I despise all cold brew apart from the vanilla Chameleon Cold Brew. Apparently cold brew coffee procures a higher caffeine level, with some brands at 3x as much caffeine per cup when compared to standard hot coffee. I can’t turn down that efficiency.
I’m going to contest this take. Every medium of humor is just a tool. There’s nothing inherently funny about words, pictures in cartoons, the delivery of an actor’s dialogue, and yes, GIFs. GIFs are just a more recent addition to the tool box. Reactions to a GIF depends on how it’s used. I’ve seen GIFs in the group chat that didn’t get any sort of positive response. GIFs being “crutches” would suggest that any troglodyte can Russian Roulette a selection of GIFs, and get a laugh for whichever one he pulls the trigger on. I don’t think that’s the case.
If Todd’s admission of guilt stymies her moment of self awareness, that message will go down as the worst-timed text in history. That being said, very well written and humanizing depiction of Girl. This was not a casual read.
Growing up in Florida afforded me the opportunity to learn quite a bit about these heartless fucks over the years. My advice to you is to surround yourself with people that have type O blood. Mosquitos prefer it, and will leave you alone when given the opportunity to get that sweet O.
This may certainly apply as a type of overboard public display of affection, and to that end I’m inclined to agree. Otherwise, rein it in a little. Pet names are exactly what I just called them: a display of affection. Yes, you have a first and last name. A stranger will call you by your title and last name, and then by your first name if the pair of you get close enough. No one shakes hands with someone for the first time and drops a nickname on you. Why? Because they don’t know you like that. I promise if someone gives you a pet name or nickname, it’s meant to be an offering of intimacy. You may not like them, but they are by no means “demeaning” (generally).
Last girl: Don’t discount the long game. Most guys are not limited to knee-jerk attraction. I have a friend to whom I was not the least bit attracted when we met. Everyone’s heard the personality song and dance, but she was always fun to be around. Personality is great, but it wasn’t the answer in this case. It was the fact that I started to get a feeling of comfort and familiarity around her that ultimately led me to see her in an entirely new light. I can’t speak for everyone, but I cannot overstate how good it feels to genuinely be able to put your guard down around someone. I got to that place with her after being friends for close to a year. In my opinion, that feeling creates an extraordinarily powerful sense of intimacy.
Super underrated comment. People tend to think that this is due to how polarized things have become, but the cause actually stems from the fact that politics have begun to permeate more and more aspects of daily life. No one takes a break from it now. Dealing with the constant presence of issues that could cause conflict makes it increasingly difficult to spend an inordinate amount of time with someone who can’t stand the other side.
The detail of “incomplete” that you mentioned is huge. I know a lot of people who relationship hop, and are never not dating somebody. In order to be a healthy contributor to a relationship, you have to be fully secure and comfortable with who you are, and what you want. So described “incomplete” people see a relationship as a vehicle to validate themselves as being worthy of devotion, instead of drawing that feeling from within.

We called it “Kill the Carrier” when played at school.
We often substituted Kill the Carrier as a title for Smear the Other Guy

I was just getting a little cuffing season fomo until I read this. Thanks DeFries.
