That’s a really wrong assessment.

Extreme acts without gun: punches, maybe knifes. One person hurts one other person.

Extreme acts with guns: one person shoots down 35 other people.

Not having firearms DID in fact prevent such killings. See any country without mass gun ownership

Yea, because pigs don’t poop where they eat if they have enough space. They will designate a pooping place for their pack(?), which makes it easy to clean

Huh look at that. I guess you tell me why I still use jpeg xD Compatibility? Print?

I’m just old and use PNG only to preserve transparency in images

For me it’s simply routine. If I have pictures that I want in high quality without compression, I have tiff or raw, but jpeg is usually enough to save images without using much space and still having the colour profile embedded.

Somewhere in my vicinity is “Wu Tang Lan” And mine is called “mum look I got internet”

Oh No the leopards eat my face!

One of my favourite songs of all times

I don’t think I should. People can experiment and try. And there’s probably hundreds of tutorials out there. I was just offering for you or any who read this.

Cool that you tried. Watercolour is really fun! I hope you enjoyed it. If you would like a few inspirations or pointers for watercolour, let me know. I’ve been doing a lot of it at work and have learnt how to get really satisfying results and experiences

Love sword comic. Go take a look. It’s the best-organised internet comic I know. With all characters, worlds and swords (duh) labeled and catalogued

You’re probably gonna find them through the material. They’re mostly denim or flannel. I just entered “denim shirt men” into my browser and got the shirts immediately. You’re going to look at Levi’s and Wrangler and the like. But why not shop for them second hand, too. They look much better imho if they’re a bit worn. Or please go take a look at your country’s fair fashion stores over those big brands.

I try to rationalise that the wording itself is not important to me and I can’t understand why would it be important to them, why won’t they just accept that some days with me are better without any confrontation?

That’s not how relationships work. It’s important to them. If they are important to you, then you put in the effort. If you can’t put in the effort on some days, maybe spend some time apart. The second part of that quote is also pretty problematic. If you are not respectful to them, telling them that they should not confront you about it is really toxic.

I’m autistic and depressed. I make similar mistakes. But I gotta ask myself the question: do I ask of my partner(s) things that I would myself not do? It seems that you are doing that. You’re asking them to ignore your behaviour, while you also ask of them to behave correctly towards you.

This is good. Cocoa is pure slave labour harvest 99% of the time.

Yeah I’m still sometimes discovering wrong titles, too.

I finally made the jump to tidal this month, my subscription to Spotify is running out. I hate giving my money to Spotify. Yeah, tidal ain’t perfect, yet. But I hope with more people joining, it’s going to be better soon

Pinball Arcade, Spell Brigade,

Your statements are conflation very different things and mixing ideas. Figuring out who you are is not the same thing as having difficulties with dating.

This line of thinking will get you in very weird niches of the internet.

I also don’t agree 100% that this is a “young guys” problem. Alienation is universal. But (white) cis men will find a way to make it about themselves.

I am also an older man. And yes I am depressed and often feel lonely and alienated. But the more I talk to people, the more I realise that this is an (intended) effect of hyper capitalism to separate us and to make us weak and lethargic.

So, please make this into two or three separate questions.

Short and “easy” answers will always be wrong

I invested a lot less. Go ahead. Long-term investment usually pay off if you don’t need the money

The hard but clear way: ask. If you feel like you wouldn’t want to have a connection to her if she treats you like this, then you don’t have much to lose by just making it open.

Basically send her your post

So much. I mean that’s what the book burning was all about. There’s blacklisted authors. There’s state secrets. It might be information that’s legal only for certain people. I mean, if we’re being pedantic, it’s illegal for you to have information about me if I’m not giving it to you.
