Yea, I like medium-well personally. I can cook it so it doesn’t get dry and chewy though. If your steak comes out like the op it’s a skill issue.

No , but you can talk to them and make friends. Women like dudes who they can interact with and not have to worry about the dude trying to fuck them the instant they let their guard down. If you show up for the activity and focus on having fun and not just to try and get laid it makes you safer to be around. It has to be genuine though people can pick up on it if you have ulterior motives.

I’m not interested in dating but I have female friends who try to introduce me to women when we go out to bars and things like that because they know how I am and trust me not to be an asshole. By comparison there is another dude in our group who is constantly acting thirsty and going after any woman that shows him even the slightest attention. He does not get the same consideration and has been left out of a number of events because of his behavior. I do understand that that can be a difficult thing to shut down sometimes but learning to do it goes a long way.

Yeah I saved a fuckload on phones since they stopped putting the features I want in them. Thanks for setting that trend apple!

Without good hardware to interface with software is useless.

I’m gonna believe the other guy because it’s funnier that way.

And too much make-up is indicative of having a fake personality.

It’s really not. Women wear makeup for all kinds of reasons. It’s really nobody else’s business but their own.

I scrape the crud off while it’s still hot and then rinse it with dish soap and water. Never had an issue.

But like… repeatedly beating yourself up over it everytime your brain starts to wander on its own and ruining your day is less good.

Yea, tons of stuff like that is why I did things the way I did. If I start at the beginning instead of trying to jump around and figure out where you messed up it’s usually much more efficient. There were people who I was confident in their ability enough to skip around but if they were new to me we were going to cover the entire process to be sure.

I have the same problem. I work in IT and when I was on the help desk I was one of the “go to” people if someone needed help with a call. There were a couple times I heard new hires complain that I was “mansplaining” to them because I never knew where someone was coming from in terms of technical ability so when I answered their question I began at the beginning to make sure they understood. I did the same thing regardless of gender but I can see how someone felt like I was being condescending if they weren’t familiar with me. It did always seem like it was people who didn’t want to be there that would complain about it too. On the other hand several people that went on to get promoted off the help desk sent me thank you notes for teaching them so much so it kind of balanced out.

my eyes are pretty shitty but I went 3 years without correction once when I didn’t have insurance and I did ok. Being born really premature would have taken me out pretty quick though.

Absolutely zero need to further define this shit beyond pedophile. They should all be treated the same. Except the last one. But maybe still just in case.

Same but I don’t mind sleeping on the couch soooooo…

So, I can’t really explain how to do this, but for me the way I overcame that was talking myself into not being interested in them first so I could manage a conversation and get to know them more and from there whatever happens, happens. Obviously you don’t do this long term because you end up with that friendzone/girlfriendzone situation that makes people feel used but if you’re just getting to know someone initially I think it’s fine. It’s also allowed me to filter some out when I learned more about their personality and realized I didn’t like them as much as I thought I did or they made it clear they weren’t into me like that.

You can’t be a good person and be a billionaire. The simple fact that you have that much money means you’re taking more than your share. No one is creating a billion dollars worth of work.

I started at 15 so i could afford a car.

I’m in my 30s and all the single women I know in my range are somewhere near the asexual end of the spectrum or have kids. There’s nothing wrong with those things but those they would not work for me in a romantic relationship.

Yeah it’s not about “ownership”, it’s a partnership. You can’t rely on someone that’s also trying to maintain romantic relationships with other people as well.

I remember being so confused by why the X-Men villain was named Nimrod when I was a kid. I always assumed it was ironic or something but never really got it. Then as an adult I learned about the biblical Nimrod and was like…“oh”. I wonder what if would have been like if I hadn’t been exposed to Looney Tunes first.

Yeah…
