I’m also going to think the absinence-only education plays a role. I know people in their 20s today who didn’t understand: lube, protection, HIV, pregnancy. Some of them were HIV+ before they knew what happened. People are confused and uneducated. Thanks Christians!

One of the first things I did with my 3D printer was create wood screws - as in, screw made out of wood plastic. Fun pocket giveaway.

I am the donor for a lesbian couple. I’m pretty involved in my son’s life. I took him for his third haircut. Midway through, he was bored, and shooting me one of the angriest looks I’ve ever gotten from him. I took a pic and sent it to his mom.

“Oh god look how mad he is, give him your phone!”

What? He’s being quiet and learning how to be patient while a haircut happens. Some parents think reality is a BAD substitute for devices, it seems.

At least one night a week, he comes to my house and plays without any screens. We talk and explore the world.

Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don’t have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

You don’t act like they do - just the money hoarding beyond belief, not to mention releasing products they know cause mental harm - if you want everyone to be OK.

I got tired of waiting for UMR to get around to approving my MRI so I went inpatient and stayed at the hospital for 2 days on their dime having an emergency MRI and surgery which could have been outpatient, had they been willing to work quickly.

Gay dude here, it seems to be. We have the loneliness epidemic here too, but we’re actually organizing and fighting it, because we’re used to do that. Our cishet counterparts are definitely not equipped to do that. Women are socalized much earlier than boys, and they’re taught that the social order is theirs for keeping. Girls are simply raised to be better at this. By the time men realize what’s happened with the natural funneling of friends through the parenting years - usually those late 20s and early 30s where it suddenly starts to become really difficult to overcome the friendship hump.

I can’t comment on the whole incels taking hold of this concept, because it’s something I’ve just had explained to me in the past week. I can definitely see the gender/sexuality lines on this in real life tho (I started and run a nonprofit to create community for GBT+ men in my state).

Everyone should be forming real-life groups on discord, be in cells, be part of several, everyone should be linked like chain mesh.

Me on drugs washing the dishes

B/W film was still cheaper through the 80s and so color photography was very much optional.

Oh I’ve heard the “bisexual men don’t exist” thing a million times, often from gay men.

I like to shut the conversation down by waving around the statistic that for every gay man, there are 3 bisexual men.

My dreams managed to conjure my Mac login screen which, pretty impressive. Let me try to log in for quite a while as my panic increased.

Mmm no the character was actually based on his father, Shyguy Boo Bowser

Easier than you think, just a week or two of minor side effects, headache being the worse. Tylenol helps.

Your energy starts rebounding after only a few days, within a month or two, you feel a sustained, normal amount of energy through your day that doesn’t suddenly spike and drop.

And then after a few months you forget why you stopped, and start drinking that amazing coffee again <-- I am here

My name is not “hey mister” so I don’t think it’s rude to ignore. Especially since they’re going to give you a line about having to get gas to visit their kid. Let’s skip the lying and get right to the point.

I hope they tell us when it starts because I won’t notice otherwise

Yeah I loved on capitol hill a dozen years ago and even then, all the hardcore hippies and weirdos were being wrung out of the neighborhood by developers and the bubble they bring. All of Seattle is totally different from 10, 20 years ago, which is totally different from 30, 40 years ago. None of it is for the better.

Well my decision to cancel Spotify last month is already paying off.
