And when we do want them, it may be too late for us to have them. Meanwhile, everyone who shouldn’t be having kids is having dozens of them, leading to an IQ degeneration of the human race. Idiocracy started out as fiction, but it’s turning into a documentary.
Us Jews have no problem drinking at synagogue on various holidays like Purim (it’s our version of Halloween and you’re commanded to get so drunk that you can’t tell your enemy from your friend). I think Catholics could take a few pointers.
Not trash. If anything, you probably paid 80-100% in tip, assuming food and tax pre-tip was around $10 total. It’s unreasonable to expect someone to split the bill evenly if they have just one drink while everyone else orders $30+ worth of food.
I think this is a grey area and a lot of it depends on your culture and upbringing. There’s a very fine line between yelling at someone and shoving them and hitting them. Domestic violence is absolutely never okay and is the brightest of red flags in any relationship. But yelling? That’s a very grey area. I do admit that I missed the part about her being shoved, which changes some things, but overall I still stand by my point.
These people all suck and I’ll never dine with them again. If you’re not splitting the order total evenly among however many people are there (barring some extraordinary circumstance), you’re a trash person.
Guy with the girlfriend STI test: unless you have other reasons to believe that she’s cheating on you, you have to take her word for it. If you let your previous relationship insecurities fester and blame your girlfriend for something that she didn’t do, you’ll ruin the relationship, like Dillon said.
Girl whose boyfriend got mad: sounds like everything was handled well. You’re approaching a year with the guy so you’re beginning to see his true self reveal itself slowly and slowly as the relationship progresses. If he acknowledges what he did and is working on it and it doesn’t happen again, nothing to it. Sometimes shit happens. But if this thing starts repeating itself, then it’s something to worry about.
Not at all, at least not in the US. I only switched because messaging on Android sucks. Since everyone uses iMessage and very few people use WhatsApp/Telegram, like in other countries, there’s no way to easily send multimedia files. I got tired of sending/receiving pics and videos that looked like they were shot on a Nokia phone from 2003.
Probably not because Android actually has an App Drawer so that you can customize your apps locations to your liking and not deal with them the cluttering the home screen like we did back in 2007.
Man I miss the customization ability of my Pixel 2.
Ever since I came back to iOS from Android, I’ve been using the Widgets pane and it’s a total game changer. So convenient for weather, sports scores, calendar, and my new favorite iOS 12 feature: screen time tracking.
I know that this won’t be of much help coming from an internet stranger, but props for doing this and keep your head up. You will build that nest egg and have a newfound appreciation for spending/saving money, which will positively affect your financial habits for the rest of your life.
Grew up in the city, can confirm. I started riding public transportation toward the end of 4th grade because my parents were both busy working and couldn’t afford to pay anyone to pick me up from school. Wasn’t too bad, just taught me to be extra vigilant of my surroundings, something I still do when I’m in a new or sketchy area.
I’m not a big social media user so I might be completely out of the loop but…do people actually go through all this thought process and effort just to post a story on Instagram?
My old apartment didn’t have laundry in the building at all…we had to go to the laundromat two blocks down the street and spend a few hours doing it there. It sucked so much. At my new place, the laundry is literally right next to my apartment. While I don’t have the luxury of having it in my apartment (and I can’t imagine how much such an apartment would cost out here), it’ll definitely be a massive upgrade.
I don’t watch The Bachelorette so I have no idea what happened there, but my point for him was to lose virginity to gain confidence. Of course there’s a ton of women that’ll date a guy if he’s a virgin, that’s an indisputable fact. But everyone telling him this (and I’m sure that everyone he knows probably is telling him) is falling on deaf ears because he’s more insecure than a pimply-faced teenager and probably will be until he either fundamentally alters his views on relationships or finally loses his virginity to someone. Or, ideally, both.
Virginity guy: I think that your problem lies deeper down. There’s a pattern from your post where you get “heartbroken” or “destroyed” by women, even though you’ve never slept with them. I know that it’s somewhat common today to say that you can be intimate with people and love them, etc. without ever having sex, but I don’t think that’s true. I don’t believe that you can absolutely, truly love a person until you’ve had sex with them. Everything else is lust.
Therefore, what you say leads me to believe that you put these women up on a pedestal and get disappointed when they don’t return your feelings back to you. We don’t know the intricacies of your relationships with them, but something doesn’t sound right. Going further based off your comments about what your female friends say about you, it seems like you’re falling into the friend zone, saving yourself for that one girl, only to be upset when she doesn’t feel the same way about you. I think that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how relationships work and it’s affecting your intimate interactions with women.
Therefore, your virginity aside, I think that you need to do some introspection and really understand your feelings and behavior. If you want to lose your virginity to get it out of the way, fine. Find a one night stand or get a hooker (unpopular opinion that I’ve previously mentioned here, but I stand by it). But that’ll only put the band aid on the wound. To be intimately successful, you need to gain confidence in yourself and understand how relationships work.

Hope you enjoy pouring lighter fluid on that bridge you’d be burning.
“Hey, you know what’ll make this government housing feel even cozier? A few extra babies crawling around.”
It was probably 20 proof from the four cups of wine he drank at Passover dinner (another commandment).

She ordered an appetizer that only she wanted without really consulting with others. That’s also a trash move.

“he’s going to struggle to make it past 30 seconds and we all know what that can do to a new relationship”
Easy. Wait 15 minutes and ask for a do-over.
