A week ago I told her I'd like to take her out and plan a nice evening for the two of us. I bought tickets to an art exhibit and made reservations at a restaurant and we agreed to dress up just for the fun of it. We were both super excited about it.

I can think of one person who wasn't super excited about going on the date

I am two years sober but don't judge anyone for drinking socially

Proceeds to judge her for drinking socially -

Quote
It's just... a hangover is different from say a cold or stomach bug. A hangover is self-inflicted, and I have to admit it feels a little shitty that she seems to have avoided using the term "hangover" and just said she was sick

Quote
I don't believe that I'm "owed" anything for making plans and spending money or anything gross like that,

Outside face - Nah it's totes fine. We're just hanging out all cash n that. Mates yeah. I mean, I like her but she's not really my type.
Inside face - That ungrateful TERF bitch.

You guys are like, dating / romantically involved?


Quote
Waiting for the OP cause I read both here and on reddit too many cases of people "hanging out" that though they were on a date and it was more like friends going out. No kiss/sex/romance etc.

I’m going to die of laughter if the answer is “no”

If yall are already fucking i wouldn’t look that deep into it. Maybe they are comfortable enough with you that they can flake on a hangover. It’s definitely something I’ve done before to someone I was dating and intimate with.

It would be for me. I have no desire to be with someone who is so irresponsible that they are out getting so drunk they have to cancel their plans the next day because they are too hung over or not feeling well. I have no interest in being in a relationship with someone who thinks going out and getting so drunk you feel like shit the next evening is a good time. So thankful my husband agrees and feels the same way.

No thanks, I'm not religious. I just don't care to hang out with people who get so drunk they make themselves sick and cancel plans the next evening.
According to Ree getting drunk once is a major red flag  :lol

I think the game's biggest problem is that the movie dropped the old boring forest Navi in favor of the new hype water Navi. So the game is too late for the party and it can't capitalize on the A2 universe. Who cares about ikrans anymore? I want to ride a tsurak now.

So I met a friend of a friend at a social event about a month ago and we immediately hit it off.

EDITS recommended for clarification:

Met a month ago and exchanged contact info
Went on a first date two days later
Started hanging out several days a week after that
Made these nice plans a week ago, it would have been like the 8th time we hung out



A week ago I told her I'd like to take her out and plan a nice evening for the two of us. I bought tickets to an art exhibit and made reservations at a restaurant and we agreed to dress up just for the fun of it. We were both super excited about it.

Fast-forward to the day of the date, at about noon she texts me and says she feels really bad but she is not feeling well and needs to cancel. I had a good idea that she was hungover because her and my friend I met her through had gone out the night prior but didn't feel any type of way about it at the time and didn't say anything other than please don't feel bad, take care of yourself, we'll go out another time, etc.

Today I ran into our friend and she mentioned off hand how hungover they both were Saturday (I wasn't fishing for information) and I honestly have to say my feelings are hurt. I'm not angry, just a little sad I suppose.

I am two years sober but don't judge anyone for drinking socially so I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's just... a hangover is different from say a cold or stomach bug. A hangover is self-inflicted, and I have to admit it feels a little shitty that she seems to have avoided using the term "hangover" and just said she was sick, though I'm trying to not assume her thoughts or actions. And we had agreed on plans a week prior so she knew she had stuff going on the next day. I think it's also a little extra upsetting because I spent money and put in a decent amount of effort to plan something nice. Perhaps I'd feel less hurt if it were more casual, loose plans and we were just gonna kick it and watch a movie or something. I don't believe that I'm "owed" anything for making plans and spending money or anything gross like that, I suppose I was just looking forward to it more.

I haven't said anything to her yet, I'm going to sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow.

Do you think it's unreasonable for me to feel this way? I am aware I am a sensitive person and have high rejection sensitivity, especially when it comes to dating, so I wanted to get the opinion of others. Please do check me if I shouldn't feel this way or am being problematic in any way.

Thank you for listening,
I would understand first date but OP had to edited it wasn't  :trumpcry Users were already blaming her before the edit lol

Sounds like the person with the hangover dodged not just a bullet but an entire 1,000 round magazine! Jesus fuck you absolute nut job

It is currently, but I think once it launches the plan is to have a specific OT filled with stuff about JK's TERFness and trans charities, with all discussion of the game restricted to only that thread.
Long ago there was probably a plan to have an OT like Cyberpunk does, but stuff has changed so much since then and JK has ramped up her transphobia to such a terrifyingly staggering degree, that it's probably getting another pass on what this site will do with it. JK is actively gloating that people will still buy her stuff despite the damage she's doing to trans people, she's directly tying her transphobia to the IP. I don't think that can be ignored.

