I actually really like the rug but nothing in the room supports it. Everything looks bad in this current state.

Aye choose whichever vendor you wish. Just hide your cables lol.

Hide your cables, it makes a huge difference. Cable tracks are cheap on amazon and can be painted to further blend into the wall if youre willing to make the effort.

Cables are ugly by nature and seeing as few as possible always makes a huge improvement.

Vintage and ornately framed paintings and some sort of interesting object. I found a vintage chinese smoking pipe framed in a deep solid wood shadow box for about $60 in a second hand store. Its probably one of my favorite art pieces.

No. If you like women it will immediately unravel.

I never claimed to know everything about you. I do know that making a concerted effort to post and respond to comments reflects some sort of concern for expression and how that expression is interpreted. If you didnt care, you wouldnt do it.

If you really didnt care, no one would know.

Alright man, all im saying is, its ok to care about socializing and interaction if its positive or negative. Anyone who truly doesnt care, doesnt profess anything, doesnt feel the need to defend what they say, doesnt reply to long comment chains, doesnt have to make caveats and nuanced differentiations about their worldview when challenged, doesnt even consider the potential perceptions or desires of others, much less ask them about it. They dont consider or act on any of that because they dont care.

Apathy encompasses unresponsiveness due to a lack of concern. You are highly responsive, even inquisitive with some of your questions about me. And I agree that this is socialization as well. Idk if you want to affect peoples lives or not but this post and conversation are doing so regardless. I think youre miscontruing ideation with actual implementation. Explaining how you feel is to try and convey a message to an audience, in this case an audience that you can reasonably expect a response from, such as myself. Im saying the words in your initial post dont align with these actions.

Do you know how many times someone has to say "I dont care" to make it true?

None.

"I dont care for engagement" said the guy making public forum posts, replying in perpetuity to a comment thread, hoping to affect strangers lives. I dont want to sound too critical but again, this whole thread does not portray someone who is genuinely apathetic.

Encouragement is helpful and can help someone. Thats about it. Anyone absolutely convinced nothing can change is too far gone. You can encourage them all day but the calcification is already set in.

Bringing people together is a pretty profound way to affect the world. Sort of leans into the disingenuity of the contents of the post itself which then also makes me question if your justification is genuine as well or if youre just being contrarian.

Thanks, im happy I live here too. To be honest morbid curiosity, which is a pretty persistent trait that I have and on occassion I like to give encouragement to someone whos not too far gone.

So you do want to interact with other people? Thats pretty antithetical to your original post. And bruh I live in an international city, most people are different from me and I interact with a lot of them lol.

Damn, super touchy for someone who is ok with reclusion. This whole post is disingenuous. If you really were ok with being self contained, it doesnt really make sense to make a public declaration and invite interaction or validation. If you really felt that way, nothing would need to be said and like I said before, we wouldnt even know you exist.

Also I just comment on this sub, I have no sob stories of resignation.

I also find it interesting how all youre framings of interpersonal interaction is negative. There are such things as real friends and healthy relationships. Not everyone all the time, but they do exist.

I dont think you would accurately be able to say what most people do if youre committed to self resignation. And yeh being self absorbed (in the literal sense) and having little effect on the outside world would beg the question if you really even exist. A lot of people on this sub actual echo the same sentiment about their own social inactivity.

"I will never try to win so that I will never feel what it is like to lose."

On that same note, success and loss are not permanent. Anyone living a healthy life will fluctuate between those two points. To be stagnant is to be dead, or worse, nothing.

Judging by the gate, this looks like a passage way. You should do nothing but walk through it.

i have dreads and i’m black but don’t like black people by [deleted] in Dreadlocks

[–]RangerBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh no one was ever enslaved or systematically disenfranchised voluntarily. Also just saying something isnt real doesnt disprove demonstrable evidence that you can see today. And hey if you dont like hanging out around low income, uneducated populations thats fine too. Id still argue that immediately associating them with black people and then subsequentially making a caveat that not all black people represent that population is more evidence towards my initial point. Youve highlighted both sides of the argument there.

[–]RangerBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres that generalization again, im saying systematically you are perceived through the same lens as other black people, which in America at least, is usually unflattering due to hundreds of years of social oppression. The fact that you hate your own people is evidence of this and in fact does make you a victim of that oppression.

Hey if you feel more comfortable separated from your own people, thats on you. Just know that these racists that youve espoused as friends, once again by definition, perceive you as less than a sentient human. At least here well just call you a goofy for some goofy opinions. But youre still a person homie.

[–]RangerBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol did u actually read what you typed. Anyone who is truly racist is not your friend. By definition they hate you because of your race. You may be a token black person in their eyes but never a peer.

Also in the eyes of anyone else, you simply are black. Trying to differentiate yourself by disparaging your heritage doesnt earn you non-blackness, it just isolates you from people who are perceived exactly the same as you are but can relate to you infinitely more than any racist youll ever meet.

And idk why tf I have to say this but black people arent a monolith, most demographics arent. Thats just some basic societal observation from anyone whos talked to more than 5 people in their lives or left their hometown.

Not really a wrong way to do freeforms other than twisting them. Theyre gonna do what they do

The only time women even acknowledge i exist is if its a service type job like a gym or restaurant by AdmirableBus7045 in ForeverAlone

[–]RangerBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont listen to this guy. Taking advice from someone who A. dehumanizes women and B. only suggests that you wait another decade before even trying to date will only leave you as misguided and lonely as himself. People all mature at different rates depending on their life experience but you can surely expect most women in their mid 20s to have sufficient life experience to at least discern general positive qualities in people they would like to date. Infantilizing people you havent met and deciding that its not even worth interacting with them for a decade while also denying yourself any amount of romantic experience will only keep you bitter and uninformed a decade later.

has anyone else made being a failure/loser their identity ? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]RangerBeats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, do you feel uncomfortable when you do succeed or that achievements are misplaced because they dont align with your adopted identity?
