- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 1 day ago:
Why should anything be crashing at this point? Everyone is still working, right? Value is still being extracted from workers, right? People are still buying things, aren’t they?
The stock market will only start crashing once the effects actually reach people’s spending/working behavior, which it didn’t yet.
- Comment on Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses? 2 days ago:
I’m glad :) I hope you can get to a better place with your depression. I’ve been through it, I know how much it sucks. If you need more advice/explanations/help, don’t hesitate to ask.
Many people in here treated you very unfairly, because you did sound very much like you’re saying “I’m incredibly amazing and can do nothing wrong”, and some people assume that such a person could never do something different and they absolutely hate that.
A healthy confidence is incredibly important, but so is knowing that you’re not perfect either. I’m very proud that it seems like you can do both :)
- Comment on Where is the line between being yourself and trying to change? 2 days ago:
As others have said, flirting is a “natural”, risk-free way to show sexual interest in someone.
I’m autistic and basically can’t do it. So I just go up to people I find attractive, and say “hey I think you’re cute, I’d like to get to know you better, would you also like that?” or some variation of this. Most of the time it doesn’t work, but quite evidently by what is lying next to me, it works sometimes.
Being yourself is not about not doing the things that are required to reach your goals. You still need to do them, i.e. express sexual interest. What is meant is that you need to figure out a way to do the things that are necessary to reach your goal in a way that you can actually learn to do.

It’s not really about the sarcasm itself, what they were saying was so ridiculous that having that as an actual opinion is just completely unrealistic. It shows that your conecpt of reality in ragards to yourself, i.e. self-awareness, is currently very lacking.

Then you’re a bad friend because of your depression. It’s unfortunate and not something you should feel even more bad/depressed about, but it’s simply true.
If they’re good friends they will understand if you just tell them the truth. Instead of saying “No” you can just say, “sorry, I’m really depressed, I can’t do this”. It’s a bit longer to write/say, but at least you’re communicating honestly.

Did you actually think this wasn’t complete sarcasm?
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 4 days ago:
There is no point to living. For every single reason someone found, someone else doesn’t care about that at all. If there is a point to living, we haven’t found it yet.
That said. Try self-improvement. Read about psychology. Analyze your own mind. You might find some stuff pointing you towards something.
For example. Why do you say “I save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea” and “I don’t want to travel because it costs money” just a few sentences apart? This doesn’t make any sense. You save money for nothing yet you don’t travel because it costs money? To me, this suggests some conditioning you’re a victim of, something like just following some predefined set of rules because someone (probably parents) once said “you should be saving money” and “you should not spend money on unnecessary things”.
Or. Are you afraid of something? But kinda would like to do it if it wasn’t scary? Go do it. What have you got to lose? Nothing matters anyway, right?
You might just notice if you do these two things, there is actually stuff to live for, you just haven’t found it because you either had social conditioning or fear that stopped you from it.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 5 days ago:
Anything realtime needs to be at least 60 fps. Something like a city builder or turn based strategy or non-time-critical relaxed co-op stuff is fine to be 30+.
I’d never want to play any shooter at lower than 60, no RTS, no racing game and so on.

You could probably call it some kind of disability of executive functioning… Many people with disabilities manage fine without a personal assistant.
- Comment on This is getting bad. Like, really really bad. 2 weeks ago:
So lucky this is only mild. Imagine if it was anything really really bad.
- Comment on What my front page looks like with no-politics content filter on 3 weeks ago:
There are people around me enraged/supportive of it. I want to be able to be a voice of reason, and I can’t do it if I don’t know.
- Comment on What my front page looks like with no-politics content filter on 3 weeks ago:
I like to be informed about the stupid shit happening, so yes, I enjoy it. It’s basically 5 minutes each day where I look at /all, the rest is subscribed stuff which doesn’t have politics.
- Comment on What are your favorite board games? I'm looking for games that are satisfying and lead to a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment or connection. 3 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, but if you have this problem, it’s entirely caused by who your players are as people, not by the games itself. Even cooperative games leave people that get pissed, pissed at each other. For example, if one person wants to do something that another person finds suboptimal, and then the cooperative game is lost some time later.
I love Deep Rock Galactic, Terra Mystica, Mysterium.

