Probably because those products don’t actually boost your testosterone.

I think you should give Turkey some serious consideration. If I were your mom, I imagine I’d absolutely love it if you shared your passion for the local history with me.
I think Turkey should have wonderful beaches, but from there you could also travel to Albania, Greece or Italy quite easily. If those are too hot, you could go to Poland or Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia. I haven’t been myself, but I hear Eastern Europe has beautiful old cities and nature. Those countries are also pretty cheap!
Depending on how much you want to travel and whether you like trains you could get an [Eurail ticket] (www.eurail.com/en) for one or more countries. If you’re younger than 28 you’ll get a nice discount. There should also plenty of affordable flights.

So apparently telling your friend or acquaintance you don’t share their particular sense of humour is worse?
I guess I shouldn’t overthink a shitpost, but is it really such a social faux pas to tell someone your tastes are different from theirs? I just wonder if this is a cultural thing that I’m too Dutch to get, or of it’s more of a I’m-too-socially-awkward-to-have-an-opinion-of-my-own kind of thing?

My German is not very good, but I think “bruchstellen” basically means “yo mama!”
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 2 months ago:
Me and my brother combined our money to buy Cyberia (1994). This was a fmv (full motion video) game, which still seemed like a pretty cool concept at the time. We bought it because we were really impressed with the demo, which came on a CD-ROM that was bundled with PC Gamer or some other magazine.
The demo was a section of the game where you were flying around in some sort of aeroplane. The only thing you controlled was the gun. The enemies were superimposed on top of the video, which was fixed.
I enjoyed the flying sections in the full game, but there were also parts where you controlled the main character on the ground. You could only move him between fixed positions and postures, because fmv. In some places you had to shoot enemies, which required very precise timing. This was too hard for me at the time.
I think I kind of regretted spending my money on it at the time, but only a little.
- Comment on what do you think is the future of the internet and tech in general? 2 months ago:
When brain-computer interfaces are perfected our minds will be networked with computers and each other. The concept of privacy will seem very quaint to or children’s children.
Resistance is futile.

Honestly, if you’re that easily discouraged, maybe you should give up.
Ask yourself, are you passionate enough about telling stories and creating comic books? If this is your first comic book it probably won’t be very good. If you want to become a good writer you need to put in the work. Finish this graphic novel, reflect on what did and didn’t work and make another one, and another and another.
Even if you do become a good author eventually, chances of commercial success are very slim. For every writer that succeeds, there’s a hundred who failed. At the end of the day, the only thing that keeps struggling artists going is sheer love of the game.
Do you care enough about this story, that even if only your mom and a handful of other people end up enjoying it, it was still worth telling? If not, then you’ll never make it. If you do, then you probably still won’t make it.
From what you told us, your friend doesn’t sound like a great friend or critic. What is stupid about it? Why would that stop people from being interested? Even stupid things can be very entertaining. Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness is very stupid, but one of my favourite movies. Ask your friend for some constructive criticism or just ignore them.

Check it out! Over there is an old matras covered in colourful pillows. Sorry if it’s a bit smelly. In that corner there’s a beanbag, with a sweet-ass lava lamp and an old record player next to it. The lava lamp works with tea lights, but the record player doesn’t work because there’s no electricity. In the other corner there’s a cardboard box full of old Spider-Man comics! Pretty cool, right?
