I try not to ghost people. I don’t like being ghosted myself, so I want to avoid feeling like a hypocrite. But I typically get ghosted anyway. It’s frustrating, and depressing. If I’m giving off the wrong vibe, I’d like to know so I can correct it. But instead I’m left wondering what it could be and I have a bad habit of overthinking everything to begin with.

The last time I was ghosted was a couple weeks ago. I thought things were going well, but then she just stopped responding. I broke character and reached out one more time, but still got nothing. It sucks. Thought we had a connection.

🤷‍♂️ I miss the old days of dating.

Oh we are definitely the same, friend. I want Jake Paul to look like extra pulp orange juice.

There is no default:’friend’ on the backend. This is a template language that basically takes a first name, returns the first word, replaces any special characters with ASCII equivalent ones (e.g., ö => o), title cases it, and if it’s blank it will return ‘friend’ instead of an empty string.

And that makes it okay how?

I don’t think little of whores…

Says the person who calls prostitutes by a derogatory name. 🙄

Those commit messages though 🤣

FTFY

I tell my kids that a) they must graduate high school, and then either go to college or learn a trade. Regardless, they need to be educated.

You can say the same things about sports betting.

It’s fucked up for sure. Investing is akin to gambling in Vegas. Any one otherwise inconsequential detail could completely bankrupt you, and we’re expected to pin our elder years on this system.

Burn in fucking Hell Raegan.

You and others are right. I shouldn’t be considering my desires above my son’s needs. That’s really all that matters.

That sucks that you’ve jumped to the conclusions you did, especially without even talking to me first. If anybody is putting the cart before the horse, I’d say it’s you.

I started writing up a long reply to defend myself, but then I realized that you’ve already made up your mind about me. I doubt anything I say would change that opinion. So be it.

I asked for advice, and you gave it. I will see if there is anything positive to glean from your response and I will see how it fits into my life.

Regardless, thank you for taking the time to reply to me. And hopefully next time, you’ll not be so ready to rip someone a new one before you take the time to understand them.

Because the Scandinavian Rakesnake is blue and white, not orange and black.

For anyone out of the loop. It’s a classic cartoon gag.

I did fail to mention that last night, when dropping my son off to trick or treat with her son, she invited me to go with them. I had to decline because I was taking my other son trick or treating elsewhere.

Thank you. I have considered the option you suggested. That’s mainly why I am wanting to be careful about this. I did take your suggestion about inviting her and her son to an activity with my kids. We’ll see how that goes.

You are braver than I am.

Upvote for the screenshot in particular.
