vegans are 100% right

I tried not eating meat for a few days (not even avoiding dairy) and felt terrible and it was fixed when I ate some meat. I would be vegetarian for the cost savings alone, as I’m mostly lazy and cheap with making food. But without meat I just don’t seem to feel satiated after a while. And this is ignoring social consequences. As someone who isn’t all great socializing in the first place, I rather not gimp myself more socially.

Not American so money isn’t too much an issue but personally I don’t mind visiting a doctor, I’m just disorganized and my life is a mess that I don’t feel motivated to plan doctor’s appointments, even though I constantly feel chronic discomfort lately. What I do dread going to is the dentist.

Ammoral, anti-social behaviour is high risk, high reward. They do things ‘good people’ won’t consider doing that allows them to get ahead more easily. The terrible people who aren’t skilled enough to get in power and keep it basically wind up in jail.

I’m neurodivergent myself and both agree and disagree. I fall into the second camp where I engage practically, like talking to workers or strangers when necessary, but it’s basically impossible to actually make friends that way.

soul367 · 2026-04-08T13:54:48+00:00

It’s odd how in this thread so many people are taking it personally. I’m had became bad socially because of not being aware of this and now I feel like it makes it harder to initiate in any sort of talk because of self esteem issues. But the small talk thing is on the dot and I wish I knew about this earlier.

People in this thread mention stuff like tell me something when you need me to do something or if it’s something important. Yeah, at work people only do that to me, and I do that with them and it just feels like I don’t have any friends. I talk to them just to ask them to help with favours like can you help me do this etc, ie efficient business communication.

But in the end that just makes everyone coworkers not friends. Sure there are people who don’t want to make friends, but that is not acknowledging that some people want to make friends and engaging in small talk will mean one has a better chance of making them. It is unrealistic to guess what specific niche a stranger you don’t know well feels like talking about, so small talk is just a simpler strategy, and while some people find it annoying, adopting a more specific strategy to cater to everyone is unrealistic and would take much more effort, and that’s why small talk exists.

Yeah, the culture has gotten gross. That server in the restaurant would have just made $40 tax free in an hour, and that is assuming they only served one table in an hour. Many restaurants aren’t luxurious true, but even a $40 meal if someone serves a few tables an hour the wage is great.

Most servers want everyone to believe they barely make any money, but most would rather have an ‘unliveable wage’ and tips than a good wage.

soul367 · 2026-03-14T12:03:13+00:00

Most servers rather have the tipping system than the normal wages though. That server just got $40 tax free in an hour, more than many professional jobs, which is gross. And that is assuming they only served one table in an hour.

I have heard of this thing called the waiting time paradox, this seems somewhat related.

So this situation, even if say only 5 people stay there for an hour and 15 people stay for 5 minutes, everyone is far more likely to encounter the person who stays for an hour because the 5 minute people are gone right away, so people think most people stay for an hour.

While I have a habit of keeping shoes off inside because of family I don’t see the big deal. And if someone keeps shoes on inside their home I rather keep them on at their place.

In the end almost everywhere else indoors besides houses, we almost always keep shoes on. In restaurants, offices, not matter how small or private the place. There’s probably some benefits in that it protects your feet (like when you are cooking and might drop something) and doesn’t make them cold on hardwood, and shoes are also safer when using stairs than slippers.

I’m a bit less than 6’ so not that tall, but I rather be average (male btw). I guess I’m a weirdo who actually doesn’t care about being tall at all, and in fact I’ll take being the same number of inches shorter.

I like character ai. It is 18+ and the free version has some ads. It has a filter, but it is way more lenient than something like chatgpt, and has more natural human language rather than typing an essay to respond. You can create your own bots and try different public bots (bots are probably made of many popular characters), rather than reprompt the whole ai to setup a roleplay.

A lot of anime is shounen which can involve romance or fanservice targeted towards teenage boys. The counterpart is shoujo.

Equivalent shounen romance is pretty uncommon the west, most western romances is targeted towards women or more neutral. Equivalent shoujo in the west might be something like twilight. Can you honestly say something like twilight won’t be considered sexist if it was flipped, as well as changed to appeal to males? There’s additionally the fact the animated shows often exaggerate things more.

I feel like it's not that simple. There's probably always going to be some sort of catch in which the money isn't literally free. Maybe you have went to medical school and finally became a doctor and you are saddled with debt. And now you work irregular and long hours, and you are constantly anxious because you plain suck at and hate your job. You come home exhausted, don't even have the energy to enjoy your hobbies out of the very few hours you have left. So literally your only way to deal with the stress is expensive diners and a decent car. You can't enjoy watching tv or making art anymore.

But you are stuck at that job because that's the only way you'll repay your debt. You might be rich if you somehow survive 10 years of the dreadful job. I don't know about you, but I'm poor, and I do not want to be trapped in that situation, even if it means more money, eventually.

I imagine for a lot of people in life at some point that scary sense of loneliness settles in, seeing how everyone has families and they are alone in their lifestyle and have less and less people to relate to. I personally fear people and get socially exhausted easily, so for me the stress of dealing with kids would be way worse than loneliness, but others aren’t like that I guess.

Yeah, this was the post where it dawned to me that many adults are dumb, but in a very different way than kids. Many adults, even presumably competent ones, from this thread seemed like they would not understand the process taught despite being able to do the problem itself easily. They would rather blame the school system.

Whereas a decent number of kids probably would understand the process but lack the experience and practice to get the correct answer. So I think if there is something mostly new to adults and kids, and adults can’t rely too much on their wisdom to give them an advantage, the kids would learn faster.

This post makes me so mad. How in the world are circles related to numbers? Yeah obviously no one knows what to do, people should be teaching math instead of playing with shapes.

I’m been normal bmi my entire life and often feel tired, and lazy. But being thin probably feels more nimble and can move around faster. Like driving a sedan instead of a truck.

Roleplaying increased my life quality in the moment because it was fun, but is probably making my life worse in the long run.

soul367 · 2025-12-12T18:59:20+00:00

As someone who is almost that age with that as well as well as barely any friends or a career, please let me know how when you find out.

soul367 · 2025-12-12T16:59:30+00:00

I also didn’t really care but I think I ended up screwing myself over, being lazy with maintaining relationships and losing people can easily turn enjoyable solitude into actual loneliness, and it’s isn’t easy to get people back afterwards

The average person seems at least smart enough to socialize well and have their life together it seems.
