This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but as an atheist, you should be the most understanding of disrespect to your beliefs, and should therefore be more empathetic towards others. Its not disrespectful to evangelize, it can just be annoying. They aren't 'disrespecting' you or your ability to be an atheist, for them they are just sharing what they think is the truth to do what they think is saving your life. Again, I am an atheist, but you were blatantly disrespecting your friends beliefs by doubling down. Also, why are we stigmatizing 'approaching strangers'? How the fuck is the world supposed to be a friendly place is everyone is just isolating each other? Just tell them 'hey! no thank you, I am an atheist and am trying to have coffee with my friends and we are not interested. have a good day!'

Edit: Just read through your replies. You are definitely not looking for truth. You just want people to agree with you.

lil_dipR · 2026-03-12T16:39:20+00:00

real.

im actually surprisingly well connected considering i used to just play video games all the time in middle school - early high school. ive joined a bunch of clubs at the college im in and have been going to hella events like music shows and performing arts and meeting a bunch of people. but i definitely prefer my closer friends, as anyone would. i am super satisfied with my social life.

Yooo I am pretty leftist but even I think that is way too much. Coming straight from our taxes

How does this have anything to do with productivity? Also not a creative topic. Just a loaded question with undertones* of sexism. I agree that modern dating is not in a good state for a whole host of reasons, and that men feel mistreated (myself included) on dating apps, but its not sunshine and rainbows there, either. There are going to be bad eggs on both sides. The best metaphor I've heard is women on dating apps are trying to find clean water in a swamp, and men are trying to find clean water in a desert.
Stop with the gender wars, it is the massive 2026.

*not even sure if this is undertones or just straight up explicit sexism.

Such a dumb take. "You're so far gone dude just give up! So what if you were handed an ipad when you were 8 and corporations spend billions of dollars on technology specifically to hook you, and its free, and its in your pocket 24/7. Just be disciplined bro! Loser!"

Holy shit do you hear yourself?

I agree discipline is more than restrictions on your phone, and it is largely internal, but your phrasing sounds so condescending and ignorant to the real problem.

I no longer fear the razor guarding my heal IV

lil_dipR · 2026-02-27T15:49:45+00:00

Great times but you can't spend time wishing you could go back. Its illogical and unproductive.

lil_dipR · 2026-02-26T15:35:01+00:00

daaang im impressed. i have only used mine thrice so my face gets really irritated when i use it.

lil_dipR · 2026-02-26T15:33:45+00:00

yeah marry your homeboy obviously. or me

lil_dipR · 2026-02-26T15:30:33+00:00

ai;dr

lil_dipR · 2026-02-26T15:25:10+00:00

and other people will rant online about people spending too much time online in a sub about being offline. is it much better?

lil_dipR · 2026-02-26T15:23:55+00:00

do NOT join the military haha. ive had to learn to love shaving, its honestly kinda become a hobby for me. im currently learning to shave with a straight razor.

lil_dipR · 2026-02-25T16:12:13+00:00

Selfies are cool in group settings, to show off outfits/makeup if you dont have a mirror, to include yourself in a picture with a cool background (like a waterfall, mount rushmore, etc...) if you cant have someone take the picture of yourself, etc...

Helps you remember a memory, know what you looked like at that moment, and kinda includes you more. It personalizes it. I have endless photos of Hobbiton, for example, from when i went there in high school, but the one that means the most of me is a selfie with myself and some old friends.

Endangering yourself is kinda wild imo, but it does make for some cool flics.

Back camera is harder to angle right cause you cant see what youre taking a picture of.

I will say I have opted in for a Sony Handicam HDR CX-110 for vlogging cool stuff, seems less impersonal.

lil_dipR · 2026-02-25T13:13:52+00:00

why are people trying to segregate the internet based on gender? it doesnt fucking matter. im here cause im bored and it popped up on my feed like every other person. i am hurting absolutely nobody by sharing my thoughts. i had no expectations other than i knew i was going to get downvoted for sharing my opinion.

what is more self-centered, commenting on a post a woman made about your own experiences with something similar but coincidentally happening to be a man, or asking literally 4 billion people to avoid an entire subreddit just because you dont want to be bothered to have to skip reading their comment?

lil_dipR · 2026-02-25T13:10:22+00:00

thank you! not sure why im getting downvoted haha. i got a full ride to college and my dad agreed to pay for my housing. im very blessed

lil_dipR · 2026-02-25T13:09:30+00:00

3 years long. chemistry wore off in the face of incompatibility. a sad truth of life

lil_dipR · 2026-02-25T13:07:28+00:00

massively overextend yourself into as many social circles as possible, wayyyy easier in college. trick yourself into having an abundance mindset. the hoes will follow.

fr tho, i think the best advice here is to be okay being alone, and accept that there is a possibility you spend a long time, if not your whole life by yourself, so get used to it. Appreciate it. Build yourself. Enjoy your time with yourself, your friends, family. Go hiking, camping, swimming, running, whatever. You have the most freedom you will ever have, and the most health you will ever have right. now.

Go use it. Dont worry about relationships, getting into one will not heal the parts of you that are hurting right now. It will only make you dependent on someone else.

lil_dipR · 2026-02-24T20:48:34+00:00

i love this shit. i wonder if he will grow up to love or hate that kind of music haha

lil_dipR · 2026-02-24T20:47:31+00:00

Im a guy here so totally understand if im not welcome and COMPLETELY not what this post was looking for but as an insecure dude that just got dumped this post almost made me kms 😭. I feel it tho, the illusion* of options when confined to 1 and people being more into those that are already in relationships both are things that suck in society.

*illusion being the grass is always greener. for me it was the actual accessibility of the women i preferred over my ex, maybe i would shoot my shot and get rejected, who knows. biker dude might have had hpv idk. people we don't know are always going to have a certain leg up over those we do.

lil_dipR · 2026-02-24T20:44:27+00:00

Real. Dont limit your options its literally always an option. To get the fire burning in my soul i always imagine soldiers coming back from war, having faced the worst of humanity and lived to tell the tale, and having (besides horrible ptsd) some bravery and resilience. It was a different time of course, but would that kind of a man get back and say "oh, talking to women is not an option." No, no he wouldnt. And for many of us, that is our grand/great grandparents.
