I look forward to Thursdays because I teach English to this super handsome, funny, charming guy, and today he was as handsome, funny, and charming as ever :] Today's lesson was about things you like and dislike about people, and he told me "I like funny, good looking people like you 
" without knowing that made my night, lol. I want a gay version of this guy ;( *Goes back to Tinder*

No, I respect his choice to be straight. It's his lifestyle, not mine.

Dont care about the Nier franchise, but I want this one due to Platinum.
I just wish I liked the look of Zelda but ugh that art style is just not to my liking.
Glad to see such awesome reviews for them though.
Nier had to go and get released the same time as the Switch, the bastards.
Just hoping I'll have enough money when Target's B2G1 hits.
Yep, hopefully by the time it comes out on Steam I'll have finished (or accomplished enough) Zelda. Still kinda miffed at Square Enix being so coy about the PC release, it's like they want the game to sell badly on the platform.

Thought some of you would like this.
I love how he even admits his own ignorance and discomfort but his basic human decency get's him past that.

HuffPo: The Epidemic of Gay Lonliness
This article echoes so much of what I have felt in the gay community. Interested to hear others' thoughts on this.

The article doesn't posit any reasons why things are like this, only that gay men tend to have fewer close relationships than straight men/women + gay women.
I can hazard a few guesses as to why.
edit: Whoops there's more of the article. I didnt see the scroll bar.
edit2: Wow what a read. Fuck...

I can relate to these
It fucking sucks and it doesn't help I have experienced racism in school by so called authority figures and by gay men. I don't like to socialize as much as I used to because of it. I keep to myself most of the time.
It's a damn good read even if it's depressing.

Glad this is resonating with so many of yall. I would be interested to hear specifics on what you did and did not relate to. Some of the ones that hit me hard
As a short, fat, non-masc, black gay, this sounds pretty accurate to my experience.
I basically have 2 stand up jokes about both forms of black rejection on apps!
Feel like I have to say this every time people say "oh just don't use apps". They are a nigh necessity for gays who don't live in major cities, but even the major cities have their drawbacks:
Yep, in-group rejection stings the most, since it attacks the core of your self. Also explains the nigh universal disdain for "gay community" by gay people.

Damn :'(
So true its not even about kids or marriage but basic human acceptance,from others and from yourself wich is still so lacking,no matter where you are you will always feel fear of being seen as weird and lesser ,combine that with a somewhat toxic community made of outcasts,typical masculinity/sexist views and no wonder psychological issues are so prevalent.
The femmephobia specially has to stop now i can't believe we can treat each other like this.already bad enough in a shitheaded society.
;_;
Even I can relate to some of this... Especially about being self-critical, in the closet and shrugged off by uncaring adults.
Edit: Also mental health issues because of it. I've never told anyone about it, but I used to cut myself as a misguided means to distract myself from the overwhelming stress I felt while I was confused about my sexuality. It used to give me so much anxiety that literally I couldn't stand it. Thankfully, my sexuality doesn't really stress me out nearly as much these days, but that anxious feeling can still crop up on occasion. People really shouldn't be so stressed at that age.

Wait do you like Applause? If so my wife would love you.
Its her favorite song of all time.....so I of course found a cover she loathes and I play it all the time around her
Gurl my Stan card for Gaga during the Applause era was intense 😂 It's one of my fave songs of all time ngl.
I love your wife already lol
Nope. The production is weak and generic, the song feels like 2 songs poorly mashed together and the lyrics compared to previous work is on basic levels of song writing to the point its up there with Katy Perry on levels of basic.

It's generic for Lorde, it would probably sound better if it was someone else.
Lol great prediction
Man I can't believe there hasn't been a single "insane fanboys throwing a fit" review yet. People are yelling about whether the game will be "just" amazing or if it will influence game design in the future (I doubt it). Can't wait for tomorrow (these reviewer better be right, I bought a Switch solely for this game, otherwise I would have waited until christmas)
At least I got this dumb gif out of the thread : made chuckle a bit even tho I'll probably buy a PS4 and Horizon later this year.
Although the more realistic one would have Nier instead of Horizon.
I second this 100%. Thought it would grow on me after a few listens but no, that weird transition to the chorus is way too jarring.

And that's that on that.
Technically, I am obese, but that term sounds too clinical for my ears (like homosexual).
Was the guy you were with positive or were you just not careful enough? Whatever it is, hope the results come out negative.
I didn't use a condom like an idiot, because the guy insisted, it was rather quick but still... I'm in the 72 hour window so they told I'm going into PEP anyway regardless of the results.
It's 15 minutes no?
Yeah but it's been half an hour D:
