It’s always really funny to me when games try and have NPCs talk about the main story or something. Like in every far cry game the first thing I do when given control is go and absolutely Max out my character and get all the unlocks and fast travel points I can before I start hitting stuff that’s locked behind main story progression. The whole time I’m running around and unlocking towers and guns you’ll get passing NPCs talking about the urgent thing that needs to happen right away.

Some devs are getting smarter about these things and only giving you a few side quests per main story quest finished so you have to progress through the main story to get all the powerful shit you want.

Normally I can’t stand when quizzes/tests are clearly written in a way to make you pick a certain thing but for this one I think I can make an exception… Maggie is exceptional. You can just tell.

I mean I do think that given where inflation is at (and heading) that perhaps the penny and nickel don’t need to really be made anymore, but I also know that many people love coins.

Realistically we could just stop buying washers at 10k a pop for our military and then we could afford to make coins forever, but that’s a different conversation about government spending…

Like the other comment said you’re reading into it a bit much.

And I would feel fairly confident that the commenter was a woman because attacking someones personality (that they don’t know at all) is typically done by women. If they don’t like something you said they tend to tell you that you have a crap personality or a tiny dick.

So I am open to being wrong about that commenter, but I would feel comfortable putting a gentlemans bet of 1 dollar that it was left by a woman.

Yeah but typically that conversation comes after days of texting/calling to get to know them somewhat. It’s not like I’m gonna match with someone and immediately ask them if they are comfortable splitting the bill on the first date. Maybe I should just ask that right out of the gate to avoid wasting time. Idk.

It’s the constant lost progress that wears you down. You’re carrying the conversation and keeping it fun while half the women are dry and give short answers to everything because they are messaging back the 20 other guys who all matched with them that day. So you put in the effort to try and stand out only to find out the night before a date or when a date is first brought up that they aren’t compatible. It’s just draining on you after enough times.

I didn’t even state any opinion. I literally just said shared a fact I find entertaining. Chill out.

Oh I wasn’t making a comment on the value. I just think it’s funny that it costs more than a penny to make a penny.

That’s actually interesting. I probably have some low circulation coins in my coin jar. How much are they worth?

Those 3 pennies cost ~12 cents to make.

Oh so a man can’t jerk it at work now? What if he was on a break? Accidents happen.

/S

So either myself and all other other single men I talk to about this all have terrible luck or there is some sort of shift that’s happened in the last ~10 years and it’s finally getting so bad that others are picking up on it.

I was in a relationship or dating in one form or another from the age of like 14 until I was ~27. Only in the last 6-7 years did it get really bad.

I think it’s a combination of a lot of things but ultimately it’s become a numbers game and most guys just don’t want to put up with the bullshit anymore. Especially in this economy many dudes are just checking out. Not only from dating but basically everything.

First of all: *Your

Secondly: Yikes bro. You made a LOT of assumptions and pretty much all of them were wrong.

I don’t really give a shit about sex. At least that’s not my goal when dating. I am looking for someone that is kind, thoughtful and curious. Someone who is intellectually stimulating and emotionally mature.

I could call up pretty much any of my exes and get sex if that’s all I was after. I am just looking for genuine human connection.

When my choices are expend time, energy and money just to be taken advantage of/toyed with or sit at home and be at peace with myself I’m gonna take the peace every time now.

If you went fishing for years and never caught anything except toxic sludge at some point you just stop fishing. Spend that time and energy on something else. That’s where most men are at these days. And yeah some of those guys are just unrealistic assholes, but most of them really aren’t.

Personally I am just living my life. If I happen to bump into someone and hit it off I won’t fight it, but I’m not going to actively spend my time, money and energy looking anymore.

Well that’s the only character I know so.

That is simply not true. 130kph is the recommended speed. For certain marked stretches of the Autobahn there is no speed limit and it is understood that you do not pull into the left lane without checking for fast moving cars behind you. If they find that you still would have crashed if you had been going 130kph you are unlikely to be held responsible.

She was filming a video at the time and when she woke up in the hospital days later the German police told her what had happened and she was not found to be at fault at all. The deceased person who had pulled into the left lane without checking was entirely at fault. She flew home as soon as the German doctors had done the major surgery to her legs and spine.

My mom’s entire side of the family is German and many of them still live in Germany. Talks about the Autobahn have come up at family gatherings on multiple occasions.

I am willing to admit my data might be out of date, but from a quick Google it appears to still be the same rules.

It’s about 3 times the speed limit for most highways in most places. Give or take.

The stopping distance at those speeds is 500+ meters.

Even with the best tires, brakes and driver that’s several football fields end to end before that car comes to a stop. If anything happens at those speeds it is unlikely the driver will be able to do anything about it in time.

There was a woman that worked for a car magazine that was doing a video on the Autobahn and someone pulled out in front of her around those speeds she instantly killed everyone on the vehicle she hit and she was left permanently injured and barely able to walk. She wasn’t even at fault in that situation either. It’s the job of the people pulling into the fast lane to check for fast moving cars and for whatever reason they didn’t.

You friend is playing a dangerous game with more than their own life.

…Wormtongue?

Splitting the bill on the first date is possible with the right women, but for a lot of women the second you mention it they get offended and/or ghost you. I would say ~30% are open to splitting the bill for the first date and the rest find it to be a huge turn off or they will legitimately get mad.

I have had women call me broke and tell me to delete their number when I suggest we split the first date bill before hand. I mean it weeds out the bad ones early but it still sucks.

His videos are hilarious. Mostly accurate too.

I never said it was a new shitty behavior from women. It’s just that more men are aware of it now. Especially since a lot of women will post about it online and while they do get to share it with their yaaas queen slay fan base men do also see those posts. They see those comments where women are bragging about how many dates they have gone on with zero intention of actually romantically engaging with the man at any point.

And to be clear I am not sitting here thinking this is a one way street. I am fully aware that men have a long history of going on dates just to get laid and then never talking to that woman again.

Both genders got shit they need to work on just like most people got shit they need to work on.

Interesting response. I take it you must be one of those women I was referring to in part of my comment somewhere.
