Question to Iranians: How has the uprising and war affected your dating life?

I hope this isn't an inappropriate question. Because I saw on twitter a persian girl in the US who wrote about how she went up and left the dinner date when the guy started expressing support for the Iranian regime. The date had gone very well up until that point. Suffice to say, she blocked him and never contacted him again

For those of you who are singles and done some dating during this time, how has it affected your dating life? How would you react if someone you dated started repeating IRGC propaganda? Could you imagine yourself dating someone who praises the Islamic regime?

How is the safety for the locals themselves?

There are endless threads and discussions about how safe Colombia is for foreign travellers. There are many stories about foreign travellers who've been drugged and robbed etc if they're not careful.

But how is it for the locals themselves? One advise I've seen often said is that tourists should not walk alone in the poorer neighborhoods, otherwise they'll get robbed and what have you. But how is it for the native locals? Do they sort of get a 'free pass' for lack of a better word? If a local guy dates a local girl, is there a risk of him getting drugged?

I can imagine that foreign gringos may be juicier targets for the criminals. But do native colombian locals have to be as careful as foreign tourists?

What do you do when teenagers laugh at you in public transport?

I was sitting in the metro and a couple of teenage girls were sitting a bit away from me. For some inexplicable reason they kept looking at me and laughed at me and made me very uncomfortable. They pointed at me and giggled.

I was not wearing anything unusual or acting weird. It was just my daily commute. I did glance at them a few times which just made it worse. If you were in such a situation, how would you have handled it? I thought about approaching them and asking them what they were doing but I didn't wanna risk escalating the situation

Afraid of not getting a response

During my childhood, when I tried to approach my peers and talk to them, I was often met with silence and was ignored. That's why it was difficult for me to find friends. And this has seeped into adulthood now where if I'm in a conversation, I'm very scared of saying something and then not getting a response.

How can I overcome this fear of being met with silence when I say something? I feel like I'm tailoring all my speech on trying to get a response from the other person. What do you do if you say something and the other person is silent?

Terrible feeling of being left behind

Well, it's often talked about how lonely gen Z is and how difficult it is for the new generation to get friends or find a romantic partner. You may think you have it bad. But I dare say that for me it is worse. I was born in the 80s, and most people from my generation have kids, families and probably some divorces under their belts. And here I am, completely alone, without anyone caring about me, or anyone to care for. I have a stable but unfulfilling job.

I feel so abandoned by the world. People talk about how bad divorces are, but I'm jealous of the guys who even have had divorces. They have at least experienced marriage and family life. They at least have children that they love and care for.

I mean, I've had relationships in the past that failed for various reasons. Some failed because it was their fault, some failed because I fucked up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suicidal by any means and I vehemently oppose it But I just don't know what the meaning is anymore. Sitting alone in cafes and restaurants, seeing all the couples tears at the fabric of my soul.

I myself know that couples are not happy by any means, god knows I myself have been in relationships, but fuck, I rather be in a dysfunctional marriage any day over this oppressive crippling loneliness. Hell I'll even be a divorcee. Everything feels hopeless and I feel like I'm living in a spiritual black hole. I feel like my social caste is lower than the dirt under people's shoes. I have no friends left, they've all passed me by. I just wanna go far away somewhere

Sorry for this incoherent rant. English isn't my mother tongue. If I offended anyone, then it wasn't intentional

Can't start a standard game?

Anyone else having this problem? I can queue up for Wild without any problems. But I can't queue up for standard. I'm on EU server

Does your main class change every season/expansion?

I've noticed that I seem to rotate my mains every season. For example, in the last two seasons my main was Rogue. This season however, my main is Druid. And no it's not because Druid is top-tier. I simply like the playstyle of Druid this season. I always liked the Token archetype.

Whereas Rogue is my overall main, I just don't like Rogue's playstyle this season. I don't like either herald or imbue, although I can understand that other people like those decks. But it doesn't do it for me

What about you? Does your main change each season?

Anyone else hate playing this card?

I know that statistically speaking, this is one of the better cards since it is widely used in minion based decks. But it just feels so terrible to play, especially if you get it in your opening hand and you need to establish some early tempo. Feels terrible when the opponent removes it and discards your card.

Even if you play it late game when you can afford the mana to play the card it draws, it still just feels terrible to play. Not sure how to explain, but I don't like the feeling of its mechanics.

Anyone who feels similar?

AITAH for walking away from a girl without saying goodbye?

Gonna try to summarize this as good as I can. I was in a relationship with this girl. It started off well enough. But as time went by, I noticed that I was the one maintaining the relationship, I was the one trying to move the relationship forward. Our frequency of contact gradually became sparse. When I tried to contact her she was always busy and in a roundabout way she conveyed to me that she'd contact me whenever she had time

At the end of it, she'd only contact me once every week for a 20 minute phone call.

I tried to talk to her about it. She gave nonchalant answers like "I'm busy. If you don't like it, we can stop contacting each other." In the end, I realized that things weren't going to work out if she could let me go this easily. I'm not gonna be together with someone who is willing to break up with me at the drop of a hat whenever there's friction.

So one day, I just went cold turkey on her. Instead of having another discussion that would go nowhere, I blocked her. No goodbye, no final message airing my grievances or anything. I just blocked her and walked away.

Here comes the part though, after 2 months she tried to contact me again. She messaged me through a different app. But she wasn't exactly regretful. She wrote things like:

"What happened?"

"You've left me confused"

And she ended her string of texts with "Since you won't communicate like a normal human being, I'm saying goodbye. Hope you find a suitable girl".

Suffice to say, I didn't respond to a single one of her messages. My every attempt at communication had been met with her nonchalance and then she says I don't communicate. I interpret that she only has a selfish desire for closure.

Well, so that's why I wanna ask you, AITAH?

It's amazing how Thalnos has stood the test of time. He's never been busted or rendered worthless by the powercreep through the years. He's never fundamentally changed the playing patterns of any class or deck archetype.

While he may not exactly be a top-tier card, he's never a bad addition to any deck. He's always useful to some extent in any deck and fits right in. Like a buddy you can always rely on

The devs at the time really hit a jackpot with his card design

I wanna travel to La Marsa. So I was wondering about the safest way to get there from the airport. The thing is, my flight will land at midnight so I'm a bit worried about safety particularly because I know neither french or arabic.

Are there buses that go from the airport to La Marsa? Are there any safe taxis to take? Are most taxi drivers in the airport scammers? Would be grateful for any information and advice

I'm a bit confused, it's been a very long time since I played FM 3. I'm currently playing on the Alisa campaign and I've escaped Japan. I've just arrived in the Phillipines rebel camp. Up until now, I haven't seen any new weapons or parts in the setup section or forum shop. The interface is extremely confusing.

Have I missed out on new equipments or haven't they appeared in the shop yet? There doesn't seem to be a dedicated shop section in the menus

So I've started on the FM3 remake and I gotta ask an embarassing question. How do I quit to the main menu in-game? I see no option for that in the in-game menus and the only way for me to quit the game is via alt+tab. Pressing esc or B(on gamepad) is of no use
