My girlfriend of 7 months & I are gonna break up any day now because we've been arguing every day over petty things for the past month and the tension rises. Even though I care about her more than *anything*, I found that I wouldn't mind as long as I could forget her & find someone even better. I also find that when I'm...
Anonymous asked: Hi this might be a weird question. I don't know. Anyway here it is: Lately I've thought about relationships, and I've come the the 'conclusion' that I'm not really, at first, attracted to girls sexually. Sure, I think that girls are 'hot' in that sense, but just as well as having sex with them, I'd like to kiss them, those sorts of things, and be more...
irrie asked: WHY U NO MAKE VLOG? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) But I also have a longer question. Do we have any idea how an eco-friendly (like FULLY eco-friendly) city, town or at least village is?

Anonymous asked: Hi Dean! My girlfriend is about to be diagnosed by psychologists, most likely with bipolar syndrome. She's often down when I'm not physically around to comfort her, but I'm always trying my best to make her feel a bit more positive about the day, and I make sacrifices that benefits her.

irrie asked: Hi! and thanks for my previous question.I have problem. I always hated bias. But I'm an atheist, and I have a friend who is WAY smarter than I am, and a very deep thinker, and he's also a Muslim. and I sometimes can't help thinking that it is highly unlikely for any religion to be true... and it leads me to think that his believes are silly in that topic, I feel like I'm...

Anonymous asked: Hi Dean! I've recently noticed that almost every time I meet/see a girl, I consider if I could be in a relationship with her, but it's not only new girls I meet.

I'm a 19 year old guy, and those...

strangestshadow asked: To that anon who asked about mouse acceleration - Absolutely no. Never. Always turn it off if you can. Mouse acceleration increases the speed of your cursor based on the speed you move your mouse - you kind of expect your cursor to go to from point A -> B when you move your mouse, but with acceleration on, it will move inconsistently due to the varied speed at which you move your mouse.
