She could be like me and her room is nearly entirely clean but her broken brain is convinced that the single shirt on the floor makes her look disgusting. Took me a while to get over that.

I read the first paragraph in the quote and was all "red flag, red flag, abandon ship" and then I read the rest and I refuse to believe anyone is that dense. 3 years isn't a long time. If he did it when he was 18-22 then maybe he has changed, but he did it while he was 33 years old. Older than you are now. I'd triple bold this if I could.

I met a hardcore train enthusiast once. I asked him what he liked about them, and he compared the look of a locomotive to the venus willendorf. Later on he showed me a video of a 1/8 scale trainyard he used to have and I saw him riding one of them.

I really don't see how being passionate about train models is any worse than being passionate about anything else. I personally don't understand how anyone can focus on just one interest and dedicate their entire existence around it but shaming them or mocking them just seems really horrible?

I don't think liking model trains is something to be embarrassed about, but wanting to set up a model train exhibit to boost moral goes far beyond that. Also what kind of apparel does he wear that would cause an incident? Did he come to work in a full conductor uniform?

Think of model trains as the venus of willendorf and test nightly how far into your rectum H/O trains can go? Who cares. Make tiny model people with elaborate names and backstories who fit on the trains that you then derail, later delivering tiny notices of death to other tiny people who live on the other side of the set? No third date

I think in the old days, it was assumed that a grown man who hung around hobby shops and built model trains only did it because he was prowling for young boys to molest. Even though we're in the golden age of grown men holding onto their childhood interests, it seems like model train guys are still tainted with that icky-ness.

Reverend Lovejoy is a long-suffering model train enthusiast. I thought it was pretty much the original harmless nerd hobby. I heard there's actually issues because the rise of the internet and diversification of nerd hobbies combined with a complete failure to attract new people means there's a dwindling pool of people actually still into model trains, and a shrinking market as a result, but the internet can also attract new nerds.LabyaMynora posted:I think in the old days, it was assumed that a grown man who hung around hobby shops and built model trains only did it because he was prowling for young boys to molest. Much like comic book shops, the hard to believe part here is that young boys are still found in stores that sell model trains. They barely know that poo poo exists.

I don't care if he really likes trains and gently caress if he can afford a model train apartment, good for him. The weird part to me is how he can't seem to conceive of not talking to his coworkers about it.

I really like wrestling, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to strike up a conversation about it or bring in wrestling memorabilia or wear wrestling shirts to work. It’s not hard to comprehend that your interest that you think is normal has a stigma.

My [27F] bf [26M] wants to quit his job to drive for Lyft]quote:My bf and I have been dating for a year, living together for 3 months. We live in a big city so rent is not cheap. I make almost double what my bf does so I end up covering more rent than him and covering all of the utilities. This is almost one full paycheck for me (I am paid every two weeks). I am very lucky to have had the privilege of getting a college degree and I have a fairly good job in my field. But because of the costs I’m covering each month which also include any entertainment costs, all meals out and groceries, and my student loans, I live pretty much paycheck to paycheck.

One of my close friends has s dad who is totally normal and very blue collar, standard middle clad lifestyle and has other hobbies, but owns tens of thousands of dollars worth of model trains, both antique and new. Since he is a welder he also makers money on the side fabricating no longer commercially available replacement parts that look like the original part.

Let him quit, then when he hates having to drive for lyft you can laugh at him and tell him you were right. Then break up with him.

I can definitely imagine situations where it could be more restrictive and weird, but I don't think it's a guaranteed sign of weirdness? First day of dad gone. "PATRICIA, WHY ARE YOU NAKED.