I think if you shared one picture, you would have saved paragraphs of text you didn’t have to write.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 5 weeks ago:
I meant you wouldn’t have to work as hard as normal jobs if you are top 0.01% beautiful, not that you can’t make money unless you are.
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 1 month ago:
Why scary? Wouldn’t it be good if the human population didn’t increase more?
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 month ago:
It’s actually extremely hard to earn money with OnlyFans. You’re not the first one to get the idea. There’s massive competition and if you’re not seriously willing to do a lot of marketing (which basically means going on social media and messaging thirsty dudes/people and being flirty with them), you’re only going to earn peanuts if anything at all.
- Comment on How to wake up during nightmares? 1 month ago:
Did you try being bored by it? “Oh it’s one of those nightmares again, let’s get it over with. Where is the monster chasing me? Ah, there it comes, yes, eat me, I’m so scared, aaaah”
I never had such extreme episodes but enough that I did actually get bored by them.
What’s important to say is that I was a very anxious person, scared of everything. I did decide to start confronting my fears and getting rid of them. Part of it was accepting the fears and just letting myself be scared without the judgement of fear being bad. Getting bored of nightmares definitely coincided there.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
But yeah that’s the thing, even you call it “trained” sociopathy. I.e. everyone else could be trained into it as well. Of course that wouldn’t happen because people are different, we can’t predict everything yada yada. If you grow up with awareness about richness it’s more unlikely you make the same mistakes and so on.
But if you’re extremely poor and have a mindset of “oh I just have to work hard and then be rich eventually” and actually aspire to be rich, which a lot a lot of people do, then I think those will quickly become exactly the same as current rich people.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
Then we agree. It just sounded like you somehow attributed more inherent evilness to them than everyone else.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
We would disagree there then. In my opinion the only difference is the situation people are in not allowing them to get more. If you look at lottery winners, most of them manage to lose all the money relatively quickly.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
Yeah of course we can override our desires, I never said anything to the contrary. The difference though is not the existence of the desire.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 month ago:
Our behaviors are really quite simple. It has been shown a few times that our logical explanations for how we decide on our behavior are mostly rationalizations after the decision has been made, not actual reasons. I.e. like you say, we want more, then we find an explanation why we would want more.
For example, someone likes a new phone because it’s shiny and new, and says “why wouldn’t I treat myself once in a while”, “it’s faster which makes me more productive”, “it has X and Y new features which are useful in A and B situations”(which they’ll never encounter), and so on
- Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile? 1 month ago:
Ah I see!
So you’re essentially saying that instead of asking women to smile, I should also ask them to get their tits out for me to gawp at!
Thank you :)

I’m subscribed, when the video came out something along those lines was the title. They likely changed it because it performed better with viewers.
- Comment on why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person?? 1 month ago:
It’s really hard to give you any advice if we don’t know you. It’d really require a longer conversation talking about you and your life, the situations you’ve been in, and so on.
If you’d like, we could have that conversation, just tell me.
- Comment on Can being othered and isolated from society stunt growth? 1 month ago:
This sequence of events is what happened to me, and the othering caused me to isolate myself and feel inadequate, and the isolation and feeling of being inadequate caused me to try to improve so I’m not inadequate anymore, which finally resulted in much larger growth than anyone else I grew up with.
Now, the question of course is, would I have grown even more if I hadn’t been othered and then isolated myself as a reaction…
- Comment on Can being othered and isolated from society stunt growth? 1 month ago:
What is it, othered or isolated? Can’t really be both, if you are othered, you’re inside society and interacting with it, if you’re isolated, you can’t be othered because you’re isolated and there’s no one there to “other” you.

Yep, did this, looked great and I loved it.
