I mean, bonus points for dignity, but she was drunk and could not really consent iirc.

I was also drunk, we were at a bar. She moved towards me to make out. People make out and fuck drunk and/or high all the time.

general self loathing

Honestly I don’t know you that well, but I relate to the self loathing, but on a “social fuck up” sort of way.

That said, chances are you put society on a pedestal. The average person is either astoundingly stupid or a sociopathic/narcissistic piece of shit and as a result society is unfair and dysfunctional. As a result, you shouldn’t be hard on yourself. In fact, that you are as hard on yourself as you seem, you are probably better than the average person by a notch or two.

Me after ruining my access to a friend group by falling in love with one of them (well, technically two, its a long story) and becoming obsessed.

In theory, is there a world where cops are not all bastards?

Similar happening in DC would result in a rapid spike in ICE detentions and missing person reports.

I’m vaccinated/drug-protected against the most dangerous STI’s and have a vasectomy. I’m probably not getting laid very often at all but I’m not really worried when I do and I lack a condom.

And I don’t like wings.

I carry neither.

Part of me actually wonders if he is fucking up badly enough that there are enough republicans willing to vote to remove at this point. Not because of any moral issues but because his bullshit is actually bothering rich people at this point and the MAGA cult has significantly less influence now so they are less worried about being removed via primary.

Just the black coffee that tastes like mud in a foam cup for me thanks.

I’ve literally experienced turning down a sad drunk woman trying to make out with me who had turned me down in high school. I wasn’t like “Ha! You could of had me! Too late.” It was more like "What the fuck, fuck you. You said no and now your washed up and you think I’m a easy catch, that’s fucking insulting. " Or at least that’s what was going through my head I said basically nothing I just bolted from her in disgust and anger.

Also mixed admittedly with some grief and bitterness about my high school experiences directly related to her.

Part of me wonder admittedly if I should have swallowed my pride and just got with her and I was being petty for suddenly bolting in disgust. But probably not a good idea to get with someone seeking a rebound after being cheated on. And I wasn’t really that attracted to her anymore anyway. Though I was still pretty desperate for love at this point in my life…

I never understand the sense of superiority conveyed in these stories because its mostly just sad all around for me to think about. At the same time though I don’t really know if its incel-coded because there is the exact same story conveyed from the women’s perspective pretty commonly on the internet. I think its just a common human inclination to want to boost one’s ego.

For me its almost been the inverse. Almost.

I cared a lot about politics between 2002-ish to 2024. Now I’m honestly just kind of “Whatever you stupid fucks obviously deserve this for not voting or voting for him.” at least towards my fellow Americans.

I feel bad for the world though.

If we reset this thing to fair you would probably have less than you do today

This is very unlikely to be true just from a pure physical reality stand point. Like, if global communism or socialism or whatever was implemented but otherwise retained the logistics and infrastructure of the previous system, its genuinely likely the “fatter” cats would have better lives. Materially? Probably the same at worst. Psychologically? A million times better just because we’d have a “floor”. We’d have better healthcare, housing availability/city & town planning, and transportation as well. The only thing we’d maybe lose is cheap trinkets, giant trucks, and 20+ variations of cheese puffs. Shit that doesn’t matter.

IDK, while I agree that the broad stupidity that we see today is more to do with poor education and not really genetics at all, there is something to be said that if you have stupid parents they’ll probably fail to educate you. Further, that stupid (uneducated) people do have kids more often than smart (educated) people. I wouldn’t say that’s a genetic issue though.

I feel torn because I do agree that we have a systemic problem, I’m a consequentialist not a virtue ethicist.

But on a raw emotional level as an educated person, I also can’t help but blame broad stupidity on our situation as something individuals largely indulge in. Where I find the average person to be intolerably incurious or unwilling to re-examine their own beliefs and I never really inter-personally want to interact with them.

It is not within my reach to be like her in the ways I wish to be like her…

I appreciate that sweetheart. I think you are cool as well. You seem like a good person.

I wish I had someone like you in my life. Or be like you.

Sad girls are more cool than sad boys. And sad boys are more cool than sad men. I say as a sad man.

I think the implication is fights are more common and as a result are of lower concern. Unclear though.

I like cheese but honestly the food/snack aspect of holidays is often the most overblown aspect of any holiday for me.

The only extra calories I accept come in the form of booze.

This seems completely expected.

There are also disillusioned sorts who were into politics but have decided its a doomed project and that we’re all fucked anyway. And that anytime they engage they just destroy themselves socially while everyone else around them socially thrives by being complacent.
