Leaning can only be stated to be fearless when it's over the Grand Canyon.

Other canyons need not apply.

_{why is it so cold}

Probably the seasons getting their swing in for you complaining about the heat during your last summer. Turns out they get pissy when people can't pick a temperature and bloody stick with it.

Yeah, that's very true. I'm pretty sure I did bitch about the heatwave we had last summer. 'Twas foolish of me.
I know I cope better with heat than with cold, I'm not sure what prompted such stupidity. "Oh man, this sucks, I can't wear long sleeves without getting weird looks and smelling like a wet dog in a sauna!!" Well yeah, wow, great going, self, now you get to wear long sleeves and jackets all freaking day or else spend your time shivering in a miserable heap in the corner.

Aaaaanyway, moving on to my newest Rage: Unemployment provider kindly gave me a new phone to replace my broken one, so that I can try to do all the shit I'm supposed to be doing. I go to activate it online... and the service provider asks me for demands a current contact number. -_- Gee, they really thought this through, didn't they.

Sensitivity in romantic partners is very much a Good Thing 9_9 Emotional intelligence is always a positive, no matter if the call for it comes from a girly magazine or whatnot.

It depends on the person.

I am actually quite tired of this whole "ideal person" talk about everything. Everyone is the ideal person in the right situation.

This is usually just people projecting their likes and desires as a blanket statement for how everyone should act.

Emotional Intelligence and "sensitivity" though are two entirely separate things though. It kind of reminds me of someone who said that everyone should have empathy because they would "understand", but really just because you know how someone feels it doesn't mean you sympathize. Someone who is "sensitive" is someone who picks up and is swayed by emotion. Someone with a lot of emotional intelligence is someone who understands emotions (I usually think of emotional intelligence and emotional maturity as similar concepts and co-related)

Don't get me wrong I have my own preferences in who I am looking for, I'd prefer someone 'warm', but I am far too immature to really understand what I'd want in a person... but I wouldn't project it as something that is ideal overall.

Emotional sensitivity is great. Getting it from trashy magazines is not. "10 ways to secretly please your man" is as bad as "10 ways to covertly get your lady in the mood."

Honestly just put my rage right on that. I am honestly bugged whenever someone brings it up.

Yes I am sure Second World people, since there is no third world anymore, have no minor complaints that would be insignificant to no one else. That their desires and interests begin and end with pure survival.

I have no exact issue with either of those. They are very much things people want to know (It is one of those things that sounds WAY worse, then it plays out in reality), but they are usually just flat out garbage in the magazine and actually scummy in those articles.

My favorite advice I seen once was to have less sex but more flirting. I wonder if it works.

Co-dependence is a funny thing.

Guys, negative emotions is strictly forbidden if you are privileged.
Now go back to oppressing minorities. Or something.

Unless you're making a statement about the development of the Third World getting up to the point where the phrase conjures a wrong image of mud-huts and bugaboos, you got that backwards. Second World is the Soviet sphere, First World is the American/Euro sphere, Third World is "other." It's just been changed since then to the current understanding of "developed" or "not-developed" (developing is somewhere in there)

Obviously, with no Soviet sphere anymore...

* Descan eyes Putin eerily.

Well, anyway, "Second World" has gone out of fashion.

[Neonivek]

I go by a different system of First, Second, and Third world country... which is decided mostly by globalization (mostly by trade. A country lacking in world trade is a third world country)

Yet as time went by all countries go by second or first world.

Though yeah really these distinctions don't mean much anymore.

[Descan]

Hence why most actual policy and such is using the develop terms. I think only lay and casual conversation uses the numbered worlds.

Okay, this bugs the hell out of me. Because it isn't true, it's a twisted view of the world, and it's putting down other people all at the same time.
