It's really not, because you're not describing a problem that you need help with. So I have no idea what "helping you" means in that case.

Was he literally "protecting" you so you "could avoid traffic and stuff"? Of course not. He very clearly aranged it so that you have some 1on1 time together. At least that's the obvious conclusion from how you tell the story.

So the real question is, what kind of crush do you have on him? Was it a secret crush and he accidently picked up on it and now it's weird? Or are you interested?

You don't expand on what happened afterwards, but it seems like he was just akward and dropped you off at home. So nothing inapproripate happend I assume (apart from the ethical concern of re-arranging test schedules for personal reason).

There isn't much to go off here, but it seems like:

• You have a crush on him.
• You might have send him signals
• He picked up on the signals
• He said something a bit weird (but you give little context).

I'm not sure what you're actual question is.

What do you mean why? YOU just explained it to me.

You said you would tell someone their beautiful, not because they actually are, but because you're regonize that they put in effort. That's insincere.

You said you should tell random people on the bus (most of them will be very average looking) that they are beautiful, because you want to make them feel better. It doesn't get much more insincere than that.

Also, there is no problem because guys randomly complimenting each other isn't a widespread thing in the real world. And in my book that's a good thing. There is already enough lying and disconnect from reality in the world.

it’s about appreciating something someone has put effort into or the way they express themselves, imo {

So basically A for effort, that's exactly what I mean by it being insincere.

But probably not every man you see on the bus or at the grocery store does. So why not brighten their day a little?

Because that is just lying to people to make them feel better. It's patronizing and disrespectful.

Well, if very much the exact opposite for me. I really don't understand why you would care about how other people look unless there is physical attraction. Telling someone that they look good without any physical attraction seems very insincere to me. Like, why do you care how I look like if you have no interest? It's just weird.

Now I do agree there are some exceptions for extreme cases. I can look at Ryan Gosling and it's hard to ignore that he is a very beautiful/handsome man. But I still wouldn't tell HIM that. First of all, he knows and second, for what purpose? I'm not really interested, he isn't interessted. It would be a weird thing to say.

Salt is ok, but try a pinch of MSG.

The only unwritten rule I know of is “be civil”.

Very much a written rule.

I know, that was the difference I wanted to highlight because it wasn't clear in the previous comment.

No, you have to be signed in with the same apple ID on both.

Unless you also need a tablet for other reasons, I'd just buy a portable monitor. Way cheaper and you don't have to deal with Apple's shenanigans.

It's not a big issue. It would just feel weird, I can't give you a reason.

To me it seems there is some homophobia lingering there.

If it was coming from a gay guy, that would acually make it better. At least then you understand the motivation for commenting on another guy's looks.

For example, if I’m wearing a shirt of a band I like, and another dude compliments it, why would that not make me feel good?

I'd say it depends on how you compliment it exactly. If you say "That's a nice shirt", that's basically saying you have good taste. I see no issue with that.

But if you'd say "You look nice in that shirt", that would be weird and I'd assume you're coming on to me.

That's aweseome! Now you can set up uBlock to remove them. Love it.

The reasoning is that drives are produced and shipped in batches and if you order multiple at onces there is a higher chance you'll get drives from the same batch. If that batch had some fault during production or it was damaged during shipping, all your drives might be affected.

I don't have a source, but it's something multiple expirenced people have mentioned to me.

Only reason I delete content is when I upgrade. Like replacing a low resolution version of show with a higher one. Still, I keep immutable "snapshots" of my entire media folder so even after deleting something, It'll stick around for at least 6 months in case I need to restore it.

Time to buy new HDDs.

I remember there being a lot more snow days as a kid. We'd go sledding and have snowball fights everyday of the week.

These days you can count the number of snow days per year on one hand. And usually the snow only lasts for a few hours before turning into slush.

All the time. It's my primary source of entertainment media. And why would I want to avoid hoarding? Hoarding is the goal.

That's not how spelling works.

Yeah, the KFC line is unnecessary.

But considering the recent Netflix Cleopatra "documentary" the title + black Einstein is pretty funny.

Haha, that reminds of this guy I knew as a teenager. He would buy a 500g lyoner sausage and just straight up eat it as it was. No bread or anything. And he'd finish the entire thing in one sitting.
