It’s just like anything else honestly.

I have a cousin with a sometimes stiff button for a penis a he has never dated below a 10.

His wife is gorgeous and his kids are beautiful. Been married almost 20 years and had multiple flings before that, as well as girls going batshit insane over him all his life despite an entire small town seeing his shorts come off at the local pool.

I told the guys on the Reddit small wiener community about this ages ago and they told me to go to hell in that life was miserable and I didn’t understand and was making it up. Well, I might not understand personally, but I’m definitely not making it up.

Women don’t get a damn, not really. Your bros might give you shit, but most women don’t care.

Some do. Some don’t like guys who eat Cheetos and want a dude who eats healthy and works out. Oh well. She ain’t the one.

Don’t stress.

You know what made life so easy with the women for my cousin? You can see his confidence a mile away. He’s brilliant and he knows it. So are you. Know it.

Bro gestures wildly at the 20th century.

Do we really want to make humanity as miserable in the 21st? Seriously?

I hate to say it, but humanity isn’t some perfect machine that can be walked blissfully or painfully into a utopia.

We are creatures born from complete and total chaos with brains suited to live in isolated, likeminded communities that have similar physical features. We have spread our religions around the world in an attempt to make it one big likeminded community and it hasn’t worked, and it won’t ever work. We would have to do what Hitler attempted to do and pick one group and keep only them or people would still find a way to devolve into groups and destroy the utopia. I’d be willing to bet they’d do it anyway if every one of them had the exact same face.

People are still out here trying to make one big group of humanity. In the case of the Christian missionary who goes into isolated pockets of the world to spread the “gospel”, and in the case of some random person on the internet who wants to purge people who think wrong (according to them).

There is a chance, in my view, that your utopia could be achieved, but not with humanity as we are. We could edit our species to be more compatible with a world without borders. We’re not going to get there with the violent revolutionaries doing purges.

Ultimately, I hope it isn’t us. I hope we create the perfect being one day that will spread out across the universe and live for thousands of years (or better).

They won’t have to answer moral questions which are answered differently by every person you encounter. They will know for a fact that they were created and then can build and rebuild themselves as they see fit without worrying about whether it’s the right thing to do.

I don’t know. I wish we could sit around, have a cigar, and really discuss this.

I believe with all of my heart that violence won’t work because violence is answered with more violence. Always. Even when someone knows they can’t win, when presented with violence they answer by taking as many of the enemy as they can with them.

Every little group can go full caveman and fight each other and no one will ever win. No one will walk away with any moral superiority. Any Rome that rises will someday fall.

I would ask you to think about this.

When colonists encountered natives, they viewed them as lesser humans and executed them mercilessly. They weren’t bothered by this because they had a vision. They wanted to build their own perfect world. In their world, there was no room for lesser people. You know? Savages.

How can you be sure that you’re any better?

These are thinking, feeling, living, breathing human beings who just want to live right. They’re doing what they were told to do in an attempt to live right. Most people are harmless and they just want to sit in their corner and pray and hope for eternal life because we’re all in this miserable pit together.

The ones among them who would kill to rebuild a perfect world according to them, well. You might have more in common with them than you realize.

And that is sad.

I hope you see it, or I hope you have no success in what it is you’re calling for. I hope you’re all words and no action, and I hope that you bring no one to your cause. Not because I want you to hurt, but because I don’t want anyone else to hurt.

Some of us are intelligent enough to figure this whole thing out, at least I think. I’m not one of them, but I wish those that are all the best.

We have improved this world immensely through science, put your hope there please.

Oh, yeah. That’s works every time it’s ever happened. All the people responsible went down in history as amazing and the conflict ended and no one ever brought it up again.

Listen, maybe I think too highly of Lemmy, but you’re probably pretty smart if you’re here.

If we were to take all of the best people and drop them off on Mars tomorrow with all of the necessary equipment to survive and then cut off communication with the intention of going back in 200 years, we’d find a mess when we returned.

We’d find split factions, brand new religions, people fighting over what the folks who came before them did, and plenty more.

The solution is never to purge. That isn’t a permanent solution. It creates martyrs for the next generation. That’s all it does. It strengthens the resolve of the very thing you are fighting.

And then it just goes in a circle.

I’m not personally intelligent enough to begin to comprehend or provide the answers for our species, but I’m at least smart enough to look back at what hasn’t worked already and say, “Maybe let’s not do that again.”

All we’re doing with that kind of crap is kicking a nastier problem on down the road, and if the side you’re fighting wins, it will be your people’s turn to be purged.

Damn man. I was with you until the whole “destroy itself” part. I just pray (lol) that they can be free of it all one of these days.

That all of us can.

