IDK man, the people with no or few friends tend to be weird but not really bad in any meaningful way: socially awkward, shy, odd interests, neurodivergent etc. Difficult to get to know, plain and simple. People with a lot of friends are often worse people, manipulative and/or have a transactional attitude to relationships

Bring a printed copy of your ESTA / visa for immigration. Get some kind of travel insurance that covers health emergencies, and have proof of that printed as well.

In other words, no good options. Few people were truly excited to vote for Kamala. That’s the issue.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 2 weeks ago:
There were no good options. And that’s because of the electoral system.
- Comment on Why do different ethnicities/races look different? 2 weeks ago:
Some features, such as melanin levels, are due to evolutionary pressures. High levels of melanin protect you from the sun, lower levels of melanin boost your vitamin D production.
Other features are just random. Over time, human populations were affected by random changes that weren’t exactly useful but not detremental either. They’re called sprandels. According to a quick Google search, blue eyes don’t seem to have any advantages, but not really any major disadvantages either, so that would be an example of that.

as cheap as it gets in my area
That’s not a very good approach to assess prices
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 4 weeks ago:
Neither my phone internet nor my home internet has a GB limit. The phone internet costs 25€ a month, and home internet 30€.
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 4 weeks ago:
They can be fucking annoying. Like we get it, you sit down and think you’re somehow superior for being different. Otherwise I take no issue with them.
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
Both of these claims are kinda misguided. The brain is able to detect very short flashes of light (say, 1 thousandth of a second), and other major changes in light perception. Especially an increase in light will be registered near instantly. However, since it doesn’t have a set frame rate, more minor changes in the light perception (say, 100 fps) are not going to be registered. And the brain does try to actively correct discontinuities, that’s why even 12 fps animation feels like movement, although a bit choppy.

- Comment on How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy? 2 months ago:
I agree with the be happy to be alone advice. That part is very important. However, a practical thing you can do, which you probably already know is hitting the gym.
It serves two purposes
- It makes you slightly more attractive
- It makes you aware that you are attractive
The second one is the more important one, but it can’t be attained without the first. You gain immense confidence by seeing yourself in a new light, as somebody that you yourself think is attractive. Going to the gym is also doable for most people, and while it is hard work it’s not difficult.
Ten years ago I started going to the gym. I gained a lot of confidence. I stopped going after a few years, but the fact that I know I can boost my attractiveness and confidence if I put in the work still makes me a happier, more confident person.

Time to self host videos again, would be kinda cool. And a lot cheaper than 20 years ago.

6’2" is still 9 inches taller than the average woman in Utah. Is Park City some kind of extreme international anomaly?
- Comment on Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad? 4 months ago:
I just went sailing for a few days. On the small sailboat, we don’t have a fridge onboard. Stuff like this can be stored in room temperature, so I can definitely see the appeal for it.
