You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

  • All I know is:

    “You’re gonna love Hytale bro, it’s gonna be great bro, just wait bro, seriously, JUST WAIT!” - Everyone, every year since twenty fucking fifteen.

    I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with any of this information, I kinda lost investment. If the game is ever done, great I will try it. If not, I won’t be at all surprised.




  • Absolutely, we definitely need to ramp up shaming men for not knowing what to do with their emotions. That really worked out great over the last 20 years.

    Now that every miserable 4chan incel is a grown adult in positions of power and in many cases running our world.

    I hate misogynistic assholes as much as the next decent person who has people they care about, but the online discourse has been nothing but damaging and it’s primarily because people seek out whatever validates their feelings. The worst people read the worst messages. This won’t end unless the internet ends.




  • Making it somehow your fault is another amazing trick by thr corpos to shift the blame for what they do on people who has nothing to do with it.

    If you have a better plan that individual people can do who don’t want to fight corporations, be sure to put in the same effort to spread those ideas as well.


  • Ain’t nobody going to educate the millions of people who don’t give two shits about facts and science about the vast diversity of bee species and other flying insects.

    If people start doing more to help “honey bees” broadly like growing wild flowering plants and reducing pesticide use, it will also help the other native species.

    Let me put it another way, we need to BE VERY CAREFUL about trying to over-lecture about this kind of situation. We’re in a climate where trying to teach people knowledge isn’t received as a gift or benefit. Teachers are tuning their lessons for 7-minute attention spans and high emotional sensitivity, we all need to do the same.

    If you look at relationships like this, like there is some fixed set of people you are compatible with and that number exists outside of whatever personal adaptability or compromise you’re willing to make, then the number is probably actually a lot higher for a population of 8 billion people. Few people have any clue how large of a number that is.

    Then if you DO factor in that a relationship is two-way, and you change, and your partner change over time to better adapt to each other and assuming you both want the best outcome, then that adds a variable that makes that number jump WAY up.

    Depending on how much you’re willing to change or adapt, you can almost make that number anything you want. Of course, this isn’t the way to have a healthy relationship, your difficult choice is always deciding how much you’re going to change for someone, how much of your mental and emotional energy for change they are worth, and what your worth is as you are right now.

    If your answer to that last question is “none” then that magic number drops to almost zero. Having no self-worth (or specifically, things about yourself that you’re not willing to change because of your values and ethics and desires for your future) radically reduces the number of people you might have success with. It seems counter-intuitive, but your adaptability, or passiveness in a relationship can do as much harm as being a stubborn ass.

    Of course, looking at relationships this way of odds and numbers and ratios is utter horseshit, but ya’ll kids fantasizing about anime waifus and werewolf boyfriends and crying yourself to sleep because you can’t figure out the “magic trick” to being liked loooove to look at your lives in the lens of numbers and rules and systems.

    Meanwhile, in reality, it’s more like the gambler’s fallacy. If the ball landed on red 40 times in a row, it says nothing about what color it will land on next. The person you will spend the rest of your life with happily may bump into you at the dollar store tomorrow and you both just feel so good about each other that you both make whatever changes and efforts needed to make it work. Life doesn’t actually follow any systems or rules of odds.



  • This meme is the exact way outside influences have sabotaged all of our social messaging and desires for a better future.

    A lot of people who think they’re progressive are going to latch onto this idea and start saying dumb shit like “Doordash is racist” and they will get scorn and eye-rolling from literally everyone else, ruining the actual thing we should be recognizing, which is the wealth inequality that pushes people to deliver other people’s food using their own car and without healthcare or benefits.

    Doordash’s problems have nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the wealthy pinching off our lives at every possible avenue.



  • I hear this argument about honeydew all the time, that it can be flavorless.

    Well that’s the same with most fruit, it’s called “ripeness” and not every fruit ripens at the same rates, so you tend to get some less sweet than others.

    I think people just hate the “investment” of cutting open a whole melon and it not being good, so instead of learning how to tell how ripe it is, they just swear off the fruit.

    Fine, more for me.

    I know this is a PEMDAS joke, one of many for the PEMDAS throne.

    But yeah, we need to really, really worry about the coming day when “math becomes a democracy” and that is already happening for a wide array of other facts and knowledge about the world.

    Whatever “civility politics” liberals infested our collective minds with have to be abandoned. We have to get a lot harder and a lot less tolerant of other people’s “beliefs” even if you think “Well they’re only harming themselves by thinking 1x1=4” but they’re not, we need to start viewing these people as threats to our future. We no longer live in isolation, whatever bullshit your parents drove into you about “nothing on the internet being real and shouldn’t matter” was utter hogwash and even less relevant in 2025/2026. We get everything from the internet, including a sense of community and connection, which is why nutsoids find each other and turn something like a joke about earth being flat into an entire anti-science movement.

    If you’ve ever seen those dumb sci-fi shows or movies where science if forbidden and people caught learning science are punished, and thought “that’s so unrealistic” well I have some real bad news for you.
