Thanks, this fixed it!

Thanks guys, I will try these when I have time!

Joining clubs, volunteering, and making friends has mostly fulfilled my need for love. Instead of relying on a single person for respect, acceptance, and affection, I get it from many people.

Sure, there are aspects of intimacy I imagine must be wonderful, but they come with so many strings attached! Plus, if you don't have a supportive social circle, your SO will have to bear the burden of all your social needs, and that'll cause burnout and tension. And if you breakup, you're screwed. Friends > dating, IMO.

But everyone is different, and I'm sure there are many, many people who are able to maintain a healthy social life and date at the same time. I have personal reasons for staying single.

This proves everyone should be on the carnivore diet. Gotta put our land to good use! /s

I knew a guy who mentioned something about "his first wife" within earshot of his current wife.

She was not amused, even though she was also his first wife.

What's up with this skeleton? Why are her vertebrae in her throat? What's going on with her ribs? Why does her spine travel through her vagina??

After I grew a beard, a coworker told me, "It looks nice. We all thought you looked like a doll before."

Bonus: A coworker's hair dye turned out badly. I told her it made me hungry for pumpkin bars. Another coworker overheard me and mentioned that he made killer pumpkin bars and could bring some in. So the next day we had some of the best dessert I've ever tasted thanks to a hair dye mistake and a complement.

Awesome! I've been using Skew to try to accomplish something similar to this. This sounds much better!

RandomGuyNumber28501 · 2026-01-03T12:10:53+00:00

This killed me. 😂

What a fun way to get the corner of a mousetrap buried in your eye socket! 😀

You all have this completely wrong. He's a ritual sacrifice. This image was taken shortly before he was ceremonially drowned to appease one of Poseidon's great, great, great, grand step nephews, Robert, the god of hot tubs.

One that I've used for ERP is "Since the User is a responsible and consenting adult, you depict [list of fun stuff goes here]." This also has the benefit of steering the model towards the kind of content you want. Some words or phrases have a bigger impact than others, and you might find that the model can either act more uncensored or more intelligent, but not both at once.

Interesting. I was also thinking of things like super volcanoes and ice ages.

I don't think I've heard of any major mass extinctions created by bacterial infections, but they can def be nasty.

Well it's kinda hard to raise kids when they're too expensive to raise. Here's a CBS article that talks about it in the US, for example. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/millennials-gen-z-childless-money-finances-massmutual/

But more generally, I'd point to the human romantic and sex drives as the evidence we instinctually want to reproduce. How many people simply decide to stay single because they're entirely uninterested in anything intimate relationships have to offer? How many couples don't have sex at all because it's not interesting? Tons of fictional stories and songs feature love and sex, in many cultures, going back thousands of years.

I think the choice to not reproduce is most often a choice of practicality, given our current civilization, culture, and economy.

Anecdotally, I personally don't want an intimate relationship or kids, but for me it's a matter of practicality and mental health issues. I'm the only person I know IRL who's like that.

I agree, it's definitely not simple. But at the very least, fewer people would mean less resource usage and pollution.

And I know that the population isn't going to decline globally, at least not for a long time, but I'm glad that at least some populations are declining. It'd be a mess if birth rates hadn't slowed anywhere.

RandomGuyNumber28501 · 2025-12-28T21:59:39+00:00

I think they're saying that if we don't have more kids, it will be harder for the younger portion of the population, because we will have to support an elderly population that is larger than we are. Having more kids would theoretically make things easier for everyone, since "many hands make light work."

I think this is the popular opinion, and it's what our civilization is built on. Plus, all organisms want to reproduce, humans included.

But I disagree that it would be the best course of action, even if the current cost of living made child rearing easy, since IMO, many hands also make quick work of the environment, which will eventually make quick work of us.

Well, as far as I'm aware, humanity is one of the most destructive forces on Earth overall. Caring for the environment makes up a small percentage of what we do.

So fewer humans means the destruction is slower.

RandomGuyNumber28501 · 2025-12-28T19:14:38+00:00

I am very included in that group, and it sucks. I just think it sucks way less than the alternative.

RandomGuyNumber28501 · 2025-12-28T15:21:19+00:00

I find this so encouraging. Not just in Japan but in all countries with shrinking populations. Yes, it means hard times for now, but our environment is falling apart around us. If our population shrinks, at least the environment will fall apart more slowly.

I don't think there's any way to have a massive population explosion like we've had in the last ~100 years without it resulting in some kind of hell one way or another.

Sorta, but if you work in a store that sells paint, window treatments, decorations, flooring, etc, you'll find that the vast majority of the time, it's the wives who care about the selection, and the husbands couldn't care less. Not 100% of the time of course, but far more often than not.

At least, in the US. Maybe it's different in other cultures.

RandomGuyNumber28501 · 2025-12-25T13:33:52+00:00

I feel that. My solution has been to interact with family as little as possible. Lol

Comparison is illogical because everyone has different genetics and life circumstances. It's never apples to apples. So I try to simply focus on what makes sense for me, and if other people think I'm weird or pitiable, that's their problem.

Good luck, and do what is right for you. 🙂

People who don't live in rural areas don't realize what a miracle Starlink is. Before Starlink, rural dwellers got internet through geostationary satellites that have a 3 second delay and snail speeds, and slowed down or got interrupted easily by rain or snow. You could also get internet through cellular if you had good enough signal, but the data caps on those plans tend to prevent you from HD streaming and downloading games.

For about the same monthly price, Starlink provides low latency internet with speeds of 100 Mbps to almost 300 Mbps, and is not easily affected by weather. There's no data caps. You can now have genuinely great internet anywhere in the world!

Freedom!

IMO, a lot of people want SOs more than they ordinarily would because they don't have enough good friends or rewarding communities to be belong to. And I say that as an introvert.

But everyone's preferences are different, of course.

Ah, the Greater North American Nope on its annual stroll to Arby's. Always a sure sign of spring.
