From a former nice guy, you need to learn two things.

1. You cannot control your emotions, the only thing that you can control is how you respond to them. When you look back on intense, emotional situations are you proud of how you responded? If that answer is anything but a firm "Yes," then you need to work on processing your emotions in a healthy manner. This is something that I myself still struggle with.

2. Being "Nice" is what a default human is, nice is expected. Become a person, find some hobbies, talk to people, gain friends, do things. And yes while video games might be fun, it shouldn't be your default way of spending time. Your friendly local game store running a war gaming tournament? Sign up! Any nearby animal shelters or food banks? They're always looking for more volunteers! Enjoy bowling, golf, kickball, softball, soccer, etc., there's rec leagues for all of these things. Even if you like games, any local in person gaming tournaments? Conventions? Clubs? Get involved with local groups. The bottom line is you have to become a person, something more than just nice, but you have to do it for you.

Yeah until a certain age children are little sociopaths who lack a lot of empathy, which isn't a bad thing, empathy is a learned skill, but the amount of them that are online and doing it isn't great.

Whats even crazier is that the public transportation (busses) in my city only goes maybe 5 or so miles out from the bus station and NONE of them go to the airport.

My city just added a stop at the airport! It's on its own rapid line, right Centro? Right? Oh, it's on a line that takes an hour to get back to the transit center with multiple stops along busy roads that only runs from 8am to 8pm. Okay.

My guess is because stories like this  are much more common than OOP's.

I have things that I am attracted to, like hair and other things, but that only last for initial attraction. If I don't like that person on a deeper level I'm not going to keep seeing them just because they have characteristics that I'm attracted to. I've also formed crushes on and had relationships with people who did not posses any of the characteristics of my type.

That being said, you sound pretty young, and who you follow on social media doesn't really determine someone's type, so I wouldn't put too much thought into this. I know it's scary but if you like them and you feel like you can do it safely then you should approach them about it.

My personal favorite, "Just form a habit!"

I worry that we might be approaching a critical point, similar to the use of "Karen."

This is just the NOAA Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlook for the day, you can read it here. The NOAA scale starts at TSTM, or Too Small To Measure, then Marginal, which they have replaced here with Low. You can see the exact percentages on NOAA's website here, but TL;DR Tornado is <1%, wind and hail 5-15% chance, and flooding is localized.

At least where I live you cannot have multiple business licenses to sell alcohol in stores, so there's only 1 Total Wine in the entire state. The only liquor stores around here that aren't locally owned are directly attached to supermarkets, and those are few and far between.

No, they cannot hear you change hands. A ring appears on your mini-map when you do something that makes noise, showing the range of how far that action is heard from.

People on this website like to complain about people having a "Fuck you I got mine," attitude and then turn around and do that.

I get what you're saying, but I feel like it's slightly missing how this website forms opinions and groups. People generalize the opinions of Redditors to a monolith, but you can see wild swings of opinion between threads on different days in the same subreddit about the same thing. You can see this on places like /r/PublicFreakout, and long form on many gaming subreddits, where only a few months removal from something can have the vocal opinion change drastically. However, rarely is that vocal opinion actually indicative of the overall sentiment about that subject.

The 1% rule is the idea that of the users on a given website, only about 1% of those users create new content(posts), while only ~10% make any contributions to the content(comments) and the other ~90% lurk. And even still that's just the parts of the community that see any given post. I don't see everything, especially on subreddits that I'm subscribed to, so I imagine that a lot of people miss out on the majority of posts on this site.

Reddit averages 73 million users every day. That's a whole hell of a lot of people, and I'm not confident that I could say with certainty that they could all agree on any one specific thing. Hell, The Donald ruled r/All before it was quarantined. People tend to only engage in threads that they're interested in, and that tends to lead to thread specific echo chambers as dissenting opinions get downvoted, then people pile on those downvotes, pushing them even further down.

Also, it helps to remember that the average age of all Redditors is only 23.

I wish OOP the best in trying to get his vasectomy at 23, or more accurately I wish him the best in finding a doctor that will perform a vasectomy on a 23 year old, because they are notoriously hard to get while young.

