As someone who identifies as a hot dog, this is very very offensive. Firstly, I'd like to mention how hard it is to get girls to notice me, how they all just walk past me when I try to say hello, how damaging it is when I'm ignored 24/7 when all I'm trying to do is find a friend. The vertebrate privilege is enormous, you're all just walking around with your bones and muscles and nervous systems completely unaware of how some of us are worse off, I mean, we're not even invited to the foodchain. And then I hear you complaining about kids, you don't know how well you got it AT LEAST YOU CAN HAVE KIDS
All I can do is just sit there and watch as you guys make fun of my inability to mate by referring to male genitals as sausages.
and you posted that because? Anyway, the message of this story (if there is a message) is pay attention to the signs. There are always lots of signs that we choose to ignore or prefer to misinterpret.it’s that not everybody turns out to be the person you think they are.
oh ref. Is your new relationship over?
Good point on preferring to misinterpret signs. It's frustrating when you don't see something at the time, or when you see things in a friends relationship that they choose not to address. Also, happy early birthday to your mom!
thx bfx. I've ignored and misinterpreted signs. I have also noted some major bad behaviours, but failed to react appropriately. For example, if your romantic-partner-to-be throws a cast iron frying pan across the room in anger and refuses to talk about anger issues or recognize that they might be a problem, the appropriate reaction would be to leave. If bad behaviours and appropriate responses were a multiple choice test, I probably would not have got a passing grade till I was 38.
Some of my had-to-live-it-to-learn-it advice - if you have to ask a guy you're in a hereto relationship with if he has ever (full-on) hit a girl because you just aren't sure how he's going to answer the question ... don't waste the time asking, just get the hell out of there. His answer might be no, but you shouldn't date someone you have to ask to be sure. (Side note: yes, there are a few extreme situations where a guy hitting a girl might be 'necessary' - girls can become violent and self-defense and so on : but the point in general stands.) Also, don't date someone hoping he or she is the exception to a "rule," for instance the rule outlined above. Also-also, you can always do better than someone who has committed a crime, especially a violent or threatening one, and gone to jail. (See above comment about "always exceptions" and "don't plan for exceptions.") This rule becomes somewhat less applicable as time between present and crime/jail increases, but this lessening also depends on "what crimes."
I've never hit a girl, I've never even come close to hitting a girl. There are only a few guys that I've hit, my brother being one of them and I still feel deep regret for that. As a father of a daughter, if you even have an inclination that hitting may be an option, get the hell out of there. Now.
I thought, hmm, what's that mean? And googling the word Fleekingly returns your comment, twice in a row. Good job! you don't invent a cool sounding word that's first on Google every day.Fleekingly.
In the grand, almost Buddhist sense, I completely agree. As far as absurd/absurdist media/entertainment, eh. I can enjoy some of it, but at around the one hour mark of Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie it stops being funny and starts being tragically sad.
