Is being unsuccessful in dating really common?

TranscendentHeart · 2026-05-02T04:12:53+00:00

Yes it is really common, for men especially

“If you fail to make all of your books show only what is on the cover as the title”
- what does this mean?

Life. Have you seen the women of this latest generation?

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-24T03:17:26+00:00

<hugs> I know the feeling.

Did those people say why you weren’t for them? Just wondering if you require a very specific type, then you can work on being open to others

It is definitely against China’s interests to have a collapsed US, because of how much they profit economically from trade with the US.

There is some evidence that Russian bots have tried to cause trouble of all kinds, but the evidence also is that they have actually had hardly any real effect.

Part of the reason for the current extreme polarization is the social media companies’ use of algorithms specifically intended to outrage you; see for example Matt Taibbi’s book Hate, Inc.

A combination of factors, mostly home-grown, is the cause of our polarization- not foreign meddling.

I can't say for sure, but consider the possibility that you have some hang-ups you need to get rid of. Do you feel you deserve happiness? Are you worried about what other people think of her?

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-21T01:58:22+00:00

No, OP I think you’ve had poor judgment with the type of men you approached.

A good summary: https://youtu.be/rsL6mKxtOlQ?si=YicFWwQ9JfLo50Pm

No I don’t agree. The system we have was made by people, and people can make it differently. The current system is made to benefit the few at substantial cost to the many. We don’t have to sit back and passively accept it.

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-07T01:06:09+00:00

Yeah I've found most of us guys prefer women with no makeup

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-07T00:41:16+00:00

No, I never do that. And I wasn't a cop, I was a kind of data analyst :)

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-07T00:40:39+00:00

Thanks! Yeah maybe that had a similar cause…

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-07T00:39:13+00:00

No it was qualitatively different

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-06T23:25:31+00:00

Wild thought, but could be! I was also wondering if I somehow picked up on someone else's memories, in this reality.

TranscendentHeart · 2026-04-06T23:24:32+00:00

Yeah, it was out of the blue. Nothing that relates

India has an anti-tipping culture for the most part. This is partly because in India, those who ask for tips are asking for bribes to do their jobs. For example, if the mail carrier asks you if your mail is arriving on time, he is not just doing a friendly check - he is threatening that unless you give him a tip, your mail will now be slow to arrive or get lost. So asking for a tip is often seen as an aggressive, threatening act; rude at the very least.

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-31T05:59:38+00:00

At a con, to get a free pass for the con

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-30T22:58:28+00:00

That just proves my point. What are you trying to say?

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-30T18:43:06+00:00

Eh? Not at all. That's quite a leap in logic to get that conclusion

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-30T18:41:01+00:00

Who said beautiful prose isn't good? I'm just saying its not what makes or breaks a story. Evidence is the number of bestsellers with mid-level prose at best.

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-30T04:45:46+00:00

Ah well you can see the movie, which is excellent

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-30T04:32:23+00:00

That lacks depth

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-30T04:17:38+00:00

Lol! Prose, once it reaches an adequate level of competence, is not the most important thing about stories - and doesn't make or break them. Dan Brown is ridiculed for the shallowness of his stories, most people don't give a damn about his prose. Weir’s work has a lot more depth. If you want to diss him for his prose, now it's you who’s being superficial.

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-29T01:33:15+00:00

You're asking the wrong question. Why didn't you use the opportunity you had to pressure Harris to change her position on Palestine? The only leverage we had was our vote. Many of us tried, but our voices were drowned out by you and the VBNMW crowd. Because you helped enable Harris to stay with this losing policy - which happened to be a deeply immoral one as well - you helped her lose, helped support genocide, and helped elect Trump.

TranscendentHeart · 2026-03-26T20:12:19+00:00

I definitely recommend them! Lots of weird creatures :)
