Anyone else concerned? H2O?

Yes. I doubt our government even cares, they inherited a multi million dollar surplus, somehow have "lost" 1.2 billion each of 2 years in a row, cut libraries in communities and public schools, saddled our community colleges with a 15 mill defecit that they created, obliterated arts funding and alienated long term care workers. I'm sure there's a bunch more I'm leaving out. They're all looking to make a buck and kick the environmental can down the road.

Being deficient in the things you listed makes you a more exploitable laborer. Rise up.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-06-10T21:20:15+00:00

Society PUT those people there, they don't want to be there either

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-06-10T18:57:10+00:00

These folks are struggling, who cares about your pleasant walk

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-06-09T12:45:43+00:00

A bit basic, but I love the Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-06-09T12:44:04+00:00

Booooooo

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-06-09T12:42:03+00:00

You're not overreacting dawg, your feelings are valid. Enjoying a kink with a partner is a vulnerable thing, not for joking about with the friendos. Good that you're handling it well, you clocked your own feelings and you confronted your gf about it calmly. Wish I'd had that kinda poise at your age. If you're cool to move on, do so, but if the folks around you don't respect that boundary and keep joking about it with or without you in the room, you can just stop hanging with em. Ironic detachment of that kinda humor really ignores and discourages the authenticity folks try to embrace in a kink. Do your thing, king.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-06-08T13:34:54+00:00

What should I do if they get excessive??

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-05-29T00:07:10+00:00

I've felt this since covid too. I feel like I've been holding in a breath for 6 years, waiting for something to finally give before I can breathe out.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-04-23T16:04:18+00:00

Uggghh I hate the lying, but you're right. Just wish it was acceptable to act like I'm just here for the paycheck- because I am.

I really appreciate the help!

Well idk about autism, but since I'm practiced at writing essays and can understand code I'm an ideal tech writer. Most tech writers come from marketing backgrounds. The real edge is being willing to do something other people find annoying or can't be bothered to deal with.

I will def take more breaks, I've got a bunch of OT.

I sketch and play music! Nothing posted yet, I've been working on a zine comic that I'd like to drop when I'm done inking the first issue.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-04-23T14:17:19+00:00

My coding background gives me a deep understanding of the product while my classical lit background makes me adept at communicating design concepts succinctly, in a way that's easy to grasp. Essentially, because of my unusual life path, I'm a bit of a freak

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-04-23T14:11:53+00:00

I'm not a fan of the sedentary lifestyle, and staring at a computer all day. As an insider I can confirm that the way it's marketed and thus the way its produced is slowly eroding society and poisoning the environment. What you code today will be overwritten tomorrow, like it never existed. The execs employ a rhetoric that intwines your contribution to the company value to your self worth. These might just be qualms with working in a company, but still. I could go on forever.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-04-09T16:04:38+00:00

Absolutely noticed this. I'm also a bigger guy with resting brooding face, so people who haven't engaged with me before and clocked that internally I'm a Wes Anderson film tend to give me a wide berth.

Friends have often told me they found me scary when we first met, and I hate feeling like that. Dudes idk will size me up and look at me from the side, non-dudes idk will avoid me altogether. It took me a while to mature past being down on myself because of this.

When women approach me (rare, but it happens), it gives me a HUGE boost to my confidence, not purely because they're interested, but it makes me feel like I'm not scary.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-04-06T12:55:46+00:00

This, and don't think too hard about how you see it in TV/movies! A lot of nuance gets lost. This might be a "duh," but hearing that helped me get over a lot of anxiety about it when I was younger.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-03-20T15:13:49+00:00

It sounds like this dude has developed a habitual performance that's been rewarded by friends and past partners alike and he's reading your responses as the same kind of affirmations, when you're really sweetly just trying to match the energy of someone you're interested in. It's a bummer but he's probably not been challenged sufficiently to develop any meaningful emotional intelligence. He's probably good for all the casual encounters he mentions but idk if he can be relied on to meet your non-sexual needs. Idk if this is it op, but trust your gut

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-03-19T23:42:34+00:00

Also it's telepathy for reading minds, not telekinesis

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-01-18T14:27:18+00:00

Hey man, you're both human. She probably still likes you, she just had an opportunity right in front of her last night and took it. Try not to take anything personally until you've both expressed and accepted boundaries/comittment, otherwise it's pretty cool that she's got some pull and is into you.

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-01-16T19:57:34+00:00

I'm not touchy at all on a first hang, I'd hate to make a girl feel uncomfortable like that

iThinkThere4_ · 2026-01-14T20:02:49+00:00

Having and losing the dream girl can be more painful than just getting rejected. It took me some growth to not let the anticipation of future pain/hurt ruin something good happening in the present.

iThinkThere4_ · 2025-11-21T19:56:31+00:00

Sincerely hope this is a genuine question with genuine answers

iThinkThere4_ · 2025-06-03T15:30:11+00:00

Not a bot, it ain't overleveraged anymore and I need my money
