    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Same exact thing happened to friends of mine who moved a few weeks back. Luckily they were able to find another same day. Could have really made things sketchy if they hadn’t, they had to be out of their house by the next day.

    I think most kids growing up in the southeast were told to do this also. At least I was.

    Yeah. Sounds right. I was asking my coworker with two young boys around the same age and he said when I put on the “Batman voice” they stop immediately because they know punishment is coming.

    She’s told me a couple of times he sometimes “bullies” her and despite her being harsh in punishment with him he just doesn’t back off. Like he’s not afraid of her or something. I saw him slap her face once and she (lightly) slapped his face back and yanked him by the ear down to a seated...

    I just spent 8 hours with the girlfriend and her son (he just turned four a couple weeks back.) First off, it’s great fun. The kid can be a total pain in the ass but the time always passes by so fast with him. We went to lunch, came back to my place, he took a nap briefly so we all kind of...

    It’s good you went through with it. I don’t have all the details obviously, but it seems rather lazy on her part that she said she still has “feelings of resentment.” She still seemed to be deflecting. Which even further reinforces you made the right choice.

    Oh I got bored of that like a month later. I haven’t done that shit in a year. It was making around $100 a month as I recall not counting power usage.

    I’ve been in this position before as the person who was unwilling to talk more deeply on relationship matters. I was in that position for two years. She would occasionally ask me to talk about making things progress further and I’d say yep we’re gonna do that some day or make up some kind of...

    My memory of Bionic Commando: Had it when it was new as a kid on NES. I sucked at NES games, couldn’t beat 75 percent of them aside from RPGs. I’d just get pissed off and throw the controller around. Never could beat it likewise. I remember being 17-18 years old and randomly plugging in my NES...

    We went to one in Fremont, or near Fremont. I see they’re in San Jose and Dublin as well.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The one woman’s 12 year old daughter who spoke Chinese and fluent English just kept saying “please kill me” and kept hilariously commenting on the songs. Most of them unsurprisingly were maudlin love songs with like three upbeat songs at best. She was like “why are these people all so depressed.”

    This is different…I think it’s something that originated in Korea or Japan. Definitely popular with Asians. Google private karaoke room. Basically imagine a hallway with lots of rooms. Each one inside has a couch or couches, a TV, wireless mics, and a karaoke system. And you can press a button...

    I haven’t bought or sold any crypto since May of last year. Still have 80,000 TrueBit, a few tens of thousands of MATIC, and 8-10 Ethereum or something like that. I don’t even remember anymore.

    It was fine. One of her friends insisted on paying for lunch for everyone, which was over $200. So I insisted on paying for karaoke. It was $140 for two hours. No big deal but I had no idea it was that much to rent a lil karaoke room. 😜

    I’m currently eating lunch with three Chinese women including the girlfriend and one of their daughters who is like 12. She’s the only one that speaks fluent English. For a solid 8 minutes they kept pointing at me while the kid occasionally translated questions for me. This included lots of...

    I barely even play games at all anymore. But I finally powered through the beginning of this into the part where Keanu comes in and it got way more interesting. Seems like a lot of bugs are fixed on PC.

    The point being, rural China is helluva lot safer than most of rural Latin areas. Only downside is probably a lack of good emergency services, but whatever. I’ve been to Cuba and the Caribbean before. I wouldn’t go too far off the grid there. Havana felt incredibly safe. Rural China is orders...

    - socioeconomics of her family doesn’t matter - marriage has nothing to do with just visiting them and they’d probably be insulted if we *were* married without meeting first - hostile country. 😂 I’ve traveled a ton, this is fine and would be fun just on regular travel merits - It’s China, not...

    Two things: One, she started her period two days ago. So we’re clear there - I knew it was coming up soon which is why I wasn’t particularly worried, very low rate of possible pregnancy at that juncture. Second, she brought up this morning when she goes back to China for the first time in five...

    I don’t disagree in theory, but every situation is different. I know a lot of people who have moved in together and got married after 1-2 years successfully. I have “essentially” lived with two women before after about that time. I mean this in the sense that we were together 5-6-7 days a week...

    I swear I remember buying some Bitcoin as a novelty in 2011-2012 era too and last year I tried to find evidence of it, but nada. I could be making it up in my head. Wouldn’t have been more than $10-100 worth. If I had a wallet for it, it would have been lost a loooong time ago on a variety of...

    Oh thank god it wasn’t that MLTR song. Actually she was playing some guzheng music on Friday night when we were going to sleep, which I dig. This, uh, incident…occurred with no music in the AM.

    Naww, not soon at least. If things keep progressing I could *see* it in the future but we’re both on the same page. We’re not rushing into even living together let alone getting married. We both acknowledge that yes, we are good together and things are all rainbows and kittens but we have enough...

    Wedding weekend in Napa was nice. Lots of sleeping together, pictures, meeting friends, unhealthy food, and talking. We’re now talking about moving in together *next year* if things continue the way they are. Talking like a few months into 2023…so that would be going on 1.5 years of knowing each...

    Her family lives in China so I think I’ll escape that at least! She does do karaoke with girlfriends though, which I feel like I’m going to get roped into sooner or later. It’s usually a rare girls only night for her. Most of her friends are married and doing karaoke nights with no men is their...
