@susie @Mr_NutterButter there is a reason why people used to have magazines or books next to the shitter.

honestly i just get in, do my business, and get out. 5 minutes tops.

@sun fuck you this is a stupid fucking idea

@LukeAlmighty doesn't seem like it's changed anything tbh

With each passing day, I acknowledge more that I may end up just being the cool uncle. Kids think I'm fucking awesome. I just lack the ability to be appealing to anybody that wants kids. It's not even a self-confidence thing, the fact of the matter is that there are guys in the dating pool at all times much more capable than I am and I don't have the looks to back up the areas where I'm lacking. I think I would make a great spouse and a great dad, but the woman who also sees and believes that would have to be incredibly patient and supportive and we kind of live in a time where you don't need to be patient, and being supportive of yourself is already hard enough for a lot of people.

And of course, the one girl that was like that I had to go and screw things up with. I'm still malding about that even ten years later :meru_lul: would have maybe been another one too, but religion mismatch killed it for her.

@arc dude, heavy agree. I think they do it a little bit out of spite sometimes lol. In regards to zoomers/alphas being motivated. Half the younger people at work graduated high school early because they were tired of the fakeness and bullshit. They see their peers fucking killing themselves and all the school board does is run an "anti-suicide assembly" then continue on as normal. That's been a huge problem since I graduated, it's very dystopian. That's the most extreme example, but there are things like that which just exist everywhere, lots of hypocrisy and pretending to care and I think a lot of them reject it and then they have to actively work on making things better for themselves.

Bit of a tangent, but that's what I've seen. And that's why I relate to them a lot, because although people around my age have a lot of depression issues too, it seems to just seep in and nothing gets done about it. I had to actively break out of it and I've got massive respect for the young people who do it, and for those struggling with it I'm always there to try and extend an olive branch.

@LukeAlmighty and for a lot of them, they realize that it is way too late.

@icedquinn i don't think i know who that is lol, i meant "sevvie" as slang for seventh grader. in 9th grade if you talked or interacted with 7th graders (sevvies) you were considered a weirdo.

@icedquinn some motherfuckers never grew beyond "why are you talking to that sevvie?" and it shows.

mmm just got a nice dose of NPCs thinking that 6 year age gaps between consenting adults is weird. "mmm so that frontal lobe isn't even fully developed yet huh?" okay dumbass how about we cut out anyone below 25 from the voting pool then huh? just make the age of consent hardline at 25. see how well that blows over.

the best one was this: "I’m 27 and have zero in common with a 19 or 20 year old. Why would anyone over 25 consider even entertaining the idea of talking to an 18 year old."

i'm 28 and have friends who are just out of high school this year. i have more in common with them than some people my age. my younger sister is 20 and i've got a lot in common with her even disregarding her being my sibling. it's almost like how long you've been on the earth isn't totally correlated to how much in common you have with someone else. i was friends with people 8-10 years older than me when i was 20 too. why? because they were cool and we had shared interests. hell, idk if he necessarily considered me a "friend" or not, but my second cousin growing up was about 10 years older than me, autistic guy, really cool, and i always wanted to go hang out with him.

i think these people are just extremely antisocial and full of brainrot. it's one big skill issue. i'd rather hang out with a 16 year old who is into anime and video games than someone who is my age that can be described in no other way than "sex clown."

it's also a little bit alarming, as if some of these people might not want to hang out with anyone younger than them because they're afraid they'll control them or do something worse. i've actually really enjoyed being a friend to people in high school, because it's a rough time and it was always good to give them a positive image of someone who made it through that rough time and is willing to extend a hand. people who think in the opposite way might be a bit twisted.

i think there is also this aspect of "i'm older and therefore wiser and i never make mistakes, people younger than me are stupid though so i shall not talk to them!" as if i never do anything dumb. it's a lot easier to see fault in others than in yourself. yes, there can be a lack of experience/maturity than can lead to dumb decisions, of course, but a whole slew of other things can too. there's this little thing called a MID-LIFE CRISIS for a reason. people do stupid shit all the time. as a self-proclaimed "fully developed" 27 year old, how the fuck are you not cognizant enough of the world around you and life in general to not realize that?

braindead fucking NPCs dude.

@LukeAlmighty you need to try to be uglier if you're too hot

@LukeAlmighty Hyrule without all the bad shit happening would be a lovely place to live.

For this question, I always answer with animal crossing. So easy going. Small town where everyone knows each other and does nice stuff for each other all the time.

Could be fun to be in the F-zero universe too, get to see all those insane races.

@LukeAlmighty once I was away from home, things started getting better for sure. Older I get, the more I stop giving a fuck.

look at this adorable being and tell me you don't want to protect her with your life

@LukeAlmighty i have also 100% had the issue of games having way too much content or dragging on. i had to FORCE myself to finish tears of the kingdom, and that was with duplicating tons of items. i had to cheat to finish system shock, otherwise i would have just put it down. it doesn't really matter how long the game is, if it feels like it is dragging or just that there is way too much stuff that's a waste of time i'm going to become quite impatient.

@LukeAlmighty i had a mario maker limited edition rubik's cube, with pictures on each side. i scrambled it because i figured, hey, i can learn how to unfuck it probably.

turns out picture cubes are WAY harder than color ones.... can't fix it. too dumb.

I had these shoes for 15 years. Older than some of my cousins. They served me well, far better than any other shoe I've ever had. They were hella comfy. Alas, it is time for them to go. RIP little guys.

@a7 @nicholas @marine @mitchconner @PurpCat @djsumdog @jeff @PNS @Flick I think the only way to do that is with a lobotomy, physical or chemical lol.

@mitchconner @marine @PurpCat @djsumdog @jeff @PNS @Flick I was on lots of different meds for depression and epilepsy throughout high school and they fucked me up hardcore. The therapy I had while on them was ass. Took a couple years after stopping taking them to feel normal again. Those high school years feel like a completely different person lived them, like I watched someone else's memories. It's really weird.

My best friend got his degree in pharmacology last year and has already quit. Says he hates the culture and doesn't want to be complicit in fucking people over because he's seen it happen in real time. I hope one day we look back on all of this and see what a monstrous machine it was.

@mitchconner @marine @PurpCat @djsumdog @jeff @PNS @Flick in my case the therapists either were weaving God into it since I live in Mormonville or seemed less interested in helping me get better and more interested in getting me out of the office. I was also really closed in and they didn't really do anything that made me trust them enough to open up. It's a bit blurry though too, maybe my parents had something to do with it because I know my siblings had therapy issues because of that.

it's starting to make sense why they see orcs as black people now
