Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.

Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.

Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we’ll never really stop pollution because super heros aren’t real lol

A stable career path, a loving relationship, and permanent housing.

More concise: Stability.

It’s all I ever wanted and seemingly the only thing I can never have even since childhood. I move every 2 years on average and since adulthood that’s been from basement apartment to basement apartment and now to a garage with no end in sight… I finally got to the point where I could consider buying a house and then COVID, WFH, and the invesestment parasites all blew up at once and took that away from me… I gave up on the relationship bit years ago.

“Pwease pwease US, pwease help us defend ourselves! It’s self defense! We’re just poor poor innocent Israel trying to defend ourselves from the dirty invading barbarian hoards!”

“Attempted to fix the issue, but the problem exists between the keyboard and chair.”

I’m rapidly approaching 40, but I’m there too.

Most “normal” people see watching a movie or playing a game as a passive experience, you’re “doing nothing.”

For me that couldn’t be more wrong. I almost never “just” watch a movie or show, that’s wayyyy too passive for me. Playing a game is engaging, you may not be physically running around, but you absolutely are “doing something.”

I honestly thought this was an AI image or something because what the actual fuck?

“McDonald’s: you’re going to die anyway so eat here!”

like a corrupted judge, who can let his buddies off free

US “judge” Cannon enters the chat.

(VOLT). Not affiliated btw, but they sparked my interest.

Intentional or not, I’m here for it lol

Just want to back this one up: as someone rapidly approaching 40 who never loved himself, if anything absolutely loathes himself, repeating to yourself how absolutely horrible of a failure you are and how completely and utterly undeserving of anyone’s love you are daily will cement itself in your head as absolute fact.

I can no longer actually comprehend that I can do anything well. I’m either a complete failure, or if I did it literally anyone with 2 braincells can. I actually do not believe anyone who says otherwise, it has become an objective truth in my brain backed up by decades of “evidence.”

I got way too comfortable with my cats nickname that if anyone actually heard me they’d think I have no idea what animals are lol my first reaction was “aww monkey got kisses!” :P

That’s almost exactly why our brainwashing elementary schooling is spent indoctrinating teaching us about how we’re The Best, Most Free, Country In The World™©® and that all “3rd world” countries are war torn shitholes with nothing but cartels and warlords.

Can’t let the peons learn it’s actually much better elsewhere…

5 weeks is… pretty minimal

15 days is the limit at my job that you only get after 7 years working here. Seeing comments like this make me sad… Happy for you for sure, but sad for me cuz Murica’…

I only just this month “unlocked” my final week PTO after 7 years… 15 days PTO is the limit at my job :/

I would think that would be “too much” because all the potatoes don’t matter at that point, it’s one entity. There are no more individual potatoes, we are Borg mashed potatoes!

Guys you just don’t understand… How is Israel supposed to fight Hamas when they’re hiding in cans of vegetables!? It’s not Israels fault that Hamas uses sandwiches to hide their operations in!

One of only a handful of actually accurate answers here. 10 years isn’t that long to be honest. Just look back 10 years and see how similar it all is.

He’s also trying to help make that happen

My reply is almost always: life isn’t a fairy tale. Some of us will remain single having never found/taken the opportunity to meet someone who wants to be with us because all life is without intrinsic meaning or purpose.

We may create our own meaning or purpose, but there is no part of life that is written in stone that simply “will be because it is ordained.”

I know who I am, an extremely “acquired taste,” who is often too cynical and very very much self loathing. Above all else though, and probably worst of all for my dating prospects, I never want to live with a dog lol
