Well let me share with you the wisdom of age: often you can just ask someone what's up.

This also works on dates: you can just ask someone out. You don't have to go all in your head about it. If only someone had told me when I was a teen, alas.

How old are you?

Have you considered asking what's up?

Things that aren't Nazis might be a good stopping point

I (a guy) think I still have a small plastic off-brand Lego in my desk. I spent a weekend with my high school crush and we found a bunch of them and had goofy fun with them.

Last I heard she'd moved away, married a woman, and had a successful career in science. I doubt she thinks of me, but I'm glad she did well.

I don't accept the premise that it's "humiliating" for a partner to leave.

I don't accept the premise that them leaving is predicated on sexual performance.

I don't accept that f+f sex is inferior to m+f

I'm not even going to go on. Your world view is rigid and not healthy. Maybe spend some time with other people, if they'll have you. Get out of whatever manosphere hole you've fallen into.

It comes up in software development sometimes, which is my day to day. It also is useful for any "fast but inaccurate approach" scenario, which comes up sometimes.

I wouldn't say I'm proud of using it. It was already in my lexicon. (So was "lexicon")

Why do you ask?

What about a dead billionaire?

If someone shot musk or zuckerberg dead I'd be like "That's good. That's an improvement."

Do people still think the courts matter? I feel like the supreme court is a farce and the lesser courts have a lot of far-right judges ready to rule from their feelings.

I guess it's important to still try, but I think real solutions lie elsewhere.

The other day I had a galaxy brain thought: Imagine if people cared. Just cared a little more. Things could be so much better.

Like, litter. Imagine if people just cared a little more and didn't litter. Whole problem just goes away.

If people cared a little more and just canceled their netflix when the price went up (or they did other nonsense), maybe things would change.

But I'm told I have impossible standards and people cannot meet my expectations.

Did anyone want this? MMOs are kind of passé. There's a couple big ones still kicking around (WoW, Guild Wars 2, final fantasy) but there's a huge graveyard and hospice for all the others.

We could do a lot for climate change, world hunger, homelessness, disease prevention and eradication, and so on with that much money.

All of these people are doing mass murder via opportunity cost, and I hope they pay for it.

If americans were on average smarter and better informed, then we wouldn't be in this situation. I don't think the majority of people will understand what's happening. They'll blame the jewish space lasers or gay frogs or whatever instead.