These folks aren’t interested in a date. Depraved sex is to them what collecting old video games is to me.

It’s just a hobby, and they aren’t usually picky or they can’t afford their hobby.

And yet, here we are.

Yeah I don’t really care for them, but free? I will Nazi or hear anyone giving me a hard time in my fake DeLorean.

Those ears could hear prey 10 miles away, maybe better.

It has a lot to do with it, but I’ve only ever been with one fellow musician. None of the other women played music. They just liked music.

I don’t get it, really. Maybe I’ve just been really lucky.

I have not been single for more than about 5 months since I was 13 (aside from a short window between 18 and 20 when I worked at an office full of people in their 50s and had no contact with anyone my own age). When my ex and I split after about 13 years, I had several flings between that and meeting my wife. I didn’t go looking for them either. I never once made a pass at any woman until she first said something obvious to me. I don’t do subtlety at all.

I’m not attractive, I’m not tall. I haven’t settled and been with anyone I didn’t find attractive or intelligent (only once, directly after the split with my ex, I was a wreck. She was pretty, but dumb as a box of rocks. I was projecting things onto her that weren’t true at all because of the state that I was in).

I am a musician in a small town though, and almost every girl I ever dated was deeply into music and it usually started from there.

It could just be luck, but I really do believe it has everything to do with confidence and being sure of oneself. I have issues, and a lot of them, but I don’t hold back and I never have. The people who don’t like me have an honest reason not to and the people who do don’t have to guess with me.

I have always been unapologetically who I am wherever I go.

I also prefer the company of no one and spend most of my time in isolation and I’ve still had good luck.

I’m getting older now though, and I’m a stay at home dad these days and more isolated than I’ve ever been. I would say that if my wife were to leave me today, I’d be alone for a very long time.

I’m not bragging here either, I’m not about that kind of thing at all. I’m obviously coming from a position of privilege, be it luck or whatever I have going on here that gives me that privilege. I really do think it would be easier for other men though if they’d find confidence and become very passionate about something that women can relate to. My passion for music has definitely, definitely, definitely helped me.

I even spent many years struggling with drug addiction, would not date anyone who had that problem in common with me, and I still found sober women who were willing to tolerate me.

I don’t know. I just hope that if you feel hopelessly alone and you read this comment, it will give you some hope.

Edit:

Don’t just downvote. Discuss it you bitter twat lol. Seriously. I’d like to see your perspective on the matter.

Pretty standard where I’m from.

If the speed is 55, most people are going 65. Cops won’t mess with you for it unless you give them a reason. You know, having a dead tag, a dead sticker, being black, brake lights are out, something like that.

Yeah, and there are decent ways to do that, which many successful companies and individuals manage to pull off every day.

I have no horse in this race because I don’t use any of this stuff, but I despise the direction everything is going.

Human parasites are never happy with being well fed it seems. They aren’t happy unless they gorge until they get fat and explode, or they’re so greedy they end up killing their host.

I’d boot that fucker from a usb drive and have my own shit on that. Or I’d borrow the video card every evening.

I know they lock them down pretty good, but not so good that they could stop me gaming on it in some way.

Well, my friend, you and I think alike. I came here to say this very thing.

They should’ve drawn the ring.

I miss when it was the default position of everyone online.

Still though, with the whole damn world going online, in places where anonymity is never expected in the first place, I can see the benefit. I used Facebook marketplace once just to be ripped off.

My daughter uses an anonymous Facebook account with the name of a cartoon character, she’d just close the account if they pushed her though.

I never stopped playing Mortal Kombat 1-3. It’s hard to get someone nostalgic for a time they never left haha.

I do have the arcade machine now though. My wife spoils me.

As for my clothes, I’ve smoked, drank, and done way too many drugs to actually look youthful. When old folks tell me that I look younger than I am, I tell them it’s because I’m wearing the same clothes I bought 20 years ago and I look like a college age millennial because of that, and their sense of time is off.

So safe. So glad staying at home worked.

I wish I hadn’t to be honest with you. I wish I could have carried on relating to my family, ignorant of the problems of this world.

I miss believing in ghosts. I miss the comfort I got praying as I walked through a dark room. I miss the live music at church a few times a week, the big tent revivals, believing I was seeing actual miracles when faith healers called someone up.

I miss that short window in life when the only things that I knew related directly to me and my community.

I don’t miss any of it enough to actually, honestly go back even if I could, but damn.

I’m just worked up because a stray cat got hit by a car. There’s something wrong with me, I swear haha. Sorry for this.

5 of the idiots that didn’t vote seen your comment and must have had their feelings hurt.

Good.

:p Some folks want that dick anyway haha, so don’t worry about it.
