I've never seen any of the Hunger Games movies. It just doesn't seem that interesting to me. And I'm vaguely annoyed at the wave of dystopias it's kicked off, although I suppose that's better than Twilight ripoffs.
I saw her the next day because I was like, hey, can we talk about this (she broke up with me rather than moving in)
I mean, it was probably the wrong thing to do, because I think I wanted answers that I either wasn't able to understand or she couldn't give
But yeah
That was fucked up.
Don't break up by text
I mean, well, most of the time.
Some times people can't handle it, and you need to do it over text so they don't explode in person.
wanting to talk to someone who broke up with you to like
further understand it
that can be reasonable, especially if they were super brusque about it
so long as you are still accepting that the break-up happened
you might be hoping you can salvage things, and that's human and natural
flat out refusing to be broken up with is super weird, though
Agreed.
I mean, I generally don't think that if you've spent most of the previous day openly weeping then you probably aren't going to be in the right place to understand why the break up happened.
To this day I kind of speculate about it, but that's okay.
Sometimes you don't get to know why a relationship ended.
And that's life.

They do themselves a disservice by focusing the lens so tightly and featuring something as hamfisted as the Games themselves, really
But, it's YA fiction, after all
It's important to be very explicit when identifying who is the villain
The correct answer to break ups is to sever all contact immediately. Cancel accounts. Block on Facebook. The works.
You think you don't need to do this, but that's because TV has lied to you and implied that it's totally normal for people who break up to still be around each other. But it isn't. It will feel weird, and you shouldn't do it.
real talk narwhal has anyone given you shit yet for being a homeless guy on a cellphone yet
or do they not see you as a homeless guy
That's the thing, right
Hobo with a tablet? The hell?
So security guards are confused by the obviously successful guy sleeping in a doorway
Other homeless people don't identify me as one of them and just ask me for money all day
Like yeah, I could get 1, maybe 2 nights in a hostel for the value of this tablet
But in terms of information, contact and entertainment, this thing is invaluable
yeah, that's a thing people don't get about poverty
you have to start thinking short vs. long term
when i was right on the brink, before my disability assistance kicked in, some lady from welfare came to my apartment, which i was barely affording (and rent was basically like 90% of my welfare cheque, leaving me almost no money for food and i was literally going days without eating and taking painkillers to deal with it)
and was like, well, you have a laptop, and an xbox, you could sell those, they're worth money
do you really need those things
i'm like, i will get maybe $50 for the Xbox, tops, and it's unlikely i will get that in cash, if I go to a pawn shop I will likely get $25 in cash, if I go to an electronics store they'll give me $50 but in store credit, I can't eat $50 in store credit
laptop it's probably like, maybe a few hundred, but it's a similar issue. the most money i'd get for it would be a place that'd give it to me in credit, and the problem is i gotta eat, and even then it's less than a month's groceries? tops.
and what i am losing in return is internet access, which is huge, and my primary way of keeping myself sane and connected to people during this time in my life. it is also a loss i will not be able to recover from for the forseeable future. i am likely to be impoverished for a long time, and thus for the benefit of less than a month's worth of groceries (which i can sometimes get from the food bank for free, which is what i have been doing to not die) i would lose something that is effectively irreplaceable.
same goes for my clothes and a lot of my other material possessions
this is something a lot of people don't understand about poverty
it's like, they want you to show you're trying not to be poor anymore... by essentially nuking your ability to get your shit together once the current crisis is passed? what

marvel yo
transformers is eating marvel for lunch in china afaik
China has just realized that they're a big place and movies should be set there.
The latest Transformers is set in Hong Kong isn't it?
I can't say it's a trend I'm against either. It's really nice to have cities other then New York get blow'd up in movies.
marvel are also ahead on this
iron man 3 has a whole scene filmed specifically for china where iron man goes to china and does china stuff
its derpy as shit but that is life
IM 3 had Tony
there for a minute for surgery and a Chinese doctor character appear in the beginning and end for ten seconds total. I was disappointed we didn't see some insane shit in China.
Chinese version of the movie was different, actually. That character had an expanded role and more lines.
Not that much different. Well, they did make the movie a 2 hour commercial for an energy drink.

You think you don't need to do this, but that's because TV has lied to you and implied that it's totally normal for people who break up to still be around each other. But it isn't. It will feel weird, and you shouldn't do it.
years ago, i met a woman and we dated for like a year. it was a long distance thing, she lived across the country from me, so it was tricky. we saw each other about twice after we first got together; once when she came to visit me, and once when i went to visit her.
in the end, things were sorta in a difficult place for both of us, in terms of where our lives were at. things really couldn't continue like they were, the long distance thing wasn't going to work out, and neither of us was really in a place with our lives where it was going to be a smart idea to move across the country to be with the other
so she decided to break up with me, but her options to do so were: 1. fly across the country to break up with me, 2. have me fly across the country to be broken up with, 3. call me and break up with me over the phone, 4. break up with me over email (break up with me over text wasn't an option because back in those days I still rocked a pager instead of a cellphone), 5. send me a letter in the mail.
so she chose option 4 because it would let her be the most clear, complete, and fair about all the reasons and also allow her to do it without like, either one of us bursting into tears. she sent me the email. I read it, wrote a reply back explaining that i understood and told her i was happy for the time we had together and the way she enriched my life, and we talked on the phone for a bit and had an amicable parting.
we went our separate ways for two years but stayed friends, still talked online periodically, and shared the same mutual friends circle. we still saw each other at some events and stuff, chit-chatted and stuff. we both saw other people in the intervening time (in my case, this was disastrous, but that's neither here nor there)
then we got back together after those two years, and she moved across the country to be with me, and we lived together for five years.
we got married a few months ago
so
yeah

