No, they were put off because I didn’t cry over the situation, or really demonstration and strong signs of despair.

I have been dumped for not expressing emotion, and crying, due to tragic things happening.

yeah, lots of could have’s in this scenario. but who knows. maybe we will get more insight as time goes on.

I wouldn’t be all that surprised honestly

I mean the guy may have been at the end of his rope for multiple reasons. I mean fort bragg/liberty has really high levels of lead in their water, mold in their facilities, etc., plus whatever PTSD he may have had. Who knows. However, being trained, he should have known this wasn’t going to be some massive explosion, that it was mostly just going to set the truck on fire.

Edit: I’m not a girl, just a rust dev

then you likely need to wash them now, like right now

I think it might have been more about the message a burning cybertruck, in front of a trump hotel, right by the trump sign, sends, than it was about the violence. Especially since the person is military trained and knew this wasn’t going to go all OKC federal building.

Yeah, I remember the dead leg one now too. Haven’t thought about it in a long time. I wonder how much of this stupid fad shit I just do not remember.

Yeah, back when I was in like middle school the big thing was the “choking game” and then the “knockout game”. Choking game was basically you let someone choke you until you passed out, and the knockout game was basically randomly sucker punching people. This was the mid 90s.

Not sure about it specifically, but when I was a child in England it was a british man, and when we moved back to the states it was a person with a NA accent. I later learned those to be Ringo and Carlin. Don’t know about timelines, or release differences, or anything like that though.

English vs US versions

I mean, I don’t know an american that would list any fast food as the place that serves the best/their favorite burger.

Yeah this was going on before that. Media Piracy really set-off in the late 90s when DSL, and cable, internet services became mainstream. Also Netflix started making their own content in response to a growing number of competing services, all fighting over the same pool of production companies’ work, and having exclusive rights to one IP, or another, rather than other services being the result of netflix making their own content.

I hope this is at least half a joke and it didn’t get super bad for her, but yeah, people like this are everywhere, many don’t even realize what they are doing.

Well, the boyfriend, in this example, would be socializing. Just expecting her to be there as an accessory

but yeah it is awkward to see

Correct, it is a pejorative used in two ways, either people racist against asians claiming anyone who isn’t asian dating an asian, has yellow fever, or that person in fetishizing them. Just being attracted to a person is not the same thing.

this applies to other ethnic groups, hair colors, and many other things.

Finding a specific aspect of someone’s appearance attractive, and fetishization, are not the same. A normal person could find melanin attractive, and be fine. When they are eschewing any interest in the person other than them having dark skin, you are fetishizing them. The person in this comment is pointing out how this fictional guy only dates asian women, and brings her around to be shown, rather than to enjoy the experience with in a deep way.

Usually these people will give it away through an accumulation of subtler behaviors, or they just kinda out-right say so.

These things are often subtle. Noticing the many ways they never really talk about/to you in any other way than that one aspect of you they fetishize. In this post there is the dating history, how she is just there, quietly, on his arm, because he isn’t actually doing anything to interact with her outside of her being there to be his asian woman. You may say that it is her responsibility to socialize, and that can be true, but more often than not this is a learned behavior. They have come to understand he doesn’t really want them being anything but his arm candy, and has a history of making things bad if she does otherwise.

A lot of this easily deniable, which is why so many people fall into it. A lot of abuse, and objectification, isn’t going “hey, you are my asian fuck doll, don’t try to have autonomy”. Much like how racism can be expressed in a bunch of much more subtle ways, like women taking direct hold of their purse when a black man walks on the elevator, but the strange white men didn’t illicit the same response. It could just be a shift of position, or a million other things that aren’t racism. However, when you are a black man, and see it happen every time this situation comes up, you realize it is a response to you, and what makes you different from those she was around to that point is? You are black. Hell, people might not even be aware they are doing it.

There are some people that make it clear though, for reference see the incel community obsession with asian women.

I guess your comment’s POV, being framed coming from someone who didn’t like people trying to participate with them in their hobbies, lead me to perceive the position being from someone out in the social spaces of their hobbies, where something like that can happen, rather than something like at home, alone, doing their thing.

I guess my point is that the way the comment was worded seems to create the opposite setting of what you were trying say?

you need to be the one enjoying the hobby somewhere else, if this is the case
