Doesn't look like she's making a joke, but rather a really good point about insecure short girls

I kind of read the same - though there's probably some self hope in there (5'2") that she seriously dates guys shorter than herself

Way back in college (late 90s) - at first it seemed interesting, but when they started asking me to call friends with them in the room to set up meetings I was surprised. The surprise turned into wariness when they wouldn't let me say anything to the friend about WHAT the business was during the phone call, just wanted me to promise a "great financial opportunity".

Even a 7'5 girl?

Sure, as long as she's OK with it - I made peace with the stigma years ago

She had a weird rhythm. Like she wanted to passionately kiss but didn't want to make out. Also, she would put herself in a certain position but then she wouldn't know what to do. I could tell she was a freak but she was afraid to let the flag fly. We dated again after but I didn't want to have sex. Was too weird the first time.

Interesting description....

I have. I even had sex with the weird girl. The sex was weird :/

how so?

Being 5' 2", I'm ok with any height girl...

True, while this article is an anecdote, the damage to the college liberal image is already there and yes there were play doh and coloring book safe spaces provided for students especially leading up to 2016 lol

Do you have a source for this (lots of colleges providing play doh/coloring books)? Admiral once linked an article that listed one of each, but not "lots of universities", and all of them were after the election

another study (and without account needed to view)

http://www.edchange.org/publications/Activist-Burnout-Chen-Gorski.pdf

Also there are more, but those are paywall academic account required.

So a few reflections:
1) You mention "Forced involvement", the second article is about people that have been active for years
2) The post you were responding to was from somebody saying they shut off social media, which isn't the same as the active involvement mentioned in the second article.
3) The first article is from 1994, well before ANY social media, so doesn't really support your argument
4) Perhaps most damming, the second article utilizes grounded theory - this is a qualitative method (found shared themes) not quantitative (finding one group greater than another). The article states "All SJH had preexisting burnout", but that doesn't help your argument that "Forced involvement in social movements" leads to burnout. It could be that people already more idealistic are attracted and thus have "higher to fall"(even mentioned in the discussion section).

Also you didn't answer my first question - was the poster really talking about SJH movements when he/she said turning off social media helped his/her mental state?

Apparently you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to care about climate change and other issues that you personally wouldn't care about because what about the future generations!.

Except that burnout and depression commonly results from forced involvement. Cheers!

Was that poster (R Jackal) talking about ignoring climate change posts in social media? I got the impression he/she was talking about media trends/people's achievements

Also, do you have a link to "burnout and depression results from forced involvement" specific to social movements?

It has its moments, but they really fucked up the overall story. If I recall correctly, didnt that movie establish that he left New York and became an LA cop? Because they retconned the fuck out of that in 3.

I *thought* 3 stated he came back to NY after it turned out he and Holly couldn't work it out in LA (it was more than just distance that had caused the strife). I thought it was an appropriate progression - 1 had uncertainty, 2 had hope, 3 showed the downfall, and 4 showed the aftermath/acceptance

I liked it, especially the concept of an airport held hostage, but it was.. a bit too similar to the first one? I liked three (and then four) better

The point is it's not. If some guy gave into his instincts and banged a teenager then how many people here would be calling for him to be murdered? It happens in literally every topic on this very forum about crime. So the mob rule instinct by want g to extract violent revenge is ok, but having sex with an attractive woman isn't.

The fact is, we arent "civilized" at all. We like to think we're better then those that came before us, but there is literally no difference. Just because we shit in a toilet instead of the bushes doesn't change the fact that all our behaviors are the same. We have the same instincts and the same desires, whether that be sexually or violently, we still think and act the same way our ancestors did. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change the fact that you still have a pig.

So there is no difference between human society now and in and in the past? EVERY ONE of our behaviors are the same?

I turned 41 this last October - I wasn't even on the survey!

I thought it was funny that they made Medivh her dad when he and Garona had a kid together in "canon."

One little thing I did like in the terrible human storyline is that it's implied the entire plot is kicked off because Medivh was subconsciously seeking out Garona's mom.

What did you think was terrible about the human storyline?
(Not being argumentative, genuinely curious since there wasn't much they could do)

Well then...

I thought Justin Long was a great sidekick and played off Bruce Willis incredibly well.

He was basically us, the viewer, if we ended up in that situation alongside John McClane. Plus he naturally became braver over the movie.

I liked the character development - both his and McClane's (as much as there can be in a DH), especially John's monologue going to the power refinery

Wait.. aren't you in like.. Latvia or somewhere? Are you celebrating there or when you get back to the US?

