“Treat every computer like you’re in a library and the head librarian is stood behind you with someone in a very plain black suit next to them”

Pretty much another bit of “Don’t put anything personally identifying on the internet, you don’t know who wants that information or why, but you know they’ll be able to take it if they want to” kinda advice. (Thankfully haven’t learned that one the hard way, just heard it and now it’s stuck.)

I’ve got friends that say they can’t tell the difference, who’ve only ever used 60hz

The fym “A neighbourhood”?

More than 80% of gaza has been decimated in the past two years.

I don’t want to come across as a mysogynist or a misanthrope but this “It’s your fault that you’re lonely because you’re a trash human that nobody wants to sleep with” infuriates me, because I get that shit enough from my own head without it coming from outside as well.

I don’t want to just sleep with someone, I want to be able to comfortably enjoy my time with people I like and then maybe meet someone likeminded enough to build a relationship with.

I have a few friends, and spend time with them whenever I can, but 99% of my time is spent working or at home recovering from work.

I know there’s the whole “You have to get out there and socialise.” and “Get a hobby and you’ll meet new people.” But how does a single man even approach people without coming across as weird or creepy?

For obvious reasons I should probably clarify that I’m aware my brain doesn’t work like regular people’s do, and am probably doing the same shit as the old "people online; ‘Having throw pillows makes you part of the bourgeoisie’ / People irl; ‘Hey man how’s it going?’ " tweet, but god damn if it isn’t hard to have the confidence to meet people irl when all you see is things like the ‘bear in a forest’ trope and news stories about violent abusers reinforcing negative self bias.

Who knows. Maybe I just need to throw my nightmare rectangle off a cliff and buy a phone that only does 4 things, text, call, tell the time and play snake.

I don’t know, everything I do could be silly, but it’s normal to me
