I wish you fortune in the future benmaimoon :)

I love you too NebularCarina, no matter what you say lol.

I guess I'd say that I like how prestigious of a country it is historically. It's got culture, cuisine, and craftsmanship like no other. However, the unfortunate thing is that if anyone follows European news, one would see that Italy's not got a bright future, which is why I'm looking to get out of this aging country as soon as I graduate. Which is why I must work hard! Lots of kids in Milan live off of old money, which lets them get away with basically anything. I know kids my age who own four apartment complexes in the same building, goes to luxurious resorts in the Maldives during the summer, and spends all their weekends drinking and engaging in uncivilized activities. I actually have to work hard to get somewhere, and I hate how society allows some of these spoiled brats to get away without doing much work at all. Anyways, I'm rambling, I'm sorry, it's a sensitive topic for me :(

hi my friend anyth1ng. I don't think I'm adorable, but I will most certainly accept that compliment.😊I'm just good-ol' geospliced trying to be as happy as I possibly can. Interacting with the vlr community makes me happy, and you're one of the users who helps vlr make me happy, so may the winds always blow in your favor.

Remember to not rush it! And look to set yourself apart from other guys. What makes you special? Find it, and amplify it and show it to the best of your ability to truly captivate others.

I love playing Valorant in the weekends, I like writing stories during breaks at school, and I also enjoy cooking for my friends when they come over. During holiday breaks, I like to visit zoos/aquariums of different cities, and I like to take walks downtown and go out for some boba or delicious treats. When summer holiday arrives, I enjoy traveling to distant countries, and spending time with family and friends mainly through karaoke and stuff. I really like singing and meeting/interacting with new people too! Hope that answers your question but I could most certainly find other things I like to do.

I had two subjects I loved when I was young, and I still do to some degree: geography and geology. To splice means to bring them together. So, geospliced basically means me, because I am a product of the things I'm curious about and love. Hope that helps!

Never tried, but I've heard great things about it.

Yes I am, I am maidenless and in my opinion that sets me apart from all the irresponsible mentally damaged nobodies trying to gain clout by copulating with the popular girls in the restrooms. Of course, call me a loser or something but I think it's best that I get to those activites when I'm older.

Dear Zastio,
I understand how you feel, and although I haven't made any progress in the romance sector of my life, I'll give you some tips to get started on what I believe should be the right path.

1. Take it easy/slow. Nobody likes some random person who approaches them out of the blue. Start by saying hello, good morning, or any such greeting that is appropriate when passing by each other (I'm assuming you don't know her well).
2. If you get replies, that'd be a good sign. That means that she acknowledges your existance and that she's willing to put effort into interacting with you, although a simple greeting might not seem like much.
3. What I do to get friendly with a girl (but this applies to anyone really), is that I offer help. Offer some help on subjects you're strong in, and if she's doing fine academically, maybe offer to study together (this I've tested and the results are pretty good).
4. Have meaningful conversations. Once you warm up to her/she gets warmed up to you, have some meaningful conversations! Being sincere will really distinguish and set you apart from any other guy who's just trying to get into a relationship (I trust you have good eye). A nice convo starter I utilize often is "What are your plans for the future?" This topic could start a long, meaningful conversation that will not just help you get to know the girl better, but will improve your relationship as a whole. If she doesn't know, then ask her what she likes to do or smth, and offer some career paths that she may like. (This only works if you're a student).

That's about all I've accomplished. I'm sorry I can't help that much, but I hope it was of some use to read all that.
Good luck and best wishes,
geospliced

First of all wait 3-6 years for geospliced himself to establish some form of a life for himself, and you can choose to either approach him during Uni, or after that.
Second, you must establish a positive relationship with him, and treat him with respect and whatnot. You must be genuine and sincere in your interactions, and if he reciprocates your goodwill with his own, then that could only mean advancement in your relationship.
Third, have him ask you out or ask him out yourself. Marriage should be the final product of dating. You should spend a decent amount of time with geospliced. He is not very needed, but when he does he expects you to be there to listen to him vent about life or something like that.
Fourth, get engaged. After spending a large amount of quality time together, geospliced might propose to you or something. If marriage is your ultimate goal then saying "yes" should be the answer you're looking to give.
Fifth, get married.

What the heck did I just write...?

What I usually do is I approach someone and ask how their day is going. Then, I follow up by asking about their future plans (since most of the people I meet are students). After that, if I need to end the convo, then I'll say something among the lines of "pleasure to be acquainted", and I'll have officially established a positive relationship with that person. Now, depending on how the person reacted throughout the conversation, I have the choice to either further expand the relationship into a friend-relationship by talking to them more, or if I deem them uninterested/ing, I'll just stop talking to them. If after getting acquainted, the person initiates small talk and greetings, then I see it as an absolute win. Well, that's how I do it, but everyone has different ways of making friends. Good luck making irl friends!

