  Counter points:

  1. I don’t have a counter point. This is just a matter of opinion.

  2. Buy fancy clothes from a yard sale or something. I like to get old time formal wear because it just looks well put together.

  3. You can go out and do things without spending money. Have a walk in the park, go to the library.

  4. I don’t know why you associate challenging yourself with not being satisfied. I think challenging myself is fun. It has the “put in the work, reap the rewards” kind of structure. I draw as a hobby, so I mostly challenge myself by trying to draw in unfamiliar art styles.

  5. This is just kinda sad. You’re aware that having friends isn’t imperialist, right? Friends are a part of every human culture, imperialist or not. Humans are social creatures, and we are very dependent on social interaction. Talking to others is the main way we compare our thoughts and perception to reality–we get a second opinion.

  If you really feel that way, I’m sorry to hear that. It can be really hard to try and function ethically in the modern world, so you have to put in some effort to find ethical ways to do things. I hope you get to a point in your life where you feel good about your situation and your role in the world.

  Have a nice day.

  I’ve never seen an episode of house, but based on secondhand accounts, this is how I imagine an episode going:

  House: hello, it’s me, Dr house. I bet all of you that I can identify some crazy disease.

  Unimportant Dr 1: You always do that

  House: you are stupid and you should feel bad.

  [Patient enters]

  Patient: Doctor, I got bit by my dog.

  House: You are stupid and should feel bad.

  Unimportant Dr 1: House! You can say that to a patient!

  House: Of course I can, it’s true. [Starts spitting out slurs]

  Unimportant Dr 2: I’m so sorry about Dr house, let me dress that wound.

  House: No! The patient can’t be treated!

  Dr 2: why??

  House: I’ll never tell. 😏

  [Patient faints]

  House(to Dr 2): How could you be so stupid!?

  [House grabs nearby syringes and begins injecting the patient]

  [Patient wakes up]

  House(to Dr 2): If you weren’t so stupid, you would’ve gone to the patients house, kidnapped their dog and beheaded it. You see, this dog has a penchant for eating people with AIDS. So when the dog went to bite the patient, the patient got AIDS.

  Patient: I have AIDS?

  House: You are stupid and disgusting and you should feel bad.

  Dr 1: I guess I owe you, House!

  House: Give me the hospital’s supply of morphine. I am a drug addict.

  [Omnes exeunt]

  From an ace perspective, the statement that sexual expression is a human need is bizarre. I don’t really know how horny regular people are, but this makes it seem like an obsession. It’s like if I said bird watching is a human need; you’d immediately assume I spend like six hours a day bird watching to think it was biologically necessary.

  There can’t be women online, that’s impossible! Websites aren’t pointlessly gendered!

  IMO around 2006 is when you see the decline. It’s the delineation between kids who started with computers, and kids that started with phones or tablets.

  Don’t know why people are down voting this. That’s canonically correct in the Jewish an Muslim traditions.

  Counterpoint: a lot of the time, no one actually tells you why they don’t want to be your friend. People want to be polite and avoid talking about your negative traits, but they end up just perpetuating them because you don’t know how to improve.

  In addition, not everyone has a choice in how they present themselves. If someone has a physical or mental disability they might slur words, put weird emphasis on words, or do other things that disturb other people.

  Fahernhaters are always like, “nooo!! 40 degrees is so hot!!” Meanwhile, the fahrenchad’s resting body temperature is nearly 2.5 times hotter. All fahernhaters would die at that temperature.

  This happens to everyone. It happens because your brain registers the other person saying something before it actually understands what is being said. And when most people don’t know what someone said, they ask, “what?” without even thinking. Source: my intro to psych textbook.

  Where would you break in? The only thing I can imagine is like a bank vault, but the doors to those things are crazy thick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why a ton, and not a megagram?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  There are actually two standards here. Kibibytes was introduced later as a way to reduce confusion cause by the uninitiated thinking the JEDEC standard refered to powers of ten instead of two. That’s why I’m saying that 64 kilobytes is equal to 2^16 bytes, because that’s what the original standard was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why a ton, and not a megagram?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I still use mb and kb as 1024 instead of 1000, because I prefer to not have units switched around from under me. 2^16 will always address 64kb, not 65.
