Yeah, I'm a longtime Borderlands fan who follows what's going on with the franchise, and Randy just acts like a child who inherited a video game company. He usually says this dumb shit with a smile on his face, so I think he's intending it to be in good fun, but it just does not come across that way.

Probably not "used" as in victimized. I think they were giving you a chance.

Sounds like she liked you, and wanted to see if being in a relationship would cause her to develop romantic feelings.

It didn't, so, there was no point in pretending.

Sounds like you two weren't really compatible, and you both learned a little from the experience. I say, no harm, no foul.

Thanks for the assist!

No, I do. I guess I just didn't get the joke.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

Your honesty is respectable.

Nah, you don't want to freeze it. Just get some airtight containers.

Nah, that's just Devito.

The used condom is an object, you could burn it and it wouldn’t harm the guy in any way.

I did not claim that the condom was the victim in any way. I also have no problem with burning used condoms. Kinda weird, but I'm not here to kink shame.

And, having sex without a condom COULD harm the guy. He could pick up an STD in addition to being responsible for an unintended pregnancy.

When someone says yes to protected sex, that means that they have said NO to unprotected sex, until they explicitly say otherwise. Sex without consent is rape.

Calling any bad behavior related to sex “rape” is doing a disservice to people who were actually raped.

And I would argue that you are doing THESE people who WERE actually raped a larger disservice by saying they weren't raped enough to deserve the right to say that they were raped.

Do we really need people gatekeeping rape?

That's what I'm thinking. That's like buying buttermilk and complaining that there's only half a stick of butter in it after you strain it!

Yeah, I get how it's related, but what you said doesn't answer the question, and at any given time on any given topic, half the Internet is just stupid and wrong, so, that doesn't actually mean anything at all.

Wait till you hear about how doctors hate this local grandma for one surprising reason!

Maybe? I don't know about that. Not sure how it's relevant here.

 

Great news everyone! I've just been offered a position to remotely train an AI and I can make up to $6000 a day!

Yeah, right.

I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone who randomly instant messaged me. I like to play dumb with these people and then occasionally throw some obscure questions at them and watch them squirm, or just toss subtle insults in my replies.

Anyone else get a kick out of messing with these scammers? Any particular shenanigans you like to throw at them, out any good stories that have come from it?

 

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that's when I was born. "No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission."

If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don't. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn't trust anything else they do.

 

He needs some extra hands to pick up a snowblower. We haven't really talked in years. It'll be nice to catch up.

Just a thought that crossed my mind today.

If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?

Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?

Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."

Just wondering what the rest of feel.

EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.

I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable. Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

The Pastor of Muppets is coming your way!

 

Kind of a shower thought, and maybe it's just how I run campaigns, but it feels like there's a lot of parallels between DMing and that guy who has a great idea for a book/movie but will never write a single page.

The DM comes up with "So what if there's this guy with this magic power, and the only way to beat him is through a very specific process." And then all the Players decide: who are the characters? What do they do? What do they say? How's it all work out?

 

My wife put in a pickup order at Sam's Club, so while we were up there, we got supper at the Chinese buffet!

 

Corporate America has programmed people to HUSTLE! BE THE BEST! ACHIEVE! MAKE MORE MONEY!!! for so long that they now need to pay someone to come and teach us how to relax, enjoy the moment and be happy again.

 

I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!

Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.

 

Make-up and KISS!

 

This one's for JusticeforPorygon!
