Also this ^^^ Communication is everything, this cannot be overstated.
I've been on the "answering" side of this multiple times in my own relationship. First of all, before I say anything this is all just my perspective on things. So I'll just break this down. I'll answer some of these questions with the following information: You trust this person, care about them, etc. So with that in mind. Could he be lying to you? In many cases I find that its better to actually ask a question that makes a little more sense. Such as: "What reason would he have to lie to you?". Assuming you two are both open with each other, and by extension rely on each other when it comes to sharing personal stuff/venting. Then he has no reason to lie to you. Relationships work both ways. You help each other in a sense. Like ask yourself this: "Am I lying to him?". Assuming the answer is no (which it probably is) then all you have to do is ask why. All of your answers will most likely apply to this person as well. Is he going behind your back? To do what exactly? Now I am not going to ignore the fact that there are some bad people out there who may cheat/do other things to hurt people, but if you really know this person (which you probably do) you can yet again ask. Why would he even want to cheat on you? A common point when answering that question usually leads to some self confidence issues. Like "I am not good enough so he will find somebody else", but (and I am not saying this is how you think, it is just an example) that is most likely not how you think. I adore my girlfriend, and nothing she says about herself will ever change that. I am sure he feels the same way. Does he actually like me? Assuming this person is "good" and whatnot, which I am sure he is. Why would he pretend to like someone? I mean good lord, faking a relationship actually seems harder than having a real one, and if someone was faking such a thing, you would assume the truth would eventually come to the surface. Which would be a gigantic waste of time for both parties, and almost nothing would be gained from either side. Now don't get me wrong, I don't blame you for having doubts. It is perfectly natural, and I am also not saying you should marry this person because they are an angel sent down especially for you. Only time will tell if these things work out, but I can tell you this. If you are too caught up on the "what ifs" you will actually miss a lot of opportunities to grow your bond with this person. I am sure you will be able to work through your doubts and just see how things go in the future. I will say this though, don't make the mistake of "hiding in your shell" forever, because there is a lot of cool stuff you will miss out on along the way :D
(I promise this is related) But what baffles me is that people are still pushing for earlier and earlier release dates. Have you guys not seen some of the abysmal releases this generation? At least to me (and it is only an opinion) I would rather have these guys do it right, and have it take a while.
A while ago, I posted a thread about my grandmother not doing so well. Unsurprisingly enough, she is doing worse. However that is not the topic of this thread. What, or rather who I want to talk about right now is actually my uncle. Obviously I will keep him "anonymous" in this case as I don't want this to seem "witch hunty". Throughout my uncle's lifetime he has asked a lot from my grandparent's in terms of financial help. This has given him quite the easy life (in combination with the money he got from his careers and such). However these were not exactly what you would call "loans" as when it comes to my uncle, he doesn't really give things back. Of course, to an extent my grandparents are sort of to blame, because they could have easily said no and had the option to stop at any time. Unfortunately however, this has added up to well over 100,000 dollars worth of checks written, as well as a reverse mortgage done on my grandmother's house. Now as she is getting worse on a daily basis, she is living in a nursing home. 24 hour care is her new baseline. This is something that nobody in our family can provide for her. We are not a nursing home, or a skilled team who is qualified to take care of her. Not because we don't want to, it's just we are unable to give her the quality of care that she needs at this point. Sadly we found out that medicare is only willing to fully cover 20 days at the nursing home she is currently staying at. After that, days 21-100 will only be partially covered. This is where the trouble comes in. My family is by no means super wealthy (by "my family" I mean my mom, dad, sister, etc) which means that not only does my grandmother not have the money to pay for days 21-100, but my family does not either. The only people at this point in time who are capable of spending the money to take care of her is my uncle (who is currently quite wealthy, and will only get wealthier as he took out a fairly large life insurance policy on my grandmother as well) and myself. I am by no means rich, but I do have money saved for college/future stuff so when it comes down to it. I will most likely be paying for her care. I have no problem with this, I would do anything for my family. The reason I am posting this in the "help with life section" is because my uncle has put himself in such a position where he is living off of my grandmother's house until she dies (because we must sell it once she is gone, due to the reverse mortgage), using her car, not paying for anything she needs help with, and will ultimately make even more money off of her sickness/death. All the while he has admitted to sending a semi significant amount of money to his "girlfriend" in Florida on a monthly basis. Aside from beating his face into the next century (which I would love to do, but won't because I know that isn't right / I don't like jail). I have no idea what to do when it comes to my uncle. I help wherever I can, but in terms of paperwork and organizing everything, my mother has been doing most of that work, and at the rate her mental state has been declining due to stress I am also extremely worried about her. I know there is probably nothing that can be done in this situation, but if anyone has any ideas on how I could either stop my uncle from literally being the devil, or any suggestions at all, they are all welcome. I am an open book with this, so if any of you have any questions or if I wasn't clear, feel free to ask. I am all out of ideas khv, please help.
My dad likes walking at night too. I don't know what to think of him either.
Holy fk. First of all (halfway through the podcast and had to comment mid workout) Th Aerosmith ride... @Misty speaking as someone with a head/neck injury that also has a seizure disorder. The ride isn't as draining as you may expect. The acceleration gets you at first (and truthfully the only thing that minorly effected me was the corkscrew). However it really isn't that bad on your body. As for the music, they only played music from before Aerosmith went clean, so it was fine. Then again I am the guy who loves rock, metal, etc. Great podcast so far. I will edit this post once I finish
I have no problems with someone being biased.
Accidental scum is still scum tho. I can appreciate effort, but at the end of the day it's the quality of the product that matters.
Shame and EA kind of go hand in hand.
A think a better question would be "why is being 'cool' relevant?" That being said I agree. There is no reason to make driving anymore unsafe than it already is.
Yerp a seatbelt saved my life. Rolled three times and when I regained consciousness, I was upside down. Sucks that I need pain treatment every three months and am on anti seizure medication, but hey I am still living and I am damn thankful for that.

It'll catch up to you
That or you could acquire some serious medical conditions that you will have to live with for the rest of your life that can severely cripple your ability to do things day-to-day. If you have a choice in the matter, not choosing to sleep healthily is just outright stupid. Even if you have some form of extreme insomnia, it can be worked through (unless medically speaking, it drives deeper than that, but if that was the case you wouldn't have made this thread).
You don't put ketchup on a hotdog tho wtf
The heartbreak is so good tho
I'd rather it be delayed and made properly then it be rushed out just for the sake of a release date.
Fact of the matter is you are grouping A LOT of people together and assuming they all act like "x". That's what bothers me. Don't get me wrong, I feel for anyone who is being mistreated, and complaining about your situation is fine. But saying something like "all guys" or "all girls" do "x" is ignorant at best. You do not know how everyone in the world acts, and maybe you (or whomever you were referring to) should just look for someone better or work it out with them. Hiding behind "it's not that easy" or "it's complicated" is no more than an excuse. I've gone through **** with my SO and we got through it together, not by making excuses but through hard work. I have no problem with you or anyone else making complaint threads. However if you are going to be overly unfair (in this case over generalizing something or using harsh stereotypes) expect me to comment about it. If you don't like that, block me.
This is probably because the OP pretty much screams "high school". This specifically is a gigantic issue because you are making assumptions, and on top of that you are just feeding a stereotype that is laughably inaccurate.
