- Comment on Anon wants sex 5 days ago:
The “incentive”/stigma for lying about virginity is also reversed. Part of their confusion/bull-shit is thinking they want a virgin.
- Comment on Anon is a nice guy 2 weeks ago:
Different people will approach those social situations differently. Work, play, drinking, hanging out, flirting … everyone has their own ideas of what they enjoy or find inappropriate or don’t know how to engage with in various settings. The same individual is often wildly inconsistent across different settings.
Personal adaptability and the willingness to apologise or double-down according to what the other party expects are the only ways to avoid getting one’s feelings hurt and/or hurting others across a broad-range of experiences and individuals.
Of course, social isolation and intentionally keeping a small circle and/or routines are also valid options.

I downvoted at-first, but I just explained this to my son yesterday. Over 90% of us are sheep, and over half of that are just sheep who are concerned primarilly with the social-status and evident power/autority of anyone who tries to give them directions, no matter how correct or absurdly-wrong the directions. They actively despise the notion of thinking for themselves.
- Comment on Anon uses 4chan 4 weeks ago:
Tell that to all the text that comprises most content in every board. Calling it more of an imageboard than sites that devote almost-all of every page to images is backwards. 4chan is a forum or BBS-minus-dial-in with delusions of grandeur.
- Comment on Anon uses 4chan 4 weeks ago:
Neither is 4chan
- Comment on Why Japan’s internet looks weird — unless you live here 1 month ago:
It looks like the internet I grew-up with, if “web 2.0” hadn’t screwed it all up before large hi-resolution screens became common. It’s everything since then that’s flippin’ weird.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 1 month ago:
You’re situation is far from what I was getting at, and a nightmare to 95+% of the people I intended to describe.
I haven’t minded jail, in-patient treatment, nor any number of confined living/work situations, but I don’t think that outlook lends itself to ignoring the suffering of others per se.
The suffering of others is one of the more overt ills of society that makes me appreciate a situation where I have a full stomach, a warm bed, and an extremely-confined combined-work-study-and-social-circle which I have little-to-no control over all-the-more.
The society outside of that, where suffering of others is acceptable so long as one is not forced to associtate with anyone-in-particular, is something its entirely moral to flee from imho.
Basically, your situation is almost the opposite of what I was complaining of, even though for most people its a situation that is only symptomatic of the narrow set of problems they find personally-inconvenient about the status quo. These are people who implitly have a problem with you or I getting to be being fed, warm, and detached from the zeitgeist they know, and/or even slightly happy, but they will also never admit it.
Far from all of that 95+% I mentioned in my first paragraph are like so, but is at least 60% of people-in-general, divided closer-to-evenly among, and therefore the majority members of, whatever tribes you could name … and its extra stupid because the rest are just as invested in pretending the ones that agree with them somehow aren’t the problem.
No, you see, its addicts, “psychopaths”, “the other guys” and you or I that are the problem to them. Even though society would both fall-apart without us, and has no right to call itself society if it can’t allow for us. We can’t pretend those suffering don’t exist as easilly as they, and our comfort away from those that can, with mixed-company no matter your criteria no-less, is anathema to their outlook.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 2 months ago:
Amazing how awesome a little comfort is when you can just ignore others who don’t have what you have, and ignore how little separates you from them. Injury, illness, mistakes, accusations, random layoffs… Its all so fragile.
- Comment on Anon is British 2 months ago:
The only thing to make it better would be to change it to “die thankful, to the terrorists for freeing me of this place” or for the last line, “maybe if they hated it here enough to go on living out of spite instead of blowing themselves up, we could accept them as fellow Britons.”

Not your own. Definitely not from anyone who has taken-up drinking seawater either.

Depends if the newly-formed habits persist whenever she lets up.
- Comment on Anon has had enough 3 months ago:
Back when I could consistently roll my foreskin back, aiming from standing was the cleaner option. I have no idea what animals you’ve lived with that couldn’t get their pee in the bowl consistently, but I’m sorry, I guess?
- Comment on Anon has had enough 3 months ago:
Reasons I unironically want FUD/STP device; Not that I’ve bothered to be pro-active about it. Even sitting to pee does not reign-in the dick’s non-sense.
- Comment on Anon has had enough 3 months ago:
You apparently have no idea the dick’s talent for aiming for the crack between the seat and rim, no matter how you go about “tucking” it downwards to try to prevent just that. Even sitting, leaning so far forward your hands are on the floor, is no guarantee

Johnny Cash did it better with Riders in the Sky

Yes, banning super-intelligence that doesn’t justifiably hate us is an amazingly great idea.

Independence Day did it better, than Tom Cruise at least.

Could swear I’ve seen a setting where the currency was sovereigns, but there was no king. Literally “cash is king”.
- Comment on New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂ - Ars Technica 4 months ago:
Believe it or not, I am right there with you on this. There is little to no way that I can see to do this without leaving most plants facing more competition than they can possibly cope with. Maybe start with islands that already have low plant biodiversity, and try to splice as many of each variety of plant there as possible at once? … but that’s all I’ve got.
Spliced Oceanic Algeas would probably just fill the oceans to the point of killing everything else in them.
- Comment on New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂ - Ars Technica 4 months ago:
Reducing emissions alone may not be enough for the survival of most existing flora and fauna.
The problem is that it will take an extended period of time for nature to pull all of the existing CO2 back out of the atmosphere. We may not survive long enough. The existing plants and whatnot that do it may not survive long enough to recover once its done.
- Comment on Anon doesn't fit in 4 months ago:
Normies and weirdos have odd ideas what a normie or a weirdo is. That’s kinda OP’s problem. The spaces they think they should feel comfortable in aren’t comfortable(enough) with them.
Sounds like they aren’t comfortable enough in their own skin, and the people they try to get to know catch onto that quick, to be honest. That, and/or they are allergic to feedback/criticism.
- Comment on I Hate My Friend: The chatbot-enabled Friend necklace eavesdrops on your life and provides a running commentary that’s snarky and unhelpful. Worse, it can also make the people around you uneasy. 5 months ago:
Oh, I’m fully aware. It just boggles the mind how the same tired outlook has endured for decades now.
- Comment on I Hate My Friend: The chatbot-enabled Friend necklace eavesdrops on your life and provides a running commentary that’s snarky and unhelpful. Worse, it can also make the people around you uneasy. 5 months ago:
If I wanted to READ ai “snark”, I would spend more time on facebook, or go back to reddit. How hard could it be to slap a batter and 4G/5G modem on a google home or alexa? Eiter of which would be easier to run on a phone or tablet, whic also includes speakers.
How do these morons that can’t match the convenience of existing privacy nightmares, or even DIY stuff, continue to get VC funding?
- Comment on The Job Market Is Hell: Young people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired. 5 months ago:
You had me, until the second-half of your last sentence. Its more like we can’t rely on perfectly rational systems, because we don’t comply, neither perfectly nor rationally.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 5 months ago:
“certified freak” is relative. If I met them, while we couldn’t bond over deer vagina, I would probably just see them as a suitable new friend. Their parents, on the other hand.
Hell, if their parents met me, they might be more thankful for the spawn they have by comparison. I would do my best to make sure of it.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 5 months ago:
anon’s parents are idiots for raising them with no secure personal personal space. I know of no more certain way to churn out a certified freak.
