Lol I feel that, older ladies have always loved me too, and I haven’t historically had a problem with that…
Yacht club is beyond me, but bar milfs we’ve always clicked.
Yeah idk she’s definitely not into it, but I’m not Truman Showing you so I’m at a loss as to why. But that’s the “no” you take for an answer and move on, ask another, fuck it.
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 3 days ago:
Yeah idk what I’d do with that either, idk that I’ve ever had that reaction (if I have I just never noticed). I mean “completely ignore” seems like what I’d probably do tbh, definitely never interact again.
Is that the right move? Fuckin’ idfk lol. But that’s what I’d default to.
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 3 days ago:
Ah well shit, maybe then idk. I have the opposite problem I guess, hard to start a convo, but if I do I can usually keep people around.
- Comment on [OC] Anon is a femcel 3 days ago:
Tbf it’s not entirely a skill issue (while still not being the fault of “women”).
The fracturing of society for starters isn’t helping, many people isolating due to that, and phones/social media/doomscrolling etc, many isolated during covid and still haven’t recovered to their old ways, many can’t afford to do shit else these days even if they did want to break out of it, none of that is helping and it’s a serious societal issue bigger than “skill issue” in reality.
Also the commodification of dating isn’t helping any, you have to be on and pay for the hook-up apps as a barrier to entry, or pay for (your own I don’t just mean hers) drinks at a bar, both of which are more conducive to hook-ups than long term partnerships. Short of that “get a hobby, make friends, and hopefully one of those friends will set you up with someone.” So basically if you’re a FOSS/privacy advocate who doesn’t drink much anymore and hates the idea of listing profiles like you’re a dog up for adoption, your only option is to pray.
The only other option is to go back to the old ways: Its a numbers game. Just ask, politely and take no for an answer (and not like, lewd, like ask for a lunch date or phone number or something), but ask, anywhere and everywhere, doesn’t matter if it’s now “uncouth” to ask in say the grocery store, fuck it. If she’s into you it’ll be fine, if not, fuck it who cares worst she can do is be rude and you’ll never have to talk to her again. I don’t do this now because I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but so far figuratively praying hasn’t worked and literally closing out bars (has become too expensive ffs but also) has only led to fleeting infatuations and FWBs, and while those are fun I’m looking for more than that, so, we’ll see maybe I’ll try it.
It’s a skill issue to a degree, but also dating has been negatively affected by a general trend of social isolation, the economy being bad, and the same social media brain rot that has affected everything else along with it, on top of that.

Tbf that’s a decent use of tax money imo, and I’m the only one I know complaining about taxes being wasted.
I’m also an (ex) vandal, so I have some perspective I suppose. It’s likely that the tags on the side were done for normal tagging reasons, “I exist, everywhere you look in this city you’ll see my name, yadda yadda,” and they may have tagged the windows, but the real destruction of the windows was likely some very angsty teen who feels like they have no control of their life (and unlike the taggers) their anger makes them channel it into pure destruction rather than the “destruction” with the paint that creates art.
Personally, I love creative destruction, destroying something to create something new is always interesting to me, be it graffiti or an art installation made of old broken CRTs or something, but pure wanton destruction out of anger is a waste imo.

- Comment on AI banners: what owner sees vs what I see 3 weeks ago:
Tbf, something in a store has to be available before you can steal it, if it is sold out or not yet released it’ll be harder.
And really in this context “theft” is like “piracy is theft,” as much as I also don’t like AI, nobody else was deprived of the banner simply because db0 generated it.
And tbf, “well it was trained on actual artist’s work” and so was almost every artist in history, that’s kind of how it works to a degree. The greats separate themselves but a lot of human created art is derivative.
I mean there’s plenty to get mad at AI for, personally I’m not a fan of how people are using it as a brain replacement, how it enables further the ubiquitous spying, how people want it to replace humanity, oh and y’know literal actual murder robots in the form of autonomous loitering drones is probably a bad idea, and coming soon to a town near you. But that said “theft” isn’t super high up on my list, personally.

