Maybe you should.

Everybody has fucked up self esteem right now: conservatives are in power.

As far as experience, there’s only one way to get that.

And for being a burden, just don’t be a burden. Your presence is not a burden. Wanting to find love or companionship is not a burden. You’re obviously surviving without them, now. That’s gotta show for something.

Just go on like two or three bad dates. Do your best, treat people like friends like how you’d want to be treated, take a shower and wear clean clothes. You’re gonna get rejected, you’re gonna run into people who you hurt or are hurt by you, you’re gonna get hurt. And that sucks, but it’s okay.

Be honest, if you want to find someone, you have to start doing that. Life is shockingly similar to RPGs and leveling up skills.

You have something to offer, so will somebody else. Relationships are about sharing. Find somebody worth sharing with who wants to share with you, too. Or somebodies… Life doesn’t have to be all about fulfilling or being fulfilled by a single partner, cheating is about breaking promises or assumed intent, love is not finite, only time. Look up “ethical non monogamy” (ENM) if that sounds viable to you. Requires a lot of emotional maturity, though, like high levels of emotional wisdom and self honesty.

I suggest just giving a few dates a real shot and seeing how annoying most other people actually are before you start putting everybody else on a pedestal. Even people who have their lives together can be the most unbearable people in the world.

Figure out what you like and who you are and do it meticulously. I’m also extremely picky but also wildly pansexual and used to be extremely confused by that. Another thing that might help is to lean into any known kinks or find out more about yourself, to further compatibility. After that, you just gotta go on dates and start figuring out what you actually hate in other people.

For you, diet sounds like a big one. It is for me, too, but not in a vegetarian way. I’m like the opposite, where everybody I end up meeting has super restrictive diets, and I really like most kinds of food.

I dunno. Dating and finding good partners feels easier than finding friends, because at least there’s an industry around finding potential partners and it also feels weirdly more socially acceptable to put out your sexual/partner compatibility needs than your friend/social ones; having specific friends standards seems really taboo.

Go to where you actually like to eat, because you’re testing out this person for long term compatibility.

Goddamn even The Onion can’t do shit this stupid, and they’re actively trying. Fox News is like a well funded version of those little magazines at the checkout line that talk about aliens and the anti-aging miracles of an uncooked eggyolk and beef tallow only diet.

Where is autism

This is well documented, that your car is one of the biggest sources of data to data farmers. Before we knew how bad LG and basically everything else is.

We used to have a word for it:

Spyware

“may”?

Get the sheriff of Nottingham to take care of it!

I don’t think that’s inherently a platform limitation though. Maybe an initial hurdle for people to join, but once you’re on here, you’re free to talk about whatever you want.

The real issue is that AI fucking scans everything you ever post, so most people don’t want to give out anything real anymore because - surprise - people like privacy.

That huge chunk of people who are aware of what’s going on in the world (weird conservative global takeover) and are tech literature is basically a circle, so you don’t get a ton of people on here divulging their hearts out.

Tldr basically, conservatives ruin everything.

Lol Reddit

I actually forgot about Reddit in the same way I forgot about Friendster… Which I want to point out is also still around and being used by real people, somehow.

This person believes in abstinence

Also, did they unban the post? Or is this just damage control?

This world needs more of you

Didn’t mythbusters or top gear do an episode on this type of stuff? Iirc they had two cars do something like this and it ended very poorly for the car with the spikes. I think the wheel ripped itself apart.

That looks very much not legal

I’m both unfamiliar with the comic and the author. What’s cringe about the author?

Is this cringe? What’s cringe about it?

Thanos: “wanna fuck?”

Yooooo descent destination saturn

Edit: i was curious why my brain remembers that name even though it’s nowhere, so looked it up: apparently “destination saturn” was the name of the bundled software version, which was slightly different from the main release which was just called “descent”.

I thought about talos, and while it’s a great game and a very high score, I just can’t get myself to put it next to what I would call the greatest of all time like sm64, oot, and ff7. Talos is too one note. So while it’s likely top most tier in whatever genre that is, it’s also weirdly not that well rounded and I would almost call it a niche game
