I got divorced from a 10+ year relationship in my late 20s, and then had a nasty, bad breakup from my first relationship after at 30. I had a small group of friends that stuck around, but lost many in the process of each breakup.

I never really kept in touch with people from highschool and earlier, though, so I can’t comment on them

Things do get better. At 35 I’m now in a better relationship than I ever had before. I have new friends and new circles. A new chapter in my life was started, and things are better than they ever have been before.

I don’t know if this will work for you, maybe it doesn’t work out sometimes. But guys can, and do, recover from it.

Ventrilo would like a word as well

If you were a non-steam gamer you’d have a little extra work cut out for you, but steam literally runs natively

For two and three, even if there weren’t a genetic component, the lifestyle and dietary habits of a family absolutely do impact the next generation of the family. Learned behaviors that increase the risk of alcoholism or heart disease absolutely count as “runs in the family”. Further, “runs in the family” never meant “everyone in the family absolutely has it”.

(None of this directed to the comment I’m replying to, just continuing the thought of the comment.)

Or the third option of they recognize that scientifically Pluto is a dwarf planet and no longer a ‘full’ planet, but they also anthropomorphize everything to an unhealthy degree and don’t want to hurt the feelings of Pluto by saying it isn’t a planet anymore
