  • Nah, I’ve certainly had a few reflective moments where I realized my missed opportunities. The reality is, unless you’re really confident and self-possessed, it’s hard to put yourself out there. So I can understand why these guys didn’t just spell it out for me, cause they likely weren’t sure I was into them. And on my end, I always struggled with low self-esteem, so I just assumed that these attractive guys weren’t actually into me and were just being nice/good friends.

    Anyways, I’m glad your girlfriend is an exception to the rule.

    82.4°f is pretty decent weather. Unlivable is more like 100°f+, hence the “100% hot” scale. Nice weather would be 75°f, which makes sense when you think of it in terms of the “0-100% hot” scale.

    I agree that other things like distance, volume, etc are better in metric. I really wish the US would just standardize metric UOM in general. But I do think fahrenheit is better for temperature.




  • I agree that the older American generations had this whole thing where they said the US is the greatest country in the world, but as an American millenial, I certainly don’t feel that way. And I haven’t met too many Americans in my generation or younger that genuinely feel that way (granted, maybe this is cause I don’t have any MAGA friends). Those of us that don’t follow the train wreck that is Trump are very aware of our country’s deep flaws and corruptions, and like virtually every other country that has corruption, there’s little the people can do. I vote, and I encourage others to vote, but not a whole lot I can do about the rich driving this country into the ground.

    I can tell you just naturally dislike Americans and think we’re all the same, but maybe consider the fact that none of us can control where we were born, and many of us don’t have the luxury of just moving out of the country. So please don’t assume that living in the country you were born and raised in automatically means that you are ok with the decisions our overlords are making for us.
