Comparing every male video game character to Marcus Fenix would really rile up anybody who remembers the cliffyB drama.

I promise I wasn't trying to call you out or anything. I know what you're feeling. Hell, I'm in a committed relationship and the self-doubt still rears it's ugly head sometimes. I just wanted to post some of my own ramblings and talk about, I guess what I would call, a key western male issue.
Good luck my friend, I'm sure you'll find someone soon

I think it's important for men to understand that desirability is a fully internal feeling. The only person who can make you feel desirable is yourself, no amount of sexual partners will change how you feel. At the same time, of course, society does pit men against each other on the basis of how many different women they can have sex with. But that is still a comparison between men, women's actual attraction does not ever play a role. They are simply being used as a metric of desirability.
In the real world people are attracted to so many things, there's no need to sweat it. Try to do things for yourself that make you feel good. Buy some good clothes, work out, etc. Don't do these things for women, do them for you. You are the only person you need to worry about finding you attractive.

I agree with Marx on this one. Religion is a reflection of materialist conditions. To that end, any group cultures is going to be, in some way, a reflection of materialist conditions. Therefore, Atheist talking as a group will be somewhat identical to religion.
For my honest beliefs, I will happily label myself as athiest; antithiest. Any "God" that treats it's children this way is in no way worthy of worship. And I would rather believe that I was just very unlucky than to believe that a consciousness in the universe chose to curse me with the afflictions I face.

I'm working on a theory, that the rise of livestreaming and the erosion of rights, or at least sympathy, for the disabled are connected. You can decide what kind of -posting this is, but the disabled have historically been shunned to venues of less-than-repute entertainment to make a living. Carnival workers, 'freak show' members, etc. And live streaming is just the next venue to pop off. As more disabled people, who are unable to work a regular job, give streaming a chance (www.twitch.tv/myelint tomorrow at 1 p.m. est) the expectation that the disabled will be able to make a good amount of money just playing video games is reinforced in society and the idea that we may need assistance, especially financial, becomes less accepted.
But even for the successful, it's just like working those older jobs. There is no advancement in the field of streaming, just as there was no advancement for working at a carnival. Even worse, creators on streaming platforms are not given the same workers' protections as a regular job, beholden to the 'gig economy' style of employment where you can have your job snatched out from under you and you get no attempt to bargain your own pay. Then there is the fact that you have to be constantly performing and hope you don't lose your audience.

If you have any other songs suggestions for getting into them, I'd love to take a listen
I always liked ska, but I never got into Streetlight Manifesto for some reason. But this song came on while I was listening to music and I haven't stopped listening to it for 3 days. If you're not a fan of Ska Toh Kay did release an [acoustic version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgPLDpILV2o)

The thing about historians saying that people were friends and not lovers is to avoid coming to conclusions without necessary evidence. Now, I'm sure there is a degree of homophobia, but historians aren't from those cultures, so they can't say for certain if a behavior was actually evident of homosexuality or if it is simply the lens of modern culture.
I have a funny story about this. In 1685, James II, a Catholic, came to the throne in England. The people, who were very protestant, let this happen with minimal rebellion because everyone thought he was gay. But in the 1600's they didn't really have a word for homosexuality, so the only thing that is clear from historical records is they were very sure he wasn't going to have a kid during his reign (he already had a daughter). So my history professor professor explained it as they all thought he was nudge nudge you know. But when he did end up having a son, all hell broke loose and the people of England basically invited William of Orange to invade.

Without looking into the justification, it seems perfectly reasonable tbh. Information theory is huge in physics, to the point that there are arguments that the bit is the fundamental unit of energy.

Signal doesn't send messages any more for some reason. It takes a long time, or I have to send another message to get the first to send. I want to stop using it. I don't want to use telegram though, is there another secure messaging app I can use?

I have been kicking around a campaign idea where the BBEG is an evil wizard that has sucked all the evil out of the world to use for himself, so anything evil is instantly vaporized. Of course, the Wizard is evil and controlling, but it also upsets the natural order, so he must be stopped. Goblins are aligned neutral evil (As they often are) but along the way, the adventurers find a village of goblins who have learned to be good, but are under constant temptation do to bad things. So as the adventurers walk around the town, if they don't stop a goblin from biting them or pick pocketing them, POOF, goblin gone.
Of course this leads to a meditation on good and evil, and what that really means. Also all of the goblins are named after military contractors.

Hmm, what's his kenjutsu level? Anything below second kyu and he should still be using a wooden bokken.
A few days ago, my partner told one of their coworkers about me making cookies at night, and the coworker immediately asked if I was manic. I decided to look into it and while I don't get highly manic or depressed, my behavior does match the symptoms pretty well. On top of that, about half of people with MS have a mood disorder. I guess I don't want my partner to think of me as a normal person with a layer of personality on top due to BPD. And I really don't want them to be scared of my hurting them due to stereotypes about it. But there is a really good chance I have it (I will seek a diagnosis) and they have a right to know. Edit: I sort of soft launched it by asking if they would think of me different or be scared of me if I had bipolar disorder, and they just straight up said yes, at least for a while. I'm hoping that at worst it's Cyclothymia.

Hello, I've had a bad few weeks. Got kicked out of my apartment, can't find a job, consumed true crime content for some ungodly reason, and obviously the state of the world is depressing as hell. If you could help me find some optimism to get me through the unfortunate situation I've found myself in, I could really use it right now.

I recently got a Google Pixel 7 pro because my previous phone was glitching out and it was a headache. I didn't buy the phone for the camera, I have a mirrorless that I use when I want to take a picture, I got it for the battery life and to not have Samsung bloatware. But still every once in a while I want to take a quick pic and send it on signal or Snapchat or something, and every time it comes out way too saturated and way too sharpened. All the ads I saw for this phone was for camera features like the magic eraser thing and the night vision, but they're all just covering for what is the worst camera sensor that they could possibly find. You can't control the exposure, you can't get the raw image, It is a horrible experience to take a picture with this phone every single time. If you want a smartphone to be able to take good pictures. First of all, don't. Get a camera. Second of all, steer clear of the pixel phones.
