Socializing is exhausting. I usually have a couple of people besides my girlfriend that I chat with, and it’s more than enough for me.

I understand that socializing is an important aspect of life. I’m certain there’s all sorts of papers detailing the benefits of it, but I do also think it’s important to learn to be comfortable spending time by yourself.

Reddit? Nah that’s literally every platform.

I love my void. I love all the cats I take care of obviously, but my but void is precious. I love hearing him speak and I adore every expression he makes. He just always puts a smile on my face. Cats really are the best.

A bit of an exaggeration but a lot of people will never understand that some people do not have much of a social battery left at the end of the day.

I have had so many people including rl friends, exs, or people I used to play online games with fail to understand that I don’t have that much energy in the evenings or even on the weekends sometimes. There’s dealing with my boss, dealing with my coworkers, dealing with people from other firms. Sometimes through teams, sometimes through the phone, sometimes in person.

He’s the richest man in the world who has untold influence over the most powerful office in the world. It’s hard to ignore him at this point sadly. Ignoring the problem isn’t going to make it go away.

Clearly they’re just practicing their science, trying to pay homage to Hennig Brand.

Hard to say. Her public attitude towards a lot of issues is fantastic but she comes from money. She wouldn’t be able to pursue her personal interests and campaigns without the wealth she has.

I mean good but is no one worried about the kid not having any issues with taking someone’s life? Maybe I’m missing out on some extra pieces of info, but it is a bit concerning even if it is an intruder.

In how many universes has Lex been president? I remember as a kid there was one where he won the presidency and had the flash executed. Superman responds by going full authoritarian and executing him in return.

Essentially just be a renaissance man. It’s much easier to do when you’re younger. I could’ve ticked off over half the list 10 years ago, but now it’s just reading, cooking and writing. I don’t have the time or energy for much outside of work these days.

Easy. Anywhere the white cells touch will form a curve if you’re not looking at them directly.

The whales wouldn’t complain about this one anyways. When this mount was available in-game on the auction house it was probably around 5x the price in USD assuming you bought wow tokens.

Not surprising. Israel had the tech to bug everyones phones.

The Israeli NSO group which is a day 1 hacks group developed the Pegasus spyware and found lots of creative ways to get it on peoples phones. They also sold it later on to just about anyone who was willing to pay.

After being a few months away from being married and seeing it all fall apart I’ve realized that I don’t ever want to be married.

Doesn’t mean I don’t want a long term relationship but I don’t want to tie the knot and tangle up my life like that ever again. If we had gotten married then divorced my ex would have ruined me. I was too soft at that time and I would have let her use me as a doormat on the way out. I know better now but I still don’t want to deal with those complications.

Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way.

This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.

You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

I really don’t think that this was necessary.

From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,

Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

And yes, out of context I thought it was a bit extreme. I don’t necessarily agree with what the first person in the image said although that’s a complex topic that deserves a much lengthier discussion, but just randomly having someone tell them that they’re a creep who deserves to be tased is fairly extreme without any additional context. Keep in mind, I have no idea who the individual is or what they’ve done.

Thank you. This really is just asking to pour gasoline on the fire.

I don’t think this is something that will benefit us in the long term, regardless of how funny it is right now.

Sure, if they’re abandoned.

The issue is that we have so, so many stray cats. So, so many cats left in shelters. We do not need people to breed more cats just so people can have their very expensive and very specifically bred designer furbaby. We need people to take care of the ones that already exist and are already struggling.

If only more people adopted in general instead of spending money on designer pets.
