  Hang on to your butts!

  This is an over generalization. How can you support that this is true other than for yourself alone?

  Sometimes the unfiltered things I discuss in private are for the purpose of getting feedback. A brainstorming space without any of the regular inhibitions censoring free thought. I’m not looking for affirmation, but genuinely want to see what the unfiltered feedback would be, and am ready to change my option on a dime.

  Take this to the next level: you do this in your own mind / imagination before you speak. You think things that you don’t say. So is everything in your mind, even things you think are wrong and choose not to express, your true self? And you should be ashamed of shameful thoughts?

  Also what do you even mean by “true” self? If I act differently around different groups of people, which one is true?

  Wow base building and the bubble expanding? That’s decent. All part of odyssey I imagine? I’m still on horizons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game is it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of updates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon touches grass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels weird, but I agree with you, internet stranger.

  I often think about this too, though a quick search about house spiders did suggest to me they have a decent chance of survival through winter. I don’t think human structures have been around long enough for species to have adapted to be dependent on them.

  I hated it for being a clip show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes on a first date⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like you know what I was getting at. I recognize the danger women are up against and ultimately, even for trivial things, dating is a “free market” where everyone is allowed to ditch on a dime. I’ll defend that more strongly than my point above.

  I do object to the accusation I’m advocating for men making decisions on behalf of women. I meant my comment to apply for any combination of sexes/genders.

  The armchair theory I’m working from here is that the quantity of potential dates provided by online dating has changed the landscape in a way where people are less incentivized to give second chances. That helps some in some situations, hurts others in others. I just wanted to put a thought out there to not stray too far to one extreme of “anything that might correlate with them being a bad date is an immediate dealbreaker, because there are ten thousand other swipes waiting for me”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes on a first date⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not necessarily an easy problem to solve. I think the woman should have given him a chance and generally everyone should avoid reacting so strongly to “dealbreakers” on a first date.

  That being said, Anon can also consider not bringing up anime and video games right off the bat. It doesn’t mean you can never share this. It may be just fine given more context (you are moderate about it, still open to other things, etc.). We all make snap judgments that we regret later. It’s ok for you to help your dates avoid these (barring serious things like hiding if you have a kid).
