Thanks for posting this! Being male and being abused is a very isolating experience on many levels. I wish good things upon you, friend.

Good on him for walking it back, but you have friends that are LGBT and you still felt comfortable saying that stuff? Snoop can get his bag elsewhere because I won't support him again

I'm always super hesitant to comment on stuff like this because I don't want to be lumped in with the fascists but I'm going to break that rule just this once. When people hear "Male Loneliness Epidemic", it means different things to different people. It appears to me as most left leaning people hear, "I don't have a woman that caters to me and my needs". For myself it means, "I don't have a Support System of friends and family to lean on." A partner would be great but I would get far greater satisfaction in gaining a group of friends or a sense of belonging. Paired with likely Autism and ADHD, things aren't super rad for me on any aspect of life. That's all my own stuff to deal with though.

The takeaway is I hope anyone reading this is doing okay, regardless of gender. I may not get the struggles of your life, but I hope you are overcoming them.

For me personally, it's a combination of factors. A non zero number of my exes lost interest after a while and it damaged my ego pretty badly. Dating Apps are a string of getting ghosted with the occasional date that leads to me paying for drinks and dinner, only to get ghosted. I've always been a shy person and I can only handle so much failure before I don't want to play anymore. I missed out on the high school and college dating scenes and it shows. There is one common denominator in all of my dating failures and it's me.

Can't have my group chats leaked if I don't have any!

Small story. I've done more than my fair share of shrooms in my day. My guy stopped growing them and raised turtles instead, but that's not the point. I found a new person to acquire them from and being an "expert" psychonaut, I took about the same amount as always(4g) expecting a pretty moderate trip. Turns out the new guy knows how to grow some spicy Bois and I couldn't handle 4g of them. I'm not advocating for drug use, but if you plan on taking shrooms, remember that every bag is different and I am a huge proponent of taking a micro dose of any new batch before going for a macro dose. Dip your toes in before diving head first Anyway, this meme is literally me. Gave me a giggle

All of the Souls games kinda have an easy mode baked in. Ranged weapons/Sorceries generally provide an easier experience. Honestly though, I just find I don't really care if there is an easy mode or not. I enjoyed the challenge and if a difficulty slider was added, it would not have detracted from my experience in the slightest. I played through the games for the challenge and I enjoyed it immensely. If someone else doesn't enjoy the challenge, then that's okay. I'm not going to gatekeep them. We're all SunBro's at our core and I will always drop my Summon Sign for others in need to find

Well... Can't get one of those now. :(

One of those games you can only experience once. Such a masterpiece!!

I yearn for the day when violence isn't a fundamental part of the human soul. Whatever political ideology leads to this, it can't be worth it can it?

Kind of related, but overall hat fashion has declined since the Industrial Revolution. I wish to wear a flower adorned floppy wizard hat but all I get are baseball hats. :(

Let that fella wear a stylish floppy hat.

Cool to see that shitting on addicts isn't just a shitty American thing. We aren't as different as I thought!

Stuff like this is why I don't tell people I game. The Gamer Stink is real and I don't want to be guilty by association. Seriously, go touch grass. The things that you're denigrating someone else for are pixels and code on a computer. Find some way to not be garbage humans.

Her music is interesting. Hope she ends up happier

The FOSS community doesn't need this kind of mentality. "Us reasonable users" really tells what you think about people with different lifestyles to your own. Quit being weird and fracturing the FOSS community. The Corpos don't need the help

This was the push I needed to get off Windows completely. Some update broke Bluetooth connectivity. It's penguins all the way down for me now.

I hate the phrase, "full blown melted toblerone". Thanks for sharing 🤣

I got mocked and laughed at the last time I ate alone. Your mileage may vary :/

Lowkey Wife material. That level of levity is super attractive

Israel has a right to defend itself from kids, firefighter, aid workers, civilians, etc. All of these are so menacing and scawwy!
