I have, but that has nothing to do with my previous comment. My friend, your original post (that you have now edited, don't move the goalposts just because you want to fight) made broad generalizations. My comment was an attempt to help you learn how to reflect and be critical about your beliefs: I thought that might be something a user with the name "open_mind" would appreciate. Fuck me, right? Well done on showing everyone what an open mind you have. Learn how to question yourself when you feel like fighting and spreading negativity. Just because others didn't react the way you expected doesn't make them wrong or bad, and being a dick to someone who was trying to have a constructive conversation is spreading negativity--what you were originally complaining about.

Part of having an open mind is trying to consider your personal biases and where you lack knowledge and expertise. One of the reasons you are getting negative responses is that you stated a very broad generalization that simply isn't true. Life is not black and white, it is grey and invincible against simple explanations.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was needed to indicate my sarcasm. It is always about power and control when comes down to it, though you could see the sunk cost in this situation as being the power of the church. Honestly, I do believe this comic may be specifically using hats as a symbol for the power of the church at that time.

Do you think this is just a troll or an actual teen? I don't want to waste my time on trolls.

Well, if you are never there, then you aren't there for them. Thus, they will not be there for you in the future, because you haven't bothered to be there when they needed it.

Wooooaaaah! Thanks Crow!

That then is your answer, friend. It's time to move on. It sucks, but it happens and it won't feel as bad later if you just end it now.

Hee hee, me too.

Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio---they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.

Excellent. So far I think I've got it... I can see the reports and modlog for the community. I will do my best!

I get what you are saying, and autism might be a reason but not an excuse. I agree with you that it doesn't seem like the girlfriend values the relationship. Maybe she is young and doesn't realize the effort you have to put into relationships, but if she doesn't want to make the effort nothing will change. It sucks, but it seems like these two people are not on the same page.
