Once I was on a cruise that had one of these in the casino, which you had to cross through to get to the arcade.
As we (kids) passed, the ship rocked and a bunch fell. We started gleefully scooping them up.
An employee thought we’d played and won, but on explaining just made us promise to use them all in the arcade.
Mustache
Seven Pounds
Watched soon after untimely death of a loved one.
Spent like a week in bed after watching.
That must be why they installed it in all those football stadiums.
I’m ignorant of your situation in every way and probably not as knowledgeable or insightful as the other people who have already offered ample advice, but it bothers me enough to drop a comment anyway on the off chance I might help.
“… tells me I’m his ideal type…” is, objectively, way into creepy territory.
I’m not saying it’s necessarily unmanageable, but managing it requires an honest assessment.
This profile is likely to delude himself into believing you enjoy being in on this secret at a minimum.
To me it’s more likely he’ll cultivate the fantasy that you outright desire him and are only holding back out of propriety.
Like other people have said, protect your agency and your exit options. Keep your passport safe. Don’t drink with him. Identify someone nearby you would be able to call if you suddenly find yourself unusually tired or dizzy or feel trapped.
Or don’t what do I know. Just my thoughts based on very little.

That was my first reaction too, but then I thought there are probably positions in any large company where rigid standard grey soulless professional emails are an absolute requirement and would need to disable any flair.
Not that this probably changes things for the phisher. It’s not exactly a surgical practice to begin with, and this approach definitely shifts the average.

The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, the candy corn.
Wait until you hear about the shit take mushroom
I like to structure my comments as song parodies and see if anyone notices.
"Is this a real object, or just an interface?
This gets caught in a pipeline, no escape from transformations.
Any way the data goes doesn’t really matter to this service.

Take a look at the Shonen anime community. There’s a huge market for the same story repeated over and over.
It’s all about whether you enjoy writing it.
Idk last time we tried that, Parliament criminalized it and beat the shit out of us.
I’m imagining self sufficient (solar) stealthy mobile AI turrets that take out anyone brandishing a firearm while evading detection or capture.
Or maybe a nanodrone swarm that sabotages firearms.
Generally make it not worth the cost of enforcement.
I guess hiding the crops might work too… subterranean gardens and mirrors redirecting sunlight?
Really I’ve been thinking that connecting the communes with good communication and logistics might be the real silver bullet. Maybe they could form from scattered members who develop their own systems after being connected and thereby become too difficult to disrupt as a whole.
The bird of Hermes is my game.
Eating its wings because I maim.
I’m more in the camp of simple communal independence, but I guess historically that attracts the attention of rich people in need of saponification.
It kinda sounds like they started serving meat because they realized they were circling the drain and tried something desperate.
I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you’ve never actually known what the question is.
College non-gf had cat/monster eyes in that spot to make it look like *the booty was staring at you

I don’t even have the slightest memory. Apparently they didn’t make as mig an impact as getting a load of free quarters.
But it was probably some mix of the shooters, like Lethal Enforcers or House of the Dead, some of the side scrollers like Ninja Turtles or Simpsons, fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom or Tekken, a bunch of the ticket earners like skiball so I could get some amazing finger traps or erasers.
No idea what was in that specific arcade. Just a list of some classic favorites
