Not my case cause I'm happily taken but I hate seeing my colleagues and friends just mindlessly "dating". No objectives, no direction, just going out for the sake of intoxication and fornication, and sometimes they get into situationships, sometimes they don't, their longest relationship is a 6 month fling. How hedonistic, immature and overall depressing.
The tea is that ever since they made reliable, non-disgusting or super invasive contraception, nothing has been the same. Sure, an intelligent person can still make their way in the world but most people are basically cattle so, if they're not lucky enough to be rightly guided, they'll just act in the expected ways. Imagine how different things would be if the possibility of pregnancy was truly always there. Abortions are really uhh uncomfortable at the very least on different levels, and most ladies aren't planning on getting one, so that's no solution either. Both men and women would keep it in their pants, date for the purpose of finding a partner with whom you could build a life and a family with and avoid fornication (for "practical" reasons and not just ethical ones). And then people would more easily get paired up, and there would be fewer confusions regarding romantic relationships. Hook-up culture is the expected result of reliable contraception and a lack of ideology/moral teachings regarding sex and relationships. What else could happen in the vacuum of guidance besides hedonism and confusion ? But the cat is out of the bag now so y'all will have to make these decisions yourselves, without the motivating risk of unwanted children.
I don't even know what kind of neurodivergence or whatever one must have to think that way in earnest instead of, you know, being a person and doing human things. Wow.
Extremely, I don't even waste time complaining about things (usually, lol) that can't be changed because that's time I could spend enjoying other parts of life! I have clothes mostly just so I'm not naked outside, and I've only actually put any thought into it when it comes to my work clothes (I kinda miss the days I could wear the same thing every day because I was in the army and it was mandatory, why don't we have uniforms as civilians?!). I don't even argue with people IRL: I say something as nicely as possible to allow the person to accept what I'm saying, and if they don't seem to get it I just state things plainly ("this is what I'm gonna do, this is what you can or cannot do regarding this, this is what I can offer to compensate if it makes you feel better, and such is life"). I only have, uhh, friendly and purely intellectual arguments with my fellow lemmings! 😅
As a married man to a very girly girl, this makes me basically an alien to my wife, being on the opposite end of this (and other) spectrums. She often jokes that she "found" me in the woods or "rescued" me, and since I often wear things until the holes are larger than the fabric and drink water straight from the tap no glass, she might have a point! She's also the only one who I actually argue with, for obvious reasons. 😬
My bad, I made the appropriate correction. I meant that, even for those outside of .ml, that should be obvious enough (remember the "did you even say thanks" little act with Zelensky?). 👍
You can plant the seed of doubt though, and sometimes that is enough for at least the smallest of changes. That's why I enjoy getting e-gangbanged in l/Atheism. 😅
Low/regular sensitivity and actual tiredness can surprise you, lol. When I was in the army I could easily sleep through the snoring of 20+ other men, and I even took micronaps during a ruck march. 🙃
The European invader will never stop, for whatever reason. I wonder what goes on in their brains that at no point is the hellish immorality of their actions questioned. Like, if I were in their shoes and had a moment of sanity, I'd end my life or go full "isolated monk in the woods carrying the heaviest guilt ever" (and the second option just feels selfish, definitely better to end your life but do something good with it like taking some of these folks out with you).
If Western supremacists had an ounce of courage and intellectual integrity, they'd just say what they mean. Nothing new, kinda boring at this point, just so depressing still. I will never understand, I have never been that dumb and cowardly.
I'm sorry, OP, but that's just life, what can I tell you. 😔 I'm sure the right person won't care either way. Also, that bit about vaginas is way off, no neurotypical man is actually thinking about "tightness" like that, it doesn't even cross one's mind (and how would one even measure it in advance, are there signs? 🤔).
One of my new colleagues, a manager actually, stole a pair of Ray-Bans (priced at almost £100, so nothing life changing) one of our customers forgot and was meant to pick up later... in plain view of the security cameras! He even took selfies and shit, it went for about a minute before he slipped them into his right pocket. And now everyone knows cause the next morning he tried to tell everyone "his side of the story" and, confused, those who were told asked around and eventually were shown the camera footage. So embarrassing. You can't be both that dumb and immoral, you kinda have to pick one, lol.
I went through something like that a decade and a half ago, in my shut in NEET days. I'm truly sorry, loneliness and feeling like nobody cares suck worse than many other things. Maybe you'll find a life partner wherever you're going next, who knows? I certainly wish it for you. And hey, at least you have us internet strangers, it's not much but it's something! 🥲👍
It's like being a heartless enslaver is in their cultural DNA or something...

"I've heard enough, nuke Cuba!" -unironic take many Americans have had throughout the past decades

"Stay the hell away from pizza and croissants even if you spent half your life in Southern Europe, dough doesn't agree with you!" 😭
I mean, yeah, Ukraine is an American colony. I don't understand how this could shock someone, even outside of .ml, lol.🤷♂️

White Americans are just (usually) even more uncouth Western Europeans???

It doesn't always because it takes effort! 🤷♂️

And he's just a disembodied string of characters forever stuck on Lemmy? I guess it's better than Hell. 🥲
