Sounds like textbook NPD, particularly his backstory.

You mention gender role stereotypes but then fall prey to one when you clearly think you should be served first because of your gender. If you don’t believe in equality and would rather stick to ancient and out of date traditions that’s fine but perhaps he is a bit more progressive and you are not well suited to each other.

It’s ok for a woman to pay, it’s ok for a woman to suggest a second venue, it’s ok for a woman to make the first move. It’s not 1950 any more.

Regardless, like others have mentioned, having this much to question after one date isn’t a good sign.

Omnivore logic.

Wtf are Israel playing at. Other than genocide I mean.

So we get surprised every three months rather than every month.

You sound the coolest if you say you use Arch btw (this is a meme now).

It’s pretty common to bond over dislikes. Besides, disliking something isn’t negative, and there’s nothing wrong with being negative even if it were.

Yeah I was a bit perplexed by the mention of it being the strong stuff but I think you’re right.

When you look at support for things such as physical/emotional/financial abuse against men then it’s painfully lacking which can be devastating. This alone is a lot more widespread than you may think. Whether this warrants a minister is another question but there are areas which desperately need attention and it’s unfair to say just because women get the shitty end of the stick in general that men are not in need to support too.

Love a bit of kit

It’s crazy that you have to explain this in such a basic way but it’s still ignored/denied/misunderstood.

A valid reason for a start.

Same for all daws for me. I tried to get along with foss ones but they pale in comparison. Ardour crashed a lot for me, especially when the project got large with many plugins so I moved to reaper and had no such issues. On bitwig now and I can’t really think of anything even comparable that’s foss, let alone easier/better.

Her being a narcissist.

Yep

I think we had a week or two didn’t we? Never seemed to get much past spring.

“There was climate change when the Vikings were around so it’s not as clear cut as people make out.”

In my country we’ve had the opposite of a heat wave, the worst summer I can remember with rain almost every day and temperatures barely making it above 20 degrees. He says that this shows the planet isn’t heating up and jokes that we need more carbon.

Spend some money on decent grooming products, get some decent shower gel, a facial cleanser, moisturiser. I didn’t touch fragrances/colognes until I was in my 40s and couldn’t believe the confidence it gave when I found one I liked.

You should try some dark ambient instead of noise. Some is more distracting than others but a lot of it is perfect for what you describe. Try Kammarheit.

I’ve settled on gonemad, it’s one of the only ones which has what I need - an audodj feature to queue random albums after the current one has finished and the ability to play random albums (like a button to play a random one). Unfortunately none of the open source ones I’ve tried have both of these, usually the autodj feature
