I certainly did.

Damn! I’ve been found out!

It’s only hypocritical if you approve of it’s use that way, which I do not. It would be naive or even stupid to expect those countries not to retaliate, but I don’t like it when anyone interferes in a diplomatic process.

I went gray at eighteen.

I have no idea. I haven’t personally dated any. Just (as far as I know) cis people.

I’ll look at revising my data if I break up with my current partner. I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon, though.

I didn’t know Carlin said this, but the funny thing about it is, any bi person will tell you it’s the truth. You have to pick between dating crazy, or stupid.

“Everybody’s record starts somewhere.” If you’re considering doing something illegal, is this worth starting your record? (It’s also used to dismiss someone getting into trouble for the right reason.)

I’m realizing that my previous one sets a bad tone for this, but I had hippie uncles, and we were all taught, “We do not cooperate with the police.” Some of us were recently reminiscing about one of my dead uncles and said, “We do not-!” And the rest of us said, “-cooperate with the police!”

All the rest of them are your typical American South sayings.

You know what would be a fantastic way to spur forward legislation and law stopping the president from doing anything bonkers?

Having the president do something bonkers that the evil assholes who are setting the field to make Trump a king, have no choice but to stop.

“Fundamentally attracts females” sounds like you get your advice from other men on the internet, and not the two women who are both attracted to men that you’re currently talking to.

Example; my fiance has a gigantic beard. But! He trims the underside so it doesn’t grow out of his friggin throat, and he trims it down so it doesnt grow way up on his cheeks like a werewolf. He gets his hair cut regularly, and aside from that he just keeps all of it clean and free of tangles.

On other men, this squarish beard would look terrible. But on him, it’s fantastic. He has a longer face, so this is what works for him. And it was advice I gave him (back when we were just friends).

A dear friend of mine is an autistic gentleman who was having trouble dating online. I asked him some questions, figured out what he can and can’t do for his comfort, and then from there I helped him alter his clothing choices. Nothing expensive, just explained how to change his color choices to work with his skin and eyes! I advised him on how to care for his (very long, he has a sensory thing) hair, and then introduced him to fragrance. He dated two girls until he met his current girlfriend and they’ve been together a year and a half!

Don’t get your advice from men who aren’t even attracted to men. When you want to know what’s attractive, find and ask the people who are capable of being attracted to you. Anyone else is just wasting your time. And the bottom line has nothing to do with expense or resources or wealth. The style that suits you could be as cheap as t-shirts and jeans you already own, as long as it’s the stuff that works with your appearance, not against.

This kind of recognition helps, to be honest.

Here’s to us improving!

The rest of that sentence was, if those men find out what looks good on them. As in, on those individuals, specifically.

This was the first time on Lemmy I had to suppress the knee-jerk urge to insult someone.

Everyone can improve their appearance with education and effort. Everyone.

Coffee is remarkable for the digestive system.

I don’t know where in the world you are but the Publix near my house always has hummus tubs BOGO and that makes it extremely affordable. I just have to be careful not to look at much else cuz everything else is way too expensive for my blood.

are jus’ as powerful

You gained zero time by putting an apostrophe where a letter goes! This is an absurd waste of time!

Sounds like the answer is for him to pull the trigger himself?

This strikes me as a way desperate people who have little to offer a relationship are trying to make themselves seem more desirable.

“Sure, I don’t take care of myself and I’m no fun to be around and I haven’t had a job since 1997, but those other people have secret contagious vaccine secretions. Do you really want to risk that?”

This made me lol.

Just brutal. Completely true, but brutal.

For clarification: having an enemy is not enough to be qualified as a negative friend.

You have to have a friend who is entirely a drain on you and provides you with absolutely zero positive benefit to being friends with them.

I agree with you but I believe I have an answer. The implication is, if you can afford to buy the $100 steak, you can afford to tip more. And if you can’t afford to tip more, you shouldn’t but the steak.

Which is horrible, and dumb, and tipping is garbage. But that’s where that comes from.

Our disordered eating sisters and brothers really need to never find out the answer to this question.
