a lot of those kinda guys i knew were assholes when it came to women. like especially when you talked to them about a past ex they’d go into a rant about how they were such a bitch or whatever and how crazy she was. tbh i don’t trust any man that loves pretty words but doesn’t follow through on them in their actions.

point is the whole “good guys get pussy” thing is just world fallacy. plenty of assholes that get pussy exist.

i don’t know, as someone who has questioned god’s existence since age 14 or so, there have been events in my life where i swear some form of providence intervened. so after reflecting on this for a year straight i think i’m a christian again because i can’t accept that this world and its happenings are one cosmic coincidence. in my mind that’s impossible.

you’re free to choose to live as you wish and i’m gonna be real the heaven/hell stuff is decidedly bullshit, at least the way modern christians interpret it. i just wanted to get it out there that we aren’t all unquestioning buffoons. i don’t subscribe to any one specific sect. i don’t go to church. i haven’t read the bible in years. i accept that i may be wrong, but i believe that having a relationship with the christian god as i understand him is what i need and have been missing for some time.

fuck that bullshit. while they do have the right to exclude who they want, i have the right to be harshly critical. and i will say that any community where one is compelled to disclose any part of their identity as a requirement to participate is a toxic one. i suspect any account is subject to being pressured into proving they aren’t a man if the mods want to harass someone that way. this is why i am not and will never be a feminist in a million years.

this reminds me way too much of the “let women have their own spaces” rhetoric when it comes to cis women wanting to exclude trans women. you can’t expect the people who you are actively excluding from your group not to be a little hurt by it, even if it isn’t something they’d be interested in.

i genuinely wouldn’t have a problem with windows users on linux forums or console gamers on pc forums. maybe you should get over it.

you’re supposed to put it into shady cryptocurrencies. that’s your money making money for you, homeless people haven’t unlocked nft strats yet

i don’t think normies out here know how to use p2p or even a simple ftp server. people think of content as the websites they get it from, like the way youtube is synonymous with watching videos over the internet.

ignoring any political misgivings, brave’s always been a bloated trash heap that pushes its own ecosystem on you with unnecessary services. my advice would be to use either librewolf or use firefox and manually turn off all the telemetry and useless features you don’t care about (side-eyes pocket). if you are a die-hard chrome user ungoogled chromium seems to be the best option. really anything you might (dubiously) get from brave you can get from a browser that doesn’t try and hawk its cryptocurrency at you.

afaik duckduckgo isn’t terrible but it’s definitely been caught collecting information on your searches. better than google i guess. you could give searx a try though its self-hosted nature means it’s up to the discretion of the host what it wants to collect

outside of like academic settings, anything should go. check out the previous sentence where i inserted an unnecessary “like” as an example. it reflects my train of thought and i type as i think. same thing should go for slang and stuff, if the best way to get your point across is with ideas that have not been accepted by the academic world then that’s totally skibidi tubular, man.

yeah pretty much. sometimes i feel like the only thing standing in the way of a job that could serve as an entry point into IT/software engineering is me. but i’ve tried everything and have gotten nothing but radio silence and rejections. i developed personal projects, cleaned up my linkedin page, networked with others that happened to be in the field when i worked retail, revised and revamped my resume several times over. my standards were low to begin with, now they’re below the floor. nothing’s come of it. i don’t know what the secret sauce is. i really don’t know what else there is to do besides succumb to neetdom and chronic dependence. my stupid ass applied for a master’s program too, i guess i’m hoping that things are somehow better once i’m finished with that. or so that i can keep telling myself that i’m the one in control lmao.

to give an answer to a rhetorical question: because firing people based on weight is a can of worms being opened. while it’s still technically not illegal to fire someone because their weight makes them “unfit,” the ada can be invoked if said obesity is caused by a disorder (e.g., type 1 diabetes). this ignores the fact that it’s hard to prove that someone would be unfit just for their weight; it just opens up employers to lawsuits. a simpler way to think about it would be to ask yourself if the guy handing out speeding tickets is “unfit for duty” solely because he’s obese.

who the fuck asked for this
