I don't know if you would call ~~Hobbits~~ Halflings monster races but they are my favorite. I love the way Eberron did them with their mark of hospitability so they have special magic to make everywhere more comfortable and good things just happen to them. I love how they just took the fearlessness and everything good from Kinder and just wrapped it into regular ~~hobbits~~ halfings.

If a dragon is looking down on us magic less short lived specifies as trash what is the point? I want my dragons innately magical in strange ways, clever and older. I enjoy a rampaging dragon but even better if they are doing it on purpose

I love the classic elves and dwarves as fantasy races. They don't give a shit about our human centric concepts of gender roles. Dwarf women have large beautiful beards and elf men wear long flowy clothing with their long scented hair.

  1. Original is better. Also watch it in the original German with subtitles like all foreign films

Exactly. Defunding will remove everything else that Planned Parenthood already does which ironically will driving back up the abortion rate.

People with political incentive to make the government to look bad are actively trying to make the government helpful response worse. I hope people are seeing how dangerous Trump and these right wing nutjobs are to normal people and normal Republicans

Also federal money cannot be used to fund anything related to abortion at Planned Parenthood due to federal law already.

Life is messy and boundaries blur. Boundaries in relationships aren't static things and can change. Just keep talking and it and it's will be fine. You might not get exactly what you want but it will be better in the long run

This is a great point that making a plan to stay friends can work and morph a relationship. It's not the same but nothing stays the same.

Having mixed gendered friends isn't that weird even those you might have hooked up with. What do you think highschool is?

Be honest and make sure the friend is on the same page.

I agreed with you until the last paragraph.

This really isn't that complex except it doesn't fit the standard dominant heteronormative story for dating. Those stories where your eyes met across the bar and you fall in love with your new partner instantly. You either then stay together forever in the "success" story or fall apart in a dramatic fashion and never see each other again for a "failure" story. This isn't common and real life is more messy for these "failures". Just note that most people leave out the mess when telling their romantic "success" stories. I dated / hooked up with lots of my wives friends before we are started dating and so did she.

You had your best friend / roommate were / are a "failure" in this model but a success in real life. You made a real friendship out of failed dates and romantic relationship. That's a success.

Just be upfront and honest with everyone. Make sure your roommate / best friend agrees that you don't have a romantic future but rather what you currently have. Tell your future dates a simplified story about your roommate upfront and everyone will be cool. You got this
