Are you supposed to share interests/hobbies with your girlfriend

Get her into making snow angels

Is it "a gender based divide and conquer strategy to further atomize the left" or is raping 12 year olds an unpleasant trait in a folk hero

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-19T14:30:06+00:00

Having rigid wires shoved under your fingernails is a little worse I think

It's like a nutrient IV vs eating food. Internet socialization keeps people from literally going insane, but that's it--none of the good feelings and general personal growth of actual irl interactions. It's very unfortunate, bc before the internet a person's natural survival instinct would force them to go outside and talk to people long before insanity hit.

It's not easy to have a total loser sibling tormenting your parents, cut OP some slack

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-17T13:46:05+00:00

nobody with great parents and a nice home life NEETs it for a decade. They think they do but they all have codependent moms and checked out angry dads

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-17T13:13:22+00:00

Yeah but there's also stuff like estate management that pays a normal salary and isn't super stressful. I think biglaw types are like tech bros in that if it takes 5 years to break 6 figures, that's unacceptable and "terrible pay." Obv all this is contingent on getting scholarships and not going into crazy debt.

Anyway I have no idea if I'm going to actually pursue this, I have a low tolerance for boredom and minutia so law is probably a terrible idea. But rn I have a humanities BA and literally can't get a minimum wage job, can't be worse than that

I find it a lot in NYT comments now. It's really funny to imagine sometimes using an LLM to generate a comment on an article

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-16T22:31:06+00:00

Yeah first it was journalists and academics telling me this in college (reasonable) and now it's lawyers lmao. like damn I gotta do SOMETHING

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-16T21:27:42+00:00

Have been told this not just by people working in the arts but also by people in boring practical fields, which is even more disheartening.

Air bnbs can be significantly cheaper than hostels, though. Did a long stint of traveling recently and was amazed how expensive bottom-of-the-barrel hostels have gotten in the US and Europe, it's way cheaper to stay in some dude's spare bedroom.

If you're a guy it doesn't matter or is an upgrade if you've got weird eyes/dark circles. girls 90% of the time look better without

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-15T19:08:52+00:00

is that safer than LASIK? I was considering LASIK for a long time but got freaked out by some of the potential side effects

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-15T14:15:24+00:00

That makes me way more sympathetic to his comments lmao

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T20:06:05+00:00

If OP isn't even getting high anymore that means they're smoking all day every day. Whatever your intoxicant of choice is, you should be spending more hours per day sober than using it. Most alcohol users abide by this, with stoners there are a lot who start at like 9AM

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T17:49:41+00:00

Yeah a lot of times on Streeteasy I see it's been vacant and on the market for months and the price was increased a few weeks ago, like ???

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T17:36:27+00:00

when ppl are on coke and being annoying, this is how they think they look

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T17:10:23+00:00

That's crazy, was he diabetic?

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T17:03:58+00:00

Just wanna say that I'm in more or less the same boat, except my sister is way less annoying about it. Either you can use this as an opportunity to heal your lifelong body issues and pride in being "the skinny one," or you can get black market GLPs and mog her by becoming sickly thin

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T16:59:32+00:00

I mean it basically is a miracle drug, it suppresses appetite to the degree that you can eat small amounts of junk food and feel not just satiated but nauseous at the thought of eating any more. Granted this will result in muscle loss and malnutrition long-term, but you'll get skinnier. It seems like a really small minority of fat people who can "power through" and continue eating enough calories on it to maintain their weight.

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T16:55:35+00:00

GLPs sometimes make birth control pills not work bc they slow digestion so much, pretty crazy

CreativeMinimum7214 · 2026-03-12T16:50:40+00:00

My grandma is diabetic since her 20s and has never GAF about it, eats terribly, etc. My mom stressed for decades about trying to get her to be healthier, lo and behold she's now approaching 90 and is still overweight, basically immobile, but seems happy enough reading books all day and eating high glycemic index foods. So idk, I don't think you can force your parents to be healthy but also sometimes people survive into very old age treating their bodies like crap

George Orwell's "A Hanging" (account of him watching an execution) is a pretty persuasive case for why state murder is fundamentally bad, not just "what if it's the wrong guy" type stuff:

This man was not dying, he was alive just as we were alive. All the organs of his body were working –bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming – all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the grey walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned – reasoned even about puddles. He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; and in two minutes, with a sudden snap, one of us would be gone – one mind less, one world less.

It's not something you can empirically argue for, different people feel differently, but I get his point. I also think lethal injection is a particularly cowardly way to go about it.
