on the male loneliness epidemic

The Tumbler OP is 100% not a man, if they were they‘d know not getting laid as a man is very often not a personal skill issue. I know many young men who are conventionally attractive and emotionally mature who just kind of have lost interest in dating even though they generally want a relationship.

I totally understand that between job/school, social media biases, self-worth doubts and economic insecurities, the incentive to navigate through predatory dating apps and toxic left/right bubbles just to meet another insta reels addict is minimal.

Staying single however makes you neither bloom nor gloom, it‘s just okay. Which is something I‘ve learned not to complain about given the current state of the world. Maybe someday I‘ll reconsider…

Anon loves proprietary tech

No wait, you're telling me that mega-corporations don't care about me getting good products and having sole ownership of my personal data?

B-but [sponsored tech-geek blog], [generic gaming-news outlet] and [irrelevant apple shill] only ever told me so! Are you implying they lie to me?

Realtalk I only use cracked win11 pro workstation and iPhone because of work, every telemetry possible disabled (god bless the EU).

It's a feature.

My problem with Windows is the kernel level anticheat that comes with online games. On linux these anticheats only have user privileges, and still allow you to play online. That alone is just such a massive advantage that the ~10 games that don‘t run on Linux are negligible to me. Also it‘s the publisher‘s choice they only work on Windows so fuck ’em!

Anon shares a family moment

People like Anon‘s dad are the reason why earth is still such a backward hillbilly place. Irrational disdain for harmless things like queerness, meanwhile actual problems and crimes like global warming, PFAS usage, genocide and corruption from top government officials are being ignored.

Fun fact: Humans are less socially intelligent than apes.

Nice one

Nah, fuck this lickspittle corpo speak!

"What is the purpose of this meeting and why do I need to be included?" is a perfectly polite sentence appropriate in any work environment consisting of mature and distinguished adults.

Do not enslave yourself to the machine, because the people running it will treat you like a slave.
