I concur. Let’s see some positive things. Lord knows I need it.

More like a gnat in a manure pit. But do go on.

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.

Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.

O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don’t get paid either but it’s an hour I’m off work and it does save lives.

I liked this joke better when it was about async. Fits the purpose better.

Lol equating words with physical actions. Guess us retards are in good company here. Have a seat.

All slurs should be “acceptable”. Words only have the power attributed to them by humans. (Other) humans can choose to wield that power, to change it, or to leave it be. But policing language is never the answer; people will always find ways around it anyway, and 1984 warned us of the results of having language policed to an extensive degree.

I’m sure some cunt will take issue with this stance, so to them I say in advance: suck my goddamn dick from balls to shaft and then go die in a ditch, bitch.

Disagreed. As a certified lifelong retard with the papers to back it up medically, I will never relinquish my right to refer to myself however I want. If someone else takes offense, it’s 100% on them.

Remember, offense is always taken, never given.

Encrypted DNS traffic => oh noed, what now?

With the advent of smartphones with cameras, you’d think reports and footage of anything would be through the roof. That hasn’t happened, quite the opposite.

That tells me all I need to know.

Timing is everything. I once had “most upvoted post of the day” and like 20K karma from a stupid joke that was a reply to the first top-level comment on a default sub. The only reason that happened was because it got into “rising” exactly as the US users started waking up and opening the site.

I could’ve posted the exact same comment on any other post in that thread or even the same one but at a different time, and no one would’ve seen it.

All the more reason not to post it in the first place.

You can actually participate in discussions. On the popular Reddit subs, you click a thread and there are 9000+ replies already. No matter how insightful your post, no one’s gone see it.

Absolutely. Has been a hot minute though. In my late teens and early twenties I regularly woke up depressed AF knowing that what I just felt was all just a dream.

Haven’t had this in the last two decades or so, but you never fully forget the feeling of helplessness as you realize that “bliss” actually exists, but it’s perpetually out of your reach.

Yeah lol never lived in a house big enough to have a hallway, let alone across multiple floors.

Check my post history, there’s a picture.

Phimosis

The most intense physical pain I ever felt was waking up after impacted wisdom tooth removal. One side of my face was appr. 3x the size of the other.

The second worse was last week; waking up from anaesthesia after having all 22 remaining teeth removed. It’s slightly better now and I’d put it at 8,5/10.

The worst pain I’ve ever felt was mental though. It started almost three decades ago when my father killed himself when I was a teen. To be honest, I never recovered. I’m a shell of a human being begging for release (death) daily while being too much of a coward to actually do it.

Oh, and after returning to work with 0 teeth, my coworkers now amuse themselves by making me say tongue breakers. I already knew they didn’t like or respect me before all this, but this really drove a dagger into my heart because it was someone I never would have expected it from. I’ve been at this company for 10 years and in this team for 5 and I’m fighting a daily urge to follow in my father’s footsteps.

He really had the right idea. I was pissed at him back then but I have more understanding and respect for his decision every single day.

Employment? At least, the period between 9 & 5 feels like eternity to me.
