  • It’s messy AF

    Guys are afraid of rejection, but also not great at making themselves more appealing candidates. That whole woman chooses the bear thing is real, even if, in general, we’re not worse than the bear.

    From the woman’s standpoint, if they let the guy in and get knocked up, they might end up having to raise the kid and maybe deal with some asshole for 20 years. Statistically, they have more to lose.

    It’s even harder when you’re young because you don’t want someone with kids, or issues, or baggage, but then being uncharismatic and mediocre is seriously underrated baggage.

    We need male boot camps for loneliness with counselors and coaches. Help people work on their empathy, see what the other side sees and figure out how to work toward improvement to the point where they can find what they’re looking for.



  • Also if you don’t like mushrooms because of the texture,

    I think mushrooms get a bad rap. People talk about the dirt they’re in being grown in feces, like it’s any different than every other crop that’s grown. Potatoes are grown up close and personal in soil too and soil isn’t clean :)

    We might find there’s a flavor component like cilantro that some can taste. Or maybe they just don’t like the idea of the grown in soil and hard to clean, or maybe they don’t like that we’re eating the repuductive organs.

    my brother-in-law hates them, but loves my mashed potato dish that loaded down. I just reduce mushrooms, garlic, and onions in butter until they’re about to start to get firm then blitz them to slightly chunky gravy, stir that back into refrigerated looosely smashed potatoes, with some soft butter and a little chicken bone broth. When i’m done the flavor is still there, but it’s a background note to the potato/butter/chicken

    I just want a little subdermal that reads back heart rate, o2, maybe some sembelance of blood pressure, and temperature.

    Could be NFC, doesn’t need to be active all the time. Let us stop SIDS and keep track our own bodies without having to lug around so many medical tools or trying to half-ass read this all through the skin.




  • Plex, but they’re getting big brothery. They do support relay through their own server.

    jellyfin + cloudflare tunnel. Still big brothery, but less, pretty easy and not against their tos

    Syncthing only works because it’s bursty. Once you start trying to run sustained data over it, people will run out of capacity pretty quickly.

    Something could probably be done DHT/Torrent style. All the listeners share in the transfers, but the availability might be dicey.

    For me, it’s Jellyfin + Tailscale. I always connect home and play from my media server and if TS ever gives me any lip, i’ll change over to headscale or just wireguard.

    It’s a self-marketing/preservation thing.

    When the kids are infants, the parents are sleep deprived and miserable at times, we they get such a seretonin boost from the baby factor so they don’t kill them (yay evolution). They advocate for others to have kids because it feels so great.

    When they hit their slightly difficult years, that seretonin boost starts to drop, work/life balance becomes harder, financial hardship starts to hit as they need to feed them more and provide them outside activities. They still take pride in their kids, but need to tell everyone how awesome it is, but they especially need to tell themselves.

    When they hit their teens, they’re now providing adult prices for things. Cars, Insurance. There’s little money left and little disillusion. If they had the kids late in life, their earning potential will end up dropping just as the kids leave home making bucket list plans harder to reach.

    It’s worse in the US because we have shitty work/life balance and almost total lack of public transportation / affordable heathcare.

    The childless fare better and live more comfortably.

    And we wonder why populations are in decline.
