Milo being disinvited is a pretty amazing display of Republican doublethink at work.
Milo is a hatemonger who doxxes and harasses people and incites violence on purpose (both from his supporters and his opponents) to improve his own "brand", but the alt-right defend the guy as a "free speech crusader".
Even though his homosexuality makes them uncomfortable, and Republicans think he's a barely tolerable queer. He's an effective weapon against their enemies, even if he doesn't realize he'll be first on the train when he's no longer useful.
He's Saren, insisting if he only allies with and serves the Reapers, they'll find a place for him and won't destroy him.
But the pedophilia thing confirms what all those cats want to believe about homosexuals, and it's the bridge too far. He might be able to recover from this if he successfully sacrifices a prominent feminist on their altar or something to get in their good graces, but he might be done with enjoying support from a lot of the Right now.
My stance is "if I ask you to do something" I'll be the one that offers to pay. I expect the lady to pay if she asks to do something.
I mean, I would prefer to go dutch on 100% of things, but I am not going to do the back and forth thing more than once about "oh no really, it's no big deal, I'll pay".

I think he does realize he'll be first on the train when he's no longer useful, but he's getting rich right now and that overrides everything else including any sense of empathy or morality
I think it's just the patriarchy sinking in, but I was always very wary of "owing" a guy anything after a date
some guys think like that, and it's awful
at the very least, ask if you can pay for X for her, that takes some of the "now you owe me a favor" sting out it
the approach of "you can get the next one" works too because it signals more equality
yeah, I would immediately counter an offer to pay (from someone I invited out) with something along the lines of "well how about we figure out a place to grab dinner after this and you can get that so we're even?"
especially since the $40 entry is way more (probably) than I would ever spend at dinner (for just myself)

I guess I never associated dating with debt and sex. Like everytime I was dating someone and we had sex it was literally like hey you want to come over to my house?
I guess I never closed the deal over surf and turf? Always seamed a bit scummy to me. "You ate that blooming onion and had a fillet you owe me a life debt"
@Atomika why do you continue to hurt yourself by checking in on what's happening with Milo Y?
Is he really that consequential? Is your life better because you know a new thing about his career?
He's the top news story right now. It's not necessarily on purpose
And yet I have not heard about it... whose news consumption pattern is more successful? An hour of NPR and my google cards did not inflict this nonsense on me!
The thing I worry about is eating alone at a restaurant and they say "just sit anywhere someone will be with you" and you try not to be the jerk that takes up a whole booth so you pick one of the small tables in the corner for people like you.

yes, women experience this type of stuff (I could say rape culture but it's more like patriarchy and historical social norms rooted in patriarchy) differently than men.

man I'd love to date a girl that even offered to pay for dinner once in a while
this is normal these days
at least in my recent dating experiences
hence me being put off by a lady expecting me to front 100% on a first date
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

The whole "if I put nice feelings and praise in, I'll be good boyfriend material" sort of mentality plays into it with regards to "nice guys" too.

And I am totally cool with going dutch; I just don't assume it unless we talk about it first.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...

Also this is just in general, not necessarily for a dating situation, though I would treat them the same.
...god it's been so long since I went on a date ;-;
it's worked well so far
My stance is "if I ask you to do something" I'll be the one that offers to pay. I expect the lady to pay if she asks to do something.
I mean, I would prefer to go dutch on 100% of things, but I am not going to do the back and forth thing more than once about "oh no really, it's no big deal, I'll pay".
Oh god. I would never think that.
I would just want to pay cause I don't want to appear as cheap as Ludious thinks I am. Seems more classy to me.
He's the top news story right now. It's not necessarily on purpose
and agency! but whatever, that's just my take
I think he does realize he'll be first on the train when he's no longer useful, but he's getting rich right now and that overrides everything else including any sense of empathy or morality

Of course not, you are not that dude.
Before a girl gets to know you though, you totally could be that dude.

He's getting harder to avoid
He is super anti trans and has doxxed and called for violence of trans women
It is maybe more mentally sound to try to avoid him, but its also...kinda useful knowledge to see what these ttpes are up to
And yet I have not heard about it... whose news consumption pattern is more successful? An hour of NPR and my google cards did not inflict this nonsense on me!
so long as you are an hour or less from home base and dont have to worry about drunk driving yes its an awesome date
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
no one is all "woah, they're so classy" after a date
if they're the type of person to take umbrage with you not paying for everything, fuck 'em
It's a thing with toxic masculinity and redpillers, unfortunately.
If looks could kill
You'd be lying on the floor
You'd be begging me please please
Baby don't hurt me no more :whistle:
it was just one of the things that popped on my news feed
but I understand your point about me unduly putting myself through news-based stress
there's a lot of money to be made being the minority, or social minority in the case of women, who shares bigoted and ignorant views
see also: anne coulter, allen west, etc

b-b-but the Obamas
maybe not after your dates
There's always sprechers brewery which has root beer and regular beer
god dammit lud
as a child my entire fridge was these (well the older style ones)
this is normal these days
at least in my recent dating experiences
hence me being put off by a lady expecting me to front 100% on a first date
