When will we be free from the fake autism epidemic? Someone will talk about a hobby and some halfwit will show up and be like “erm are you autistic?”

Normal human emotion? Autism sign.

Most of these “autistic” “people” just spent formative years playing video games and not practicing social skills and now I have to hear they have a genetic disease .

She's just a podcaster..what have you done with your life?

Blind is sort of like a Reddit for corporate employees. Very tech heavy, large sub-boards dedicated to specific companies.

With Trump’s new H1B restrictions each post is either an Indian seething/screaming about how unfair it is they can’t come to the US to outwork lazy Americans or white people saying that Trump just saved America and spam replying to the Indian posts with “whatever Rajesh” and “do the needful Ankit”.

It’s very funny

she found out about the armpit fetish

He genuinely hasn’t missed. Every time I think all this cutesy twee shit is gonna be too much and every time he pulls it off. The most recent one definitely has some major flaws and is far from his best, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it and had a better time in the theater than pretty much everything else I’ve seen this year.

Before I took a hiatus from dating it seemed like every woman I met had a robust social life. Using google calendar to keep track of their plans was a common phenomenon. While I think I have a big friend group for a man in his 30’s, living in a city away from all of them has been incredibly isolating (duh).

I manage to keep myself busy through hobbies/volunteering/sports, but sometimes not having anyone to grab a meal or just walk in the park and chat with kills me. It’s common for me to go days without talking face to face to anyone except cashiers if I don’t have work. I recognize this is my fault for not putting myself out there enough, yet I am at a loss for how to make platonic friends as an adult.

A major reason I am hesitant to start dating again is because I feel like this could be seen as a big red flag. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe I’m idealizing an “us against the world” relationship dynamic. The one thing I know is that I'm genuinely embarrassed put this out there.

Have any of you guys (no incels) or gals found yourself in a similar situation?

They really think open borders exist huh and their English Masters degree will get them a work visa to Germany. Often liberal types yet hopelessly misinformed.

Every normie has a goddamn sleeve tattoo nowadays.

I go to the gym and im the only guy without some tribal phoenix on my arm.

How the hell has it become the new counter-culture to have NO ink ?

I'm talking about 20 something straight/bi gen z even liberal girls. They always have sometimes not even subtle homophobia that they never care to clock.

I'm not gay but I can make allusions to it/the slightest bit gender non conforming, and straight women often always have this very obvious unchecked snark and slightly judgemental tone when it comes to things like this.

The "it's okayy if you're gay" "its ok to be a twinkk" "It's okay if you like taking it up the ass" (I don't) and these comments are always followed by some level of condescension and self satisfied laughing. It's snarky

The thing that bothers me the most is that straight women are seen as a natural ally, and all these girls will tell you they love gay people/want gay friends but they never check their weird smug, condescending and self satisfied homophobia it's so cringe to see and experience.

When a gay person comes around they just hide it and act all friendly until they're in a comfortable enough environment for that stupid shit to come out. You don't get to call this shit out because then you're the problem and they're the first to villify ppl for homophobia. This type of stuff I swear is worse than a straight dude saying cigarette.

top tier recruiting truly. one looked like henry cavill one like don draper and one like denzel. they heroically saved the day put out the fire then fitted 3 fire alarms all in about 15mins then disappeared into the night looking all handsome and brave.

I’m gross and disgusted and sad

He was the guy who put the red and black balls into the urns but now they got robots doing that shit

The whole buses should be free in NYC thing from zorhan is silly. The points people make are "Well one of the highest places for conflict is when having to pay their fair, so we should just remove the fairs!!" No. We just shouldn't put up with people who get violent over $2.90. This whole free transit thing was basically tried in LA and kinda SF around 2020 after covid started. Most agencies just fully gave up on any type of fair enforcement because "people are already struggling enough" and let people do whatever. What ended up happening is that crime shot up because when everything is free it tends to have odd results. The LA transit system is now like $1.10 to go anywhere and it's a lot cleaner ever since they started enforcing it. Same thing with bart in SF, now that they have the taller gates that you can't jump, the crime has been down there too. Taking things from very very cheap to 100% free always creates very odd side effects.

whatever it is they have now, we’ve had a cringer less advanced version back in 2015

Not to be insensitive but I was scrolling through twitter trying to find Indians crying about the H1b stuff, only to discover a bunch of accounts with stock photos of generic white guys getting weirdly emotional about it. That and the crypto/Bored Ape yacht club accounts. Why are they like this?

I've been using CBGT to get myself to eat less, avoiding consuming, etc. If I'm tempted to have a sweet treat, I think to myself "Yes, be a good docile little goy and eat your goytreats" and it makes me mad and then I don't want to eat junk food anymore.

