  • It’s the barren concrete taking up 3/4 of the view with a hint of lawn behind more concrete. Europe was built before modern vehicles and has narrower streets with more residential in between businesses and has some cobblestone and what not. USA was built around railways and highways so everyone has a car and walking was an afterthought.

    Edit: additionally ever wonder why Europeans say how far a distance is in kilometers and Americans answer with “it’s about 25 minutes”? It’s partially that reason plus the physical distance is larger (some states are larger than countries) so miles mean less to us than knowing the time, post logistics.








  • It’s always so weird because it’s not like you can go to your primary doctor and say “I want X drug” right? Like, if there was a reason to give you a drug for something the doctor would have prescribed it. Also not ask you how you felt about them, just that here is X drug for your Y problem. If that doesn’t work we try Z.

    Or do people actually swap doctors over and over for months until they get one who says “ok dude”?

    If Republicans demonize democrats and project their own crimes for half a century without facts then it’s honestly time to stop crying wolf and do some things that they’re getting accused of. Why does a red name get a pass? If it isn’t both sides but everyone thinks it is anyway then there is no reason to not do bad stuff. Trump has proven that you will get rewarded for being the worst human possible and more. He is apparently the ideal American so to not lie cheat and steal is un-American. If Biden helps his son once in the face of 30+ terrible felonies president trump did himself, not including his cronies, then so be it. I really hope Biden breaks everyone’s brain about pardons because it will bring every other scummy pardon into question too from other presidents.

    I can’t stand this “not a good look” talk when democrats have to basically be squeaky cleak that they can’t even own a peanut farm or swear and yet 10 years into the “grab them by the pussy” guy who makes fun of disabled people, women, calls everyone names including his own party… Nobody bats an eyelash. I don’t care if Joe Biden lied for his son at this point, Donald pardoned and will continue to pardon dozens of family and staff and insurrectionists. It’s ok for Trump to lie about not knowing project 2025 and then immediately hire everyone involved with it days later… But Biden can’t lie once. Got it.


  • I just want to reiterate that each response you’ve given is dismissive and also you’re putting yourself down. Each comment. So it’s okay to focus on your self esteem first by breaking the cyclical issue of (I don’t have hobbies, therefore I am lame. I am lame because I have no hobbies) and you have to get uncomfortable and force yourself to do something new or stop doing something you think is problematic. The hard part isn’t doing that though, the hard part is doing that again and again. The first week you’ll be reminding yourself a lot but over the first month or two you will simply be someone who does x thing.

    Clean your room. Make your bed. Every day. Seriously it’s a easy way to physically and visually start seeing a daily change that makes a difference. Maybe it’s lame or pointless but it’s definitely progress when you’re stuck in a rut.


  • Calling bull on your pity party. I met my wife because she messaged me online about smash bros. If you do anything besides eating pooping and sleeping then you will have an interest. If not then you should do anything besides eating pooping and sleeping and seeing if you had a good time. Here’s a start… You know what you DON’T like right? So do opposites. If you hate watching TV then read a book. If you hate computers then pick up woodworking. I’m not your dad and can’t tell you what to do, but I guarantee you know what you don’t want to do. Start there.


  • Woe is me, you’re not not attractive because of your financial status, you’re not attractive because when you put others on a pedestal they have no choice but to look down on you.

    If you can’t be comfortable or happy by yourself than you can’t go out of your way for others. Like how on an airplane you put your oxygen mask on before helping others put their mask on.

    I had a bad bout of depression and opted to remove myself from social situations instead during my 20s. Once you realize that if other people have a problem with your problems more than you have with your own problems, that’s their issue…it is an epiphany. Even absolutely successful people have endless haters, just put on horse blinders and tell yourself “fuck it” and just do what makes you happy.

    You’ll bump into people who want to hang out as you keep doing activities for yourself. If you like hiking or drawing, hike and draw. If you like running go run. I guarantee the people also doing those things have something to talk about to open the Pandoras box of conversation.

    Don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm. Good luck, it’s a process. Gotta learn how to respect yourself the same or more than you want to have others like you.




  • Elon also is heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)… I bet they will substitute crypto for cash and pump/dump the nation. Honest opinion? Buy doge coin and bitcoin because inflation will skyrocket if Trump gets to print dollars and slap 100% tarrifs on food and Chinese imports (aka all products you buy). People will park their money in transient currencies and hard assets like houses and watch trump lower interest rates to refinance his real estate and his buddies too. Refinance your home, borrow cash and buy crypto, ride that wave before it burns down.
