The thing is I can’t believe what people say, and I’m certainly disappointed in myself.
My ex constantly reminded me for the past decade someone fat, nerdy, and unattractive like me would never get someone like her. No matter what I didn’t, I really couldn’t have her and she ended cheating on me anyway.
It’s different with my job. I barely know what the fuck I’m doing. I can’t estimate the time it would take to do any task. I don’t understand almost any stories, and it takes me forever to implement shit. I get constantly showered in praise, but I can’t pass simple codility tests for a promotion.
School was the same: “oh he’s a smart kid” without elaborating why.
Yeah the only person saying that negative stuff to me is me. I’m the only one with the truth.
Probably none of those. I’d probably be the big bad. For whatever reason when I was a kid and picked up blue I thought “friends? no I taught these monsters to be strong, they ain’t no friends.” When the friend secret mechanics came in I realized I hadn’t done anything but instilled Stockholm syndrome in them.
I allter them with drugs, use machines on them to force them to learn things. If they end up useless they stay in a box forever.
Pokemon are how I get rich, pokemon are how I get power, pokemon are how I enact control.
Right? I watch the videos and they’re pulling off moves in times I don’t understand.
But wiping the floor with my friends isn’t fun. I’ve settled on not using Roy/Ike, Captain Flacon/Ganondorf, Mewtwo/Locario, Donkey Kong and Samus. Actually I haven’t used them in so long I’ve probably handicapped myself with at least some of them
From a military logistics and training standpoint, one weapon platform with mission specific adaptations is far, far, FAR cheaper and efficient than specialized platforms with standardized accessories and ammo.
That’s what the AK accomplished, (pulling this part out of my ass:) while not having the modern development that AR has provided.
I don’t mind y’all enjoying it sexually, we all have our stuff. But this one will inevitably get you sick unless you’re using barriers which we all know you aint
Edit: y’all nasty. there’s some stuff you can’t clean and I’m not taking about STDs
hey now, some of our parents at least voted against enshitification.
they didn’t do shit like protest or volunteer, but they taught my bro and I empathy quite well.
I like to blame lead, but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence? I think, rather, there is a fundamental flaw in the original patriarchal system that led men to develop toddler-level emotional intelligence, and the women just went along with it.
Now that we have wisened up, accept more diversity, and given some power to women, the toddler men are freaking out because they had their special blanket taken away. And one consequence is accumulation of all the resources.

Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat....
I don’t know if you’re trolling, but the most obvious one to me is loss of hearing.
Cochlear implants restore hearing. The deaf community strongly argues against cochlear implants because many are pre-lingually deaf (they were deaf before they could talk, so they only know sign language) and see it as discrimination- taking away the thing that makes the culture work. Also, not everyone can afford them (though it’s getting better).
I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.
Like Nerf, but not Nerf, because nerf sucks. there’s other off brands that make far better ones. Like I just got a mini gun like one, fully automatic 80 feet range
Santa is bring the heat this year. (I try to get my sons toys out and assembled and working before Christmas because nothing is worse than a toy that doesn’t work on Christmas. Plus wrapping all that? Santa got no time for that
Our freshman class had 24 students planning to enroll with CS as there major.
Of that group 6 graduated with CS and 19 with business degrees. One Student thought it was a joke how easy it was and said “fuck it” and double majored in CS and business.
I think that’s why I love that series. Each quirk has a consequence to it. One-for-all can store and unleash energy, but unless you use that stored power to reinforce the opposite forces, your bones will disintegrate
CS isn’t, but software engineering takes strict approaches to design and development for safety critical systems. I’m not talking about finance applications however.
I’m talking about like flight control computers, valve assist device controllers, medical lab automation and notification systems, weapon platform communication systems.