“Stupid bitch thinks he’s smart because of his college degree but doesn’t know dick about machining.” Is a less sexist and more accurate interpretation, your degree doesn’t mean you’re better or smarter than anyone else just because they chose another path. This has fuck all to do with sex, race, whatever.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 3 weeks ago:
By far. Such a disappointment.
And Fallout 4 was the same, fight me (probably not you “fight me,” I bet you agree based on your TES opinions.)
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 3 weeks ago:
Honestly I’m inclined to agree with that, and that’s my problem with it. It shouldn’t be the most interesting part but since everything else was so boring it ended up that way.
The major disappointment was that after III and IV had such rich lore and worlds, but by V they must have fired the guy that could write. Having seen what they could do vs what they released was just sad.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 3 weeks ago:
Not even just “they don’t adapt,” Skyrim’s side quests might as well not exist they’re so damn boring. “Oohhh a race war” who cares I want to steal cool and varied stuff!
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 3 weeks ago:
The expansion helped for sure, Shiv Isles.
True though it was for sure smaller (unless you ever tried to “no fast travel” rule yourself then you’ll find out how big it is real quick lmao), but (and I concede Morrowind is just better, it just is there’s no way around it), but while Skyrim was large, effectively “who cares” because it was empty and dull and drab and gray. Cyrodiil is smaller but it’s absolutely gorgeous and vibrant throughout (even in the snow covered regions so that’s no excuse.)
Furthermore, my fundamental issue with Skyrim is the quests are just…dull. The main line is ok (Oblivion’s was better and Morrowind’s better still), but the side quests are abject dogshit, and the side quests historically were my favorite part. I stole a goddamn Elder Scroll, I snuck past every Ancestor Moth, I became the mother fucking Gray Fox, and in skyrim “hey you remember that same dumb silver vase you stole from one dickhead’s house? Steal it again from another dickhead’s house. Gray Fox? Whodat?” I loosened the bolts on a man’s stuffed moose after sneaking through his crawlspace to avoid his paid security, and got a bonus for it, and eventually became The Speaker. In skyrim “go kill that guy. Cool do it again.” The most memorable part of The Brotherhood in skyrim was from oblivion, by Lucian Luchance’s ghost.
I’m gonna be real, I kinda didn’t like skyrim and don’t think I’ll get 6. I’ll replay the oldies. My only real complaint with Morrowind is beast races can’t wear helmets and boots (I understand “human ones wouldn’t fit” but think given their existence in-lore it would make sense for them to have seen human’s wearing them and gone “hey let’s do that for our shape.” I do however accept that the Cats and Lizards might still not though, Argonians being newly freed and technologically behind, and the Kitties need their claws but should have helmets, even if only leather.) My only real complaint with Oblivion is I wish they’d have left a bunch of shit from Morrowind like crossbows etc.

So is Oblivion, though it belongs in the middle spot it happens to occupy numerically as well.

Ohh you don’t know poor people? I know more than one person without internet at home that just torrents at a friend’s house, I’m one of them. Honestly I prefer it this way.
Then maybe just buy a Mac and get 99% of the benefits of a *nix system without needing the appropriate knowledge.
Yup, no poor people, got it. Linux is free using your existing hardware, Mac not so much. Moreover they’re not much better than windows when it comes to privacy and control over your own hardware. Not really sure what benefits you’re talking about because it sure as shit ain’t those, unix based file system maybe, woohoo.
Meanwhile I’ve been using linux for about 7yr without needing to know that garbage because “stick go into hole” works just fine for everyone but you.
He would prefer you sending him a simple WhatsApp message with your pictures instead of having to mess with a thumb drive.
He also cares about privacy actually, so no whatsapp. Delta Chat, but then Image Compression.
No. I need my hourly incremental backup of my entire drive to be fast.
You don’t keep a spare spare spare of your most important files? Do you even offsite backup? Up your paranoia game my guy, skill issue.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 5 weeks ago:
I don’t have internet spawning from my ass, so it works better in non-connected environments.
More importantly I have no fucking clue what any of that means, but I can plug rectangle into rectangle hole. And absolutely 0 “how to install linux” tuts come with your set-up, so I’m gonna guess most new people don’t know how to either. “Do network magic because some dickhead wants to remove all ports” isn’t going to be a selling point for them.
Can I SCP my dad the pictures of my vacation from 3 states away? Maybe. Would he prefer I mail him a “zip drive?” Yes. Not everyone on earth is a 1337 H4x0r like yourself there zero cool.
You really need your monthly 3rd redundant backup of your .kdbx file to be lightning fast? I can wait the .03 seconds it takes to transfer I’m not in as much of a hurry as you.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 5 weeks ago:
Me. Linux distros (either install media or straight live boot disks like Tails), moving files larger than like fucking 2gb without relying on spyware or self hosting a cloud service, redundant backups of your most important files, rescue disks, and MORE! Only $16.99 for a limited time while supplies last see comment for details.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 5 weeks ago:
Furthermore I shouldn’t have to get rid of an old A device that still works just because they remove the ports. I don’t care how old it is let me use my external CD drive with the USB-A to Mini-USB (yes mini lmao.) Wish I still had an optical disk drive tbh.

- Comment on Fictional "Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology" has infected Google's search AI 1 month ago:
Tbf it often gets things wrong and has hallucinations already, and while that is still there in traditional searches AI removes it from it’s context and puts it right at the top of the results, where it insinuates that it is the most accurate results.
This highlights the issue quite well imo, it’s easier for a human to understand satire or nuance or context or when to take X with a grain of salt depending on the source and other context clues than it is for a lowly machine to do the same, and when the machine fails at the distinction and pushes false things as truth devoid of (or even with slightly obfuscated) context and by the way it does it while it pretends to be human itself, it makes it easier for the human to just accept it as fact. Should they? Of course not, but currently it seems to be an issue and whether you hate AI or love AI bringing attention to this issue (in a hilarious way no less) can only be a good thing.