Kyuuji been high on her own supply ever since her successful Cyberpunk 2077 campaign to get the game essentially blacklisted. Then again, the mods enabled her every step of the way, so why shouldn't she think that way?

So he claims he's not judging and that he personally knows about drinking but yet he totally can't fathom that she didn't do this intentionally to harm him but just wound up drinking too much and the hangover made her sick enough to want to cancel? He wants her to not have plans with other people because of future plans with him?

It actually upsets me because you know how many of them want to get into all the conspiracy theories from their favorite Twitter accounts who think Johnny Depp was the front of a fascist anti-woman Gamergate plot but the staff had already declared the One Truth to be with Depp so the original thread was full of people realizing how stupid those people all are and there could be no pushback leading to a distinct absence of all kinds of prominent members who fill every other thread. :lol

Quote from: Milovan Djilas, The New Class: An Analysis Of The Communist System
The Communist revolution, conducted in the name of doing away with classes, has resulted in the most complete authority of any single new class ... The new class is voracious and insatiable, just as the bourgeoisie was. But it does not have the virtues of frugality and economy that the bourgeoisie had. The new class is as exclusive as the aristocracy but without aristocracy's refinement and proud chivalry ...
The totalitarian tyranny and control of the new class, which came into being during the revolution, has become the yoke from under which the blood and sweat of all members of society flow.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Quote from: F. A. Hayek, Road to Serfdom
It is in connection with the deliberate effort of the skilful demagogue to weld together a closely coherent and homogeneous body of supporters that the third and perhaps most important negative element of selection enters. It seems to be almost a law of human nature that it is easier for people to agree on a negative programme, on the hatred of an enemy, on the envy of those better off, than on any positive task. The contrast between the "we" and the "they", the common fight against those outside the group, seems to be an essential ingredient in any creed which will solidly knit together a group for common action. It is consequently always employed by those who seek, not merely support of a policy, but the unreserved allegiance of huge masses. From their point of view it has the great advantage of leaving them greater freedom of action than almost any positive programme.

...

It would, however, be highly unjust to regard the masses of the totalitarian people as devoid of moral fervor because they give unstinted support to a system which to us seems a denial of most moral values. For the great majority of them the opposite is probably true: the intensity of the moral emotions behind a movement like that of National-Socialism or communism can probably be compared only to those of the great religious movements of history. Once you admit that the individual is merely a means to serve the ends of the higher entity called society or the nation, most of those features of totalitarian regimes which horrify us follow of necessity.

From the collectivist standpoint intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, the complete disregard of the life and happiness of the individual, are essential and unavoidable consequences of this basic premise, and the collectivist can admit this and at the same time claim that his system is superior to one in which the "selfish" interests of the individual are allowed to obstruct the full realisation of the ends the community pursues. When German philosophers again and again represent the striving for personal happiness as itself immoral and only the fulfilment of an imposed duty as praiseworthy, they are perfectly sincere, however difficult this may be to understand for those who have been brought up in a different tradition.

Where there is one common all-overriding end there is no room for any general morals or rules. To a limited extent we ourselves experience this in wartime. But even war and the greatest peril had led in this country only to a very moderate approach to totalitarianism, very little setting aside of all other values in the service of a single purpose. But where a few specific ends dominate the whole of society, it is inevitable that occasionally cruelty may become a duty, that acts which revolt all our feeling, such as the shooting of hostages or the killing of the old or sick, should be treated as mere matters of expediency, that the compulsory uprooting and transportation of hundreds of thousands should become an instrument of policy approved by almost everybody except the victims, or that suggestions like that of a "conscription of women for breeding purposes" can be seriously contemplated. There is always in the eyes of the collectivist a greater goal which these acts serve and which to him justifies them because the pursuit of the common end of society can know no limits in any rights or values of any individual.

For what it's worth I was speaking to an admin about this earlier in the year, before making this thread, and they said it was in active discussion. Discussions of this nature can lead to moderation though, so better to err on the safe side. Just know that it was raised by me repeatedly with where Rowling now is and all she's affected, as influenced by the first post, and as far as I know is still being talked about by the team.

