Yeah they’re super jesus-y. They had the whole thing back in 2012 where they fired people for being lgbtq+, their owners fund a number of Christian political organizations, and they aren’t open Sundays. Not sure if they franchise or are all corporate, but I think they might even have rules that franchises can’t be open Sundays. There was another story where they claimed religious discrimination after an airport denied them retail rentals due to them being closed Sundays.

I have the sneaking suspicion that this is true. My life is pretty great, until I remember I’ve never been in a relationship and I get sad for the rest of the day.
- Comment on Trump’s tariffs resulted in a massive transfer of wealth from working people into the hands of millionaires and billionaire 1 week ago:
I think the math works out that you only need 23% of the total vote to win an election? Number from a mostly remembered YouTube video a decade ago.
Assuming 50% plus 1 in the 40 least populated states and no votes at all in the 10 most populated states.
- Comment on Trump’s tariffs resulted in a massive transfer of wealth from working people into the hands of millionaires and billionaire 1 week ago:
Tariffs are just a roundabout way to implement flat tax. That’s why they talk about how tariff income will replace lost tax revenue.

If you have to pay to go to grad school that’s the school’s way of saying you don’t belong there.

And in an ideal world, kids don’t get head injuries and don’t get cocaine smeared on them. But we don’t live in that world.
- Comment on No ChatGPT for sexy time 2 weeks ago:
And yet, cocaine is schedule 2 in the US, with legitimate medical uses primarily in pediatric emergency medicine.

I think there is benefit to society in creating alternatives to parasocial relationships with chat bots.
Until then, I see this as somewhat analogous to fighting ADHD by banning Adderall. Yeah, the drugs aren’t good for you, but the lack of them is worse.
- Comment on ‘We used acid to sabotage Microsoft hyperscale data centre construction’ 3 weeks ago:
Pretty minor. If they picked up the whole data center and soaked it in a large jug of 10% acetic acid for about nine months, the concrete would lose about 20% of its strength.
Not sure about the civil engineering side, but I assume there’s enough safety factor in your average construction to account for 20% strength loss.

Then it’s a problem of reading comprehension, because absurdism is not that. Absurdism is finding joy in action.
The only reason I have any remote ammount if happiness is that I broke the boulder. Sisyphus is a bitch.
Go wallow in your misery then.

Oh, I’m not implying you didn’t read the book. That part is extremely obvious. I’m implying that you didn’t even bother skimming the wikipedia article.
Not really sure what I can do with that. Maybe you’ll be better off wallowing?

Hmm. Well, it is pretty clear you didn’t do any reading.

Well, there’s a whole book about it. Matter of fact, the dude wrote many books on the topic.
Type “one must imagine Sisyphus happy” into your search engine of choice.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Yep! That’s how it goes.
You can see something similar if you look at Ukraine threads talking about Russians, or Gaza threads talking about Israelis.

- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 5 weeks ago:
I only noticed because the second time I sat on the other side of the couch she was sitting on to check when the fireworks were gonna be, and she straight jumped up and out of the room. I wasn’t like, close to her or leaning her way or anything.
I probably give off some kind of creep vibes, I just don’t really understand how or why, and at this point I have zero clue on how to fix it. Guess I just gotta accept that single straight women under age 50 avoid me like the plague. Old ladies at the yacht club love me.

I mean, I definitely don’t start convos the way people want me to start convos, either. Idk. Just had the weirdest experience last night. Two weeks ago, I met this girl who was pretty cool in a friend way. Also, she doesn’t swing my way, no problem. Cool person. So last weekend I went out with her and some of her friends. One of her friends was kinda cute, we talked a bit, but not long at all. Nothing I would consider serious. I wasn’t trying to hit on her. She didn’t seem uncomfortable at all.
Then last night, hanging out with the same group of people. This girl I talked to would straight up run away if I got within ten feet of her. Happened twice, and then I started avoiding her because like…clearly causing distress with my presence alone.
What do I do with that? I mean apart from keep avoiding her, cause clearly she doesn’t want to be anywhere near me.

It’s absolutely a skill issue by my age.
I have gotten dates at the grocery store before, which is where the second skill issue comes in: women don’t stick around very long.
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 5 weeks ago:
Lol I don’t get laid
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 5 weeks ago:
Eh.
I’m still in my mid 30s and involuntarily celibate. I’m just not an incel. I recognize this is a skill issue on my part, not the fault of women.
Fuck it, in a couple of years I’ll fuck off into the ocean and go sailing.
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 5 weeks ago:
Problem with that is that there’s a very small window in which saving an incel/femcel is easy. Before that window, they’re generally still normal but maybe withdrawing. After that window…interacting with them just kinda sucks. You need to have a certain willingness to deal with excessive self-deprecating sadness and basically make life worth living for them.
Incel/femcel communities stew in that toxicity, so it’s easy to add your own toxicity to the stew. Normal people don’t want to put up with that shit.
Source: a dear friend from back in the day dealt with my nearly incel ass, preventing me from falling all the way down the hole.

Have you ever looked at the color theory of economics? It was originally about cars. When the economy is nice, people buy fun color cars, because they like fun colors. Then the economy is shit, people buy black/white/gray/red because those colors maintain resale value.

Internet is just a really fast messenger pidgeon.

I see an immediate collapse followed by a quick recovery, personally. If the Internet goes down, a lot of other shit goes down too…until we get the old telegraph lines running again.

Nah, he let me try it. It just clicked off way easier than in any other model car I’ve been in.

I had a friend who bought a BMW a while back. The blinker literally didn’t stay on. You know how in most cars, you move the blinker and it kinda stays in place and blinks until you turn the wheel? Yeah the blinker in his BMW didn’t do that.