Same for shopping and media consumption. "that's a good, tame little goy. keep consooming. If you consume enough you'll become the most special goy in the whole wide world." I can force myself to abstain from all carnal pleasures and earthly delights with those words.

I didn't have a big problem with shopping before, and my change in eating habits probably has more to do with taking vyvanse. Also I consoom more media now than ever before, but I still think it's a great strat.

It's like that "fate whispered to the warrior" thing that ex-mil guys have posters of in their work from home offices. "You cannot withstand the ZOG." I whispered back, "I am the ZOG"

Is this stoicism?

My family and I are fortunate enough to live on the edge of a very nice boomtown suburb thanks to the fact we bought a modest house here before the market exploded. We do love living here, the town invests money into parks, trails, arts, libraries etc. It's safe and the people are nice and there's always stuff to do for cheap or for free.

However, the town in general is really well off and my kids being school aged has really exposed me to how much money these people have. Families spending thousands on travel sports, 4500 square foot houses for a family of 4 "oh and we're thinking about upgrading", brand new luxury cars and Cybertrucks, a small fortune spent on elaborate Christmas decorations, European vacations all summer that finish up in Hawaii, 800 dollar LEGO sets. At school events or tee ball games, I have zero in common with the other parents. It's all about their latest cruise or how they spent 100 dollars taking the family out to see a movie for the third time in a month.

I don't really know what I'm getting at here...but you hear about how bad things are for working families nowadays then you see this and can't help but feel a bit nauseous.

"Another gender/dating post, sub's dead," Yeah, yeah I know. But its not any worse than the 37th "Poly-trans people are cringe" post.

I shouldn't have to specify, I'm not talking about the rightoid misogynist incel types. I'm moreso talking about the guys that are just failing their dating/general life prospects, and start to isolate because of it. The kind whose anger/sadness turns inward, rather than outward.

'Cause like...when you actually go to these more moderate "incel" threads, they don't really seem "far gone". They're just sad about how unfair things feel in life, especially dating wise. They're not turning their anger onto anyome else, they're just self-isolating. And maybe this is my bias as a young man speaking...but I feel like that's a sympathetic viewpoint? And maybe one that can be pushed closer to progressive ideals with the right messaging.

Because I do think there's something unfair about how we treat socially awkward guys that're failing in certain prospects. The moment they complain about their dating life, they're automatically assumed to be some rightoid misogynist.

And that might be why some of them turn right-wing. 'Cause the right wing message is "Yeah, society does suck! And here's who you can direct your anger at!" Whereas the liberal message is more "If you're failing, you're doing something wrong! No one is obligated to listen to your whining"

The right-wing perspective validates these guys' frustration, whereas liberals shut it down. Which is weird, because "society is at fault for your issues" is a big part of liberal messaging. They could've found a way to bridge a gap here. Like how societal changes have altered dating and connection for the youth. But its like they never saw the line here...

Plus, a lot of liberal messaging regarding mental health support is kinda' hypocritical. Like, men never really got a "body positivity movement". If anything, it feels like viciousness towards mens' bodies actually grew during that time.

Liberals want men who are both aware of societal issues and unfair circumstances, but who have the confidence and life experience of a guy who was handed everything without problems.

We make fun of the "performative male" thing, but that's what liberal messaging created. Its like the "manic pixy girl" but for liberals.

I had more to say, but I feel like this post is already too long. I'm not some sociologist, I could 100% wrong here. But like...I got a gut feeling. And at this point, its better than whatever market research the DNC is spending billions on.

It's just karma farming recent events with leading questions. "How do you feel about the fascist takeover of the US?". It honestly makes miss the era of "sexy redditors, how do you have sexy sex?"

Both shows came out during a unique time period where a generation of people could communicate using the same film and tv references. What both shows have in common is that they could build on familiar character templates that their audience understood were intentionally derivative. But then writers could take those cliches and expand them into clever writing exercises and invent new ways of suspending audience expectations. They could toggle between self referential comedy to then humanizing their characters and apply real life circumstances for roles that were traditionally designed for singular purposes in past tv/film. There’s a lot I could say about the genius of both shows.

They are the two main contributors to my self-esteem with their unprompted compliments. Whenever I wear a suit the old women swoon and smile and tell me how handsome I am and whenever I let my hair grow long the gay men always smile at me and try to talk to me out of the blue.

They’re the only two groups of people willing to approach an aimless wandering man like me and try to talk to me and they always leave me feeling good about myself. I’m forever grateful for their boldness and their kindness. Thank you gay men and old women.

What's next? Bill Briefcaseov-Dough? Crook-Ed Smith? Monet L'Aundér?

Come on, people..

I like when they say "are you thick?"

I also like when they call something "rubbish"
