  • combined with refusal to have real life human contact with women,

    It's quite possible it's the other way around on that one. I've certainly had periods of my life where I had to branch out pretty far in my social circle to meet women because the things I enjoyed doing are either solo activities or of little interest to women (at least around here). Some of that has gotten better in the last decade or so as nerdy shit has become more socially acceptable and ive built up a more diverse social network for myself but it was a rocky start and if I didn't get lucky with the people I had around me it could have turned out much worse.

  • The trick is to be so reliable that no one would conceive of getting rid of you even if you come off a little assholish sometimes. I started on the help desk at my last job (fairly large company with around ~25k employees and within a year or two I was the go to for a few of the c-levels when they had issues. I pissed off middle management types occasionally when I couldn't do something they wanted right away because I needed more information or whatever and had to wait on something. Anytime they tried to start shit with me it never took long for a bigger fish to get involved and have my back because they were familiar with my work and knew I wasn't just fucking around.

  • If it was me id host my shit on my own platform and post shorts on YouTube and everywhere else linking back to it. Being a content creator sounds like he'll to me though so this is all hypothetical.

  • Yeah, I had to leave for work at 6 during the week so that was when he got fed. If I wasn't awake by 5:30 He was on my chest licking/biting my face. I could have set my clock by it. He had a crazy sense of time.

  • Wrongly shot? Are you saying it’s unreasonable to see a person come out of an alley with a long rifle they didn’t see before, and assume that person is about to do a mass shooting?

    When open carry is legal, yeah, it's unreasonable (if you want to argue that allowing people to carry firearms is stupid I'd agree with you, but that was the situation here so the participants need to act appropriately). He wasn't holding the rifle in a threatening manner or pointing it at the crowd. You can see this in the video. There was nothing to indicate he was about to shoot someone. If he was MAGA or not is irrelevant, carrying a rifle where carrying is legal is not implicitly a threat. There has to be more than that before you start shooting at someone.

  • He was just wrongly shot by a trigger-happy psycho who may be hunting him? If he wanted to shoot people he was well within range to do so. Why would he need to charge the crowd to do that? Why didn't he shoot anyone after charging them? There is nothing to support the narrative that he was violent.

  • Security was across the street and started shooting before he ever acknowledged them. They were far enough that it's conceivable he didn't hear them at all. He didn't run until they fired. This is all in the link they provided. It's a video, not a still.

  • Had this happen recently. Turned out to be a stick that was wedged up into the hub and rubbing on the wheel. But then in the process of removing the stick I found that the wheel was fused to the brake drum and no amount of kicking or banging on it with a sledge would knock it loose. Waiting for a dry weekend to take a more aggressive approach to dealing with that problem...

  • I'm single and childless and I personally like being hybrid. Full work from home fucks my mental health up pretty bad. I'm definitely in the minority among my peers though. I also wouldn't ever ask that anyone else be forced to come back to the office just because it isn't for me.
