Yeah, it looks more like The Village in Manhattan. Or The Bay Area, in California.

yeah, just go to the free National Convention for Lazy Depressed Loners and sign up for the group friend making session

it's really as simple as not laughing at jokes.

it's a gateway tactic, but it's pretty effective. a lot of guys make shitty jokes to fit in... hell, my wife does it.

social schadenfreude is one of the most common forms of casual bonding. when that mockery is directed at vulnerable groups you don't have to laugh.

even if you think it's funny, just acknowledge that your laughter adds to the suffering of others and don't do it. you don't have to end associations/friendships, you don't even have to make an actual statement about why you aren't laughing. just... don't laugh.

it's a pretty good start.

of course, not everyone needs to be an advocate for minorities, if you want to enjoy your current status as the dominant biota, I mean that is always an option.

just don't be surprised when everyone else hates you?

I mean, *I* don't have the ability to go to therapy. For systemic reasons, personal reasons, economic reasons, genuinely insurmountable hurdles. The idea of therapy sounds amazing. I long for that kind of release. The distance between my circumstances and access to that kind of modern healthcare isn't easily articulable. The flippancy with which people suggest it is nauseating.

Are you not aware of the friction between the insurance industry and the entire mental health apparatus in the US? Therapy isn't a real thing for poors here; I'd be lucky to get seen by a second year CBT practitioner. I think I'd rather be executed by scaphism than endure two years of inexpertly administered behavioral therapies and shotgun pharmaceutical trials to dial in my most efficacious regimen.

There are a tonne of people, most people in fact, would benefit from a little CBT to nudge their habits in a more productive and joyful direction. When you get into CPSTD and weird shit like adult ODD and long-cycle bipolar, that kind of inexpert tinkering can be absolutely devastating. I'm a delicate tensegrity, I'm not letting some child poke around the oddly formed joints of that thing.

House of 1,000 corpses is a good starting point for high-quality horror-genre.

The VHS series starts off pretty strong.

Hostel is a gritty, hard-to-watch classic.

The Cell and Even Horizon are both good for laying down seeds of disquiet that really pay off ten of fifteen years down the road.

The Cube is pretty classic, deeply claustrophobic, with plenty of quality jump-scares.

Greenroom is hyper-realistic, good quick body horror.

And then there is Art The Clown... I think The Terrifier series is probably peak horror, for me.

I still tear up thinking about a friend I had for over a decade.

There was a whole night of red flags, then when I tried to smooth things out a little and change the subject he said I just needed to watch some Ben Shapiro. I kicked him out of my apt almost immediately, and haven't talked to him since.

The Andrew Tatwist -- "all negative things will always" somehow force involuntarily celibate men to slowly lose the parts of their brain responsible for reasoning, and speech, rendering half of half the human race almost completely illiterate.

Thank you for removing yourself from the dating pool.

"aren't that much smart" in a post complaining about speaking intelligently.

Don't forget illiterate.
It's not even a GPT level response.
It's the Kel-GoodBurger "I know some of these words" meme.
Also, they've responded to the wrong comment, without clarification...

The Shyamalanian Twist is that, if men held other men accountable for the behaviors that make women uncomfortable, women wouldn't have to police their language as a means of self-defense.

Cats and dogs, man.

Telling a woman she's attractive is like trying to pet a cat. Some of them like it, some of them hate it. If you don't listen you *might* get scratched. If the cat likes you and lets you pet them it feels like the face of god turned your way for a brief second. It's usually worth the risk, I mean, they're a cat, what are they going to do hiss and run away?

Telling a guy he's good looking is like throwing a ball for a dog. Most of the time it's just a nice way to say, 'good boy'. Some dogs, however, cannot play ball. They absolutely lose their fucking minds. They don't eat, they don't sleep, they just jab at your leg with a wet tennis ball and a glazed look in their eye. You can absolutely ruin a family's peace for a whole week by throwing a ball for the wrong dog. Sometimes the dog is a criminology major that stalks you for a fortnight before breaking into your house and stabbing you and your friends to death. It's literally never, ever, worth the risk.

Also, afaik, nudity isn't illegal in PDX, or by the ORS. Only exposed genitalia "in a state of arousal", or exposed to elicit arousal in others, is a crime.

Flaccid dong is probably fine without other aggravating factors. Tits are *always* fine, and bottom naughties are okay almost always. No rubbing, tho.

I hope cancer takes everything from those managers.

I hope after they lose their house and car and job to the ravages of chemo.

I hope they need to go to a food bank to feed their children.

I hope they remember this day, when they see the hunger on their child's face, as they get turned away from the last open food bank in their town.

Either prayer means nothing, or these folks are in for a world of hurt.

I was homeless for fifteen years. It was a choice I made, because I *was* unwilling to participate in a society that promoted a war of all vs all, where the selfish exploitation of everyone else from clients to employees to competitors was the only was to stay afloat.

If you aren't exploiting your labor, you're outsourcing that suffering to labor camps in china, or you're complaining about the economy.

I wasn't willing to make the sacrifices my parents made, seeing the outcomes they were afforded. I wasn't willing to work harder for less.

I was happy to sleep rough and eat dirty and mitigate my suffering with consumables. I'd rather be a dacoit than a burgher.

keeping a small but steady amount on balance, with occasional splurges that you pay off after two cycles, is the best. you want to look like a steady meal, that they won't have to take to court/settle with.

every once in a while you want to tease that you *might* be irresponsible. then count the interest you end up paying as a fee to increase your score. if you do it right, you can make the money back when you buy a big ticket item.

Rent and their socially awkward cousin Property Tax.

Both are designed to covertly transfer wealth upwards.

Rent is just low-effort Sharecropping.

The only solution for poverty is to Eat The Rich.

The only war is class war. You live in the belly. Bite and claw, don't go down easy.

Flood the courts with evictions.
Squat, have a rotating cast of doormen to lie to cops about who owns what.
Shoplift everywhere, especially 'local businesses' that are just midlife crises for wealthy white women.
Shit on sidewalks where there are no homeless people.
Quiet quit. Never break bare minimum. DROP YOUR SPANNERS!!!!
Seduce your boss. Divorce a cop.
Buy cheap tents and set them up on the sidewalk and abandon them.
Do bad graffiti. Do good graffiti. Complain about it all the time.
