  • I agree. My mental health takes huge nose dives when I use dating apps. I’ve had great experience IRL and even use friends and their partners sometimes to curate messages so that I know I’m not fucking up. My longest streak was 16 dates consecutively of being stood up. Each was a different woman, no repeat dates or responses after being stood up. Man does it blow. The rejection just happens so frequently and in rapid succession that I can’t stand it.

    I also tick a lot of boxes that people present on those apps but for whatever reason my luck is pretty piss. Usually if I actually manage a date we end up at least seeing each other for some time but getting to that point seems nigh impossible through the apps


  • I don’t mind vegans, or that lifestyle, at all. What I do mind is people who are overtly (and possibly aggressive) in presenting a lifestyle that the feel is “right”. Unfortunately there’s a stereo type with vegans being that way.

    Veganism is a big lifestyle choice and the difference to vegetarian is the avoidance of near all animal products if and when possible. Not just in regards to eating meat, but things like a leather wallet too.

    Someone has to be careful and on top of their diet and dietary needs to be vegan and properly nourished (even omnivorous people are subject to this malnutrition mind you).

    I have some personal differences in views to vegans in regards to the consumption of meat, but rather similar views in how it’s obtained. I do think generally the mass production and lifestyle is not morally correct for the animals. However I would also say humans are naturally omnivorous and eating meat is something that not only is built into our diet but what gave us a fundamental evolutionary advantages.

    Animals eat animals and humans are animals. Though if we are sentient enough and empathetic enough creatures we should at least provide a decent life for the animals and utilize all we can so as not so waste them.





  • I suppose it really depends on why I’m the last person on earth. If it was nuclear fallout, I’d probably be dead pretty quick.

    If we’re under the assumption that everybody just poofed away and I’m the last person, absolutely a few months minimum. I’m within easy walking distance of some stores that have plethora of canned and preserved foods and liquids. I also know some places that already have full solar infrastructure already integrated.

    All that being said, I’d probably off myself. I’m fairly non-social to begin with but I’d still be unhappy never being able to communicate with anyone ever again on top of major resource struggles in the future. Never find a partner, probably not even a domesticated pet as they’d all likely die within a week or so if I don’t prioritize that. Sounds incredibly sad and lonely


  • As a serious note though, on a micro enough scale, everything will become bumpy/not a single linear thing. On a macro enough scale it would be impossible to determine variation and appear flat.

    In a common human sense, many things are flat and linear to normal human perception. Many crystal and metal formations have flat, straight, and sharp features.

    And something theorized to be existing and straight would be (iirc) the planck length. Light so energized that the wave becomes essentially linear (please verify because this is memory only)


  • Okay! Can do!

    Defnitions: Flat (adjective), My chest. Example My chest was flatter than an angle measured at 180°

    Straight (adjective) anything that has perfect parallelism to my chest. (See notes)

    Notes (Straight): Straight cannot be used as an adjective to describe my sexuality.

    FAQ: Is this commentary on anything political? A: No, this is typically considered bad humor.

    Is this a joke? A: yes, this is a joke just as much as the author of the joke is -entirely.

    Why did you write this? A: I thought of this stupid joke and have no impulse control on writing dumb comments (see previous question)

    What is the meaning of life? A: 42

    Do dinosaurs really exist? A: I had Dino nuggies last night and do not believe big chicken would lie to me about making up dinosaurs, so yes they are real

    Has this joke gone too far? A: This joke is for me, I need to make myself laugh





  • Something to consider in regards to honesty, is tact.There’s no reason to lie, but also no reason to be abrasive. It is something I struggle with myself and how I use words.

    An example of tact could be someone has bad breath your response could be: “Your breath smells like shit” or “You could use a mint”

    The latter will be much better received than the former but neither are a lie and present the issue. Saying things as definitive I’ve noticed also comes across as harsh even if you are 100% certain of something. I don’t fully grasp communication in that way but I’ve gotten better once I’ve recognized it and it has helped my interactions. Perhaps it could aid yours.

    IIRC inflation is the devaluation of the dollar and the laymen “inflation” people commonly talk about is the CPI, which is the actual price of goods and services (I.E. this is what you are actually paying, rather than how much power the dollar has overall). I could be wrong but it is an important distinction because it tells us exactly how F*ed we’re getting by companies and corporations.

    TL;DR: Bugles cost way to friggin much now >:(


  • As an American I never understood the “you have to wait longer in Canada” argument. My sibling almost cut off a few of their fingers and was bleeding profusely and had to wait with a rag around their fingers for almost 4 hours in the ER before they got seen. This is in the US. I’ve had past partners waiting in large amounts of pain for upwards of 10 hours in the ER too (thankfully I brought some bugles to snack on). It’s a problem in general, I’d rather it at least be free
