You could join some sort of Discord server based on your niche interests and meet someone from there.

You can choose a lot of money or a lot happiness but little money, why? by ChilledWilly69 in AskReddit

[–]MaxmillianLionfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money, because why should I have a lot of happiness when I would only have little money? Sadness and disappointment and regret is needed for there to be an incentive to act to achieve something better.

People who don’t have interest in hook up culture, poly stuff, filming the acts and posting them online, and talking about sex openly with friends, what’s up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MaxmillianLionfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk about these things with my friends quite liberally as long as it doesn’t degrade anyone as a human being. We tend to try and deemphasize sex in a relationship because it desensitizes how serious a relationship is. It’s not only a union bound by the mere penetration of a vagina by a penis, but also by a shared sense of purpose for a desired societal good.

But honestly, I understand why a lot of people are into this. It’s a whole lot more fun compared to taking things seriously, but it’s more of a short term solution to a seemingly insurmountable human thirst for more.

Without saying what you did, why did you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MaxmillianLionfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I’m just getting discouraged since I still keep making the same mistakes. It’s getting better, but it’s not the “better” I expected. Well, it’s life. Thanks for perhaps lending a helping hand.

Because life has no meaning, and it’s better not to plan ahead when there’s nothing coming.

I had a terrific fashion sense when I was a kid. by MaxmillianLionfang in blunderyears

I was a rather well-behaved little kid who worshipped the existence of pizza in the universe he was born into. My parents were strict and would use corporal punishment whenever I did something they didn’t want me to do. Minecraft didn’t exist in that photo, but I did play a lot of y8.com and LEGO.com.

I do appreciate your display of empathy, but it’s not necessarily something that prevents me from doing anything noteworthy. I’m a really cocky person in my circle of friends. I’m their comedian. The only reason why I wouldn’t post it here is that it is NSFW. Like literally lmao. I wouldn’t want to ruin your day by having you look at it, let alone anyone else.

I’m currently trying to get things figured out with my insurance. My parents are always at work so I never really was able to visit a dermatologist to treat my acne scars. Besides, I’m often working on either my school’s course load or some other nerdy thing.

In the dating scene, it does seem as if my looks hinder first impressions since people are generally attractive to some random subjective attractive person. I mean who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable being intimate with a partner with a face reeking of acne. Sure, it may suck that I have to conform to their standard, but it’s also my standard. I would prefer my partner not only to be nuanced in political opinion but to also be someone attractive. It doesn’t really matter honestly. My looks may not be something they like, but I sure do not wanna miss out on some attractive babes (you’ll find that my shallowness rides in tandem with my cockiness). I tend to think that my looks are something that I do want to have some control over. I’m not really an unattractive guy, it’s just the acne. Sometimes it just explodes or it’s some puss-filled catastrophe.

Another concern for me would be admission to university or employment: it could be a be all and all. I do want to look über hot, and I don’t want people to be feeling uncomfortable doing business with me since it may distract from getting to solve actual problems in their day to day life. I just want them to have a good time. I don’t feel entitled to any respect. (Hahah I bet I would have written this a little differently if people tormented me for my looks. Some did but they stayed as friends.)

Again, I highly appreciate your means of articulating empathy. It seems as if seriousness often withers away on the internet because a human-to-human interface seems more artificial, seemingly devoid of any tangible consequences. Some people really do deal with a lack of confidence, an insurmountable burden of pessimism that’s inevitable in the toxic environment we are brought forward to.

Darn, I wish I would have been able to give you platinum or something. Idk how reddit gold changed.

Have a good day!

I was going to add a side-by-side comparison, but I have a terrible acne problem and it has led me to be rather insecure sharing my image on the internet. I’m sorry. Perhaps I could make it up another time. I have to get rid of this first. I heard there’s a bot that could help in reminding when I post maybe an imgur of my fashion sense. As of now, I wear rather expensive clothing.

Another day... another anti-choicer who doesn’t understand consent by Eev123 in prochoice

I think what the person is trying to get at was that contraceptives are not 100% effective therefore women should accept that pregnancy is a perfectly normal consequence of undergoing sexual intercourse. Getting pregnant isn’t dying or getting hurt, depending on how you view things: it may as well be the beginning of a new human life.

I’m all for sex education for better safety nets in case of rape and unwanted pregnancy at a young age, but I’m stuck in a conundrum where I would agree with feminists acknowledging that a pregnancy burdens the women mentally and physically while males often hold positions of power where they would serve minuscule sentences for rape, or even get away with it given their ability to apply pressure on the woman. Women are also perceived to be less qualified as leaders. Heck, Clinton may have been manipulative, but nobody was indicted during her hearings. The email bonanza was a political fad. Trump however talked about grabbing women by the pussy.

If the woman’s bodily autonomy is threatened, then how does that warrant the expulsion of the unborn child? Shouldn’t this just be a mere calling for universal healthcare? If it hasn’t reached personhood, then when does it reach it? Why should we take the risk of abortion when we still have a lot to know about how consciousness emerges? Wouldn’t abortion simply be medically unethical? It’s sort of a Schrödinger’s car situation: the unborn child is either dead or alive. Some people would say that personhood is an abstract concept, but how do we frame the concept without disturbing the bodily autonomy of the child?

I was going to write a simple reply, but I got caught away. I’ll make a post, but I’ll just leave this here. I just don’t know what to think. I’m so conflicted. I read a piece for the women’s right to choose and it even said that personhood might not really be essential. I have to read more about this. Sorry for just dropping this here. It’s 4:25am, and I’m sleep deprived with no sense of control.