So he's definitely wrong but I feel like there's a discussion to be had about how close bus stops are to one another, especially within cities. There's families walking along that road in the start of the clip, when did that bus last stop?

IIRC everyone in both planes was also wearing GoPros, so you could see literally every angle of the accident.

This marriage will be dead in a year. It's clear that his wife has a thing for group sex, especially with people outside of her relationship. OOP does not. This will either cause resentment, as OOP has now been strong-armed into more MFF threesomes, or cheating, as he has turned down MFM threesomes, and I can guarantee that she's not going to let that go. She got him drunk the first time and continued to press when he didn't immediately agree, while he was becoming more and more inebriated which just sounds like coercion because drunk people cannot consent, even if it's your spouse.

she told me it made her feel desired and attractive - assured me it’s not because I don’t show her enough of that - but coming from a stranger made it feel sexy

That sentence right there is the death nail. Those feelings coming from a stranger made her feel sexy. As she has more threesomes with strangers that feeling will only grow and I don't see this going any other way but cheating or forcing OOP into an MFM.

There are absolutely topics that attract certain crowds to certain threads, but by and large the site operates on a post by post basis in terms of opinions. I've seen the same post on different weeks in the same subreddit have very different sentiments in the comments. A super common one is age gaps, people love to say that Reddit hates them but it is genuinely a 50/50 toss up on how people will react to it in any given thread. People really don't understand that the first 10 comments tend to set the discussion trend for the entire thread, with very few exceptions. You want to drive the discussion on a subreddit? Hang out in New, you'll eventually get a few that take off.

If you want a similar climate temperature wise with a bit more snow and a lower COL you can try Upstate NY too! I was very surprised to learn that we get similar levels of overcast weather(Rochester and Syracuse are within a day or two of Seattle on average each year), but Upstate gets significantly more snow than the City of Seattle does(We don't really have anything like the size of the Cascades nearby thankfully though). We also have nearby access to the best 2 State Parks in the country, and some delicious wine, apples, and dairy products.

The only poly relationships that I have ever seen work explicitly started out poly. I've noticed that going poly or opening a failing relationship is the new "Lets have a baby!" It's involving someone who didn't consent into your bad relationship in an attempt to save it.

Fallout 3 was made by Bethesda and that is the game that the train hat/glove(the player can't see worn hats in first person, but they can see gloves) is present in, as it is from the Broken Steel expansion. Obsidian made Fallout: New Vegas and probably used that trick too, but Bethesda came up with solution first.

When I was in 4th grade we all got to pick what instruments we wanted play in the school band or orchestra. Well, ever since I was small my dad told me about how he played the trumpet when he was younger because his dad played, and that made me want to play it too, so I put that down on my form and brought it in. A few weeks later I was asked to come into an empty classroom by the band and orchestra teachers where we had a conversation like this:

"You put down that you wanted to play trumpet, right?"

"Yes, I did. My dad played it when he was younger and I want to play it too."

"Well we had too many people put down trumpet. Do you want to play something else?"

"No, not really."

"Your sister plays the violin, do you want to play that?"

"Not really."

"You're going to play the violin."

And a few weeks later we went and picked up my rented violin. My dad never mentioned anything about it, but I was super disinterested in the violin and never practiced, and eventually dropped orchestra(Side note, my orchestra teacher said the thing he would miss most about me dropping it was my dad's little drawings in the free space in the practice forms, that kinda hurt).

He told me last year that they called him beforehand and he agreed to it. He had no idea that they cornered me like that and basically coerced me into playing the violin and how much I didn't enjoy it. That crushed me, to a degree that I still haven't fully unpacked.

As of January last year 5 states have laws that allow motorcycles to perform special maneuvers like lane filtering and splitting.

California is the only one where lane splitting and filtering are legal with few exceptions.

Three of the others(Arizona, Utah, and Montana) have some variation of low speed lane filtering and/or splitting being legal on certain roads in certain lanes.

Hawaii allows for 'shoulder surfing,' as opposed to lane filtering.
