The best fifteen years of my life started with a simple crush. I took that fearsom, potentially embarrassing first step and holy shit, the crush just happened to be mutual. She was in the same spot I was- what if she approached me and I didn’t like her. Long story short, our 16th wedding anniversay is August 23rd.
Relating to this entirely. Found myself with a little crush of my own, someone I don`t really know outside of a few fragmented interactions but that there`s just something magnetic about. Was in the same boat as you justifying messaging her and then actually keeping a conversation. I`m not terrible, at conversation with people I know or if there`s a clear way for the conversation to go or something to address but the small talk, getting to know you, coming out of nowhere conversations...not my best arena. I`m nervous, my social skills may not be the best, I overthink, ramble on about things, its not pretty. I had a fair bit of courage one day (probably linked to the job and other things coming together) and knew we had similar taste in television and started with that. That went alright until I didn`t really know where to take any further conversation and started to overthink with anxious I`m being annoying, she's not interested, thinks I`m a weirdo and etc thoughts. Floundered around a bit and then had another good conversation...in which I found out that they are not quite romanticly available. Which is fine, hell might even want to just continue trying to forge a friendship. Proper friendship, not the cliche "she`ll love me one day." friendship. Just think they seem like a cool person and in the very least someone to discuss tv with. Thing is I don`t even know how I do about doing that, my entire approach to life so far has been flailing my arms around to see what happens, trying to break that habit but the social arena might be the hardest place to do that. Just gotta see what happens like most of life I guess. Well that was my most recent crush journey, I wish you slightly better luck on you`rs and totally recognize the overwhelming overthinking. Maybe just see what happens and where things go, life can be funny. Best of luck you lovestruck fool.
Fucking Quora. It's like someone took Wikipedia, Wikihow, and WebMd, removed all the controls and accountability, and bribed the folks at Google to put it at the top of every search ever. I wish there was a way to block google from returning certain sites in a search. Wonder if there's an extension for that?
Its offical the regulator on the oven is completely shot. Tried to do some baking tonight, kept a close eye on it, at a low tempt, and the tops looked ok. Still turned out to be burnt.
Does that go before or after a working kitchen sink on the "fix it" list? Think i need a sugar daddy.
You could also use a 5 dollar oven thermometer to monitor the temperature until you have the time/energy/money to do something more permanent about it.
I don't even know what Quora does. It keeps appearing from searched links but in the UK it has to ask whether we are ok with it planting all sorts of tracking cookies and harvesting IP address, Mac Address, cat's middle name etc. with no option to say "no, I am not OK with that" so it gets the fat finger from me. I think that extension is called "living in China" where, I am lead to understand, nasty sites which may make you think un-Chinese thoughts are routinely filtered out of search results. Duck Duck Go provides a more "organic" search. For now.
there is if you use chrome https://www.online-tech-tips.com/google-softwaretips/block-certain-websites-google-search-results/
Yeah probably will do that, one. ...if anybody happens to go out and make that extension plese name it dot.orgasm. ... That may allready be the name of a very different extension.
A rough transcription of my thoughts while on Facebook: Do it! Just message her! It doesn't matter if she's online; she'll see it and she'll know you want to talk to her. OK, I'm going to do it. Crafting message... OK. BUT I CAN'T! Just do it! I CAN'T DO IT! I CAAAAAAAAAAAAN'T! Edit: I did it. Edit 2: OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE? OK, I'm going to stop sharing my spiralling with you all. Have a nice day.
OHMYGOD! There seems to be a problem with one of the sixteen tickets I never booked, I'd better give them my credit card number just to be sure...
There’s your ticket to fame and fortune. Just like the guy who wrote the code for an app that blocks all mention of the Kardashians from your news feed.
What! You mean to tell me you don't book all 16 of those flights. You're missing out man. I think on everything, because I'm an idiot. LOL Seriously though that's funny.
Nah, Dieselpunk is more punk than Steampunk is, with the emphasis on casualties and things looking dirty. Steampunk largely ignores the children working in factories and rampant empire building so it can stick gears on top hats.
Moved this from TMW, because it's incredibly First World Whingey in nature. I'd invested a lot of time and effort to keep a Sim at University at a 4.0 GPA all four years...and then he gets a C in his final exams, bringing his GPA down to 3.8! The only thing I can figure is that he didn't go to his last exam, though IDK why. This annoyed me probably a lot more than it should've done.
