The Unofficial Official Chat Thread

Yeah, that’s what I was gonna say, more or less.

I’ve been watching Battlestar Galactica again. It’s good enough that I can stick with it, but the theme song is shit. I don’t see why they couldn’t have used the old one.

Edit: It’s also way too predictable.

^old or new?

I agree with daniel. Yeah, that’s basically exactly how I reasoned through that one. You at least die in due course when attacked by a facehugger. Head crabs require a put down. And I dunno, it just sounds more painful too. With their screaming and such.

Also, I always thought they clawed themselves open and fed directly into their stomach. It just seemed that way, rather than it splitting itself.

The new one.

I liked the new one until the ending season and then it just got all meh…

^agreed

I prefer the new to old. It was great. Definitely more exciting than the older one.

IMO the new BSG would be far, far better if they had only kept the original theme music.

Well, that theme is actually used in the new series as the official anthem of the 12 Colonies.

My phone went through the laundry… I’m letting it dry out tonight before seeing if it works anymore in the morning, and it is an old phone so that might be all that needs to be done, but I might need a new phone tomorrow…

not sure you care, still, I guess sharing is important

My headphones have gone through the wash twice in as many weeks, and I just spilled fruit punch all over my mother’s netbook.

I’m sure your mom will be very happy to hear that

My phone is bricked. I will need to buy a new one today. The old one is so old it doesn’t have a removable sim card. sigh

I heard this thread was being used as an outlet for heartbreak and downtrodden luck. For the past couple of months, I’ve been having a tough time with this girl. I’m linking the reddit posts, but the TL;DR is that she’s attracted to me and thinks we’d be perfect together and she’d want nothing more than to date me, but she has abusive ex she still loves and isn’t quite ready to give up on, though she said she wants to move forward and possibly move on to me at the end of her recovery. I’m not really sure how to handle it or help her through it. I’m very worried that she’ll cave and decide he’s a better candidate than myself.

Anyway, threads one, https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/1ds179/i_22m_have_almost_certainly_fallen_for_my_friend/, three, four, and five.

It’s a pretty fucked up situation, actually.

That is quite the situation you have got yourself into.

Unfortunately on this I cannot give much help. To deal with getting rid of her ex, I would suggest simply being there for her, and first and very foremost examine all the situations where Jacob has treated her wrong, and make damn sure you do everything in those situations right. I am uncomfortable with how you two interact with each other. It is an entirely different culture than I am used to, and so I cannot give you any sound advice regarding how to “win her over”.

Pardon my bluntness, but are you hoping this is going to be a long lasting relationship, or are you just looking for a few boinks and then whatever happens, happens?

Long lasting, and on that we are both on the same page. We both love each other and she even said that she’d readily spend the rest of her life with me once he’s out of her mind.

You’re going to have to tell her (although you probably have already) that this ex doesn’t love her as much as he may claim to, seeing how abusive he’s been. Have long talks with her about it (but again, you probably already have). Consult a psychologist or counselor.

I can relate, one of my sisters is in a relationship with a complete bully. He’s always putting her down, telling her shit like “You need me more than I need you”, turning what could be fun times into nightmares. She graduated from NYU last year and while everyone was clapping and cheering at the ceremony, he was reading some fucking magazine. And it isn’t just her either, once, at a get together, he called my FIVE YEAR OLD nephew a jerk.

But then after a while, my sister broke up with him, and right when it seemed she was out of the hellhole, she gets one message from him saying “i luv u”, and suddenly she runs off with him to California so he can attend Standford. Mind you, he’s never sacrificed like that for her before.

Fucked up world with a bunch of fucked up people.

Apparently the guy who works in one of the stores in my building beneath my office knows the woman I asked out back in December. I really wish I had been looking anywhere but out the window at that moment…

All this talk make me remember things…
“I don’t want to die, I just don’t want to live”.
This goes down to that I actually just want to get away from everything for a while, I wish I had a lot of money with no particulary use so I could take a long time vacation.

That sounds like depression.

I’m not depressed anymore, I just fall into small puddles from time to time.
That quote is an direct translate of the title for a book written by Ann Heberlein who was diagnosed with manic-depressive disorder. Must be hard living with it, going from happy to depressed in an instant and then back again.
