  • This reminds me of a story with an old high school maths teacher.

    Someone said a number divided by zero was zero and he proceeded to explain why it was not. One of the class jokers went "oh yeah, well my calculator says it's zero!". The teachers smiles and says "surely not" and approaches the joker to see what kind of shenanigan he was pulling. And sure as hell he divides five by zero and zero is the result. The teacher, not believing his own eyes, looks at the calculator, then the joker, then the calculator again. The window was open. Figure out the rest yourself.

  • I actually still tried to talk to him after that party when Lisa ate Tony. He admitted he felt somewhat jealous that women were always more forthcoming to me than him. I told him he had no reason to feel that way. I gave him examples of multiple situations when some women were interested in him. And he had no reason to feel threatened by me of all people. When I said "threatened" he lost his mind. "Me! Threatened by YOU?!! Are you fucking crazy, let me laugh!". And basically lost his mind on me and I ended the conversation and that's when I finally gave up on him.

  • "some people say to work on yourself, and that no one wants to date someone who is depressed or desperate. they don’t get it. this is the whole reason i’m depressed"

    But we do. We do get it. I've been on your shoes. Your post reminded me so much of me, you have no idea. I remember that hole so well. I will always remember it even thought it has been over 10 years. I'm so clear out of it but I will always remember it. How can we forget it, right? That cold place. It IS an awful place.

    I know how it feels that if you could just find someone it would all be OK. Someone who would love you. Someone you felt you belong to. It would start to pull yourself up and one thing would led to another and you'd end up OK. But that's not reality, it wouldn't. Chances are you'd find someone toxic that would abuse you and take advantage of you because it's clear you don't love yourself. That mindset attracts awful people. Or, if you're lucky, you would attract someone nice that you would hold on for dear life to the point she would feel suffocated and eventually leave you and break your heart harder than you ever believe possible. You haven't known true heartbreak until you actually have someone and then lose her.

    When people say to learn to love yourself, I know it sounds stupid, but trust me...that's the key! You have to learn to love yourself. Only then can others love you. Embrace your nerdiness, or awkwardness or whatever. Embrace yourself. You ARE awesome. How can anyone love you if even you think you suck? When you start loving yourself and treating yourself your energy completely changes. You don't come as desperate and before you know it you start attracting people to you without even thinking about it. Romantic or not. When you stop putting girls in a pedestal and just start looking at them as just another person the dynamic changes. You start dealing a lot better with rejection and that makes everyone feels easier. When you meet a girl put his in your head "she's cute but it's not going to happen so I'm just going to have fun". Don't chase it just be fun and nice. Fun is a lot more attractive than you think. If it's supposed to happen it will happen. If not, she'll think you're fun and she will have friends she'll love you to meet. There are no soul mates. There are a lot of fish in the sea.

    Learn to love yourself and relieve yourself of the pressure to seduce and stuff will happen.

  • Is this going to be a remake of the Paul Verhoeven movie or a movie faithful to the book? I got the impression it was going to be the latter and it scares me. At this point in the US, such a movie would awfully seem like the kind of militaristic propaganda Trump would love for his expansionist Putinesque fantasies.

  • I've been here since the API exodus. I still go on reddit sometimes but found myself frequenting Lemmy a lot more. It's just better and the slow growing is quite noticeable. Gone were the days where you were always checking for new posts.
