Can I pet that dog?

Can't tell if that Cheetah's pregnant or fat from just eating a heavy meal lol. Great shots though, that must have been awesome to see!

Damn, and here I thought we were talking about seasonal depression

I thought the exact same thing

I just thought it was some rich people shit, when I was a kid

I'm not the same guy, but I also can't say if it's a frequent part of the dating scene. My wife and I were both bad at dating, we just got lucky finding each other. I'd be screwed if I had to date again lol

Sometimes ya gotta put your entire self out there, right from the jump... see what happens

Week 2 of our relationship: I drank too much with her, took a bath while she slept (I'm at her apartment), woke up in a cold bath to her peeing and asking if I'm good

Over 10 years in now: I somehow love her more everyday and get to grow with my best friend. The "bath incident" still comes up as a funny "how we met" story

I have an in-law that fits the bill, "closet MAGA" you could even say. But I'm in the South US, so skewed right is common here

All the help forums I searched to find an answer... and the one that got me was (paraphrasing),

"Hey, I know this sounds dumb. But do you have a wifi switch maybe? Is it an HP?"

And it all clicked... along with the issue, as soon as I toggled the switch. A lesson was learned that day lol

I spent some hours trying to fix my wifi that had suddenly stopped working on my laptop. It was very confusing and I just didn't understand

There was a wifi button you could toggle with a function key... it was me

What's too wiggly?

Can you give me the recipe for an attractive lasagna?

Kinda reminds me of one of the first towns in Resident Evil 4. Looks good!

The tired, hungry, and poor?

K... Thanks. Truly Truly

Edit: have a good day my friend. You'r doing great. Seriously.

Smooooth...

Thank you

You offered two loaded options that "seemed apparent" to you, without acknowledging (and/or understanding) anything I actually said. You read whatever you wanted to hear apparently, and then re-addressed me with even more volatility. You tried to leave me with the options of "agree with me" or "disagree and be wrong"... cornering the conversation as opposed to actually intending to understand

What would you like to hear so that you feel vindicated and whole? How far down the rabbit hole do we need to go before understanding this entire conversation is now meaninglessly entangled; we're apparently just misunderstanding each other

"Go team". People are inherently geared towards black/white, group thinking, us and them; we're social creatures. I considered OP's meme to be unfortunately divisive, regardless of "how true" it is. Underlying truth underlies overlying generalizations, and really takes away from the interpersonal place we all share. Division is a cheap way to find acceptance amongst the group you wish to receive acceptance from

If you're actually interested in continuing, I have the time unfortunately. If you're just trolling, no matter; something may be gained from our conversation by someone else. So where does or misunderstanding lie?

"Go team" means people tend to create sides to choose from, out of some kind of nature or comfortability... but it can become unnecessarily divisive when the "sides" are arbitrary and narrow to begin with. But that's a lot to say when sometimes less is more, and I'm just commenting about a meme. I'm sorry if that upset you or you took it differently than intended... whatever you read wasn't what I meant, it seems. And I feel like you already know that, but fuck it, I'ma give you the benefit of the doubt

What else do we have to talk about? Sorry mate, there's really no mountain to build here outta this mole-hill
