How do I meet people in real life? I’m tired of flipping through ugly dudes

lamenting how hard it is to have casual sex with women as a woman. I mean duh, most women seem to be less and less down for this type of thing these days and I don’t blame them. I don’t blame them for not wanting to be objectified, even by another woman. But i’m a degenerate hedonist so it’s been a little bit disappointing, especially in a city full of hot people. the dating app scene really does suck, it’s no better for same sex attracted women.

In my country we don’t have jaywalking laws we must simply cross the road within 30m of a designated crossing or else there is a fine

In my country we don’t “press charges” the police simply ask if you want to cooperate with the investigation.

Here's the link, I wouldn't make you look it up yourself xoxoxoxo. It's classic corny /r/rsp dogshit to react so something that's sort of terrifying with a smug "wow, this sucks" -- but wow, this sucks.

This brand of fascism is intrinsically linked to people who think that video games are real life. Nothing positive or desirable for Palantir will come from posting this; there's a reason that Lockheed doesn't make theater-kid monologues on its socials. Of course this is all terrifying, we are living under the rule of people who want nothing but our eternal subjugation, blah blah blah. But the people in power have chuunibyou delusions about themselves. It's unbearable.

I run ads on TikTok and Meta. Just turned on one for $250/day (not much for my company) and now my inbox is flooded with them screenshotting the post and telling me my creatives are “very bad”… the campaign is actually doing pretty well…

The only social media I use is Instagram and reddit, but I decided to make a twitter account recently. The 'For you' page literally just feed me political slop, and reading all the stupid tweets and comments, I soon found myself arguing with my own phone. I typically don't even get mad at outrageous takes--I've read similar things on reddit and I'm fine--but I think seeing some of these tweets get as high as 50k likes bothered me in particular.

After an hour I found myself having to log off because I realized it was going to ruin the rest of my day if I continued scrolling. The next day was similar, and I deactivated my account because I thought it was going to be ruinous for my well-being if made it a habit.

I now see how normal people can become unwell by frequent twitter usage; and I don't understand how someone can be a daily twitter user without going insane over the all the nonsense posted. It's just post after post from an algorithm designed to make you hooked through anger.

One of them is exemplified by Leatherman. He was a vagabond wearing a Buffalo Bill leather suit, who would walk the same 365 mile circuit in New England month after month. He always returned to the same towns, and would hit up the general store for sardines and beer in monosyllabic French and grunting. He was tolerated, even beloved, and some towns even excluded him, personally, from anti-vagrancy laws.

The Melville-style gay literary autism is incredible. The sperm chapter where they gayly knead the whale sperm until it's smooth as butter and smells delicious, losing themselves in it and beginning to stroke each other's hands, is basically a CT bit. And the whale taxonomy placed right in the middle of the book is one of the most beautifully autistic things I've ever read. He just abandons the narrative and the plot to describe about 2 dozen types of whales and how to differentiate them. There are many chapters like that. There's one where Melville expounds at length about dual-use animal consumption like eating a whale steak by whale candlelight, or picking the goose meat out of your teeth with a goose quill. I mean wtf.

Today's Herman Melvilles are wasting away in gooner discords and will never produce anything creatively unless it's a Factorio set up. Today's Leatherman is a shut-in furry who mods 19 subreddits. I don't think it's too hysterical to say that the internet caused an autistic cultural genocide. There should be a stronger reaction there, like there was to giving deaf people cochlear implants.

Well well well now we suddenly start caring about beauty and execution and can agree that there's a line in the sand, thus art is not an open system where merely stating intent is enough. A century of anti-intellectualist discourse undone. Duchampbros seething.

I'm going to a town I haven't visited in a while for a show tonight and am looking at restaurants downtown. Most of them score a 4.8 or 4.9. Lowest is a 4.3. All have a decent number of reviews so I know it's not just family and friends gassing them up. This is an unexceptional town of less than 40k people where places called "Takosushi" and "Burgär" are the height of modernity. It's literally the town where people from Frank Underwood's hometown in House of Cards would go for date night.

Obviously no one is appraising these places with big city standards but even with that handicap it seems absurd. Every review is glowing. Every meal was the best meal of their lives. Most of them come from bona fide "local guides" with profile pics so I don't think it's all bots.

When did 5 stars become the default rating for a night out without incident? When 5/5 is the baseline, adequacy and excellence become indistinguishable. Like the RT Tomatometer all these scores can convey is the absence of criticism and not the magnitude of praise. Fortunately I have a keen sixth sense for restaurant quality from spending my childhood in proximity to the industry but I have no idea how people pick a place to eat without that kind of knowledge. Is everyone just throwing darts into the void and hoping for the best?

I strongly realize having any sort of racial preference is weird and strange

And Obviously it depends on individual circumstances and chemistry. I wouldn’t date someone just because they’re Indian. The only Indian woman I have been on a date with was one of the worst dates I’ve had in recent memory.

But I do think I am generally more attracted to Indian women compared to any other race and idk why. I think they’re very pretti lol
