Anyone ever feel weird or awkward around their crush’s family?

Don't feel so awkward. You're not a stalker because his mom gave you his number. People exchange numbers all the time, I have numbers in my phone that I've never called or texted, it's not a big deal.

It's possible the discomfort you felt while hanging out might be due to your own lack of comfort, kind of a viscous circle.

though, at the same time, the "third wheeliness" tends to happen when you're in someone's home and they're with family...it's too easy to fall into a regular routine of talking with your mom or sister and feeling too awkward yourself to directly interact with your guest. Likewise with his family members.

It sounds like you were a bit nervous and distracted by the whole "does he like me?" thing. Stay open and see what happens. It might not go anywhere, and that's fine too, being neutral and open while also not being closed off and aloof is a life skill that no one can master and takes a long time to be competent at, don't beat yourself up if you don't get it right. Depending on how comfortable you feel, I would err on the side of being too eager rather than erring on the side of being overly aloof.

Why don't you text him today? Like a meme that you found funny that you think he might find funny. And he'll probably just say that's funny. Don't feel pressure to keep the conversation going. If he responds, he responds. You can respond too. In the early part of a relationship less is often more, but again, you don't want to seem abrupt or aloof...It's a tough balance to strike.

5 G and AI is going full throttle despite the will of the people not wanting it.

Oh yeah, there is such resistance among the average population to 5G. Me and my broey bros talk about it everyday.

What does the world see when they look at the USA now?

Extreme is the word I would use for the US.

Everyone seems to be extreme left or extreme right.

I think it’s sad to see. I think trump is the wrong president, I think he’s suffering mental decline, he’s egotistical And narcissistic. And because of that he has no filter and says things that he should not be saying. He’s incoherent most of the time. A terrible communicator.

But I also think the media is toxic and skewed. Only writing for the shock factor, again, very extreme and whipping up hate for either side.

I wish America could be more together. The UK too. Divide and conquer. And they sure are dividing us.

I think most people are in the middle no matter where you go, the problem is the extreme people are the most vocal and attract the most attention, and it's an arms race with each side trying to out-shock the other, and there is no incentive to scale things down, at least no political incentives to do so.

Things seem more extreme now than they did 50 years ago because information moves so much faster now and the internet allows for anyone to have a platform to say, literally, whatever they want. So it's like you gave every ant colony in the world nukes to see what would happen. It's really easy to be angry on the internet. When you actually see people face to face, our empathy instincts kick in much more easily.

I don't think there is much to be done about it except maybe after a couple of decades things will naturally calm down...I think people get tired of being constantly outraged eventually.

Why not?

Hilary Clinton (and Bill) has more unresolved, personal blood, on her hands than Trump.... Those who voted for her AND wanted her elected President in the last race seemed to have forgot about it and moved on...

This is a testament to how weak Trump is as a President. Hilary lost and hasn't returned to any political prominence for his four years and still that's all you can say in Trump's defense. Trump has done so little for us that all people can say is "well, Hilary would have been worse!" Okay, glad we're agreed there is nothing to be said for Trump's value as a President. I'm not going to disagree with you on Clinton because I literally do not care but she doesn't matter anymore.

What does that mean? He already got people killed so people should just forget about it and move on?

However bad things are for most other rich democracies, it is hard not to feel sorry for Americans. Most of them did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016.

That hit me in the feels. Electoral College is so anachronistic.

Other than that, he's just saying what's obvious to anyone who's paying attention.

The conservative lobby groups that organized the anti-social distancing protests will soon have blood on their hands. Hopefully the people at the rallies who will die of coronavirus will have family with the wherewithal and resources to sue people for wrongful death after this is over. Or find some way of getting justice. Such a tragedy. And an utterly pointless one.

Don't let anyone tell you that Trump couldn't have done more about COVID-19

The whole "Republican vs Democrat" debate is not really what this post is about. It's only relevant insofar as Trump is a registered Republican, but he's not really a Republican at heart, he doesn't have any morals or philosophical thoughts on the economy at all.

I'd proudly vote for a Republican if I thought they were really better for the country than whatever Democrat was running against them and there wasn't any third party candidates that I was excited about.

The truth is, a rich businessman with a huge amount of influence on the press and a huge social media following hijacked the Republican party and Republican lawmakers know that their constituents love him and are along for the ride because at least he is getting those conservative judges appointed for them, and he did get them the tax cuts they badly wanted. But the price they paid for it is too large.

Im done with you.

How quickly the hypocrisy circle closed on that is enough to make one's head spin.

I'm really trying not to be hateful here, though it's hard because there is so much at stake with getting rid of this president, and so many people blindly follow him. I really want to believe that your intentions are good. But the only way I can rectify that is to assume that you are being manipulated by Trump and the hundreds (thousands?) of pundits that support him. That is kind of condescending of me but I'm having trouble making any other sense of it because you don't really defend Trump on the merits, you just say hateful, unreasoned things that don't make any sense and tell me that you want to block me when I merely share the truth that is self-evident with this President.


This is not about Democrat vs Republican anymore, and it hasn't been for a while now. It's about whether or not we want to let the openly corrupt businessman turned openly corrupt President Donald Trump continue to pillage us.

Lets blame trump for everything.

No, let's be honest and blame him for the things he's responsible for. Tens of thousands of americans dead, Iran and North Korea getting closer to getting nukes, the national debt increased more in one Trump term then Obama did in two terms with less accomplished to show for it, humiliating the US in the international community with his dirty dealings with the Ukraine, the constant lies and excuses and narcissism.
