Ah yes, going out on the balcony for a smoke, maybe some sunlight.

I have tidal now for over 2 years and I am very satisfied with it. Catalogue is all I want and need, quality is amazing and the suggestion feature works very well for me. Discovered quite a lot of new music and old stuff I already forgot about. So I can recommend tidal.

Damn, people are seriously responding to this. I thought it couldn’t be more obvious.

So? What does it matter? What’s the downside? Lemmy needs more content and engagement, here it is.

Btw you are engaging too. If it is bait the intention of your engagement does not matter, only that you engaged, that’s how rage bait works for example.

This problem sounds so stupid and absurd, but that’s what I’m dealing with…

It does not. You’re feeling lonely, desexualized, maybe ostracized - that is tough, it sucks and it’s not stupid. Those feelings are valid and you’re suffering because of those feelings. When people say that their problems or their suffering isn’t worth mentioning or it’s minuscule I always counter that you can drown in an ocean or drown in a puddle, it doesn’t matter, your suffering is real. And when you say you’re feeling lonely - that is always serious, loneliness can be such a deep and heavy feeling that it’s hard to overstate.

not very pretty

If that’s you in your profile picture I would disagree, your eyes are stunningly beautiful. And if not I would still disagree without having ever seen you.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, people are attracted to different things and sometimes people think some things about you are attractive that you don’t even know or think about.

I am sincerely convinced that this is the main reason why men have never approached me. I’m also quite socially awkward

We men are simple, but people in general are complicated. I may be that your young looks are a factor, it may even be a substantial factor, but it surely isn’t the only.

Men are self conscious too, especially younger men. Approaching someone romantically can be super intimidating and even if you can work up the courage, you still have to make your interest clear, I can’t count how often I was able to initiate contact but still failed miserably to convey my romantic intentions. And just because I don’t act or look shy when interacting with you doesn’t mean I am not terrified on the inside.

Your looks are only a part of who you are, looking very young might be a limiting factor for first contact in settings like bars or bigger social events but those are hook up situations and from what I’m reading from you I think it’s not what you need or want necessarily. You want to feel desired, but you also want to feel yourself. You want to feel less lonely. Those are things a hook up won’t fix, at least not lasting, trust me.

Like others mentioned, go out, meet new people, make friends, that will give you more self confidence and you will learn what is desirable about you, physically but also in your character. And once you’ve learned what is desirable and attractive or even admirable about you it will come easier, you learn how to play to.your strengths, what social setting suits you the best, how you make yourself approachable and most importantly - you’ll learn to love yourself for who you are and you will be happy with yourself.

I promise you, you won’t feel that way forever. You’re not there yet, but one day you will. It might not be tomorrow or next week, but it will come sooner or later. Hang in there stranger <3

It still is, this shit is hilarious as an observer.

I love salami, capers and banana on a pizza, don’t judge if you haven’t tried it!

Owls may be elegant and fearsome

For small vermin they may be fearsome but, as a human, have you ever stood in front of a group of huge ass seagulls with a portion of French fries or a sandwich? They are fierce and fearless monsters that will fuck you up for a piece of your food.

The video this is referring to is heavily edited, it relates to a teenage girl allegedly posting threats and insults under a false name, the police officers are there to confiscate the phone of the accused. The mother filmed the incident and then posted a edited version of it to falsify the fact why the officers showed up to confiscate the phone.

Yes, police showing up to confiscate the phone of a teenager is a bad look and the whole thing is messy and weird, but if the allegations are true and the posts and messages caused the recipients distress and fear it is a crime that at least needs to be investigated.

The framing you are choosing now is deeply racist and hateful, further muddying the waters regarding an already troubling incident and pushing racist ideology.

Paper roadmaps often mark scenic roads, the ones I had marked it with a green line following the street, I always made sure to drive those roads, the recommendation never failed.

You write a Lot about Digital Entertainment, make sure to plan your route so you have plenty entertainment on the outside of your car. Don’t just drive highways, they’re boring and ugly and show you nothing of the place you’re traveling through.

Make sure you’re at least a little familiar with your vehicle, like where is the breaker box, how do I access the spare tire, while you’re at it check your insurance for road assistance.

If you’re planning on going to more rural areas make sure to check for gas stations, bringing a 10l fuel canister saved my ass more than once on my trips through rural eastern Europe.

If you’re traveling through different countries, with different languages, write down some phrases like ‘hello’, ‘thank you’ ‘gasoline/gas station’. People were more friendly and often excited when we showed an effort to learn some phrases in their native Languages.

The restaurants packed with locals are the ones you want to visit, especially when it’s a lot of blue collar folk there, usually the food there is cheap and good, the locals will be there for a reason.

If you’re camping check the laws and make sure you know how to start and maintain a safe fire, after a long day of traveling you’ll want to unwind a little, a little music, a fire, some card games are ideal for that, you can read/watch stuff when you’re in bed.

Some people just have silly minds. I tirelessly endeavor to be more like them.

Fr, if earl grey doesn’t count I’m lost

I like when people loudly broadcast that they are assholes, I tend to believe them and can steer clear of them :)

That’s what I was saying and it is very sad.

You’re that guy right now.

Yeah, that’s how the entire entertainment business works, great observation, but that was never the point of contention here.

You, angrily pissing on someones grave to feel morally superior to some Internet strangers is the point why I make fun of you.

Okay grandpa let’s get you back to bed.

For trolling you have to sprinkle in more indifference, you’re still trying too hard and come of as someone with anger issues.

Uh huh, you care so little you absolutely have to write several angry Internet comments. Very edgy indeed.

Edgy

Although I really like the analyses of the main guy; they are very sharp when Jones is rambling & deflecting.

Adding to that: yes those moments are very enjoyable, but if you listen for longer you’ll notice they are around a lot and the replies of dan and Jordan are in a vacuum, they have no impact on what is being rambled about. In those depositions there is actually a professional in the room, that either stops the rambling (there is a moment where one lawyer actually does a “bapbapbap I’m talking, not you” to Alex Jones), or they just deflate all the nonsense with a short remark like “in what way was this an answer to my question” or " do you know what question you are answering right now?". Oh and one of my favorites “that’s a nice opinion to have, but not an answer to my question”.

I think it’s formulaic objections #18 where Steven Crowders is questioned and he tries his “debate me bro” techniques a couple of times and just runs into a wall with his face first. Like, why would you try something like this with a lawyer that has been working your case for months and generally does that shit for a living, do you think there will be a “gotcha” moment, because there.will absolutely be not.

And just for entertainment formulaic objections #3 is Roger Stone being deposed by a lawyer he has been aquatinted with for decades and they absolutely HATE each other, it’s just perfect. Both of them are terrible people and it’s just a delight listen to them being at each other’s throats, but in a legal setting. One highlight is “did you just call me a little bitch?” - “well you certainly act like one”. I laughed out loud more than once during this episode.

Oh yeah, Dans analyses is what carries this show. He is at his best when he is angrily swinging his Analysis like the sword of righteousness, those moments are just perfect.
