Legit question: How do you know if your male friend is catching feelings?

When you're young (that is my assumption here) its hard to discern "guy/girl is real pleasant and being nice to me" and "guy/girl likes me."

In any case you could just ask him but human psychology says you probably won't. These things will take their natural course one way or the other, the best advice that is also prkbably impossible to take is "don't get an ulcer over this stuff, in the long run its probably not that important."

Never calling is normal in this day and age. Ive been dating a girl two years and i'm pretty sure we've talked on the phone maybe ten times but we text everyday.

I never thought Trump would win, he can't even spell! His tweets, whenever I stumble across them, amaze me. He actually said "he qualifies not as smart, but genius, a very stable genius!" And that's not the least of them. However, I actually think, with all of that and even after the Mueller report, that his transgressions and interference are overblown and that he's probably less corrupt than the last two presidents, and less corrupt than Hillary. The thing is, all of his corruption is in the open being blared on all media. That did not happen as much with Obama and Bush, who in my opinion both managed to do worse things. People talk about the Mueller report all the time like it's totally damning, but unless I missed something, the Russian interference in question was mostly making memes and propaganda for idiots on Facebook. Americans do the same and they're paid more for it, so I don't care. Also, it's kind of great to have a president nobody takes seriously, he can't do as much harm because nobody lets him. Past presidents have been a little more subtle with their dirty dealings.

They posed as americans and organized pro trump rallies under false pretenses. They also hacked the Democratic Party's emails and Hilary Clinton's emails specifically to give that information to the trump campaign. Plus the stuff in the video soco posted.

Thats about as far as i've gotten into the report so far, i have been trying to listen to it on audiobook. Honestly it has made me so angry that im not sure i can continue.

I don't care who you are, or what reason you have, if I bring you money to buy a cake and you don't want to sell me a cake, I'm just going to punch you in your face.

I dont know about everyone else here, but i'd rather not get punched in the face. It's just a cake, just let them have it!!!

I don't think anyone really cares for the meaning of this country like they used to, anymore.
I didn't care for Bill Clinton's adminestraion and oddly, I was a bit taken back by the whole Lewenski/Tripp/Star ordel. I thought it was disgusting and I'm not talking about the Bill/Monica affair....
What disgusted me the most were the people's desire to smear the Presidential seat on the world stage at all costs.
John F. Kennedy went down in history as one of the greatest presidents to have ever lived....yet....just as it so happened to be he was also going down on Marylin Monroe.
You didn't see then people who were willing to make that the focal point of Kennedy's administration - we protected the image of the Presidency because it matters - the world watches and makes its plans based on the weakness of the chair.
But, nowadays (for the sheer entertainment), we're happy to throw anything to the wolves.
I'm glad Trump made President. Because of that, you can still tell the school kids that you can grow up to be anything you like including the President of the United States, otherwise it would have fallen to the hands of career politicians who generously liberate themselves with every facet that money, position and power have to offer - a sort of "Golden Corral" you will never get to experience.

My two quibbles with that is first, that there is a diffenence between the President cheating on his or her spouse and them doing something that can hurt the integrity of the democratic process. I think Trump's current position is closer to Nixon's.
And second, i don't think trump's starting line was ever similar to any old random kid without any special money or power to get what he or she wants.

Is this weird?

What yeti said. Using your body, him using his. You're in a more primal state than your natural, defensive, walking down the street mode.

I have similar experiences when my hairdresser is being a bit more sensual than she needs to be. That is all i will say about that.

But in order for him to be impeached, the house would have to vote on it and then in order for him to be thrown out of office, the senate would have to vote 2/3 in favor, correct? I think the Supreme Court gets involved? But I could be wrong about that, Iโ€™m going off memory.

I feel like what the republicans could have done rather than bend over backwards to adopt he-can-do-no-wrong attitude towards the prez was say, ok you're president. Now lets just do what we want to do and ignore you.

Their agenda probably would have gone a lot further. And they wouldn't look as bad as they are looking right now.

@Lano nice! Political discussions work if everyone involved donโ€™t take things personally. I always wanted to be part of a debate club ๐Ÿ˜Š I was in a club that focused on international security and politics when I was in uni. It was the only place Iโ€™ve ever seen debate without getting heated... except for this one guy, but thereโ€™s always that one guy lol.

It's a nice social outlet. Ours is very chill, we know we are not experts and that its all fun and games

I also try to avoid political posts. Everyone is so divided and itโ€™s hard not to take things personally. I have the benefit of being surrounded by people with different political ideologies, which forces me to question my own beliefs constantly.
