I do feel bad for the Japanese, nobody knows anything about France so what are you supposed to make fun of?
“Let’s target some tropes in world famous French tv shows” ????
“Oh so the guy who made real plans for a date did better than the wishy washy guys?”
“No, he also got rejected.”
the last person who asked me out did it like this: "we should grab food sometime lol no pressure." i said that month was kind of busy. they replied "all good!!" in under a minute, two exclamation points, and liked my story the next morning like nothing happened
i used to read that as confidence. mostly it meant there was nothing on the line
"sometime" is not a day. "lol" is an exit built right into the invitation. half the asks i get are worded so a no can be filed as a misunderstanding and both of us get to pretend it was a joke
he's gone the second you say no. he packed before he knocked
i don't even blame them that much. you can get turned down eleven times a week on hinge without getting out of bed, and after a year of that you stop putting anything on the table you'd actually miss
a coworker asked someone out properly last spring. thursday, 7pm, a taco place on 5th he'd already looked up. she said no. he said "okay, thanks for being straight with me" and dropped it, zero chasing. she still told three people about it by friday, because nobody had asked her like that in years
when people say men give up too fast, look at what they offered before the no. a "lol no pressure" got exactly the answer it was built for
when's the last time someone asked you out with an actual day and time?
The reason to follow the safety rules always all the time is so you form the habit of safely handling firearms. If you instead form the habit of breaking rules when the gun is safe you'll end up shooting someone because you "thought it was safe."

“Rational markets means that literally everything a business does is efficient and rational.”
Because in Japan the honorable thing is to solve a problem that has or potentially could happen. Whereas most other cultures see fixing a problem as admitting to it which is more embarrassing than just letting it continue. This is why Japan is noticeably more functional.
There’s also something that 2D slows you down forcing you to think over each choice you’ve made
To a certain extent the Bible says the same that to die for someone is a demonstration of love but the point Romans 6-8 is making is that Christ did this for sinners, not just the "at least one person" you love but for everyone.
Ok but would you die for people you hated? Because Jesus died for every individual person and "I'd do the same for people I loved" is a pretty big caveat on the part of those who think they'd do the same.
going thru diaries from when i was struggling with my Christian faith. It seems even from a very young age, I was confused that Jesus's sacrifice was supposed to be such a big deal. I find multiple entries across the years with variations on "Obviously any of us would do that for someone we loved, it kinda seems like Jesus just hitting the bare minimum"
BG3 figured out that if you just convince libs that your woke from the get go then they'll let you do anything after that.
"look you can have sex with a bear"
"wow your so brave and woke"
"anyway here's all the lingerie you can have the female characters wear"
"yass queeen!"
People keep pointing out content like the bear sex scene as an example of the BG3 being woke... but I interpreted that scene as just something crazy you can do within the boundaries of the game rules, like a real d&d session, it's not like the character sits down with you an explains what zoophilia is in those exact terms and how his family doesn't accept him for it and you have to hit A to Affirm, which is essentially what Veilguard does with the nonbinary content
Traffic measures are always confounded by latent demand. That is, adding a new rail line doesn’t improve traffic because it’s taken up by people who wanted to travel to the city but didn’t because the trains were too crowded before.
The Street Fighter movie had animated sections and it legitimately felt like this comic playing out in the same movie.
The live action ultimately didn’t believe in itself which hurt the movie a lot because there’s nothing more fun than a silly story that takes itself 100% seriously.
