The Awkward Silence

Q: Ex - friend deleted communication platform after I blocked him

5:29 AM

Let this ex - friend be called A. For almost two years, the friendship has been soured and I have blocked him in all places conceivable. A year ago, he initiated contact with a new number after he returned to town. He made sweet gesture to mend the friendship and ten months later, we went out and...

Q: I am offended by close people. How to response?

5:01 PM

I am a man in forties. I am well educated, actually I am a scientist. I know my wife for almost 20 years and we have two children of the school age. My wife has also PhD, however, she works for industry. We work in Germany, but we are not local. My boss at the university uses words "stupid" and ...

Why would people share their, um, in-house secrets comfortably with anonymous people on the internet, but not their wives?

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Because the internet can sympathize, while the wife is already a known factor in not doing so :)

Isn't that how wives are supposed to work, I mean

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Eh. Hopefully? :)

I'm just a 20-year-old weirdo with no such experiences, but that's my impression. A good relationship is one where it would be me and wife vs. the world. We could tear each other up in the house, but never back down on each other when it comes to the outside world

There's a derogatory proverb in Persian "his/her mouth still smells like milk". I guess I qualify, but still

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Still wet behind the ears < Dutch equivalent ;)

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ This sounds both amazing and a bit scary ;)

6:20 PM

Hey no fair, my behind the ears always get wet when I go out jogging

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Time for you to dry up well

They're gonna get even more wet as summer approaches

Is that another derogatory proverb?

I'm guessing it means "die"

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ not derogatory ;) Someone that dries up well becomes prettier with age.

So when they die, suddenly they shed a skin and become a princess?

You just killed an innocent woman

Well my professor-ish beard is looking good. I'm more like a samurai apprentice now.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ No, it's mostly used for those people you only see ever so often, and that have had their awkward puberty phase OR are really turning out to have like beautiful grey hair or something ;)

6:24 PM

In 5 years I'll probably be Obi Wan.

Except in black. Black is cool.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Just... keep it well cared for. Nothing so gross as a beard that looks like it has been left to its own devices.

My hair is not like that

It hardly ever becomes messy

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Lucky you. Mine requires a lot of combing and detangling.

Obviously. You are a lady. The standards are different too.

'lady'... humpf XD

6:28 PM

Hey I'm not a bit blunt

If I'm bit I might become a vampire, but not blunt

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ You never know. Maybe you'll be a blunt vampire. That would suck.

Guys are more like the grass field that's left untidy because 'the cattle will take care of it'.

Either that, or are weirdos who dye their hair in purple and pretend they're shooting at you with a magic missile

BBL dinner

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Enjoy! :)

And purple hair is cool. Wish I had the guts for it :)

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Hey, I have purple hair :P

user15026

No beard tho ;)

Q: Communicating your adult interests with a non adult audience

6:40 PM

I'm not sure this is entirely the best place to post this, but hoping someone can help. A while ago I owned a small online rock music magazine, but found after a few months that my market was much bigger than just music, with interest from artists and those in the fashion, motor and tattoo indus...

@Ash you're alright as long as you don't strike me with magic fist of Mormot or shield of zorglorg

Nah, you're good there

Q: Someone else using my cooler without my permission

7:59 PM

This might be very intuitive for someone to suggest me to ask him to put it back. But please hold on. I live in a hostel and changed room to the next room which had a cooler already. I put mine outside in the corridor which is a common practice. The new person in my old room has started using i...
