Now, by eating out, that isn't going to pick up a kebab or a slice of pizza and a coke(about 5-10USD/person), but sitting down at a cafe or restaurant. That was the distinction that had me confused.
Personally, I'd rather stay in and cook a nice meal for friends than go out and drop $30-40 in exchange for being surrounded by strangers while we're at it. So more "formal" (mileage may vary) dining isn't especially important to me.
I just couldn't imagine people cooking all their food at home. I do that by choice, but many lack either the ability, the drive, or the time.

Or I should say they eat at home. Not necessarily a full cooked meal.

1.) buy a sailboat.
2.) learn to sail.

Sure, but let's not pretend that bachelors (and whatever the equivalent word for a single woman would be) don't exist who could find a way to burn a microwave container of ramen. For me, grabbing a snack at --insert name of fast food place here-- happens maybe once every 3 months, but I have plenty of friends who would risk starvation if their significant other couldn't cook (several of my ex-boyfriends, come to think of it) or cheap food options closed down.

hunger is a hell of a motivator, they'd figure it out.

On the other hand, phone service here is cheaper. Waaaaaay cheaper. Sure, because a telecom in Denmark or France or what have you only needs to cover a rather small space. The monolithic, exploitative telecoms we have in the US are partially a result of it being nearly impossible to build a competing infrastructure to serve one of the largest continuous nations on the planet.

Equivalent word would be bachelorette. I always think of irritating girls about to get married and flaunting that fact in the middle of my gay dance club, so I kind of hate that word. On top of them being obnoxious and female, they appear to not understand that we're one of the few remaining states where their drunken *** can get hitched in half an hour's time while all the hot men around them are left adrift.
Not that the average barely-21 twink idiot is worrying about getting married, mind you.

I found that a tad annoying. The attitude behind it. "Let's go to South Congress and dance at all the gay bars!" There's a weird level of undeserved stereotyping. If I find it grating, I can't imagine how annoying it is to gay men.
It's one thing if you're invited by a gay friend, but it's another thing to make it a novelty, you know? When some friends or acquaintances have worn that mentality on their sleeve in gay bars, it makes you a little uncomfortable and unwelcome seeing some of the expressions from the gents that are around.
Little awkward. I don't know how to really explain it.

Followup question: If you have a family plan, what's your stance on adding a line?
One more question: What's your stance on adoption? Specifically, an older child. Like, way older. Already house broken.

I don't think it was Aesop, but it may have been based on it.
It was a fairly modern children's book 24 years ago

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Continuation from: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/2873/ffxiah-linkshell/732/#150486
Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
