Topic	sigh I fucked my phone battery up somehow
emblem boy 01/19/18 2:43:58 PM #4	Hmm. Weird thing it seems like my phone doesn't quick charge anymore. But that might have been happening before this potential water damage. This weekend and I'll use some compressed air all around the phone and clean what I can of the USB slot. I feel like the constant charging I've been doing on my phone this week hasn't helped the battery itself regardless --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

emblem boy 01/19/18 2:22:52 PM #1	Spilt water on my phone last week and since then my battery life has turned to shit. Overnight not using the phone, I can go from 80% to 9%. Phone is the ZTE axon 7 and I've really liked it in the 1.5 years I've used it. See myself using it for another 2 years easily.

When people don't mention obesity/smoking/etc and insist that the problem is that we aren't spending enough money, you know they aren't serious individuals and are just shilling for their flavor of leftism. I mean, I dont think leftists ignore these issues, it is just that they believe UHC would be less costly and better for health outcomes even given that Obesity and smoking literally represent 30% or more of our yearly healthcare expenditures They are one of the biggest reasons why UHC in America would not be affordable or sustainable The longer we keep thinking "we need to throw more money at the problem" rather than fix the core root issues behind the problem, the worse the situation will be While I agree with what you're saying, I sometimes wonder if even if we fixed those issues, people would suddenly be for UHC. It seems like many people are against UHC on a matter of idealogy My position is that before we can even entertain the financial feasibility of universal healthcare paid for by taxes, we need to eliminate the things that make it absurdly expensive in the first place. A 30% reduction in costs would be an immediate win in that regard. And I would never agree with any push for universal healthcare otherwise, because then we're just subsidizing other people's bad decisions with our own livelihood. And if we did reduce it significantly, someone is then gonna say we shouldn't attempt it until we reduce x by y percentage. Again, I don't disagree with you, I'm just talking out loud about how I'm cynical about how people argue various things they don't even idiologically believe in, but in order to look like they're logical they keep bringing up issues. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

Topic	UN confirms Trump 'shithole' countries slur is 'racist'
emblem boy 01/15/18 8:15:38 AM #12	FLUFFYGERM posted... Norway is a far better country than Haiti. That isn't saying anything about the color of the people in either country. Is it racist now to say that one country is better than another? There are literally objective measurements we can use to prove that Norway is a better country than Haiti. I do hope you don't think the real issue with Trump's comment was him saying the country was a shithole. It's him heavily implying that the people from those countries are inherently less than those from other countries. That he doesn't see their potential to be Americans to be the same. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3
Topic	Not dating someone because of his / her skin color isn't necessarily racist
emblem boy 01/15/18 7:09:51 AM #62	Dragonblade01 posted... Of culture influencing things like attraction? A part of the reason why black people frequently score low on the attractiveness scale (especially among certain demographics in places like America) is due to a lingering influence of the days when black slaves were frequently described as ugly. As a result, even though many people wouldn't say that black people are ugly today, features common in those descended from Africa seem to have become associated with unattractiveness. And those standards of attractiveness carry over unaware through media (since they obviously aren't specifically saying that black people are ugly, only affirming what is considered "attractive" to the masses) Nvm, I didn't realize you were talking about this topic in your post. Thought you meant something else. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

You can recognize how racism in the context of a culture as a whole can (and almost undoubtedly will) affect some aspects of the civilization's thoughts, beliefs, preferences, etc. However, calling an individual a "racist" for this reason is ridiculous. Because if someone is a racist for being influenced by a historically and/or currently racist culture, then all members of that culture are inherently racist and the word loses any explanatory power regarding individuals.

emblem boy 01/15/18 6:31:41 AM #46	I won't say it's outright racist, I just think it's weird. There are a shitload of beautiful women of all skin colors. Making the outright statement that x color is one you wouldn't find attractive seems weird to me. Like you really expect me to believe you have never found x race attractive? Do you live in a small city where you don't see them around much or something? Because I can go to any big city and find an attractive one instantly. But maybe I'm just different. I also don't see how things like hair color can drastically make someone unatracted to the other. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

I'm just scared of her one day soon saying " I love you" and me not knowing what to say If that comes up it is totally fine to let her know what you need time to think about how you feel. No one wants you to just say you love them and not actual mean it. I know I would be sad if I knew someone just lied about it. I read stuff on Reddit about how people knew they were in love and you have these people with these emotional responses after only only 4 months dating. I'm coming up on 6 and I have no idea Everyone is different and feels things in different ways. You can't judge how you feel based on other people. There really is no normal with this stuff. I fall in love really easy.... enough so that I had to hold back the I love you as I knew it was moving too fast, but once I knew things were right I was able to say it. It's totally normal to be on the opposite end of that as well. And that's fine that it might take me longer to know, but maybe I should have a time period or deadline where if I'm not feeling what others are feeling, maybe it's just not meant to be. Especially if she is having those feeling for me. I don't want to hurt her or waste her time. masticatingman posted... Long term you never really do. Im of the opinion that if youre a certain type you can have a lot of potential ones come into your life. Cynically optimistic. I think so as well.