It must be exhausting having to deal with this cunt's constant tears and backseat modding.

I am two years sober but don't judge anyone for drinking socially so I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's just... a hangover is different from say a cold or stomach bug. A hangover is self-inflicted, and I have to admit it feels a little shitty that she seems to have avoided using the term "hangover" and just said she was sick, though I'm trying to not assume her thoughts or actions. And we had agreed on plans a week prior so she knew she had stuff going on the next day. I think it's also a little extra upsetting because I spent money and put in a decent amount of effort to plan something nice. Perhaps I'd feel less hurt if it were more casual, loose plans and we were just gonna kick it and watch a movie or something. I don't believe that I'm "owed" anything for making plans and spending money or anything gross like that, I suppose I was just looking forward to it more.

I haven't said anything to her yet, I'm going to sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow.

Do you think it's unreasonable for me to feel this way? I am aware I am a sensitive person and have high rejection sensitivity, especially when it comes to dating, so I wanted to get the opinion of others. Please do check me if I shouldn't feel this way or am being problematic in any way.

Thank you for listening,
I would understand first date but OP had to edited it wasn't  :trumpcry Users were already blaming her before the edit lol

Gotta say, it reads like the guy had conversations irl and elsewhere that landed at possessive and creepy. Taking it to an incel forum for a fifth opinion is an safe way to hear what you want to hear.

Super appreciate all of the input and differing opinions in this thread thank you all.

I'm gonna chill out, take a lot of the advice in this thread, and just enjoy our goofy fun vibe and fucking like feral animals. I'll give it time to see where it goes, and if this becomes a regular occurrence worry about it then.

No polls....

Didn't Hitler say something like that?
Nah, the Nazis ran polls, only the election scheduled for the middle of the war (1943) was postponed, they just always had a predetermined result that nobody was allowed to dissent from. A lot of people in liberal democracies don't understand why authoritarian countries run elections, they assume it's for "international legitimacy" or whatever as if anyone takes those elections seriously but, to use a phrase ResetERA.com would recognize, the cruelty is the point. Most of them including even North Korea allow people to vote against The Party, but you vote in front of everyone and place your ballot in a specific box based on how you vote. Then just because you have freedom of voting, there's no freedom from consequences.

I will note that in previous threads many ResetERA.com members have wished usernames were always visible on their polls.

I'm so sorry for accidentally tapping your mind palace, Benji.  Actually I was just trying to make a rather clumsy (and probably also not quite historically accurate) pun  :rodney

Sometimes my replies, especially in this thread, are more jumping off something somebody said rather than truly FACT CHECKING and the setup to segue into what kinds of polls ResetERA.com truly wants was there. Also the implied thing about how even Hitler wasn't as afraid of polls (since he could control the result) as ResetERA.com.

I looked at social media, the idea that the universe he started is ending… has caused them to go into meltdown mode. Fire James Gunn is trending.

I can’t imagine having this kind of reaction to something you like and I’m not saying other hardcore fandoms are better, I hate to think how MCU fans will react when the MCU inevitably ends but I can’t imagine it would be like this.

So… how did this happen?

It's not really, not even on the Entertainment tab although there is a small one about WB.

Elon, seriously please put something about how THE TRENDING 👏 SIDEBAR 👏 IS 👏 PERSONALIZED 👏 already. They can't tell just from the tiny number underneath and they've never looked at the actual trends page to know what actual "trending" topics look like. (For example, the U.S. one is currently still dominated by Monday Night Football.)

You'd figure a forum brimming with MCU loons like Zero Vag would be the first to understand a cult following.

Who do you hear from more? Snyder fans, or dudes complaining about Snyder fans?

I’d say it’s interesting (let’s be real, it isn’t) how it sort of emerged to counter the schizo hate. Same with Lucas and the prequels. For years losers would say shit like Lucas um performed non consensual acts with their memories of youth. They’d say without irony that Bay and Snyder were jocks appropriating nerd culture. gaf types celebrated him losing a family member so he wouldn’t direct a movie with aquaman in it. Think people were fed up with all that and overcorrected. Neither group has any sort of capacity for introspection.

As for how marvel fans act, they were planning a january 6th event to raid sony over spider-man. They said getting gunn rehired was more important than the metoo movement. mother of a child actor from that last avengers movie had to tell fans to stop harassing her; in real life, not online. star wars, dc, marvel, playstation, nintendo. same batch of psychos picking a different obsession.

