Someone who genuinely wants to get to know you will ask you a more creative and less intrusive question.

This is probably NOT unpopular on here though lol.

Wow. They actually ask you if you can drive, when they're not drunk?

Old constructions are not good.

Next person who goes on a "old houses were built GOOD, they don't build houses that GOOD anymore" rant to me is getting bitch slapped. Just had one of my husband's friends do this yesterday and I was about to scream.

They are only good if they were maintained well for their entire existence. 95% of people will only update things or maintain them if they are already broken or on the verge of being broken - so that 100 year old "quality built house" is probably worse than any <5 year old construction that hasn't had a chance to rot away due to neglect yet. Most people have no business owning a house and deserve to be in apartments, because they do not have the long term thinking skills to figure out that houses need constant upkeep and maintenance - plus they'd rather spend money on some stupid shit now.

Signed, someone who regularly has to spend outrageous amounts of money on fixing the neglect of the trashy retards that owned this house before I did.

Zionism is a form of nationalism, which isn't bad. If you are a nationalist you should be consistent and support it's right to exist.

I live in an old house(s). Hopefully, this year I'll demolish them and build a nice condo.

High school reunions are more depressing than anything else.

I believe there are better ways to spend time than watching your former classmates age, hearing about those who have passed away, or comparing yourself to those who may have achieved more than you.

Funnily enough, I attended one last night. It was fun and interesting to catch up with people I hadn't seen in decades, but at the same time I was reminded as to why they are not deep friends of mine.

Were you informed of the death of any former classmates? I’m assuming this was a 20 year reunion or thereabouts.

I'll add onto this: I find it odd when people care much about what they did in high school after the fact.

I had an ex who was almost 30 and really strangely obsessed with high school. I say ex pretty loosely because I got tired of him quickly and could never really get into the relationship, but it didn't take long to figure out that he was so mentally stuck in high school because he never really accomplished much after the fact. He got really fat, hadn't had a girlfriend since then, spent all of his money on fast food and video games, and so on. He used to wear his class ring and he'd spend a disproportionate amount of his time telling me stories about how he was a cool jock who slept with all of these girls back then. I used to cringe just hearing about it, thinking "man - you are almost 30, you're supposed to be financially stable, own a house, have a career, and have left all of that immature crap in the past". It was the first time I ever encountered someone who "peaked in high school" - I fully understood the phrase then.

I think that the reunions aren't necessarily bad but that there is something inherently wrong with adults who have more than occasional memories of how life was back then or some curiosity about how some interesting characters from high school are doing. I didn't mind being in high school - but life got so much better after then, I don't understand how anyone can miss being a teenager.
