Manipulativeness

“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”

IMO this way you let them know you’re interested in maintaining a relationship but at a friendship level. You demonstrate that you care about their feelings while clearly establishing the need for specific boundaries.

Some people don’t want to conform to your leg-prisons to appease your draconian fashion sense

It’s the same combination on my luggage!

Ah, the art of bushit-o

I went to bed at 10pm after cleaning my bathroom and putting away my clothes. I woke up 5 hours later with a cold. No regerts

Coops already exist. Basically they’re already set up so that when people move in, they own part of it, and when they move out, they don’t. The technical legal details of it varies from your country, region, municipality, etc, but from my basic understanding, when you sign your contract, it includes saying “you own this building with us until you move out. We might ask you to move out if you poop in the communal garden.”

Edit: re-reading your post, I realize I’m not sure if you mean the entire building or a single unit, but either way you can have similar arrangements.

Brian Blessed is still alive? Bah, who wants to live forever?

You really have to see how it resonates with them

That’s because the deal has already been sealed. They typically wanna keep you off the market, not increase your “resale” value. Unless you’re into that kinda thing. Like, cucking or sharing kinda kinks, not human trafficking. Human trafficking isn’t sexy. Unless you’re into that kind of thing. Like, as a fantasy, not as a real thing. Real human trafficking isn’t sexy. Unless you’re into that kinda thing. Like, as in humans stuck in traffic or transforming into cars and being stuck in traffic, not as being sold as a commodity. Unless you’re into that kind of thing.

Things do get looser as you get older

I’ve been trying little things to help brighten their day, like artisanal wallets or little jokes that I write down on cards and put in my pockets

From the last time I saw this, what I understood was, the lawyer isn’t asking the witness if there’s a possibility the person in question was alive, the lawyer is trying to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person in question was not only undeniably dead, but also impossible for the person to be alive.

People on here are sick. We’re talking about something tragic. I lament the loss of something as beautiful and precious as this. To think that a mountain could be tainted by being favoured by a genocidal dictator… no mountain deserves to be treated that way.

When I challenge my established concepts with new ideas or angles, and realize my previously held truth doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, or is reinforced or expanded upon. For example, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” makes me reconsider how so much depends on context, and how we as humans crave labelling and categorizing to the point of it being detrimental (see biological sex vs gender, Star Trek edit wars, classical music and pornography cataloguing, etc)

Don’t ruin OP’s strategic wishful thinking

They put me in a room

This post reads like shit!

BUG-FUCKEN wild

A Van Halen Trojan van, where a mini van held Van Halen. In our folly, we took in the mini van to spite the shitposter’s offering to Povanden, unbeknowst to us the dangers that would sneak in when we let our Vanguard down.
