Oh, for sure. I wouldn’t want that. To be fair, I just want to not be looked at weird for never having been in a relationship more than I want a relationship at this point.
That’s not to say that I would want a horrible relationship just so I can say “I was in a relationship”. But oddly enough some people would view me better if that happened, because it means I was able to attract someone.
Spot on! There is some overlap for sure, but I don’t agree with the notion that if you can’t get a relationship, it means you’re a conservative.
I’ve never dated and am not conservative at all, but I sometimes feel like I’m looked at with suspicion by other leftists when I mention this.
I sometimes see someone being sad about not having had a partner, and someone will reply stuff like “Have you tried not being sexist?”, even if there’s nothing in the post to indicate that they are sexist. But some people immediately assume that, because never dating but being progressive does not compute for them.
I’m not who you were replying to, but I agree and disagree with your comment.
I’m not saying someone can’t be happy single. But society makes it hard to be when the world revolves around relationships, being a virgin is used as an insult, etc.
But I do agree with you that not everyone needs to have a partner. I don’t see myself ever getting into a relationship, and to some extent I’m often close to making peace with that, until I see a post, a comment, a video, etc, that makes me feel inferior due to it.
I do appreciate, though, the fact that you admit not everyone needs to have a relationship and that not everyone will have one. I’ll take this approach every day of the week over the “Naaah, I’m sure you will be in a relationship soon cause everyone does!”, followed by moving the goalpost (it’s always “soon” regardless of how many years have passed).
I’m probably applying too much logic here which Reddit admins don’t seem to like, but… how can defending oneself if something happens (not even preemptively, but after the fact) be threatening violence, while Trump repeatedly saying they’re gonna own Greenland one way or another is not threatening violence?
Donating is great, sure, and they’re probably more likely to stick around if they paid, but just because someone isn’t donating doesn’t mean they won’t be active in the comments or by making posts. Not to mention they might spread the word to friends, some of whom might donate.
Woah, I haven’t heard about this. Are those temp bans on specific subreddits or a site-wide ban for not being pro-Trump?
I don’t often read books and I checked this thread just out of curiosity cause it popped up. I have heard of Watership Down, though, and now knowing the audiobook is by Peter Capaldi, I now know how I want to experience this book if I ever get around to it: the audiobook!
Monkey’s Paw.
It hasn’t asked me to do it either yet, but I do see the option.
Just took a quick look, haven’t watched anything in full yet, but this seems to have a lot of interesting stuff. Thanks for the recommendation!
EDIT: I just saw that some videos are apparently not available unless you confirm with your ID that you are over 16 or over 18 years old depending on the video. I haven’t ran into anything requiring verification yet but I would really rather not do that. What kind of videos require ID and is that often or is it just like one video here and there?
That is something I never understood about Christianity: Why would God place equal importance to “being a good person” and “believe in me or else”?
To me it seems like being a good person should be way more important. But in practice it seems like believing in God is the key and everything else is secondary, like you can be an asshole but just make sure you’re a believer.
“That was a typo, we meant it’s gonna be the last Windows you’ll ever want, not need” -Microsoft probably.
This is why I cannot dislike the 67 meme. I don’t actively like it or anything but we have our own funny number and there were 42 as well and 21 for a while.
There are definitely things to criticize about the new generation, I am not denying that, but finding a number amusing is too inoffensive for me to care.
Yeah, I don’t miss the pandemic itself and the risks involved, but I must admit I did like my weirdness essentially becoming commonplace and encouraged haha.
I’ve been playing EU4 since around 2018-2019 (on and off, to be fair, not consistently), and still don’t know a lot of stuff about the game.
It probably doesn’t help that I’m playing it on and off because I keep having to relearn things I used to know.
“Damn, Conversations suck since the latest update, they changed the entire gameplay”, except they were just playing it wrong the entire time and the update just patched a bug.
Not sure how to make sense of the first one, but as for the second one, it seems like they forgot to type a word. Add “on” right before “Valve’s handheld”, and that sentence makes sense now.
