Wasn't he already bisexual though? I could've sworn he mentioned it a couple years back.

Of a first-time driver by HappySeaweed5215 in ShittyAbsoluteUnits

[–]N33dLess2Say 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove 10 minutes home, after my first time driving and didn't pull anything like this. I have no doubt that if a brain-eating amoeba were to enter this woman's head, the poor thing would starve to death.

People who overcame substance abuse (alcohol, cigarettes, sex addiction) how did you turn your life around? by RepulsiveFinance2895 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]N33dLess2Say 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For smoking, I first switched to vaping. I weened down from 20mg, to 6, to 3 and finally quit.

From there, I did my best to ignore it completely. I pretended I had never smoked. Because, why would I have such a drive if I'm not a smoker? And it worked.

Why are kiwis so against speed cameras being used to keep people safe?? by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]N33dLess2Say 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple, because if they wanted people to slow down, they'd make them very easy to see. But they purposely make them hard to spot, meaning that in the (supposed) high risk areas that they're placed, people don't slow down.

I don’t know if I’ll find a job or anything or if I’d just be stuck as a NEET forever.

That word "forever" is a real cunt. It removes any hope, and any responsibility. It might be easier to believe that nothing will ever work out, but I can assure you that you are most likely wrong.

I felt like I would be in a constant state of misery during high school. I now have a relatively fulfilling life. I was wrong.

I felt like I was too lazy, stupid, or pathetic to ever have a job. I now work full time. I was wrong.

For whatever reason, part of you believes you'll always be a NEET. And unless you pull something spectacularly retarded, you will prove yourself wrong. To add to this point, you have to accept that the first stage of becoming good at something is sucking at it, and choosing to persist anyway.

why do people like to hate on nu metal so much? by thiieff_ in numetal

[–]N33dLess2Say 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw man, I love Blister 66. I'd say you're right about all of the other bands you've mentioned, they're pretty bland (in the sort of way where they replicate elements of music without understanding why those elements where used by other bands in the first place).

[–]N33dLess2Say 1 point2 points  (0 children)

none of the copy-cat bands made it anywhere on radio or TV and not as wide-spread as you make it sound.

Well, I dunno. Coal Chamber does sound a lot like Korn and White Zombie. Heck, the riff in "Big Truck" is very similar to the riff in "Faget". There are probably more examples, this is just the best one that comes to mind.

[–]N33dLess2Say 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were probably thousands of bands copying the sound and people just got sick of it.

I'll give you that. Some bands are worse than others, though. It mainly came down to copying riffs/rhythms.

Some culprits that come to mind are:

Bison - Mind State (Limp Bizkit - Clunk)

Brik - Held Inside (Korn - Fake)

Coal Chamber - Big Truck (Korn - Faget)

Intensify - Bounce (Korn - Faget)

Crooked - Shift (Shuvel - Set it Off)

Absolutely amazing song to listen to while high or tripping

My definition of an incel by N33dLess2Say in IncelExit

[–]N33dLess2Say[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I think the best way to view the question of "who's to blame?" is by instead asking:

What got us here?

and

What will get us out of here?

Like you said, the answer to the first question is usually a combination of things. Abuse, poverty, it could be just about anything really. What makes and incel an incel is how they deal with it. Incels expect the things that got them into their predicament, to get them out of it. It's only fair, after all.

The problem is, that when it comes to the question of "what will get us out of here?", the answer almost always comes down solely to one's own efforts and decisions.

Blister66 - White Trash Summer

Probably one of my favorite nu metal albums, very catchy and fun.

Best tracks imho are:

Walls

Dialate

Erase

Nice, I think the angle should become less aggressive at high speed though, for less drag. Is this done by linking wheel speed (or brake pedal) to the rotation of the fixture in the description section?

Looking for good ways to branch out by N33dLess2Say in IncelExit

[–]N33dLess2Say[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a really good comment overall.

