probably. i don’t smile much and i’m quite happy and it seems to drive people into a rage when they ask me why I don’t smile and I tell them I don’t to fake it to make it.
- Comment on It is only half greentext, though amusing 1 day ago:
Some people are, some people aren’t. Plenty of us aren’t pack creatures and we don’t associate with pack-minded people.

I’ll never understand why it offends people that my job is just a job.
I guess other people lack imagination to realize other people are different than them and have different values/priorities in life.
I just want to get through he day so I can go live in my life. The fewer interactions I have means the faster the day goes. I also each lunch at my desk because it means I get to go home earlier.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 2 days ago:
yep pretty much. left/progressives have no coherent narrative. just a bunch of sub-groups all trying to co-opt the narrative and bickering over whose group is the most important. and the right just picks the most absurd group an blasts the rest of the left as being part of that group.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 1 week ago:
Not really.
You have realize COVID basically screwed ps5 for 2-3 years. The system is 5 years old, but effectively was only available since '23.

yep. they don’t like being questioned or doubted. especially so if they are spouting bullshit and lies.
- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
it isn’t.
but people interpret it that way. because it’s not ‘friendly’ to ask questions or be skeptical.
- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
speak for yourself.
I live in Cambridge MA. one of the smartest/richest places on the planet. Lots of people are stupid here and anxious and exhausted even making 300-400K a year and living lives of luxury and privilege.
the crux of it is they are just selfish jerks who don’t care about anyone else and are supremely overconfident about how genius they are…
- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
it’s not about smart vs stupid. it’s about skeptical vs gullible.
plenty of very smart people are gullible. and most people are gullible because it’s ‘nice’.
most of us who are skeptical are see as cold, mean, and anti-social. hence to be pro-social you have to be ‘stupid’ and believe in the nonsense everyone else is going on about.

You realize that’s how the world works?
Men or women, people are primarily judged for their physical attraction.

people want to be well connect and socialized generally are.

It’s an individual choice.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 4 weeks ago:
bingo.
plenty of science, scientsits, and science worshippers are dogmatic about science. scientism is a thing often leads to the same absurdities as extreme religious belief does
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 5 weeks ago:
very common in major cities.
maybe less so in rural areas where people don’t go to college.
- Comment on Why do narcissists have such fragile egos? 5 weeks ago:
Most people here dont’ seem to understand what narcissism is.
Go back to the myth. It’s not about feelings or egos. It’s about reflections. The key feature of a narcissist that most posts here are missing… the narcissist has no self. They only exist/validate themselves through how others see them. This is why it is their ego is so fragile. Because their ego entirely consists of how others perceive them. They have no separation of their own reality vs others perception. Their internal life is entirely consists of how others see them and without the constant affirmation from other people they cease to be. Hence why they can never be alone, and tend to form co-dependent relationships and be highly focused on image, not substance.
This is also why they are socially skilled. They mirror other people and that mirroring is generally considered flattering to most people. But if the mirror breaks down, or the subject upsets the positive feedback loop the narcissist has to reject/destroy them.
Non-narcissists have a self-image that is composed of a mix of how others see them and how they see themselves. Narcissists don’t have the ability to see themselves independent of others perceptions of them. That’s why normal people can shrug off someone not liking them or upsetting them… because they have something else to compare it to. A narcissist doesn’t.

Am I bitter that we are entering a recession? Or is it just a fact of the world?

Where are these mythical best people?
Because literally everyone I’ve entire life I’ve met, cares about superficial stuff like status. Every friend, every girlfriend, every family member.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 5 weeks ago:
It’s also an issue to have this form of generation fight. We as older men, also have an obligation to question the old ways and listen to the young people
No we don’t. I am an older man and I am dealing with all this nonsense myself. the old ways were objectively better for connecting and forming relationships.

Calling out shitty behaviour gets you shitcanned from the group. It doesn’t change the behaviour.

speak for yourself. my experience is it’s way harder and people are way more stupid and judgemental. nobody cared what car i drove. now people find out I ‘only’ own a Honda and they want nothing to do with me anymore because i am ‘not doing well in life’ if i don’t own luxury car.

No. We don’t. We don’t have a duty to do anything anymore than women do.

and if you’re black/Hispanic and you dress in a suit they won’t bother you either.
but if you’re white and tattooed and look homeless, they will.
It’s about class.

men can be very social and still get nothing but negative feedback.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 month ago:
pragmatically, most men and most women, who are feminists, think women are superior to men. and you’ll notice their arguments are all about how men should be more like women, and never women should be like men.

I was completely devastated, but my poor boyfriend kept trying to hold back his tears because he “needed to be strong” for me. Bitch no, cry with me, that was super heavy.
Yes, because most cis het women in this situation would have rejected you. I have been there. I was dumped by a 5 year girlfriend over the death of my father. She was disgusted with my ‘whining’ and thought it was pathetic that I was sad/struggling with it. I’ve never met anyone in my life besides my sister/brother who wasn’t disgusted by expressions of sadness, let alone tears.
