    Pretty much the story of my friend. He makes a ton of money as a computer scientist, but he worked for it as far as his education went. He just had a stable family to live with so no rent, he had a father who got him a job which paid like full time but allowed a flexible schedule, paid for his car and phone, etc…

    He studied his ass off and was always at the school, but it’s because he had the support to be able to do that. We literally live opposite lives in almost every respect. I had none of what he had and so I’m stuck working in a factory living in someone’s garage. I couldn’t dedicate the time for what I thought I wanted and couldn’t risk spending the money to try as I have to move way too often and need a hefty savings for first month, security, broker fee… Being poor is expensive lol


  • It’d be nice to achieve fully automated gay luxury space communism or whatever, but if humanity ever reaches that point, I’ll be long gone.

    “A society grows great when old men plant gay space trees whose communist shade they know they shall never sit in.”




  • It really blows my mind that people get stuck in this “that’s the way it should be” mindset.

    You know that with more exposure your comment would attract tons of replies about “you’re lazy, 40 hours is the minimum you should work! You just want life handed to you for 5 hours of work.” Completely ignoring that 40 hours a week was “recently” changed to be the norm and only because the owners realized that the workers need time to buy and use their products so that they can sell more…

    There’s nothing natural about 40 hours weeks let alone 90…




  • It’s not the evangelicals alone, the party itself is using the argument “for the children” as a cudgel to beat the opposition with. They want to say they simply find trans people and anyone who does drag disgusting, but they have to use the children as an example of innocence being ruined by their opposition.

    It’s just a political weapon, and as usual for Republicans it’s “rules for thee and none for me.”


  • I never liked hinge because of the Twitter like character limit. It forced short profiles so everyone just puts the bare minimum instead of trying to pack information into a limited space.

    I really liked Okcupid until they absolutely drove it into the ground… All they did was remove useful features and force the “swipe only” method so that you’d spend forever swiping and hopefully pay them to see who liked you since you cant do any sort of search to find someone you might be interested in.

    Yes, they’ve ruined online dating along with the app conglomerate Match group.

    The shitheads chase off women who are sick of getting tons of these messages (they guys don’t care that they’re causing that issue, they just “play the numbers game” to get their dick wet) and Match group chases away everyone who doesn’t want Tinder 2.0 because they buy every competitor and then enshittify every site they gain ownership of to become a tinder clone.

    I just want a goddamn site where people make profiles that are more than 2-3 sentences of “I love dogs. I love tacos. I love to travel.” and maybe just mayyyybe don’t aim to become a fucking influencer streaming platform? I’m looking at you plenty of fish…

    Source: I watched the downfall of online dating over the last decade. Still single, never sent a rude message… Maybe that’s my problem lol

    As for is this how guys should act? God no… Well, be inclusive of trans people yes, immediately going to “let’s fuck” no…

    Same.

    Face, body, anxiety, depression, etc…

    Yeah… Even if someone would hold their nose and settle for me I’ve pretty much decided the world is a much better place without more of me. Plus it’s a like a form of torture to bring someone into this world that will be as ugly as me and have all my issues as well.

    Hard pass.
