A “situationship” is an ambiguous dating relationship where one person maybe wants to get serious and the other doesn’t want to talk about it. Risk factors include “short-term open to long” in tinder bio

edit: whoops I forgot about the incel conception of it, that if you’re friendly to a woman she’ll put you in the “unfuckable” box. Anyone who has dated a friend knows that just isn’t true lol.

This is a struggle session tier controversial topic, but “friend zone” is what happens when

(a) you don’t want to date someone, but are afraid to reject them completely. A lot of people soften the blow by saying “oh we can still be friends”, in the lying polite way you’d say “we should hang out more!” before never following up on it. Especially prevalent among women, because men are dangerous, and especially prevalent when you don’t want to rock the boat in a friend group. It’s actually quite difficult to be friends with an ex or failed romantic prospect even if both people genuinely do want to be friends; you have to manage strong emotions without being able to directly change them.

(b) the rejected party either doesn’t understand or refuses to accept the rejection. Classically, this leads to men trying to “win over” women who don’t want them, and honestly probably don’t even want to be friends now that the dude is being weird about it, while thinly pretending to just be a good platonic friend. Let me get that door for you mlady.

It’s totally legit to want to date someone but not be “just friends” with them. It sucks to lose a friend that way, it’s happened to me, but we’re all adults here and sometimes people have enough friends already or don’t want to be friends with you badly enough to deal with any additional heartache from working through those emotions.

once a strange white woman came up to me in a starbucks and put her hand on my shoulder said “im voting for kamala harris”

Lmfao. You’re doing God’s work, these people should be terrorized

what if I am a terminally online grass-starved labor aristokkkrat. what then, mr marx?

lol as soon as I saw the numbered list my eyes almost involuntarily flicked upward to see what instance you were from.

You may not be aware, but this comm (/c/chapotraphouse) actually has a rule against this type of comment

political outsider

Bro you were literally President how can you be any more of an insider than that

lmao i thought it was just hexbear emoji that were huge on other instances. apparently it goes both ways

Brass left at ranges is swept up and used by somebody. Likely somebody who reloads for fun. Reloading is not cost effective unless you are shooting really expensive ammo. Must sort out the different case sizes and metals, and discard damaged cases. Then you need equipment (so space and money) and time. There are risks: if you mess up and add too much powder to a cartridge, you might blow up your gun (or yourself). The possible savings: ~15 of the 30 cents per round you spent on nice new 9mm.

lmao

i have no idea who empress is and assumed that she is trans and this was a chaser-type transphobia cw lol

the apps are such shit. probably two thirds of the profiles I see are just women trying to get followers for their instagram. then there’s the snapchat in bio scammers, the sex workers with a location 1000 miles away. Plus the godawful gender ratio and it’s just a horrible demoralizing experience

I still do it though, I have one (1) semi-regular FWB I met on an app so I guess it’s worth it? :/

I think hexbear sent me here: https://elan.school/. Graphic novel about a troubled teen abuse camp stemming ultimately from Synanon. Content warning: this sent me into a funk for like a day.
