Gotta have something to do when he’s not monitoring his son’s porn browsing

Hey it’s me, your therapist. It’s for the nudes.

We’re so fucking back

Thanks for putting yourself on the pyre to prove a point. Hivemind is worse here than Reddit imo, because at least Reddit has a diverse user base…

Drill, impact, etc are pretty much necessary to have cordless. I agree with the corded stuff though. Need an angle grinder or sawzall? Get corded. Way more powerful too.

Haha agreed. You don’t have to go back and forth over several hours or days to sort an issue out when you call. You can just hash it all out over the phone in a fraction of the time, and be on your way.

Oh well, to each their own.

I’d reckon from his parents, but I never saw the incident myself. You know kids in high school though. Spread a rumour and it catches like wildfire. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a machete.

Kid nearly lopped an arm off another kid with a samurai sword. Guess he was bullied and he lost his shit one day. Kid with the sword got help, and the kid who got cut didn’t lose an arm.

If I lived in a country with lax gun control, this would have been a much different situation.

Chemically induced motivation. Just how I like need it

Pretty shitty thing to say, but anyway…

Just because a few big corporations make cereal, doesn’t mean you have an “illusion of choice”. It’s kind of how the system works. A company that makes 1 brand of cereal also makes dozens of hundreds more. They are using processes and equipment already in place to make a slight variation on existing products. It’s kind of just how things work. Same with companies like Asus making dozens of hundreds of variations of monitors. I don’t think that’s illusion of choice. That’s actual choices, with actual differences.

Anecdotally, where I live, large corporations stock the grocery shelves with all their cereals, but local companies do make it in as well. I think in my situation, I do have access to items produced locally.

If you want to make an argument that some dickhead company like Mondelez owns fucking everything, I’m right with you, but whining about cereal variety makes the argument really weak.

Okay fair enough. Then as a Canadian, what’s your experience like?

I figured I was misunderstanding some context. Thanks for clarifying.

This still seems to me to be a US-centric post, not something involving all Western democracies.

Sweden is a western democracy?

Sounds like that Swedish centrist union should pound sand

For the first 2 points: Don’t use “Western democracies”. This is a US problem. Canada has much stronger labour and home protections.

3rd point: Getting banned online is a “you” problem. Your government has nothing to do with why your shitty opinions get you banned or muted. The fact that you even have the ability to complain about your government online is a luxury many other governments don’t afford to their people.

4th point: Whining about cereal variety makes the entire argument hold less water. Who the fuck cares about brands of cereal. Buy your cereal or don’t, but shut the fuck up about it. This is an empty complaint about capitalism.

5th point: Fair enough.

I don’t directly mean you, OP. Unless you made the meme… In which case I do mean directly you.

Not much these days

Or YouTube vanced/revanced for mobile

Fair enough. Sorry it was harsh.

After reading your replies, I think my answer to your “how do you deal with loneliness?” is: you don’t. You don’t sound like you’re willing to do literally anything other than complain. You sound like you want a women to fuck you but don’t want to bring anything to the table. Not one ioda of effort spent on another living creature.

I think the people that met their partners playing video games have more to offer than just playing video games once they actually meet. They are probably nice people who make some amount of effort to be with someone.

My advice: find a sex worker, if scrounging up a few hundred dollars and driving isn’t too much effort for you.

Sorry if this is harsh, but Jesus Christ man, you have a pathetic mentality. Sometimes you have to do something else other than playing video games as a grown ass adult. Being lonely sucks, and I feel for your situation, but you gotta actually do something about it.
