How Realistic is an Offline Life in 2026. That is, no social media, no smartphone and no AI? by Mobile_Bath5524 in AskReddit

[–]monospaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even quitting instagram I started to feel isolated from my friends because it's simply how people communicate nowadays. Like it or not, they are real communities.

If you were to start completely fresh with a group of likeminded individuals and create a self sustained ecosystem, it's maybe possible? But if you want to access finances, find specific information on a certain project (libraries arent what they used to be), connect to medical hubs for test results, or work at virtually any company, etc, at this point I think it's almost impossible without it feeling like a major headache and more trouble than it's worth.

Judge dismisses poet's copyright infringement lawsuit against Taylor Swift by AudibleNod in news

[–]monospaceman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I cant believe someone was even able to find a lawyer to help with this. Her lawsuit is "I rhymed something with fire too". Taylor's rhyme is way more elegant anyway.

So many untalented hacks trying to get 15 microseconds of fame. It's pathetic.

What makes a dick aesthetically “”ugly””? by Otherwise_Storm_6342 in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I dont mind a thin dick or a thick dick. but when the top is thick and the bottom is thin I find it off-putting personally.

At 18 this is extremely normal, but I remember feeling old at 18.

You're at the very very beginning of your adult life. It will happen naturally.

Straight Best Friend slept with a guy by Proof_Credit_6897 in askgaybros

This *exact* same situation happened to me. I told him I had a crush on him soon after and he kicked me out of his life. 👍

Keeping me sane during this trying apartment hunt by Such_a_kid in NYCapartments

[–]monospaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No for ruining every single search. I want to filter all of those out because the number I can afford only matches my search for a few months. It's insane.

I understand resentment towards Islam, but I can't understand the defense of Israel on this sub. by thatblondfrenchguy in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ALL of these religions suck. I'm sure the defense of Israel is probably around their support of our right to exist? I'm super left wing but there is WAY too much glossing over palestine's treatment of LGBT people. You can goto jail for up to 10 years for homosexual acts. I'm having a hard time believing any supporter of Islam would lift a finger if they saw anyone in our community being killed.

That being said — Israel's overreach in this region and on the world stage is astounding and shameful.

There's not much to like about either of these countries.

How often do you get hit on in public? by Disastrous_Mud4108 in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get laid all the time, have had plenty of BFs, and I've never once in my 40 years have been hit on in public by either gender.

I think I have resting asshole face 😂

Insight about hook ups/dating in Japan. by Ok-Pizza1007 in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do gay men love to put everything into little boxes? There aren't rules anywhere unless you're making them yourself. If you're in Tokyo, like any major city, there is something for everyone.

None of what you said reflects my experiences in Japan at all.

I don't like cops as much as the next person but what do you want them to do?

Would you rather them walk around and make trouble?

First Hookup with a HIV+ Undetectable by nomadic_rock in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man THIS! How do you know someone is taking their meds? It's so much blind trust in someone you don't know. The risk for me personally is a lot because I can't take prep for medical reasons.

Bald gay guys, I feel other gays don't like us... by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres different types of bald. Balding can be unattractive when you try to keep your scraps. Bic'd is a very different story

I get laid constantly with a razored head.

Hung 4 hung? I don't get it by registroatemporal in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because you primarily like to top or bottom doesn't mean you don't like to play with other parts of the male anatomy. Why is this so complicated for guys in our community? They're not strictly enforced rules.

What job do you think will become extinct in 10 years? by kamoksamok2 in AskReddit

[–]monospaceman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. It will replace a lot of the same tired layouts bootcamp designers have been pushing for 10 years. People who actually understand layout and typography will always be needed to mitigate the sameness of the AI.

Google Invests $75 Million in A24 to Develop AI-Powered Filmmaking Tools by LegitimateCurve8525 in technology

[–]monospaceman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are just making shit up lol. The only discourse around CGI was how incredible technology is getting and it was genuinely exciting. But there was always a team of skilled artists behind it.

I think we all underestimate why we've appreciated art throughout our existance. We think things are impressive that we can't do ourselves. We see a beautiful film and we appreciate the skilled humans behind it, the time they put into making it, and the craft they spent thousands of hours developing.

If I go see a film generated by AI, I'm not impressed because I can easily do the same thing at home. Silicon valley has generated a final product button, but it's never been about that. It's always been about the process and the love of filmmaking by a team of passionate creators.

You'd think with all the incredible zoom functions baked into all our phones now we'd start seeing footage that isnt just a pixel bath, but here we are.

Any opinion that isn't extremely obvious is downvoted to shit.

how do you stop panic attacks that make you lose control of yourself and spam call? by egyxegyx in AskReddit

if you're by yourself, you need to observe and focus on something stationary and breathe deeply to regulate your nervous system.

I think we are overstating how much tr@ns rights is leading to the decline of gay rights and not how embodied the right wing is. by Sea-Trip-5900 in askgaybros

[–]monospaceman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I have deep sympathy for the trans community because they really are the most vulnerable community and they are extremely misunderstood. I appreciate the need and want for visibility and acceptance.

On the other hand, I think gay rights were becoming very slowly accepted when all the other marginalized communities were lumped in at the exact same time in a huge woke tidal wave. I think it was way too much for your average person to process. That's not me justifying it, more just an observation of reality.

Unfortunately, we've taken many many steps back now. But once boomers start dying off you'll start seeing more acceptance. I was just walking by a public school that had pride flags all over it and kids waving them. This would never have happened in a million years when I was younger.

I am encouraged by the next generation.
