And there will be more.

Although as far as I remember they aren't quite as bad, difficult to top that one. Also planning to read Fall of Hyperion and the Endymion books? They are all pretty different.

To be fair, I thought

Spoiler

the sex scene in the simulated medieval French forest was competently done.

The buildup to that paragraph I posted is actually really great, but the climax (ba dum tsh) is just hilarious instead of terrifying and the effect is totally ruined.

And yeah, I'm planning on reading the rest.

 

[Misha]

An example of why sex scenes in literature are always bad ideas.

I very much disagree. The issue here is that they're trying too hard to be descriptive. Written sex scenes are best if you play up the relationship and passion between the characters.

I haven't worked out in half a year and haven't been to my gym in over a year. So much has changed over here, including my performance. Now I feel like I need a complete body transplant and several days of sleep. Btw #would #suckdick #lickclit #for #acigarette

 

[zeemumu]

I keep just active enough that I can maintain my weight but if I want to maintain any muscle I need to go to the gym.

86 Caught, 89 seen. I'm over halfway through catching 'em all.

 

[Funky Papa]

my body is ready

 

[Misha]

5 days to go...

 

[zeemumu]

Tinder social?

 

[DrM]

It was "only" 13 hour shift. And we got drunk after it.

 

[Misha]

Tinder social?

I thought it was supposed to be for that too from the start

I don't understand. Are my Facebook friends the ones asking me out? Are my matches my friends? What would be the point of it being my matches? The app already does that

Well this is weird. A girl messaged me a while ago on OKC and then last night she sent me another message, but she answered her original question..like I messaged her. lol wut

Even though I literally own all of those on cart, I am still gonna buy that.

I wish they would have included like Bonk or Dinosaur Peak, one of those games that has crazy stupid value

the marketing for this is ridiculous. they even brought back the "now you're playing with power"

this thing is going to sell like crazy and they would be so stupid to not do SNES mini next year.

I would expect a few NES iterations before the SNES. Kinda like how the Atari Flashbacks re-release with more games.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I think we threw away our NES, because my dad, who worked in electronics had to repair it like three times and by then we had a Super Nintendo.

 

[zeemumu]

I've never owned and NES before. Is there a price point?

 

[Ceallach]

I've never owned and NES before. Is there a price point?

Because you're like 12. And its $59.99.

 

[Xiao Hu]

I'm gonna bite when they release the SNES version

 

[zeemumu]

Because you're like 12. And its $59.99.

Actually I just didn't have one. My friends did. If I wanted to play NES, SNES, or Genesis I had to go to one of their houses.

I also grew up watching as much Felix the Cat, Little Lulu, and Popeye as I did Rugrats, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Spongebob.

But if you really need some perceived age superiority to cling to, I've never used a Commodore 64

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Because you're like 12. And its $59.99.

I'm 35 and never owned a Nintendo. We had computers in the house so my dad didn't really think it was needed.

Got an OG Gameboy from my grandmother, though.

Now I'm at the end of ep2 and omg

[A Fish Aficionado]

A lot of girls do assivee aggressive games.

Like, a former friend told me she'd always pretend to be with someone even if she was single and wanted to get with a guy.

 

[Misha]

My guess is she's constantly striking out so she went back to someone that just didn't respond before because that's not an outright rejection and could be due to different circumstances. Answering her own question makes it look silly rather than trying to say "hey you ignored me before but are you interested now?" Which would come across as desperate

I think it's amusing at least

also why has every dude on Tinder a pic with a monkey?!?!?!?!

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Apparently it's ill advised to make fun of an internet darling as red letter. Huh.

omg a He-Man scene. This show just completely won me over.

For the vegans/vegetarians in here: would you date someone who ate meat or is it an instant pass? I'm asking for a Tinder match. She seems cool (we're both INFJ. Should I have included that in my summary?) but I think she's vegan. I'll probably just end up asking if it would be a problem.

Tbh I think it is annoying when people include their Briggs-Myers type. Being the same type doesn't mean compatibility anyway.

But I haven't heard of vegans/vegatarians rejecting people that eat meat. It is possible, and then you might get rejected, but why not just risk it?

it's only a problem for me if the guy makes it a problem. which actually happens far more often than you'd think. I think I saw it in the thread too...people just assume everything will be super complicated and you'll end up being judged 24/7. which, in most cases, is not true at all. just be open to it, show your acceptance by cooking some veggies for her and don't make it a big issue and neither will she

(Not vegan yet but)
If they didn't respect it then instant pass. Long term I could see conflict since it's a matter of morals but it's understandable(?) since most people haven't reached that conclusion and it's mostly symbolic(?) at this point in time anyway. Couldn't get me to prepare meat either way though

It's not about being judged so much as it not wanting to make them uncomfortable. I have no qualms with cooking vegan food (I really enjoy making vegan mushroom burgers) but i don't know if I'd be willing to give up meat entirely (I like fish too much), but I still want to be considerate.

They most likely have family friends coworkers etc they have to deal with so they're probably used to it. If it's an issue for them they should let you know rather than you having to figure it out on your own

like I said, don't make it seem like it's a big deal or even a problem to you. and like...maybe don't take her to a steakhouse on the first date ;P she'll apprectiate you making an effort. that's all you can do

she's not goofy! she's a princess!

I'm goofy

aww so she's a lap cat too? I have one of those. she's sooooo clingggyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

It's probably more mentioning her interests and such than saying she wouldn't tolerate otherwise. I mean someone mentioning they're Christian wouldn't necessarily mean they put it there to avoid atheists, it's more just describing part of their identity and if it attracts people who think similarly then that's a bonus
