Anyone else got a date after Christmas?

Fuck you santa.

Take your money and rent a girlfriend for Christmas.

World of Cringe.

$ make girlfriend
-bash: make: command not found
$ brew install cmake
$ make girlfriend
$ make: *** No rule to make target ‘girlfriend’. Stop.

i've stopped calling them dates, lack of the (subconscious or conscious) expectations on both sides make for a much nicer, more relaxed, vibe and interaction, but yeah, most likely, unless everything gets locked down again due to covidler.

Don’t mind me, I will be crying watching Love Actually, alone.

I might go hang out with someone. And by that I mean that I'll probably stay home and chill after they say no.

@Cyanide same, but because of romcom manga

@Midnight-shcode I agree, I very much have a "friends first" mentality, after all if they aren't someone I'd wanna be friends with, they're probably not someone I'm interested in a serious relationship with. But I met them through a dating app, so... Is kinda a date. That said, first date is very much get to know someone, decide if I want to see them again.

@atheist yup :)
oh and then there's a strategically advantageous psychological effect when *they* call it "a date" first O:-)

but mainly what you said :)

2010 called they want their humor back.

@jeeper DID YOU WARN THEM ABOUT THE PANDEMIC?!?!

@atheist I did they said they aren’t worried about it because the quality of leadership has really went up under Obama and there’s no way somebody even more rich and out of touch and less competent than Bush Jr would event be elected. And it’s very clear the US is opposed to the sort of oligarchy the second Bush admin represented so there’s no way someone closely related to a former president would run anytime soon, certainly not a former president’s spouse or anything. So they think their future, very competent leadership will handle it smoothly.

I'll spend the new year festivities with my 2 girlfriends, and go live with one of them for a bit. Then I might visit my foreign boyfriend in February.

I won't get too long here, but I feel like the mindset is part of the problem. The goal of being a boyfriend invites a lot more of the necessary introspection than just wanting a girlfriend.

In dnd you can become a dragon at lvl 17 by making a glyph with clone, then resting, and true polymorph yourself into a gold dragon, then triggering clone, and waiting the 120 days for the clone to mature. Now when you die you become a gold dragon instead of being yourself polymorphed into a dragon.

Also if you have a gold dragon and are friendly with them, they can turn into a humanoid.
