Unless the drugger was in this person's group
Isn't that a pretty common thing, where a woman is drugged by a man she is actively on a 1 on 1 date with?
The logistics of a stranger kidnapping a roofied victim seems much more complicated if they didn't show up together.
TGI Friday's used to be a full blown singles bar advertised as a place for young professionals to meet for one night stands and the like. When their core audience got older and started getting married and having kids, they pivoted to a neighborhood family friendly restaurant.
Same with asparagus.
I told the magic mirror a thousand times, I never wanted to meet a girl in person! I just wanted a corpse. You can't disappoint a corpse! I hate you magic mirror!
The true key is…counterintuitive as this sounds, not looking.
I agree with your overall comment but would also expand on this point. It's ok to be looking (and open about that fact) but you're right that looking for a romantic/sexual relationship is a lot easier when it's combined with looking for other things at the same time, like the other things you're talking about: people to share conversations with, to share hobbies with, to do things with, to learn from, to accomplish things with. Because after all, even if you do find someone to be a romantic partner, you'll want all those other things as part of it, too.
Most people who share your interests or want to do things with you won't be potential partners. I'm a straight cis guy with a lot of stereotypical straight guy interests, which means that the majority of people I meet through my hobbies are other straight guys, and none of us want to date each other. Even most of the women aren't in the dating pool (age, relationship status, other factors).
Being social creates opportunities to meet partners. For people who are able to do that, being social is the easiest way to create the environment where potential partners want to talk to you and want to explore compatibility with you.
Counterpoint: showing the sex and the puking in graphic detail in Team America were both important parts of the movie.
Which room though?
Yeah, I understand the article to be saying that the Hitachi contract is for the train control system, including the software and equipment necessary for the operation of the train underground. The broader system upgrades include communications systems between trains and stations. At least how I read it.
No, the $212 million includes the entire upgrade (and 20 years of support) of the automatic train control system. The full $700 million plus is for the overall modernization of multiple systems.
Yeah I wash my vegetables for grit. I don't even care that much about bugs, but even the slightest amount of grit is terrible.
I'm new to this community. What is this thread? Do people submit their own votes for a straw poll here?
As far as I can tell, it seems like most commenters have their own computer ranking systems that they're explaining as they submit.
It's all pretty interesting, but pretty intimidating for someone new to this place.
