We just tell you some stupid shit to leave us alone, and you’re buying it.
If you aren’t willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don’t expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.
Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.
This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it’s an utterly lost concept now. It’s no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.
Dude needs to finish off How it’s Made. They don’t show you how everything is made, but they cover so damn much that you can probably take a pretty decent stab at it.
How is that dumb shit? Tires are high tech!
I guess because a boy thought it
No, women need to understand how interesting the making of bike tires is.
Real 😂 Sometimes silence is just “brain buffering,” not a mood. Quick check-in + no assumptions saves everyone a lot of stress.
I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.
They can’t. They’re self obsessed and project their thoughts about themselves onto men, claiming men are simple yet failing to understand them. If they were quiet it would be because they’re angry, so he has to be angry. They see themselves reflected in others, they don’t see the other. It’s why women have to conform into a homogeneous identity so they can understand each other by being each other.
I’m sorry your youth was tough on you and that you accidentally discovered the internet just amplifies whatever you’re feeling until it takes away your happiness and hope entirely.
I promise if you get better at talking to people and listening broadly, you will have better experiences in the future and you will feel very, very silly that you ever held these thoughts, much less shared them with the world. Trust me, your future doesn’t have to be alone and angry.
The alternative is not good. You only get once chance at all this, don’t ruin it by letting the thoughts, words and rantings of other angry people take away your free will.
What are you on about? My life is awesome.
Yah, you sound so balanced and happy bro. I wish I was as satisfied with life as you. 🙄
You could’ve said “I’m an incel” in just three words instead of this whole paragraph.
That isn’t as fun though.

Average .world user for sure, they almost as bad as .ml at this point
Can’t get a date can you?
I’m whatever you need me to be to avoid the truth.
You’re not a victim, there is no truth other than what you make for yourself and your life.
Your negative feelings, outlook and ruminations are all your own and only your own. Actually growing up and being a man means accepting that you can shape your life any way you want and the reason you’re unhappy is because you’re holding onto it for some reason, usually because you desperately want someone to recognize how unhappy you are.
Nobody is coming man. You gotta do this on your own. You’re never going to get the recognition and compassion you wish you had, at least not from other miserable people on the internet who also are just desperately seeking validation for their sadness.
Is this your diary entry or something?
That’s a terrible comeback.
Oh right, so you do realise that you sound like a pathetic incel. At least you’ve got that going for you.

If you can’t hear criticism without needing to hide behind dismissive personal insults, then that’s just your damage to manage.
You’re the one complaining about criticism. You made an utterly moronic sexist comment were called out on your utterly moronic sexist comment and then started whining.
Is moronic your favorite word?

Vulcanized rubber
And steel mesh.
How do they get the rubber out of the volcano?

Bicycle tires were invented by Dunlop and improved by Michelin.
You know these names, because it actually wasn’t a dumb idea.
I found out if I really focus on my breathing I can stop thinking for a short while and often practice that.
When I try that, music starts playing in my head. There’s never any quiet there.
Then she asks him if he’d still love her if she was an amoeba.
I would have to leave out of fear… I don’t think I know how to take care of an amoeba, and the last thing I want to do is accidentally breathe you in or something 😔
That’s when you know she’s a keeper.
Normalize understanding that men and women aren’t very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.
For anyone wondering:
Take a paper towel, grip both ends, gently place paper towel over the stinkbug and close both ends keeping the length taut (not putting any pressure or touching where the stinkbug is, just letting the U-shaped fold in the center where you are not touching enclose the stinkbug). Gently twist to seal exits while not squeezing the stinkbug.
You are now holding a paper towel with a non-activated stinkbug. Do what you will with that stinkbug.
Hey psst-… I heard that Townlately was into you
You are out here providing solutions, and I appreciate it.
I don’t understand how the paper towel completely encompasses the bug when bug’s little feet is on a solid surface. How does the paper towel get under his feet?
And where did your “u-shaped fold” come from if we are holding the paper towel taut from both ends?
Put a paper towel flat on a table (long side left to right, if you have a half size towel). Take your pointer finger and thumb on each hand, and touch the left thumb to the bottom left corner of the towel, left pointer to the top left, and mirror on the right hand. Keeping the left-right length of towel taut, slowly pinch both hands. From the side view, the towel’s center will rise on the left-right axis (the U-shape). Finish pinching to complete the motion.
The bug’s center of gravity is above the feet, so it turns out that as long as you keep the paper towel taut, the body is lifted and it quickly attaches its feet to the towel.
At what point in this process does the bug get on the paper towel?
You are imagining the towel coming from underneath. They are describing the towel coming from above.
Imagine the stink bug is on the ceiling and reread the instructions.
When you pinch the ends. You’re effectively bending the two-dimensional space of the paper towel into three dimensional space encompassing the bug.
I fucking give up trying to get you to make any sense.
I believe they mean using the paper towel as tweezers. You fold it in half and use the 2 touching brims to pick up the bug, while only putting force by pulling the corners away from each other.
Sounds like… You gave up on you? It’s really not important information, but I tried.
So you mean you now have a stink grenade or trap.
I’ve found killing them with fire is both effective and retributionally entertaining.
But that was the '80s, when kids running around with the spray varathane and a zippo was kinda okay.
I kinda hate stinkbugs.
Did… did you marry her?
It’s sad that I read this and the first thought was not about how similar we can be but more, “well…I suppose if you were gentle…”
How is that dumb?! Can you explain how bike tires are made then? Yeah, that’s what I thought!!
They extrude the rubber into a tube then melt the ends together and valve into the side.
I’m sorry I’m going to need a 15-minute video with lots of cheesy very unfunny jokes.
Here is 25 Minutes about a bike tire is produced from dandelions. Though it’s only in German. But that also means there are no jokes.
