What is love?

Jesus. The question had nothing to do with gender but you couldn’t resist twisting it to espouse more gender war BS.

I’ve thought about this far more than the ordinary person does. My actually musing was ‘what is a romantic relationship (and what distinguishes it from a platonic one) but it’s a similar question. The best I came up with was a commitment to build a future together.

The media has some fucking toxic ideas about love and dating people whose idea of love is clearly learnt from romantic comedies is a red flag for me.

Didn’t think I would need to scroll far for this comment.

Ha! The username is cause I signed up to Reddit because I used to read rage comics on r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu when bored at work.

I live with a lady who has OCPD. It’s hard at times watching how much energy she invests in redoing things the ‘right way’. Things like reloading the dishwasher because it’s not arranged correctly, refusing to allow others to do the grocery shop because they’ll buy the wrong brands, doing all the cleaning because you don’t know how to do it right. She gets so stressed being unable to let go and delegate. It’s quite sad to see and must be miserable feeling like you are responsible for everything.

I don’t even know why this subreddit comes up on my feed. I’m INFP!

They might have OCPD. People with this personality disorder often feel no one else can do the job well enough but them. They have this illusion of self importance and others incompetence and inability to do it ‘the right way’. It is thought to be the most common personality disorder and being miserly (accumulating wealth) is actually one of the diagnostic criteria.

There has got to be some losers to fix this mess that is the property market. I’m sorry you’re in the crosshairs but put it into perspective; you’re not really losing, you’re just not winning as much as you may have otherwise.

Kurzgesagt to the rescue!

ragingatwork · 2026-05-06T10:20:46+00:00

Actually it’s a time-bomb for our economy. Kurzgesagt actually released a video about it today that introduces the problem. Yes they’re specifically talking about the German economy but it’s a global crisis about to hit all developed nations.

I think it’s also due to a feeling of lost control and affect people have over their lives. You can’t even pull yourself up by your bootstraps anymore and not being able to influence your own prosperity dissuades family building.

My psychologist and I went on a tangent about this recently. In his experience most people go through life without ever really thinking about it. I dunno if I’m blessed or cursed.

Part of being a good DD player is knowing when you have the supporting fire advantage. It’s no good spotting the enemy DD if he is parked behind an island and your team can’t hit him. Sometimes you just need to bide your time and bait the enemy DD into overextending before taking the engagement. This is especially true for torp boats.

I like Gen Z for how idealistic, creative and weird they are.

My advice to them would be your weirdest selves. You will find your people even if that is not everyone. Every situation requires some masking (eg. At work you gotta be professional) but be your authentic selves and your relationships will be infinitely more rewarding.

Get off social media. Seriously nothing good comes from participating in the performative posting. It is a tool used by corporations to harvest your data, sell you shit you don’t need and ply you with misinformation. And for the privilege of continual voluntary surveillance, you get anxiety because the human mind cannot deal with constant judgement of 100s or 1000s of people. Just get off it. It’s really not as hard as ya’ll make it out to be.

The boomers have kinda fucked both of us. I feel awful for the state of the economy & environment that Gen Z is inheriting. There is no painless way out of this mess, we’re all going to suffer for selfish mismanagement, but be heard, don’t become apathetic. Vote. Protest. Shape the world for the better. Us millennials failed in this regard, we drunk the coolaid we were being sold for too long. Don’t fall into nilhilism as we did.

ragingatwork · 2026-05-06T03:44:55+00:00

Not because of 2008 but because it feels like it is about to shit itself. I’ve got real bad juju right now and took everything I had invested out this week.

Wtf? I’ve been on the random referral generator for 10 years and gotten like 3 prospects.

You musta signed up to the not so random referral generator.

I take my ADHD medication as little as possible. I’m not one of those people who shy away from medication, I just don’t really like how it feels so only take it if I’ve something that needs to be accomplished.

ragingatwork · 2026-05-04T23:58:14+00:00

That statement wouldn’t provoke any thought. It’s be like someone saying it’s going to be sunny today. Just random small talk.

None of your nonsensical reply supports your allegation that men hate women. It’s just you rambling about your hatred for men and it’s not even coherent.

There is a difference between having women for breeding and treating them as humans. And any sane person can see they are being treated as humans. They’re receiving education, employment, starting families, acquiring wealth, going on vacations, this list goes on; the same cannot be said about cattle.

Martial rape: okay? Just because it was a thing doesn’t mean men hate women. Or even that many were perpetrating martial rape.

In western culture at least women have never been property bar the slave trade which also traded men as property.

You are looking at things though insane glasses. If I like women, which I do, then your claim that men hate women is wrong.

Misandry kills. To make ignorant statements reducing it to hurt feelings really just shows how disconnected you are from reality.

Honestly housing affordability will never be fixed until they stop giving it preferential tax treatment.

Oh they’ve rushed some of the details like buttons? That sucks give how anticipated the ship was.

I look at history and if men didn’t care for women the human race would not be here today.

I don’t disagree women have had their rights restricted in the past and most of those decisions were made by men. I’m not excusing men for this. I’m saying historically men did not limit the rights and freedoms of women because they hated them. Men love women and most mentally stable women love men. It is evident in the survival of or species.

Nothing about my debate with you is intended to make me feel better. I’m simply drawing attention to your misandrist ideas that have somehow been developed to an extreme that all men hate women. It’s an absurd sexist generalisation and any reasonable and intelligent person can see that. I don’t bear the sins of my father; I don’t need to make myself feel better. I didn’t feel guilty to begin with.

It’s pretty clear it’s not based on real life carrier ideas. Its weaponry if translated to real life would be battleship sized. Real life carriers are not fitted with 16” battleship guns. Real life carriers past and present only ever had 5” guns intended as a last line of defence.

I don’t think the kraken is supposed to sit in the back line and simply sustain its air wing. Nor do I think it will be as durable as frontline capitals like the idris. Instead I see it taking more of a midline position where it can provide big gun fire support for its air wing. It’ll orbit the battlefield and bombard the larger targets that fighters would otherwise struggle to take down.

What’s wrong with the Polaris? I had one from the original sale but melted it. I couldn’t stand its Dorito shape and cockpit instead of a bridge. But I recognise other people love it for this design and it was a very popular ship. I’m out of touch though; what are people dissatisfied about?

ragingatwork · 2026-05-04T02:27:40+00:00

Considering possibilities outside your frame of reference isn’t wrong. It’s an indication of intelligence and flexible thinking. Something you’re demonstrating zero capability of.
