Gay Chat V11 - Were you expecting something funny? - General

[QUOTE=Mysterious;43505052]My boyfriend is in the UK, but I'm not just gonna up and move there right away and vice versa. We're gonna visit with eachother first. It's kinda required to have a completely trustworthy relationship. You can't just wing these things.[/QUOTE] You don't understand, it's his Internet ex. Not the same thing as a straight up bf

The point is, don't just do things on impulse. You have no idea what you could be getting into just deciding to move somewhere else on a whim, especially when the help you seek is somewhere where you can easily obtain it.

I'm not advocating to go and move into a random persons home, but depending on Kalimari's current home enviorment could also lead to a "billion" ways to fuck up. Some people move on in life by just jumping out of the nest. It could be for better or worse. You best just be prepared for te worse though. And you better be above 18. Cause I don't know if an underage can just leave without being forcebly brought back home.

I browsed a US car selling site today. It's insane how much cheaper cars are there than over here.

I'd love to meet my boyfriend irl soon, but we're both gonna have to work really hard to make that a reality. For now, it's a fantastic idea, but we both have to get a lot of stuff done before it comes to fruition. I hope to get a lot of that stuff done this year. You can't just say "I'm gonna do this" and then simply do it. There's a lot more to it than that. But I trust him enough to work with me to make this happen. And it may be not for a while, but I'm determined enough to start, certainly.

[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;43505170]as stupid as it sounds you just really just consider him as someone youre really close to. you really shouldn't get attached that much[/QUOTE] Maybe, but I can't help it. Having someone out here is just too goddamned risky, considering how bigoted the community is. I know I may seem desperate for considering him my boyfriend and such, but I don't really care. He makes me happy. I'd rather be desperate and happy than lonely and sorry for myself at the moment. It's not set in stone, and I'm prepared for whatever may happen, but for now, I like it where I am.

I know I may seem pathetic for considering such, but I don't really care. It makes me happy.[/QUOTE] don't let it stop you/him from meeting other people though. Sucks but unless one of you is ready to leave everything behind and straight up move to another continent, it'll just end up with both of you "wasting" your time. it might be fun and make you happy but in the end you'll realize you missed out on too much

"Moving" isn't even in the cards yet. And yeh. I'm keeping and open mind about that kind of stuff. To be quite frank, there's no one here that I'm interested in. There isn't a lot of options when you live in a place that's been known to run off anyone from the LGBT community out of the state. But I'm certainly not gonna make a rash decision and decide to pack up and leave just like that. We're gonna see each other one way or the other, and if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Like I said a while back, the internet is the last vestige of a social life I have left. And yeah. It's pretty sad, but I'm trying the hardest I can with what I have. I have no job (and yes, I'm looking), no license to drive, no high school diploma, and not even a passport. I recognize all these things and I think this is what will drive me to getting them. It's not gonna be as easy as "oh I'll just move here and things will be fine". Work must be put in from both people, and we're doing it. So for now, I'll consider him a boyfriend and someone I want to meet, but I'm not gonna let that cloud my view of everything else.

[QUOTE=Tomo Takino;43505161]I browsed a US car selling site today. It's insane how much cheaper cars are there than over here.[/QUOTE] It's also insane on how the minimum wage of US people is half the one of Australian, it's also amazing on how American cars are often more rusted than most cars in Aus if they live somewhere snowy. Shazam.

Plus iirc we don't have a huge importation of cars from overseas, most of them are made here. And wages here are so expensive so the manufacturers need to make the money back. One of our major car makers is closing/closed and is shifting overseas because it's so much cheaper to make them on lower wages and import them here.

Someone making minimum wage in both country is clearly not going to buy a Porsche. Someone in the US making the same amount as the minimum in Aus isn't either. It ain't because the price is 3x more that the wage should automatically be 3x more too. There could be a whole debate about aus price versus other parts of the world and I ain't going to debate on that. I'll just point to the first words of this post. Pro-tip, Holden is GM, GM is American.

[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;43505518]Hydro-Quebec ?[/QUOTE] Bunch o monopolist thieves.

I love the feeling when you wake up then realise you don't have to wake up and can fall asleep again. The sleep you get then feels better than normal sleep.

[QUOTE=kalamari13;43502401]So uh. Yeah. About that running away thing I talked about. Me and my[sp]internet ex[/sp]came up with a solution. We're both going to pool our money into a paypal account until I can afford a plane ticket to move over there to Seattle in around March or April. He has to ask his parents is what I'm worried about first. He's had multiple roommates before and his parents didn't mind at all. I'm just worried they'll say no anywho. I'm trying to figure out how the whole process works from moving from one state to another. With state citizenship and healthcare and finding a job whatnot. My idea is that I'm going to look for a job in his local area and begin applying before I move, but I'm not so sure how that will even exactly work yet (applying at simple retail places out of state until a set date, does anybody have experience doing this?). I've known him for 6 years now and I know him probably more than anybody online. I'm hoping this is something that can be set in stone.[/QUOTE] A few hours late but Holy shit don't do this. I did this. 3 fucking times. I've gotten myself in so deep of a hole right now because of it. Save yourself about 2 years of your life and don't do this, please.

Nothing is more soothing and relaxing than a smoke early in the morning accompanied by music.

Fuck smokes, to be honest. Keep them lungs cleaner.

[QUOTE=WolvesSoulZ;43505832]Fuck smokes, to be honest. Keep them lungs cleaner.[/QUOTE] It is undeniably bad for you no matter what, but it does have that soothing effect on the body. I don't personally have much hope for myself, and haven't had for many, many years, so I don't really care much for the after effects. Everyone has their own opinions on the matter, and that's cool with me.

I don't mind people smoking, but I can't help but think that suggesting to someone (That doesn't already) to begin smoke, even if once in a while, is not cool. But then again, opinions, eh?

Hookah is a nice nicotine alternative too.

[QUOTE=kalamari13;43504985]With the [B]very[/B] slim chance of this going horribly wrong, I'll still have enough to fly back.[/QUOTE] You're an idiot - you're either going to end up homeless in Seattle or the other guy is going to take the money and run. Pull your share out, save up, look for a job and a roommate locally. Seriously man, this is not smart at all and you are going to reap what you sew, pull out before you end up regretting it.

You can do it every once in a while without the addicting effects kicking in. Self control has much to do with it of course, but yeah. Opinions. Actually; unless you're in a downward spiral into Shit County, I don't actually think it's a good idea. Getting rid of that implication in my posts.

Yeah, I'd just suggest to anyone not currently smoking, not to begin. Too risky to even benefit from some soothing times once in a while. But yeah, no grudge against smokers unless they're the kind that only seek getting punched in the face by sending smoke toward me and not moving/apologizing.

It's just plain rude.

[QUOTE=Stoffy;43505988]I absolutely despise people who smoke in the company of non smokers. It's just plain rude.[/QUOTE] I must be fucked up because I enjoy the smell of second-hand smoke. It's also really nostalgic for me. Reminds me of going on road trips with the family.
