Is saying “not everyone is shitty” toxic positivity? I’m not denying the presence of malicious humans, but the first step to becoming a bad person is believing that everyone else is too.

What’s your end goal here - what are you trying to communicate? Just that the world is bad and people should agree with that fact and do nothing?

I don’t really mean to say that you can’t express your feelings on the Internet or that they aren’t valid, but I do just want to kinda poke people who seem to be in this “people are awful” mindset and point out that our psychology and our information ecosystem are all heavily biased towards the negative, but it’s not the complete picture.

Hey look at this guy! He’s met every human that’s ever existed, ignored all the times that humans have been good and caring, and has decided that we’re completely cooked!

But for real, I get that misanthropes are “in” right now, but if you look for the helpers, you will generally find them. Most people in the world are not out to cause pain - actively malicious people are rare. We just focus a shit ton of our attention on them.

The male loneliness is that feeling of having the burden of all your relationships in your shoulders, knowing that if you don’t go after people people won’t ever go after you. And that can be devastating with time.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it put so succinctly. Maybe this isn’t everything, but it is the root of the feeling for me. I’m constantly reaching out and checking in and it’s more rare for the reverse to happen (though it’s really important to notice when it does, which is something I’m trying to do more now).

Without points in gun skills, it will take a very long time to aim each shot. It’s not really a FPS skill issue, but more that your ability to do things are heavily influenced by how you build your character.

Here’s how you Grape Nut:

Pour a small pile (like a cup or so) in a bowl.

Take a spoonful of peanut butter and use the backside of the spoon to mix up the PB and GN. Smash it together for longer than you think until it’s well mixed.

Top with a drizzle of honey and then pour milk over it.

S-tier breakfast.

Those are the generic name for many ADHD medications, like Adderall.

Muppet Marvel could be so good.

If you have a lot of DRM free games and want to have your own backup copies and be able to easily share them with your household, this does that. It isn’t for hosting games you buy through Steam or other DRM-protected platforms. It’s for giving you an interface to easily search and download your own library of games that you could get from a bunch of different sources, so you don’t have to go look up your credentials that you used to buy the game to re download it.

Why can’t shitposts also be wholesome?

I can’t seem to visit that site without it completely redirecting my browser to a full screen ad saying I had been “wiretapped”, so I googled it, and I cannot find any confirmation of that happening. Every article says Victoria Beckham is still not fully confirmed and nothing substantial has been announced.

If the server owner gives the bot access to those permissions and the users have activity sharing enabled, yep.

Giving feedback is the first step to contributing.

It sounds like you have a drastically different experience with exercise than others, to the point that you might want to talk to someone about it? Very few people get as mentally stressed when exercising as you seem to be describing.

Best bad movie of all time. It’s one of a few that are consistently entertaining and never boring. I show it to people at least once a year.

I realized that I was accidentally voting on posts while scrolling in Jerboa.

Push back when you see it. Remind them that we have a chance to reset, and they don’t have to act the same way here that they did on reddit.

Hello fellow Longmonster! Nextlight is life!

For real. It’s so frustrating how someone will just text “let’s hang out” or “let’s play games tonight” and it’s always me who has to go the extra step of “OK sure how about 7?”

I mean, there are absolutely things that you should do just to improve your approachability. Good hygiene, to start.

Depression is definitely a factor for many people. But the death of 3rd spaces is fairly well documented. The problem is that many people don’t know how to make friends. Friends very rarely happen instantly, they usually are a result of repeated and consistent interactions. Adults rarely seek out situations that would give them those types of interactions outside of work and school.
