Ask him if he would like to take a trip to Ireland to celebrate his graduation. I’m sure he won’t be starting work immediately, but if he already has a job it’s an easy excuse for at least a 2 week vacation. You could offer to show him around where you live and all the cool spots. Introduce him to your friends and do some of the things you all usually do for fun. Then you can take a trip to the touristy spots, which is conveniently a great excuse to get a room for night in the city, ya know, to make sure you have enough time to see everything and not worry about the travel time and such. Then for the end of the trip, just spend the time relaxing, and hanging out together. Give yourselves the time to get comfortable doing the day to day routine, give him a chance to experience what regular life in Ireland might be if he were to stay a bit longer.

Hey! I thought grey squirrels were only supposed be over here in our back yards. You guys have the red ones, isn’t that enough?

I think we’re all confused by the question.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

Let’s be fair here. While that is the point of the Scott and Ramona story, the movie didn’t really put a lot of effort into portraying that. The comics went a little more deeply into that dynamic and fleshing out the relationship, it was still pretty much the background against the character personality showcasing, and over the top dramatic fights. The movie really did nail the vibe and the characters but the whole “I think I learned something” and the end of the movie really downplays the “lesson” of the whole plot. So much so that I don’t think Scott himself even fully understood the actual lesson he just learned. Just that what he was doing was wrong, and needed to change, but not why and what exactly it was he needed to change.

Great movie for sure, even better comic series, but a deep complex plot it isn’t.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

Sorry, this opinion is way too unpopular to even justify it being on the “unpopular opinion” community. Now have your downvote (that fortunately thanks to lemmy isn’t tracked or otherwise impactful to you personally. Unlike on Reddit where it would be a permanent stain on your accumulated online life achievements) and be on your way sir and/or madam.

You’ve missed the point. There’s no expected commitment, they are both of the same mind. They both feel like it would be ok if it doesn’t last. It’s because they share the same feelings that they continue to work well together, and the relationship lasts.

This is basically how me and my girlfriend’s relationship started off. No pressure, if it’s not working we’ll call it off and go back to being just friends.

We’ve been together for 15 some odd years, and we have 2 kids.

Wait, you’re not taking about hockey?

They’re both GIF, and they’re both pronounced correctly, because there is only one way to pronounce it, and there is no other way.

People in real life are both. For every wholesome opinion, there exists at least 1 oposing opinion, and probably another one that says you should feel like shit for even thinking of that opinion.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

They actually didn’t come with memory cards. Sony back then was just as money hungry as they are now. You had to buy them separately. They were around $20 or $25 for a Sony branded one, but you could get 3rd party ones for cheaper.

You should know better than to pick up a duck in a dungeon. Lose 2 levels.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.

Any position in a corporation other than executive.

Moral of the story: we’re all at rock bottom.

Yeah, but over $1k is less than $6K. So… Worth it?

Oh man, my friend bought that game and has been trying to get us to play it, but I had twins, and have not more time for board games. It looked fun though

And somehow that method is preferable to the “how can we forcibly squeeze as much money out of the consumer as possible” method we have now.
