See and I probably would have asked her out twice, haha.

"red flags/bullets" are more just extremes of character that are taken into account when you get to know someone.

if enough of what they do fits into this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_manipulation

that's enough to avoid.

everyone does them from time to time of course but if they do it all the time or knowingly do it then they're definitely not worth it

Wait, so the fart would be extra enticement for you?

In retrospect i think I was a tad immature, but I just got really freaked out by the loudness of the fart and how shameless she was about it. It was at odds with who I thought she was. She was really cute and fun so I sorta did regret not going for it.. But whatever! Young men do dumb things.

edit: I was thinking about it and I think if that happened again I'd still pass. I don't think loud farts are a very nice thing to do around someone.

This election season has me on the edge.

As a person whose on disability and will probably be on food stamps when I find an apartment and will also be on HUD, I just want this elections to get done and have Hillary win.

Trump, Cruz and Rubio make me hella nervous about my benefits and I don't want any of those people cutting my benefits. Their whole idea of smaller government scares the hell out of me.

Late last year, I just started as a morning janitor for a bar and grill. I'm part time for now, but I get some good superficial benefits like 15% percent off any meals I have there and free soda. But goddamn, I need dental benefits so I don't give my dental care people $20 out of my disability pay, jesus

I want out of my dad's house before the elections because I don't want to defend voting for Hillary to my father dear whones believes every damn word that comes out of any Fox News Channel anchors.

I hate this feeling of being on the edge and not know who will win the election.

If it was done in a joking manner, sure I wouldn't be put off by it. It's just a bodily function that everyone has to do. May as well have fun with it sometimes.
All depends on the context though.

Yeah, manipulation is a big no no for me. Probably why that "dead grandma" thing freaked me out so much. I've had to deal with that sort of manipulation before, and I have no interest in going through it again.

Man, when you're a teenager you're always told that the angst goes away. That's totally not true. It just gets buried beneath societal expectations and responsibilities and isn't given room to breathe.

I have *never* farted in front of a girl I was dating or wanted to date, or really girls in general (other than my sister, I guess). I get that maybe there's a mistake once in a blue moon, but cmon, it's a bad way to start a potential relationship.

My entire wardrobe consists of stuff I wear to work or lounge around in at home. pretty much a body image thing I need to get over

Body issues body image -- I think everyone's got that to some extent... I've got some of my own. I guess it all begins and ends up here. (I pointed to my head)

I think we get better at hiding it but no, in a lot of ways, I'm still a terrified teenager at 35 years old.

Almost ruined my stew. Put some whole milk in with the broth to try and thicken it. That ended up turning into just curdely ugliness (still tasted fine) after about 4 hours. I had to strain it all and add new broth.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Man, if I could go back in time and make Costume Quest, I would. This and Paper Mario (actually the entire Mario RPG series) do the genre so well.

 

[Jobbs]

I'm trying to script some player controls and all the animations and states and stuff from scratch because I thought it'd be fun/easy to do it efficiently with my "skills" but.. I'm choking pretty bad for some reason. Haven't done this in a while.

 

[iosefe]

It's 66°F (19°C) and lightly cloudy in Newport Beach, aka sundress weather.

The best weather, really

I think everyone saw my frustrations last month doing a controller from scratch.
It rates pretty high on the anger scale, more on the "tear all my hair out" level.
I feel ya, man.

I already told you the kind of things I've heard. pretty much helped me give up at trying to find things I like

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I always wear sweaters at work because I have body issues. I can't wear shirts that cling to my body anymore, which I used to do all the time. I have abs, but they're underneath this doughy shit I want to get rid of. Thank God I run 5 1/2 miles a day.

How do you lose 10 lbs without dieting?

Spoiler

That was rhetorical

 

[Granadier]

Increase the amount of exercise you are doing.

Work out a lot, I suppose.

Pretty sure everyone on earth has abs if they get to count them being underneath fat.

I have scars that I don't like! Most people wouldn't think scars are a big deal but they bother me. I like things to look clean and even.

my mom is impressive on the backhanded compliments. she thinks she's helping/motivating but most of the time it just falls flat. at worst well...

she used to tell me "you'd look so good if you were thinner"
less than a year ago she showed me a photo from that time period and said "look how thin you were. if you could get back to that you'd look so good"

-_-

My chest is caved in from pectus excavatum, so I dislike wearing t-shirts or tight fitting clothing.
Slowly getting over it though and learning to just deal with by body the way it is.

Ooooh, I forgot that Apple released GameplayKit last year. This might make building my game more fun. Seriously need to refactor this pile of spaghetti though.

Yo that sounds like a Harry Potter hex.

Ha! I wish it was. That'd make the explanation more interesting than, "My ribs got stuck under my sternum as a baby".

Surprisingly, as much as I made it a big deal in my head I haven't met anyone that is put off by it or freaked out. (Outside of bullies in grade school, but they don't count)

OT, but you are a really positive person. Rock on.
