I don't have any strong feelings either way towards dating people outside of my race, though I notice that I tend to gravitate to people within mine. I think it's because I lived in a very homogeneous community (It was like 85% white) up until my teen years, and being sheltered my whole life has kept me out of contact with a more diverse selection of people, so I haven't really immersed myself in multiethnic communities properly.
It's more like Germanic languages took a lot from the Roman Empire when it was still around, and the Romance languages that were extant after the Romans also took a lot from the Germanic tribes. Cross pollination of linguistic elements in general is very common for geographic neighbors, and Europe was definitely no exception.

Because of my nickname? Yeah, that would make sense. No, my nickname is "El_Gato" because I really liked The Simpsons in my teenager years and Bart Simpsons alter ego was El Barto. And I really like cats, or felines in general. Interesting species.
Na was soll denn das? Nicht schlappmachen, Junge.
I think it is very close to latin, yes. We have a lot of latin words in our language. I think that is the link between all the other languages like Spanish, Italina and so on. French not so much, it's a lot different to those those languages.Is German somewhat close to Latin? Because that might explain some similarities, that are also present between English / Spanish. Other than that I don't think they're related, but we both have gendered nouns and rolling Rs IIRC

I asked in the Men's Fashion OT (twice) but no one answered, so I'll ask here. What do you guys think of these boots?
Can you record yourself saying "perro" or whatever? Or do you simply use a soft R sound like in "pero"? I'm super curious :0 I don't know anyone (from Mexico) who can't roll Rs. I mean, if you're comfortable with it of course
Just did it and I pronounced it well. Why the hell did people bullied me for it few years ago, wtf?
Oh, I see, thanks

What do you mean by rolling R's? Is that the same sound as with rrrrrr? Like in Perro?
They look Hard Gay.
I actually turned out the opposite - from 1st through 12th grade, my classmates were mainly minorities (with Hispanics like myself being the majority, then African Americans), so I ended up with a major thing for white guys and not finding other minority guys as attractive. Of course, that's not to say I would not consider dating/
banging
I'm not a bad person. ):
If that's gay, I want to give up my gay card. 😒
jk
Yes.
Oh, Hard Gay is a character from some Asian TV show then (who wears similar footwear). Okay....
Wow, I watched a minute of it and what the frig is going on.

Nothing specific.
Sneakers all year is not possible where I live unless you want to slip on the ice and break your neck. (I also don't care much for sneakers.)
Mission accomplished. :3
Thanks.
Maybe it's just me loving the sort of style I grew up with, don't know. I like sneakers more as a 90s kid. 😎

I'm a 90s kid too, but I never liked them much, even as a kid.
I like more funky/"fashionable" stuff.

Are you a big fan of Bravely Default, El Gato?
If that is fashion, I call fashion into question. 😉
Nah, to each his own. It's cool if you find something that you like and if it suits you.
Well, some part of it were really great, the art style, the combat system. The world, the map, the story and the dialogue (well, some parts), not so much. I hope they improve on all the parts that I and quite al lot of other people disliked and try to inprove them.Are you a big fan of Bravely Default, El Gato?
I still wish that alternative Ringabel costume made it into the full game (because I don't want to import stuff from Japan just to get a code for naughty costumes). You probably know what I mean (NSFW, probably).

I gotcha. You like Ringabel though? He was probably my favorite character. Edea, too! I agree with your overall comments about the game. I loved the first 4 chapters, and while there were some interesting parts of the story in the last 4, just way too much repetition for my tastes. Loved the battle/job system though. I am looking forward to the sequel.
I really liked Ringabel and Edea. The only two real characters in the story, in my opinion. Tiz and what's-her-name were just way too boring.I gotcha. You like Ringabel though?

Yeah, I hope for a good sequel too.
Oh, I also really liked the sound track of BD, I forgot to mention that in my post. Really good stuff.

Yep, agree about Ringabel/Edea being the only two real characters in the story. I sort of liked Agnes initially because she reminded me of Yuna and her "Unacceptable!" thing was funny, but as it went on, she was just boring and somewhat annoying. Tiz was almost a blank slate.
For sure, the soundtrack was fantastic. The game as a whole really reminded me of PS1 FFs - especially FFIX.
Pop mixed with punk and some electronic pop.
Here some tracks from the album
Boom Clap
Breaking Up
Break The Rules
London Queen
Gold Coins
You can also listen to her previous album True Romance which is a completely different style from "Sucker".