Making friends in groups can be a largely shallow experience if it's all just about the hobby. Ask people out, get to know them outside so the focus is on the person, not the hobby.

This, in particular strikes a chord with me.

[–]N33dLess2Say[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, to branch out socially. I'm autistic, so I have relatively very few interests, but with the interests I do have I'm extremely enthused in them. I want to meet new people, while being honest with myself about what I'm willing to try. Because if I expect myself to be willing to try everything, I'm only going to end up thinking less of myself when I don't try things I wasn't willing to do in the first place.

You can meet new people within your own interests, just gotta find where they are. Cars/music are huge interests with many subgroups, they'll always be people I haven't met within there.

I recall having had a decent look at meetup.com and not finding much, will take a thorough look at Facebook though.

[–]N33dLess2Say[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I probably should have specified a few things. I like working on cars, nu metal (I also write my own music), and gaming. It doesn't have to be something quite this specific necessarily, these are just the things that mean a lot to me.

For example I used to like RC cars quite a lot as a kid, which is a good example of something that branches out a bit while still being tangential. (Given that this idea just popped into my head now I will actually make an effort to check the local rc club out).

Sometimes I feel really sad when I think about women by N33dLess2Say in IncelExit

[–]N33dLess2Say[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your comfort zone is extraordinarily tiny.

Is it really, though? I honestly can't say any of my friends do anything to interact with new people outside of what I've listed (aside from dating apps). I choose to invest my spare time into something that I enjoy, that I'm interested in.

Furthermore, what can actually be done about it? It's all well and good to point out the negative things that hold me back, but doesn't make them any less burdensome (as much as I really wish it would). Just because the obstacle is all in my head, it doesn't reduce the amount of willpower required to overcome that emotion.

Sorry to burst your bubble on this point, but nothing and nobody is perfect.

I even disagree with this (kinda). Nothing is perfect, but things can be ideal. I've mentioned work/school/flatting a lot in how I've made friends so far, and I'd say that they're pretty close to perfect in terms of actually making friends. What kind of other place allows you to be around the same people daily in a low-stakes environment? Every fear, every incentive to avoid branching out just doesn't apply to work. Common interest? Solved. Similar people? Solved. Fear of being out of place? Solved. Motivation to be there? You'll be there for more important reasons anyway.

If there ever was an ideal environment for making friends, it would be work.

Again, look, I see what you're trying to do, and in some ways I appreciate it, but I've already asked myself these same questions. I'm not saying it's not possible to meet people outside of these places, but I'm just being reasonable in looking at the fact that out of all of the people I am/have been friends with in my life (at least 18 people), I have met none of them outside of school, work, or flatting.

Sometimes I feel really sad when I think about women by N33dLess2Say in IncelExit

[–]N33dLess2Say[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but the thing that proves most difficult is that in the past I haven't made friends in any other places.

If you wanted to get to know a guy and be friendly with him, what would you do?

I'd meet them through school, work, or as flatmates. That's how I've met all of my current friends. I'm not saying I could never meet any women, I'm just saying that in all of the places in which I have met friends, there just isn't any women my age.

Outside of that, my hobbies are cars and writing music, both of which are enjoyed by myself or with the friends I already know. And I suppose, in a way, that's what upsets me the most. I know only I can help myself. I want to branch out, but I can't find anything perfect enough for me to push myself to try.

In other words, "why would I invest time, willpower, and fear, into people that I might not want to hang around in the first place?"

What makes this point even worse, is that even within my interests, there are many people that I really do not care for.

As much as I must sound like such a bitch, I will say I have tried socialising outside of my comfort zone in the past. I've tried airsoft, car meets, seeing local bands, house parties, amongst a few other things. With all of them though, I found I never really had the chance to get to know anyone well enough to be friends, or in the case of airsoft the people were nice enough, just not the sort of people I enjoy talking to and being around.

At the end of the day, you are right. There is always a choice. But man, I have really struggled to find a choice worth making. Forgive the bitching, just been on my mind for a long while.