There is no one way to handle a breakup.
Jacob, I meant to type up something about Gencon and left the Jacob-signal in my drafts. Sorry.
that story is also why i have to keep my mouth shut every time someone has a bad break up with someone they're completely in love with and they're still hoping they'll get back together and people are telling them to let it go and that it will never happen and that doesn't happen in real life because really, at that time, that is what that person needs to hear to get over it.
They do not need my dumb ass saying "Well, actually, if you give it a couple years, you might actually get back together with them, you never know. My wife and I broke up for a few years and got back together and we've been together for over five years now and it's the best thing in my entire life. Just sayin', bro."
microwaves and internet access sit in a bizarre vacuum that exists because the bourgeois left takes them for granted when they ask for subsidies to healthcare and education. one often hears the argument that it's all just plastic consumer crap from china, a real radical advocates worker empowerment via organic produce and home gardens in every lot, never mind that this is ridiculously untenable for people who cannot organize a budget never mind a garden
the early 20th century equivalent is piped running water and electrification to all households, which is likewise not, strictly speaking, necessary for living, but it achieves certain elite social goals to pursue mass ownership. but the shift from the old left to the new left seems to have shifted this kind of perspective to a middle-class narrative of empowerment, which unsurprisingly mutates into a narrative of personal responsibility

I mean, I generally don't think that if you've spent most of the previous day openly weeping then you probably aren't going to be in the right place to understand why the break up happened.
To this day I kind of speculate about it, but that's okay.
Sometimes you don't get to know why a relationship ended.

maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
ThunderMuscle!
and what if, hypothetically, this happened three days after they were struck by a vehicle
would that be bad
(hypothetically)
breakups ignore all schedules and life events
Enough for like 2 weeks in a hostel
But also I could never change my underwear
You know
The little things
only a couple times
years ago, i met a woman and we dated for like a year. it was a long distance thing, she lived across the country from me, so it was tricky. we saw each other about twice after we first got together; once when she came to visit me, and once when i went to visit her.
in the end, things were sorta in a difficult place for both of us, in terms of where our lives were at. things really couldn't continue like they were, the long distance thing wasn't going to work out, and neither of us was really in a place with our lives where it was going to be a smart idea to move across the country to be with the other
so she decided to break up with me, but her options to do so were: 1. fly across the country to break up with me, 2. have me fly across the country to be broken up with, 3. call me and break up with me over the phone, 4. break up with me over email (break up with me over text wasn't an option because back in those days I still rocked a pager instead of a cellphone), 5. send me a letter in the mail.
so she chose option 4 because it would let her be the most clear, complete, and fair about all the reasons and also allow her to do it without like, either one of us bursting into tears. she sent me the email. I read it, wrote a reply back explaining that i understood and told her i was happy for the time we had together and the way she enriched my life, and we talked on the phone for a bit and had an amicable parting.
we went our separate ways for two years but stayed friends, still talked online periodically, and shared the same mutual friends circle. we still saw each other at some events and stuff, chit-chatted and stuff. we both saw other people in the intervening time (in my case, this was disastrous, but that's neither here nor there)
then we got back together after those two years, and she moved across the country to be with me, and we lived together for five years.
we got married a few months ago
so
yeah
Only if you were the one to hit her with the hypothetical vehicle.
It’s not a very important country most of the time

You're joking, right?
I mean yes, you should probably take a breather after a breakup, but blocking and cancelling? Only if they are people you should have broke up with a long time ago.

There is no one way to handle a breakup.
Jacob, I meant to type up something about Gencon and left the Jacob-signal in my drafts. Sorry.
They do not need my dumb ass saying "Well, actually, if you give it a couple years, you might actually get back together with them, you never know. My wife and I broke up for a few years and got back together and we've been together for over five years now and it's the best thing in my entire life. Just sayin', bro."
the early 20th century equivalent is piped running water and electrification to all households, which is likewise not, strictly speaking, necessary for living, but it achieves certain elite social goals to pursue mass ownership. but the shift from the old left to the new left seems to have shifted this kind of perspective to a middle-class narrative of empowerment, which unsurprisingly mutates into a narrative of personal responsibility
but come on
Let's take this to the logical extension here
You don't really need 2 kidneys, do you? Plenty of people get by fine with just one!
Yeah -- a friend got a letter from his ex the week after he broke with her about how in the following week her mom had gotten sick and her car caught fire or something but Jesus loves him. There were many schadenfreude Lols which were maybe overly mean-spirited and I feel a bit bad about but shit happens

I don't even have two fully-functioning kidneys!
@Variable 3. That was good times; I should visit NYC again. Maybe Eddy should have a party at his parents', at a convenient time for me. When is their next vacation?
