Skwirl posted:But how would this raise a company's tax bill? Like I get that for a bunch of companies it just wouldn't help them at all because they were paying at the AMT already, but I don't understand how it raises it (I also don't understand almost anything about taxes, if online tax forms didn't exist I'm sure I would have accidently committed tax fraud years ago and be in jail now). It wouldn't, but it would basically a huge bill for corporate tax cuts, except big companies can't take advantage of it, so they're annoyed that someone else is getting the money instead of them. The tax hikes are mainly going to be on poor and middle class people, largely in blue and purples states

If you're in a big enough city I guess. but with kickboxing gyms you're kinda just stuck behind your own bag. CF gyms encourage you to actually interact with people.

Pretty much anything that is class involved is a good bet. There’s a good bit of chatting before/after classes and working together during classes. Except spin classes I guess. That’s a pretty solo workout. Don’t expect to pick up chicks if you’re just going to a gym and working out by yourself.

Also in my experience boxing gyms tend to attract the soccer mom crowd who want low impact fun workouts with their gals! Something about Crossfit attracts the kind of girl you use to get over another girl.

Sorry to hear that Shim. Don't live in the burbs if you want to get over a girl. Just older soccer moms who are waiting out the kids getting out of high school and young moms who are still thinking their marriage will work. Oh, I guess people who are happy.

Blitz7x posted:"hey handsome, that's a pretty big book you have there whatcha readin?" I was Disney War the last two times and because I was a bit embarrassed about explaining it to people (even though it's a great book) so I've started reading Elvis Costello's memoir which is also excellent. I'm a bartender at a restaurant so I get off around 11pm and need time to unwind before I go home and go to bed and for whatever reason I find it a lot easier to read when surrounded by noise and people.

Its Rinaldo posted:Tht seems like such a cliché that actually works? Haven't gotten any dates and haven't slept with anyone, but I've made out with some women and it's about fifty-fifty on any night that a girl will start talking to me. I'm working with a very small sample size here, like 6 times. To be clear, I don't do it as a method to pick up chicks, I do it because I get off work late and I sometimes want to do something before going straight home and I've been trying to read more and somehow being alone at a bar with a book seems better than being alone at a bar playing with your cellphone.

seiferguy posted:I really want to say 60% of my hookups have come from okcupid. It's astonishing what being a "woke" dude that isn't creepy will do on that site. This. If you look reasonably okay, can carry on a conversation, and show general interest in the person you're talking to, you will clean up. Keep in mind it's also a volume game though. During the peak of my online dating time I was sending about 10-12 messages/day on OkCupid and had about a 20% response rate. Of those that responded to my initial message I probably went on a date with about half of them, and ended up hooking up with around a third of those. So doing out the math I would have about 6 messages a week (assuming I sent 30 messages), 3 dates set up and around 1 hook-ups. A week. Honestly the hardest part was coordinating schedules for dates. I have some friends getting into online dating now and it's hilarious/sad just how bad at it they are. I tried to give them tips on how to write a good message (show common interests, be funny but don't force it and ultimately seem normal/don't focus on books/movies/tv shows at the expense of all else) and they just refuse to listen. edit: most people complaining about dating sites are usually failing one of the first three items. they either don't care about their appearance/have terrible photos, talk like  mixed with  , are so self-centered it's a huge turn off or are full in on  I guess there's also the people going for super models when they're an average joe/jane at the exclusion of everyone else but that sorta falls into the first category. axeil fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Dec 4, 2017 |

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Try a long term relationship I had a serious relationship from high school until 2012, and the breakup was so bad that I honestly haven't cared to pursue one since. Not that I'm opposed to it, just that grief and loss were such terrible feelings that I tend not let anyone get too close now. This really freaks out my sibs and parents, but I'd be cool with waiting until I'm 100% certain I could survive another heartbreak like that without turning into a misanthrope