I've most certainly met some strange characters in my city, but people's attitudes towards life and perspectives usually differ heavily in Italy due to wealth gaps and whatever. I don't think there are that many strange people around here, but perhaps I've not been looking in the right places.

I've never had one before, but I'm assuming you have to start by being nice to them or something generic among those lines.

I live in Milan, Italy. It's a large city in the Northern province of Lombardy and it also boasts the highest GDP among all the other cities in Italy. :D

Yeah, I'm sure you could visit a factory or smth and buy the raw graphite. Pretty sure it's a byproduct of doing something to coal so it should be relatively easy to buy.

Brilliant question. I believe graphite is sold commerically? I'm not exactly sure, I'll have to look into it. However, U-238 on the other hand is a different beast in and of itself. I'd probably have to embark on the long, torturous journey of becoming a scientist/chemist and finding work in a nuclear reactor involving the usage of U-238 to even get a chance of stealing some (I don't think they'd let me just take some for free). Of course, I might die if I do but that's irrelevant to the question.

Yeah I have no clue either karaokes in my city suck ass.

Dear ilovefrozencranberries,
Why, I personally do not enjoy donning such long socks of the pattern you mentioned. However, if I imagine it on a person of my liking, I could certainly see it as a clothing item I'd prefer to see regularly.

Hope that helps,
geospliced

I photoshopped my ID so I could enter an 18+ karaoke. Good question.

But of course my dear geospliced! It's got to be a tie between a creamy potato puree and fries.

I want to be first! What is your favorite food involving potatoes in the cooking process?

Hello, I'm geospliced, and my friends don't want to talk to me, so I'm turning to you, the vlr community, in search for interesting interactions. Please, feel free to ask me any question and I will answer it to the best of my ability. I'll try not to be boring. If you do not want to indulge in this activity, I understand, and I hope you all have a fantastic day.
Best regards, geospliced.

Buon pomeriggio, I hope you're having a bright day and that you're doing smashingly.

I'd be surprised if they lose Ascension and a team like Wolves, Nova or TEC doesn't pick him up. (Ik some of them have good chinese duelist but I think stew easily outclasses.)

I think people overlook him because of how new the CN scene is...

stew

Yeah idk they could probably just give Foxy9 the flex role or smth...

DSYRE smash these guys 2-0 lol.

Here are my predictions:
Qualified Group A: RA, NIP/NWG
Qualified Group B: ASE, DRG

Oh then yeah GE might be very underwhelming this tourney.

If kids are the problem just make it so vlr has to verify an ID or smth and put an age limit of like... 16+ or something. What if there's a vlr user who does not play Valorant and therefore does not have a rank?

I mean, I don't consider myself low rank but I'm sure there are esport enjoyers who are low ranked and can still hold a good conversation. I just don't think rank should even be considered in the equation when determining the value of a person in a conversation. As for the flexing messages, then yeah that's obvious braindead+fatherless behavior, those people should just be ignored. I understand where you're coming from tho.

That'd be a good idea. I'm not against it.

There are some matches that are somewhat of a 50/50 to me. For example, idk how the new GE roster is going to fare against teams like Furia and Vitality, but at the same time Vitality isn't known in EU to be a top team anyways.

That could potentially disencourage meaningful conversations though. Low ranked people may feel uncomfortable talking if they see a high rank, and high ranked people might be so egotistical to the point where they straight up refuse to talk to low ranked people/use their rank as a means to show some nonexistant superiority or smth.

I doubt I'm right for a bunch of these, I don't follow APAC too much and I don't watch a lot of Team Vitality. But here are my pick'ems!

I'm sure it did. Respect <3

Bravo! I really like your use of diction in writing this heartfelt message.

One of BeYN and MiKa if not both is/are going to have to return due to the 1 import rule in the CN League.

I disagree. Many of us aren't immortal, and I know plenty of good folk on this platform who are included in that many I mentioned. I am aghast at your idea and I hope you rethink your suggestion.

No problemo!

Welcome to vlr, jemackle. I'm geospliced, and I hope I can get to know you better through conversations on this platform. Have a fantastic day.

Yeah, I don't follow other sports either so I'm pretty biased towards football/soccer.

I mean, it's a sport. It's all subjective, so I get where you're coming from. Thank you for respecting my opinion, and I most certainly respect yours too.

Right on.

Lmao

Well, I disagree with your statement that everyone is basically at the same skill level, because it's very obvious when one persons dribbling or shooting is better than another. However, you're right that often the game is decided by very few goals, which in my opinion makes the game more exciting, because that allows for so many exciting upsets and revenge storylines lol.

To be honest, I agree.

hell yeah