They look sharp. I would wear them.
I've heard Boom Clap before but I couldn't figure out who the singer was. So that's her... hmm... I like her music! Her music gives a 90's vibe.
Her main inspiration for the album was 90s movies and punk/pop. I like the campy sound most of her tracks have this era.

I like Indie Music, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5So6amgJ0so
Anyone heard of Wild Party before??

The game itself never really managed to interest me; but the soundtrack was definitely impressive. A shame that Bravely Second doesn't seem to equal it in that regard.
I can't really give much of an opinion without knowing what you'll be pairing with them, but I quite like them.
I decided to commute due to being fairly close as well - it would have been embarrassingly futile to rent an apartment half an hour away. I don't really feel that I've missed some kind of crucial formative experience yet; though that could just be denial that will eventually give way to all-consuming regret.

Well, considering part of my job is fashion styling I always try to look my best.
I do say that the most important thing is to have your own style you're comfortable with.
Thanks. ❤️
Thanks. I need another pair of shoes for winter so I don't have to wear my boots everyday. I love my boots but they are a bit of a hassle to pull on and off if I need to go somewhere quickly. I tend to wear slim fitting jeans and chinos, but I have lots of different kinds of pants.
These are my boots...
(Sorry for the bad pic, I'm at work and I'm too lazy to take them off or find a mirror.)
So I want an alternative to these, hence the shoes. I don't know how I feel about the fold down style, so that's why I'm soliciting opinions.

I feel like I suck at This War of Mine. I need to make a real life grocery list when scouting for supplies I guess.

This sounds like ignoring the fact that there are common feature sets associated with various ethnicities. Mentioning uncommon traits among those groups seems irrelevant since it wouldn't be associated with the ethnic traits of the group. I'm sure just about every eye color or hair color has appeared in just about any ethnic group, but when they are uncommon like the ones you mentioned, the uncommon traits won't throw away every understanding and association of the ethnic groups with their common physical features. That wouldn't make sense.
Those aren't mutually exclusive as your wording implies. Quite the opposite. You can tell the difference between an Asian person, black person, Middle Eastern person, white person, etc., based on common physical features. Race and ethnicity do have associations with physical features and appearance. We as people can recognize the distinctions based on the common features of the ethnic group, and that part is okay.
I'm feeling like people aren't maybe sure what racist means. It isn't simply everything that is associated with race, that's for sure.
I never forget these boots.

I like those, but I don't think I could get away with wing-tip shoes on a standard day out. ^_^

I don't see him often -- he was who I was meeting for the first time this weekend, as he lives in another state. That helps, I suppose. But I dunno. The challenge I guess will be finding the right balance between distance and closeness. I need to protect my heart from hurt but retain his spot in it as a dear friend. I wouldn't give up his friendship for anything.
In the end, I guess all I can do is work through it.
Sorry for the late reply.
I'm weary of buying clothes online because of that :/
I hope they exchange it for you, it looks great

Crushing on a friend is seriously the worst. I had very strong feelings for several of my friends in high school, and then especially one of them during college when we shared a room. It was a situation in which distancing myself from him was not really possible considering we lived together (and shared a room no less) which just made it all the harder for me. I was a wreck emotionally because I knew there was no way it would ever happen (he's straight). It's been several years since then and he's still my best friend and I don't really have those intense feelings for him anymore thankfully. I won't say there's still not a little twinge of jealousy or sadness every now and again when I think of how amazing of a person he is (and very attractive lol), but I'm in a much better place now than I was back then.

I've been in this exact situation before, to the point where I even moved cross-country in order to have more of a chance at us being together. You're going to struggle with it for a while, no doubt -- all the feelings of "what if we..." and "maybe I could..." but time wears down the rough, complicated edges and, assuming he's also interested in maintaining the friendship, you'll eventually wake up one morning and not be shackled by it (the longing) in the slightest and instead just be happy that you have such a good friend.
In my case, he and I are still close, visit each other on occasion, etc... We're both in relationships of our own now and it's not awkward or painful or unusual for either of us. So yeah, just relax and try to let life take its course. You'll be much more content in the end.
