I got a question I'm gonna ask for a friend, and I need serious fucking answers because I'm a helpful guy and I--I mean he can't fuck this up.

[Here goes. Asking for a friend. Just listen to the confidence in his tone because he is doing somebody a solid here. And not talking about himself. Not at all.

Y'all he might also be drunk.]

This guy's pretty with it and cool but he got a hot boyfriend all of a sudden and we got important couples-related holidays coming up in the next few months that he's never done before. That shit takes planning. So... what I'm askin' is how do Valentine's Day and White Day work for two dudes? I--my friend doesn't have anybody else to ask about this, so he asked me, and I'm asking you guys.

Keep your sarcasm and smartass comments outta this! I'm trying to help a guy out here.

...[Yep.] Thanks.

That isn't the same as spending a lot of money. That's not having enough money to live. There's a difference.

Spending a small amount when you don't have much can mean more than spending a lot when it's available. Isn't there a famous story about that very thing?

[He was talking about The Gift of the Magi.]

Was spending your winnings an actual sacrifice?

[chronicgambler]

Dude you are making me McFucking Paranoid. He's happy with it!

Yeah it was a sacrifice! I couldn't lose for two whole days!

[despairing_hope]

How is that a sacrifice? And, I'm not saying you have to make a sacrifice.

[He felt his point was being lost.]

Though, winning something isn't a big deal, you just need luck, or to be good at the game.

[His point is 100% lost on Dice Arisugawa, I am so sorry. What this man thinks the point is and what the point actually is are two totally different things.]

Luck's no joke! Don't talk shit about that kinda thing! I used up all my luck for two weeks winning enough to get him a present! But... shit. Maybe I can do somethin' else. I didn't realize holidays were this complicated...

[despairing_hope]

Proper skill is worth more than luck. Even if you had all the luck it wouldn't make anything that much better.

Probably.

[Says the guy who has so much luck he can't lose even if he wanted to.]

Exchanges of affection always are.

[chronicgambler]

You clearly don't get how I operate, but whatever. Luck's the only thing I got goin' for me, til now. I gotta... do somethin' with that. Maybe I'll hold out til the day before Christmas and see if somethin' exciting happens!

[There he goes, living on the edge again.]

Shouldn't bein' affectionate with somebody be easy, though? If you like 'em it oughta come naturally.
