  • Wouldn’t it be better if you started a year early so you can give him a heads-up on everything when he starts the next year?

    This way you can put your boyfriend first and yourself first. Seems like a win-win to me.

    Unless you’re wanting to do this because of some other underlying issue that you haven’t disclosed (risk of jealousy? Anxious attachment style?).


  • Be good to those you meet on your way to the top because you never know who you’ll see again during your fall to the bottom.

    Heard this and it stuck with me. Not because I was “mean”, but it’s just a good perspective on why even someone utilitarian (or psychopathic) should be nice.

    What if (god forbid) she lost her beauty? What if one of the people she was mean to attacked her face causing permanent damage? The others will remember that she was mean to her and show her no sympathy.

    Big dogs shouldn’t eat small dogs. They should protect them.





  • 14 isn’t old, it’s not even legal age to buy cigarettes.

    I’ll do some weird math.

    The first computer game could be argued to have been released in 1950, and the first commercial video game was released in 1971. Let’s call it either 70 or 50 years ago.

    14 years is 20~28% of the entire history of video games.

    The first feature film came out in 1906; let’s call it 120 years old. So let’s calculate what 20~28% of this history of film is.

    20% of 120 years is 24 years, and 28% is 33.6, rounded to 34.

    So if you compare them by the “commercial video game vs. feature film” definition, a 14-year old game is like Beauty and the Beast, Hangin’ with the Homeboys, or Showdown in Little Tokyo.

    If you want to use the “youngest” ratio, then we can compare Skyrim to films that are just 24 years old, like Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, or Spy Kids.

    I dunno, I think 14 years old is an old game! Haha