I work 40-50 hours a week and still make breakfast every morning, dinner in the evening, pack our lunches, clean litter boxes for 2 cats, do laundry and put it away, dishes, and clean a 4 bedroom house regularly. I really dont understand TCs line of thinking in that somehow his gf having no job and providing 0 income in exchange for some housework is a good thing. 1. We have 3 cats and 2 huskies 2. For example right now I leave home at 6am and get home at 8pm. Then it's academy home work until midnight. There's literally no time for me to do anything. I would not want to leave my dogs alone for 12 hours or so. They would be miserable She could still work part time, or even remotely. If shes good with dogs, she could start a dog walking business. If shes crafty, she can sell shit on Etsy. She can buy and sell crap off eBay. I dunno. I feel like there are so many options if you think hard enough, but you seem comfortable with how things are. I'm surprised she's fine with it. If the relationship ends, she's the one that ends up being out in a bad spot with lack of experience/money for however long the relationship lasted. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

Does it feel natural to have a conversation? Like do you have to force yourself to come up with things to talk about that you don't even like or care about? There are other types of connection, that's just an example of connecting through ideas. Basically, do you ever feel like you have to force yourself to fit a mold or do you feel comfortable and confident being yourself around her? Conversations are fine, especially as we've spent more time together. LinksLiege posted... Don't treat "the one" as a thing someone simply is or isn't. You'll probably never find someone who is just perfect all the way down the list. It's a bond which grows with time. If it simply isn't growing, that could be a problem. Ya true. I just don't want to keep it going for years and then realize I was wrong. Amazon_Shampoo posted... Fully agree with this. For me I know I had found the one when I always looked forward to spending more time with her. When I looked forward to coming home to see her. That I actually enjoy all the time I have with her. I don't know if I feel that. I'm just so used to being alone, and I've been fine with that. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

Liberals seemed to agree that those countries were shitholes when making the argument for why we should accept some of the million of refugees who are fleeing them. I really don't get the disagreement here. Honestly the bigger issue is really that the president should not be calling other countries "shitholes" no matter how true it may be. It just doesn't look good. But of course, everyone has to focus on whether or not the countries in question are actual shitholes moving away from the actual issue. The bigger issue is that he obviously thinks negatively of the people in those countries. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

There's like a few measures you can use imo like... What are her goals and aspirations? What is she doing to meet those? Does she have habits you think will be compatible with your future lifestyle (drug use could be a pretty big one)? Do you spend a lot of time arguing? Does she share a lot of the same interests as you? Big ones are politics/racial/social issues. Secondary ones are music/movies/TV. It's obv ok to like different groups but do one or both of you spend a lot of time berating each other for dumb shit like if a song is good or not? Are your conversations interesting? This is a big one. You're going to be talking to her a lot. Does she just talk about work and her friends all day or do you get into more engaging abstract topics? In my opinion it's not about finding "the one", it's about finding a really strong friend who you trust and enjoy spending the majority of your time with. These are mainly what I've been trying to base my ideas on. Her goals and inspirations worry me. Just where she is in life in regards to school, job, money, loans. She's said that being with me has made her pay attention to it more, but that's worrying as well. Habits... She's very emotional compared to me. In terms of insecurities. But I don't know if it's just that I'm too "non emotional" at times, so everything else seems emotional or needy to me. How we talk is fine and we enjoy spending time with each other. It's my first relationship and I'm 27, so I don't know how I should be thinking about these things --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3

emblem boy 01/12/18 5:58:21 PM #41	luigi13579 posted... The 'shithole' part is completely unbecoming of the president, but it's the wider context of what he said that is the issue (the former is merely a distraction). It's the fact that people from these 'shithole' countries need to justify themselves in ways that other people don't. "Why are those people coming over here?" Even in the slim possibility that this isn't his intention, it plays right into the hands of the more unsavory elements in the country. This pretty much, and I'm not sure why people seem to ignore that and focus on the country being a shithole or not. And if it isn't his intention, he should be extra clear, because people aren't, and shouldn't, be giving him the benefit of the doubt at this point anymore --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3
