Bro doesn’t even know about seen 🤣

Swapped between normal and kneeling chair for a while as budget solution to back pains. Switched to sit/stand lifting desk + normal chair, stand pad (do not cheap out on the stand pad, get a nice thick one) and balance board when I upgraded my desk.

Kneeling chair was great, but shouldn’t be used for long periods of time (2+ hours) according to lots of easily corroborated medical advice easily found even on the kneeling chair supplier websites.

Sit/stand desk is the best investment I’ve ever made, felt the improvements after 3 weeks of casual use. Balance board is awesome bonus but requires a solid hard surface. Had to buy a wooden panel to put over my plastic carpet protector cuz my place has fairly deep carpet.

Its only exploitation if you don’t pay them in exchange for their goods and services.

STOP giving the COnsuMer WHAt they WANTTTTT!!!NOOOOOOOO MY SLOPCORE BUSINESS CANT COMPETE WITH ACTUAL GOODS AND SERVICES.

Ehhh, you’d be surprised what the modern drawing board can do.

None. Those objects are all constructed at runtime.

Head transplant/Body transplant.

IIRC it was going to be attempted around ~10 years ago but the head being transplanted had a change of heart (though I suppose he didn’t want to have a change of heart would be more accurate phrasing)

The vast VAST majority of the world believes some kind of invisible man lives in the sky and controls everything. These people spend hours each week going to book clubs to not even have discussion just blindly listen to someone read the fanfiction.

You bet your fucking ass they fall for this shit.

Look, I might not know much about this whole “reading and writing” thing, but I do know them smary pants billionaires do it all the time and they all ended up being child rapists so I sure and hell ain’t gonna try to learn it.

Soldiers are trained to believe they are a replaceable cog, and they have no agency. They’re collecting a paycheck and going to work like everyone else.

Its the same ethos as its always been: Pray you don’t get deployed before your contract is up, figure out how to delegate responsibility, and enjoy the ride to upper-poor class.

Hahahaha what a funny story consumer, anyways how’s your sex life?

Notepad.exe, pre-windows 11. Now it’s something else entirely but still uses the name :(

That one wasn’t wrong about the subject matter, just had the implementation a little off.

So you’re saying that in order to win we must do nothing? Alright I’m pretty good at that.

I ain’t using the skull emoji as a replacement for perfectly good ASCII

Ask for professional legal help, randoms online can’t help you with this. The answer is highly nuanced and depends on the specific manner in which you have things phrased.

GOTTA ASTROTURF THAT WEBSITE FOR ADVERTISERS BAYBEE. CANT WAIT FOR GITHUB POPUPS.

I’m thoroughly confused about WhiteDeal.

A service where one contracts other white supremacists to do menial ad hoc jobs for a cost under the market price just seems so very antithetical to the whole “supremacy” thing.

Acquaintance** is the word you’re looking for. An Acquittance is a statement/document that says you paid off/no longer owe a debt.

Therapy. Right now. We are random strangers on the internet. In the year 2026 that means 99.9999999999999% of us are terminally online losers that not only don’t care about you personally, but we’re also data harvesting AIs that can’t personally care about anything.

Having said that; That’s a rough place to be man. Life sucks, and then you die. I’ve been in a similar place, and even those of us great at making friends struggle with understanding the fundamentals. You are taking actions that are proven and well understood friendship catalysts. It is not your actions making you feel this way, it is a feedback loop stemming from a combination of a lack of skill and a selection bias. Comparison is the thief of joy, as they say.

Something that helped me a lot when I had similar experiences was simply being more direct. People struggle with understanding subtly and context clues. Subtly is one of the hardest communication forms to master. You struggle with social situations. Act like a child, pretend you are writing for Netflix, and literally just full on exposition your feelings to people. “I am trying to make new friends, because I am lonely.” “I would like to date you, because I like you” “I also like XYZ, can I be invited to XYZ?” Always frame it with some form of reasoning: I want X Because Y // Because Y, I want X. Yes it feels stupid, yes you will look childish, yes you will often be given very patronizing reasons why you can or can’t be included, but in terms of social cues you lack both knowledge and a matured set of skills. Socially speaking you are effectively a caveman; put down the scalpel and stop trying to use nuanced surgical precision until you’ve mastered the basics of unga bunga with a social machete.
