This is part of why confidence is attractive.
It isn’t that confident humans of the male reproductive caste treat women more flippantly; it’s that actual competency correlates with not being as much of an insufferable whiny piece of shit.

Always.
I prefer the p20x series personally but just about every mech pencil I’ve ever used from them has been excellent

- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 weeks ago:
Well, that’s the thing, they encode the data of the security chip such that it’s a type of “media” whose “content” unlocks the functionality and copying the written media content is how they legally frame it as a tortuously stretched “violation of copyright”
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 weeks ago:
they’ll make smaller shittier batteries that die more quickly so that they can charge more to replace them and put proprietary control chips inside them so either third party manufacturers of better batteries will have to “violate copyright” in order to make them work or YOU’LL be required to “violate copyright” to make them work, thus locking most people without the technical skills to circumvent the ‘security’ into only buying the shitty ‘official’ batteries until MORE regulation comes along to make them cut that shit out. In the mean time they’ll be blaming the regulations for the shittiness they adopted.

- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 5 weeks ago:
In your position I’d be donating some of that money that’s otherwise sitting around doing nothing. But then again, I avoid tv and streaming shows like the plague and have actual niche interests that inspire me. I see people struggling, feel a fundamental urge to help them, and sometimes DO when I can afford it… And that shit is like a DRUG to me. Generosity feels fucking amazing @_@ oxytocin, adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine, it’s ALL there!
- Comment on Would you consider me a “dry texter”? 5 weeks ago:
Do you perhaps fathom how unhelpful and standoffish single word replies are? Conversation is an exchange. If you are not at the very least matching their verbosity and sharing information that is also related to what they’re saying, you’re giving them very little to work with.
But I usually have the opposite problem: my prose is purple as hell. I’m ridiculously verbose and I over share to an absurd degree.

- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 5 weeks ago:
Fatigue.
We’re too distracted by struggling to survive our small local daily struggles to even SEE the big picture.
If there’s a time bomb in the room ticking down before your eyes, yeah that’s a big deal. If, in that same room, you’re also being attacked by a pack of rabid dogs though, chances are you’ve stuck a pin in the whole “what about the bomb” thing.
And if there’s a sniper outside the room preparing to shoot you without even a moment’s notice that you KNOW is there and that you can’t even see AS WELL, all you can hope for us that all the moving around you’re doing to avoid being dragged down and torn apart by the rabid dogs will throw off their shots.
They have BLINDED US WITH TRAUMA.

Y O U . - Comment on 2073 by Asif Kapadia. sci-fi docu. 2 months ago:
… personally, i wish aliens would show up and be like, “bruh.” to save a sapient biosphere from extinction.
But I don’t actually believe it’ll be that.
Probably more likely a total systemic collapse of the United States of America due to its critical infrastructure crumbling past a point where its economics can adapt resulting in a stock market crash that wipes out entire industries. Then a cascade failure of all the nations that were still relying upon them to remain functional that crashes just about every OTHER economy across the entire planet (though potentially not china maybe) and leaves almost the whole population of our entire species to fend for ourselves.
After the initial riots disable urban centers and local peacekeeping forces fail to quell them, the bureaucrats wholly owned by corporate sponsors will go full mask-off and call in private security contractor shock troops to exterminate the uppity peasantry and brutalize any survivors back into submissive complicity. Anyone who didn’t fight will be targeted for detainment via guilt by association. Personal property will be seized “for peacekeeping purposes” and anyone who isn’t working for the corporations or mounting a strong enough resistance will be captured and concentrated in forced labor camps.
Billions of us will die, possibly even more than half of our entire species, whether from lack of critical support systems (lack of food, potable water, medical care, and/or shelter that can protect them from extreme temperature), by exploitation of warlords rising to fill local power vacuums (including corporate-owned city-state enclaves), or in conflict between corporate enclaves and said warlords, all exacerbated by hotter and longer heat waves and droughts, deeper and sharper cold snaps, HARSHER storms, BIGGER fires, MORE floods, rising sea levels, and no organized reconstruction efforts.
There may or may not be a few madmen who decide to pull the doomsday triggers and kick off a global thermonuclear exchange out of impotent rage that despite all their destructive power they’re still about to lose everything and are lashing out in hopeless desperation.
2036 heralds the watershed moment that people realize we’ve entered the new dark age. There is nothing we can do to stop it, but if you start right now, you might prepare yourself and your local community to mitigate the hardship… even if only temporarily.
- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 2 months ago:
A beret and an ascot/cravat!
A fedora for the necktie like a 1950s hard boiled detective!
A pointy wizard hat and a robe!
- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 2 months ago:
With THAT hat? Definitely a bowtie. It’s a verticality balance thing. The hat is vertical so the tie should be horizontal. Now, if the duck had a WIDE hat, THEN you go for the long tie.
- Comment on 2073 by Asif Kapadia. sci-fi docu. 2 months ago:
so this takes place in 2073, and says it’s “37 years after The Event”
… 2036.
This is sending chills up my spine because this is the year me and my friends “joke” about “THE BIG ONE” happening. The big what exactly? Could be anything; whatever it is, the big mood is surrounding that SPECIFIC year. It’s been an in-group memetic reference in my circle for decades now. I think I first made an offhand remark about 2036 being when “it” happens all the way back in like 2003 or something
it’s probably just a coincidence.
…probably.
but damn what a coincidence.