Only Avatar fans are pure. they only get chronically depressed knowing pandora isn’t real. But seriously. There’s an episode of How To With John Wilson where he stumbles onto an Avatar fan meet up. They… just watch Avatar. Weirdos.

Speaking of Sinophobia, one of the Chinese academics thanked in this book I'm reading currently has the name Ding Dong. I couldn't seem to find him online (not always easy with Chinese people in actual China with the vagaries of translation) so I couldn't tell you what Professor Ding Dong specializes in.

Well, that name does ring a bell

this could go in like 7 different threads here so I just leave it here

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/19/kidults-biggest-sales-driver-toy-industry.html

Quote
There are two things keeping the toy industry afloat right now: inflation and a consumer group known as “kidults.”

These kids at heart are responsible for one-fourth of all toy sales annually, around $9 billion worth, and are the biggest driver of growth throughout the industry, according to data from the NPD Group.

This cohort, which NPD defines as ages 12 and older, has been steadily contributing to the industry for years, but spending has accelerated in the wake of the pandemic, leading to year-over-year gains despite tough comparisons.

It’s an important moment for the toy industry, too, with the holiday season upon us. While sales surged across the board for board games, puzzles and playsets during the pandemic, the first nine months of 2022 saw a 3% decline in sales volume. Higher toy prices helped outweigh these losses, as sales revenue for the time period jumped 3%, NPD reported.

Kidults, who tend to spend more on toys, have a great fondness for cartoons, superheroes and collectibles that remind them of their childhood. They buy merchandise such as action figures, Lego sets and dolls that might typically be considered “for kids.” However, in recent years, toy makers have created product lines just for these consumers, realizing that demand is high for this generation of adults who still want to have fun.

“The definition of adulthood has definitely evolved,” said Jeremy Padawer, chief brand officer at toy company Jazwares. “What it used to mean, to be an adult, was to be a very upstanding, serious member of society. And to do that you had to demonstrate it intellectually, emotionally, in every other single way.”

“Now we feel a lot more free to express our fandom as a part of our adulthood,” he said.

yup, that's the kicker, there's a darkness there with that imagery that goes beyond the pale for even your usual trash rags. Its just plainly inappropriate and should have never gotten editors; dude's made a career of accessible bigotry and this is 8chan troll shit. As it's been alluded in the past there's something personal in his hatred of her outside of his usual racist sexist self.

Also, gotta say, someone needs to punch him in the face. It's so goddamn punchable, and it's right there! lol.

Something is going on, i don't know if it's just the stuff i consume or the youtube algorithm pushing this stuff but i keep seeing more and more pieces about how the woke movement in hollywood failed and why that's a good thing.

Anyone else notice this recently?

These coming from channels i don't follow but i have whatched content from time to time and considered good, mostly movie/series reviewers, but i can't help but feel someone is trying to push this narrative, Disney is one of the main targets and maybe rightly so, they lost a ton of money and recently fired their CEO overnight.

Do you think this push for diversity and equality in media is failing? How does that make you feel?

When I go electric, my first electric car sure as fuck won’t be a Tesla.

Years ago, before he started acting like a complete fucking idiot (which is putting it mildly), I definitely would have bought a Tesla. But now lol fuck no.

Good. Fuck around and find out.

I was thinking about buying a Tesla, but mope. I don't want to be associated or support that idiot.

Product doesn’t matter. How it can help the environment doesn’t matter. Only think that matters, is to pwn Elon.

Who knew creating media that spends most of its runtime telling the audience how much it hates them doesn't exactly go over well hmmmmmm.

Its not that everyone is racist (lol) or sexist or hate gays...its that when they consume media they often do it to get away from every day life and constantly being hit up against the head that they are in fact those things unless they completely conform tends to rub people the wrong way lol.

Not a comic nerd but Into the Spider-Verse and what little I played of the PS5 game...Miles being black was secondary at best. He also spent most of those stories fucking up like any good Spider-Person. That made him cooler to me than any other "i'm black yall" character ever has. I picked Miles because I am black so I can't speak on other races or genders but I can't imagine going to see Captain Marvel and being hyped when all Brie did throughout the movie was scowl and be unlikable and be rewarded for it and still be like the 5th most interesting person in her own damn film lol.

Being woke and caring about equality is fantastic. Being an asshole about not so much and it does more harm to any progress...which is probably the point as I think some of the loudest bozos just like to be miserable.