I asked. They mentioned this great and I asked for specifics and got nothing. So I wouldn't hold my breath

So you two don't believe Trump has ever bullied anybody?

Apparently he's meeting with Donald Trump....

So do something that benefits Trump..and you get rewarded?

Do most of your family gatherings involve body fluid discussions?

I co-sign most of this. If he was the actual parent and not someone fuckin his sister, my whole take would be completely different. But you should know how young adults feel when even a step dad comes in at that age. Their default is usually "fuck this guy and everything about him". And this is even under that. He's someone barely older. I do agree that him taking him in under his roof should warrant home some respect. But the kid probably sees it more so as his sister taking him in and TC just being there too.

I do admit, that I lost my stride in my last few posts, cause it got later in the night. I smoked and lost a lot of my seriousness.

But as I see it, it's not like the kid is shitting on him while he's actually there. He's just not trying to be held down by TC. If anything TC should talk to his sister and she should have the conversation with him. She might have his respect more than TC does. I could be bias, since I grew up with 3 sisters myself that I barely ever got confrontational with. Or that could be legit experience giving me a better take. I only got one potent perspective like everyone else.

Appreciate the honesty - and you are right, TC and the sister should be on the same page about what they want for the brother. I've worked with/know a lot of young adults (or even 16/17 year olds) who (as you say) have that default already developing.. sadly it often externalizes to the world around them. It sounds like it didn't with you, which is great :)

Whatever mistakes they've made, they should move forward and not scratch off adaptations as non-canon. Sure, actors are gonna look different from film to film. Batman had that bad day when he was willing to murder an innocent man because said innocent might turn against society. Yes, Joker acted a little weird that one time. His tattoos can be removed and we'll just forget we ever saw those grills. And, yes, Lex Luthor was a rich kid who thought piss jokes were funny.

But to say Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam are canon and the rest are not is too much of a clusterfuck. This is a new precedent and not a very good one. It stings. Even for somebody with only a casual awareness of what goes on in comics, this is not how it should be. But they can't up and reboot when they have three good films to their credit, a possible fourth and fifth ones on the way, and a shared Justice League film.

Good point and well written - keeping the overrall history of movies has more to add to continuity/world building than the individual drawbacks of BvS etc

Not gonna lie, that was tongue in cheek. But, this is still normal behavior for 18 year olds around here.

I'm going to throw my two cents in, both from working in therapy/social services for a decade and lots of personal stories from friends.

Just because you feel it's normal behavior (and I'm not sure I'd be OK with pregnancy scares being normal) doesn't mean we/TC can't address it in a more direct manner than "I'm your buddy". For better or worse, the adult (still with a child's mind) is living with him, and TC and his gf seem to have taken on the caregiver role.
By no means am I saying TC should call the police on him for staying out late, but discussing rules/expectations is perfectly reasonable while the brother is staying at his place. The intention is to help build awareness of the importance of following rules/laws to get what you want in life, but delivered through the immediate vehicle of rewarding positive behavior ("You get to keep staying here")

On a related note, I've seen soooo many personal stories of what you say - "I'm 18, eff off, you can't tell me what to do" and it's been tough to say how they'd end up. One (25) is now in big boy jail on drug distribution charges.. another (31) is finishing a dentistry residency...

I only know of RE and the Umbrella Corp from the movies, and their logic/business plan seems even more flawed.. by the fourth movie most of the WORLD is overrun, so who exactly are their going to sell these products to?

I liked it, but then I've been following WC lore since WC2. Seeing "kid" Khadgar was really cool, and seeing Lothar in action (since WC 2 didn't have the best cutscenes) really hit me in feels because of what happened to him later...

I do wish they had more.. magic/fantasy? A few spells here and there but we didn't get to see anything more than griffons...

That was KH2.

"I'm what's left. Or...maybe I'm all there ever was."

I'm not sure wtf it means, but someone on an old GameFAQs post suggested that it was him wondering if the state of being an emotionless Nobody wasn't really that different from being an amnesiac. That was before all the terrible Xehanort silliness.

Looking at his quotes, it kind of bums me out how terrible the villains were in KH3. Maybe Xemnas didn't make any sense, but he was pretty cool regardless.

Thanks - the quote really reminds of the climax of an anime battle with somebody going super saiyan

My first crush was on a tomboy who had a twin who was more of a girly-girl. I eventually grew to like the sister more.

Disaffected, aloof chicks like Kristen Stewart (though I know she's an awful person) and old school Winona Ryder still do it for me.

What did K Stewart do?
