- Comment on investment 5 days ago:
I gamble very rarely and am fully aware of its expectation value. But when I do gamble I still enjoy it, in the same way I might enjoy an amusement ride. Sure I part with some of my money but it’s just the fee for some thrill and entertainment.
If you start thinking of it as a way to earn rather than waste your money, you’re lost.

It kinda makes sense at the back of the car, less so at the front
- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 1 week ago:
Long cutscenes that don’t let you save or pause when anything comes up that forces you to leave the keyboard or just focus elsewhere.
“Control” was the worst wrt this. I was just about to go to bed when it showed me a “cutscene” that went on for more than 30 minutes. Turned out later that you could actually go back to watch it again afterwards, but there was no indication of that at the time.

What the fuck is missing in the brain of these people. I feel like they are a different species.

Is this why I wake up at 3.30 with anxiety over something embarrassing I did when I was 15?

Until your toddler presses it and the OS just tosses all the work that you didn’t save yet. It’s good with a safeguard, and Windows will eventually force shut down after a timeout.

You don’t need to understand that. You only need to understand that it is a desirable outcome for people who say they want another baby, not why.

That requires friction between fingers and bag to be higher than friction between the two sides of the plastic bag, and for me it never is

The difference is that this hole contains a lot more E. Coli and my nose has evolved to be extremely sensitive to the smell of it because of the biohazard

I’m confused. Who is supposed to enjoy it, the licker or the lickee? It just seems like a nasty experience for everyone involved, especially with the enema I would require to get near the poop hole with my tongue.

The plastic bag is folded on the sides. I have much more success if I start by pulling there, than attacking the opening directly. Hard to explain but you’ll figure it out.

I’m not talking about feminists who actually know their stuff (such as most - but not all - who make podcasts on the subject). Those are niche subcultures. I’m talking about the self-proclaimed feminists on social media like TikTok, Instagram, or the comment sections on Reddit and Facebook. The people that the general public comes in contact with and who shape the meaning of our language. Your attempt at gatekeeping kind of underscores my point.

Under some older meaning of feminist sure, but 90% of the people who claim to be feminist these days think of it solely as giving women more privilege, and any discussion of men’s issues is considered anti-feminist. Whatever meaning of equality that there used to be is all but lost.

I’m scared to post this because people will interpret it as me being misogynistic. And that fact, IMO, is the biggest problem that men face. We’re not allowed by society to be victims.
