has majorly spilled over into real life as well. way too many anxious control freaks these days, not enough chill people who are willing to listen and learn.

people.

people don’t like openness and freedom. it’s scary. they prefer to be coddled by walled gardens and curated experiences that make sure they don’t come across anything they find unpleasant or disagreeable.

most people are very happy to be spoonfed bias-confirming garbage their entire life, and re-regurgitating it out again. the open internet is a huge threat to those people.

it’s oblivion in space.

must be nice bro. i have been out with 100s of women over the years. i’d say a good quarter to 1/3 of them were horrible people. selfish, nasty, racist, sexist, violent etc. i’ve been sexually assaulted quite a few times too.

it’s just that most violent shitty women get a pass because they are women and not perceived as a ‘threat’ to society. the way a violent man is. a woman raping a man is not considered heinous crime, it’s considered a man ‘getting lucky’.

this bullshit that men are awful and women are wonderful is pure sexism. in my experience both sexes are shitty, it’s just that one sex gets called out on it a lot more than the other.

New monitors: Maybe my eyes suck, but my set of two 21-inch LCD monitors from 2005 is still going strong

Your eyes don’t suck. You just want to abuse them for some reason. Modern display tech is way easier on your eyes.

i used to hang out in the woods behind my house with my friends from the street. we’d just make up games, ride our bikes, make forts, stuff like that.

yeah we do get to choose that. willpower is controlling your feelings and make yourself feel differently.

i don’t know what world where you live in that feelings are uncontrollable. I have suffered from PTSD and other powerful stuff… but I simple choose to not allow my feelings to govern me. When I am feeling that way I go ‘why am i feeling this way? it’s stupid, just stop it’ and a few minutes later I’m fine.

it’s not any different than being on a diet. you choose what to eat. pretending like you have no choice in overeatting or eating poorly is just an excuse to justify the poor choices rather than deal with the difficulty of changing your habits.

yeah i don’t think life is a burden. i notice a lot of people who spend a lot of time doing nothing and bullshitting and consuming low quality products… tend to think life is a burden.

it’s not. my nephews that play it come from househoulds with 300K+ incomes.

poor kids are playing xbox because they can’t afford expensive gaming PCs.

something like 80% of single women are looking for a man who is taller, rich, and pays for all her dates like it’s the 1950s.

And only 50% of single men want that kind of relationship. So there is a huge gap. Men are actaully more progressive/feminist when it comes to dating than most women are.

Yes. Your height is a huge factor in your social appeal and status.

Taller people are considered more attractive, get paid more, and generally have positive biases associated with them. Short people have negative ones.

it’s further biased when it comes to female to male selection. men don’t care so much about women’s height, but women care very much about dating a larger, physically stronger, partner.

don’t forget the ’ i am sad and lonely and broke, how do i get a gf’ posts.

i don’t like doing dumb stuff because it’s dumb and a huge waste of time.

sounds like it’s the reality tv of video games.

i don’t understand the appeal of stuff like roblox.

i played second life back in 2003 and it was boring as shit to me then. robox just seems like the kid-focused version of that in 2025. and yet three of my nephews are addicted to it.

every time i’ve played it i’ve always been shocked at how boring and nonsensical it all is.

it’s also slow as fuck.

it’s not medical care. it’s eldercare.

that isn’t how any of this works. You don’t ship people off to other countries like they are cattle. Jesus.

people like yourself? because that’s how i’m interpreting you based on your posts here.

you can’t seem to let other people do their thing.

Brothers Karamazov is way better.

It’s true.

The world is callous and shortsighted. Pretending it isn’t is just being naive and seeking to protect your feelings from a harsh social reality. Empathy has nothing to do with, but you seem to mistake empathy as ‘bullshitting people to make them feel good and delude them about their situation’. Rather than informing them of the reality of their circumstances and their choices.

No. It’s a stupid thing to say to anyone.

Why would you tell this to anyone? Stop being so weird and stop blaming her for your actions. Develop some pride and take responsibility. You choose to act how you act. It is nothing to do with her.
