Me as a #Forever28 : The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Live long and Prosper. 🖖🏽

A.k.a. I'm at that age where I no longer care. 🤪

I'm more concerned about: tearing the walls and building bridges. To put it another way, "Build bridges, not walls".

@SteveFoerster Yep! I'm enjoying it as well. It's like giving a new life to the franchise.

- Star Trek: Discovery is like a true close to the Temporal Cold War. A test if that far in the future is exciting enough.

- Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a trip down memory lane as well as a fan service, we've requested a Captain Pike series since the 90s.

But…

- Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is fresh air. A new life to the franchise. I'm #Forever28 and I'm enjoying it a lot more than DSC and SNW combined. For me, they finally went back to what Star Trek really is: tackling current real-world issues in a fictional story, the way many franchises originally were.

It's the Fiesta/Feast of a Roman Catholic saint, San Ildefonso, here in our locality. As expected, karaoke is everywhere. You get used to it. Afterall, I've lived here my entire life. 😆 Still, I'm at that age of #Forever28 wherein I highly prefer total silence and only hearing nature.

Sometimes I don't like watching the TV series of some actors I like, because they remind me I'm getting younger. The few celebrities I like are within my age bracket! 😁😝😅 Gen Xennials! Their choice of roles also changed. When watching them, it's like, "shots fired!" #Forever28

E06 of «Brewing Love» («취하는 로맨스» (chwihaneun romaenseu (lit. «Drunk Romance»))) was kilig to the max.

I'm #Forever28 but I'm a #HopelessRomantic this was good source for kilig moments. 😅 Don't rush this episode!

Things you realise once you reach #Forever28.

* You can finish and become rich in #SimFarm. But as a Forever28, you can't duplicate your success.
* You can win every single game of #CaesarIII and #CaesarIV, but not as a Forever28.
* You play #Diablo (the original) without cheating (especially the duplicate cheat). As a Forever28, you can't even imagine how you played Diablo without cheating.

Most important of all: you still don't like #eyecandy games. Games like #MUD / #MUSH (text-based online #RPG), #roguelike, dungeon crawlers, and isometric games, are still your go to #games.

Signs of someone who is #Forever28:
1. PM instead of DM
2. IM instead of messenger
3. IRC instead of chat
4. Webmaster, not webdeveloper
5. Programmer, not coder
6. <marquee> and <font> not CSS
7. MUD/MUSH not MMORPG
8. DOOM II not Counter-Strike
9. StarCraft, not StarCraft 2
10. "Mother's basement" not WFH (work-from-home)

I. Work/School:
* My first relationship: high school classmate, we were Grade 9, started dating Grade 10, lasted for 3 years, remain close friends to this day.
* Second: work, 3 months.
* Third: work, lasted 15 years.

II. Online dating apps
It doesn't work for me, at least the “modern” ones. I mean, there is no connection. Majority of people today, at least here in the Philippines, will not meet with you unless you “click” through the app already.

We have to meet for me to have any connection. Through online, it's only a chat for me.

Before these online dating apps came to be, here in the #Philippines we already have SMS-based chat rooms. I've been to, what was called then, “eyeballs”, basically, a meetup of two strangers or a group. I've had my share of meeting up with individuals, but we didn't establish any connection (other than the last one, she made a connection with me, but not me to her).

So, meeting physically through SMS/online app is nothing new to me. The problem is, people today just doesn't want to meet until you made them “laugh” with your text messages; or made them feel “loved” with your words. /facepalm

III. Bars and restaurants
I don't go to bars, and rarely to fine dining restaurants. Being #autistic, small talks are a challenge for me. ^_^;; I understand the logic and theory, but it will be very hard for me to start or engage in one. I'll end up either listening, or blabbering topics the other party finds boring.

Theoretically? I think I can find a partner in bars and restaurants. I understand the basics. I've read what cues and body reactions to watch out for. But I haven't tried it. And well, theoretical is different from practical. ROFL.

IV. Through friends
Nope, haven't tried asking any of them if they have a recommendation.

V. Blind dates
Not in the options. But, I definitely want to try this. I'm at that age, #Forever28, where I no longer have the desire to go through the entire process. I'll lay down my positives and negatives, my wants, my expectations, you do the same.

I've also been burned, too, and I realised and learned that what we “discover” during the entire dating process are useless. Most people “think with their hearts” instead of “feeling with their brains”. They'll tell you, “I'll accept you for who you are and whatever you will become”; but once you reach that stage, they run away. Or, they'll try to shape you to become their “dream and ideal boyfriend/girlfriend” and if they can't, goodbye!

So, lay down everything from the first or second meeting. Let's test each other's maturity. If we pass that stage or two, then that's when we should explore if we can make a connection.

I think, blind dates is a good platform(?) to accommodate “lay down everything”, without going through the entire process of dating like teenagers do. We're no longer teenagers, we're adults, so let's act as one.
