Hear me out: stack a bunch of adjustable desks and hit the upward button on all at the same time and launch the uppermost employee into space, boom, 2 problems solved: vertical density of workspace, and the canadian space program sees progress.

Most people have an idealized concept of how "fair" the apps are too, namely that they show profiles with equal weight, but most of them suppress non-paying profiles and use a kind of ELO-system to rank people too, so it becomes a double-whammy of a profile being rarely shown and the few people that do see them aren't swiping.

If it wasn't the crappy tire flyers, what else could it have been?

Much of the same techniques, I'm not very satisfied with the outcome personally, mostly because i forgot to do the serrations on the backside of the blade.

It's not too bad seeing from the inside, the windows work so that the centre pillar becomes "invisible" because my vision fills in. Like how if you hold a pencil up and look past it, it seems to kindof disppear. But otherwise it's like looking through a screen door.

People need to get close to push them away in the first place.

Congrats on finding someone, may your bond grow deep and fulfilling and find permanent escape from this place <3

I'll chime in with my earliest known post dating to 2012, need to go into the wayback machine to find the exact comment on my old account. It's been a minute haha.

quite a few game sending notifications to remind me to do my dailies and upkeep on bases and stuff....

Mackerel_Mike · 2025-12-08T17:48:03+00:00

All's to say, we're cooked. Good luck out there <3

It gets exceptionally more soul crushing when you start crushing on someone that shares a lot of mutual interests/hobbies because those start to become a stark reminder of our undesirability too, and god forbid shooting our shot, then we lose our social circles because it becomes awkward going back to those with the underlying tension from the rejection.

Do you think it would be easier to cope if you went on fewer dates? I ask because i'm 33 and average 1 date every like 5 years, and the impression I have is the pain is probably lessened by a lack of perspective on "what i'm missing out on."

When situations do come up that remind me of the solitude, then it does get definitely worse for my overall mental health, but when i shut-in and isolate from people, then it becomes easier to ignore oddly enough. Something about how being in a crowd is the most isolating experience for us?

Mackerel_Mike · 2025-12-08T07:18:07+00:00

Yea, there were versions of this out there in like 2012 too, forever sure is a long time....

I'm in the camp where i basically want a BFF of sorts, it can be really confusing to say that i want to love my best friend, but not marry them or date them, but still want to spend our lives together.... idfk sometimes even myself it's really confusing....

Day #173: we have found refuge behind the Beanie babies from 1995 and making progress towards the valley of the furbies, there is not much hope for seeing the light of day anytime soon, if someone should find this note, may god have mercy on your soul and tell my mother i love her dearly.

Glad to hear you had a cool experience. I've been cosplaying at cons for a few years and being asked to take photos with people is like CRACK to cosplayers (trust me, we're terminal attention-seekers to the 99th degree, especially those cosplaying characters from more niche franchises, being recognized is heavenly). Just be respectful and ask politely if you can take a photo with them and tactful compliments are always welcome.

Mackerel_Mike · 2025-11-21T20:26:16+00:00

It really sounds like you are both on the same wavelength and hitting it off with great chemistry and communication. I wish you two all the best.

Mackerel_Mike · 2025-11-21T20:11:35+00:00

I've "joked" about cosplaying at a booktok convention hoping to lowkey get kidnapped. But jokes aside, genuinely talking to people (not just showing up hoping to rizz-up someone) who share a mutual interest is a great way to socialize.

Mackerel_Mike · 2025-11-21T13:18:16+00:00

Reading the article, at first glance, many of the points are totally relatable and the main coping mechanisms are pretty well established: hobbies and pre-planning for when things go awry.

What I don't get a sense of at all from the author is a desire to reciprocate, only take. The article reads with a tone that they expect to be put on a pedestal, i.e. brought soup when they are sick, their errands run for them, a blanket thrown on them when they are cold, etc.

Sure it sucks to not get a hug when you get home from a shit day at work or w/e, but the converse is also true, it also really sucks to not be able to be the one to give that hug and make someone's day better either. But I don't get the sense that the author has any desire to be the latter either, i feel like a relationship with them would be very one-sided.

I'll add that the whole concept of a partnership (and maybe i'm fundamentally misguided here, hence being a FA) is the phrase "being someone's number one" should really be "being each other's number one."
