Explain the difference then and I hope it not reliant on semantics
Let me preface it by saying I am fully aware of how absurd it is. I get it. But sometimes, in an attempt to not seem like a bother, you want it to be explicitly stated that your company is wanted. You’ll say “clearly he wants you to come because he just asked”. But “are you coming?” and “I really want you to come”. Sounds entirely different. It in the nuance and yes, the semantics. Also, sometimes it just sounds nice to hear. It’s reassuring.

Right. “are you coming” can just mean “I need to know now b/c of other plans”.
Yeah you gotta emphasize on some shit like this
^^^^!!!!!
Damn.. She explained that perfectly. Never looked at it like that.
know the difference
If I’m asking you, I want you to come. Otherwise I wouldn’t ask and just wait for you to bring it up…
He clearly asked “Are you coming over”. Pretty sure he wants you to come if he asked.
Your WCW can’t tell from you asking her to come over that you want her company. She expects you to play semantic back and forth games to humour her constant need for reaffirmation. She’s almost 30 and doesn’t see a problem with it.
If you do want her to come over then just answer that question with a yes and dassit. If more questions keep pouring in after the initial “yes” then cancel & throw the whole convo away 🤷🏽
In early 2007 I saw a TV interview with a young female American soldier whose job was to drop bombs remotely on Iraqi targets, directing them from a computer console in Colorado. The reporter asked if she had any doubts or remorse about what she was doing. She perkily answered that she trusted the orders and information she got from her superiors. My brother had been killed by explosives dropped from an American helicopter that flew in after an unmanned U.S. drone had scoped out the area. It struck me that Haji’s death had been orchestrated by someone just like this young woman, pressing buttons from thousands of miles away, sitting in a comfortable chair in front of a computer, completely oblivious to the terror and destruction they were causing to a family–a whole society–halfway across the world. I was overcome with feelings of intense hatred and anger toward this woman in Colorado and all the other young, fresh-faced U.S. soldiers. But in my heart I knew that wasn’t fair; they’re mostly just kids caught up in a cycle of greed and power they don’t understand, naïve pawns in the age-old game of aggression and warfare. Born and raised in the United States, an encapsulated sphere of privilege and safety, it’s not surprising they would be unable to fathom the reality of a distant, foreign society and the ramifications of their actions.
I don’t fuck with people who enjoy embarrassing/humiliating other people just to look cool. That shit make you look weak and miserable to the people who can see through yo bitch ass
I think the most Gemini thing my dad has ever done is one year he threw himself a reverse surprise party for the sheer drama of it. What is a reverse surprise party? you may ask, well let me tell you. So he invites over all his friends and family and then in the middle of dinner he stands up and announces that it’s not a regular dinner, it is in fact, his birthday dinner (his exact words were “Surprise! …. it’s my Birthday”) cue everyone looking panicked, because oh god I don’t have a gift, I don’t even have a card, but my father, wine glass still in hand assures them not to worry and reveals a pile of presents he got for himself and wrapped for everyone to pick one and give it to him as their gift. And honestly? My father is such a legend.
Fall behind on your student loan payments, lose your job.
Few people realize that the loans they take out to pay for their education could eventually derail their careers. But in 19 states, government agencies can seize state-issued professional licenses from residents who default on their educational debts. Another state, South Dakota, suspends driver’s licenses, making it nearly impossible for people to get to work.
As debt levels rise, creditors are taking increasingly tough actions to chase people who fall behind on student loans. Going after professional licenses stands out as especially punitive.
Firefighters, nurses, teachers, lawyers, massage therapists, barbers, psychologists and real estate brokers have all had their credentials suspended or revoked.
[States are: Washington State, California, New Mexico, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Virginia]
There are a lot of anxious graduate students at universities around the country right now.
That’s because to help pay for more than $1 trillion in tax cuts for U.S. corporations, the House Republican tax plan would raise taxes on grad students in a very big way. These students make very little money to begin with. And many would have to pay about half of their modest student stipends in taxes.
“The past week this is what I’ve been talking about with other graduate students, with classmates. I think we’re all shocked,” says Tamar Oostrom. She’s in her third year of getting her Ph.D. in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
She and her classmates have been crunching the numbers. “This bill would increase our tax by 300 or 400 percent. I think it’s absolutely crazy,” Oostrom says.
As the majority of research is conducted in universities by grad students, research would take a major hit, too.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has made another sweeping change to the student loan system that consumer advocates claim favors student loan collectors over the American people repaying those loans.
There are currently nine student loan servicers handling these accounts for the federal government.
Late Friday afternoon, DeVos announced the upcoming changes via an amendment [PDF] to the contracting process, which will see the student loan servicing contract awarded to just one of the following: Navient (the servicer spun off from Sallie Mae), GreatNet, or the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).
Whichever company ultimately receives the contract will be required to build a platform to collect on and service an estimated 32 million federal direct student loans.
Do you see the picture being painted? It is becoming much, much harder to pay off student loans. It is becoming much, much harder to have student loans forgiven. If you don’t pay off your student loans, you can become jobless and therefore homeless. In some places, you can even lose your drivers licence. This would make it harder to pay off student loans and will result in you having a harder time not being homeless or living in poverty. There will be less grad students, less students pursuing higher education in general, because of how big of a financial burden there is. There will be less scientific research being done, and science will take a hit. There will be less educated in this country, and wealthy individuals will be more likely to be educated.
Meanwhile, billionaires will become richer. Income inequality will become more prominent.
This is a class war against the unemployed, the unable to work, the students, the homeless, and those who aren’t born into rich families.
The high standards of masculinity that is put upon men is actually enforced by other men, and have nothing to do with women. It is not an example of ways that women “oppress” men
