Streaming is just cable
- Comment on Shadow Of The Erdtree's Dancing Lion boss is genuinely just two dudes in a lion suit 1 week ago:
Awww, kinda sorry to see the kimono parted here, I liked thinking it was some half human half beast monstrosity from beyond this world that happened to have 8 limbs in addition to a lion head.
Still, great boss fight and wonderful design and music.
- Comment on How come there aren't any moral geniuses? 1 month ago:
Aren’t those subjective things? It’s easier to measure something like chess skill or whether or not someone can do complex math, but harder to quantify someone’s morality.
- Comment on Red Lobster could file for bankruptcy this month following the closure of 50+ stores: WSJ 1 month ago:
All the food is crap besides the cheese biscuits which are far better made at home these days anyway. If you wanted a good experience at a Red Lobster, you’re about 30 years late.
- Comment on Men over 30, what do you keep in your bedside nightstand? 1 month ago:
Condoms, a magic wand, lube, cock ring, extra cables for charging various devices, and a knife the seller named “Praxis” like the moon from Undiscovered Country
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive Is Closing The Studios Behind Rollerdrome And Kerbal Space Program 2 1 month ago:
A damn shame to see KSP2 end like this. I know it had a rocky start, but I was hopeful it would recover and it looked like the team was slowly getting there.
- Comment on Samsung shifts executives to six-day workweeks to “inject a sense of crisis” 2 months ago:
Yeah but they’re executives. Fuck em.
- Comment on Finance guru Dave Ramsey slams 'awful' Gen Zers and millennials who live with their parents: 'They suck. They can't buy a house because they don't work' 2 months ago:
I just signed a new lease on a single family home that went for $3,400 in 2020 and $4,100 in 2024, David.
- Comment on 1,500-year-old burial of lynx with 4 dogs stacked on it puzzles archaeologists 2 months ago:
The lynx tripped into a hole and the 4 dogs chasing it comically tripped in the exact same exaggerated manner, one after another.
- Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine? 2 months ago:
I think it depends on what you’re going to use the plastic component that were sullied for.
Food Tupperware? You’re SOL. It’s porous and now contaminated. A plastic computer component? Disinfect it with diluted bleach.
I’m not sure heating mouse urine is a good idea, it certainly won’t smell pleasant, I can tell you that.
- Comment on Magnitude 4.7 earthquake strikes New York, New Jersey region 2 months ago:
Earthquake right before an eclipse is fine right?
- Comment on Threshold 3 months ago:
I need to get me a uniform with cut off sleeves fuck that’s hot
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
It really is one of the best games of the year for sure
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Yeah you already said that.
It’s not true, it’s pretty selective reading on your part, but you did say it
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Why? I doubt you influenced any part of British colonialism, they aren’t throwing hatred at you personally.
Colonialism is bad and should be regarded with hatred. Are you internalizing that? You’re not the British empire, you don’t gotta do that to yourself
- Comment on How do I brew this brick of tea? 4 months ago:
A tea pot with an infuser should work just as well, the commenter below mine details the gongfu brewing method a little more than I did, and that’s mostly what you’re trying to do with the gai wan, the pot itself just lends itself to that method, but the tea pot with infuser will work similarly.
- Comment on How do I brew this brick of tea? 4 months ago:
I think this is white tea, so you may want to try brewing it at a lower temperature, around 180°F, for a few minutes.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
Personally, I like to use the term lllllladies with plenty of L’s so they know I’m looking for love.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
I think men can often get stuck in ruts where they become their own worst enemies, especially in dating. They have a plethora of media telling them half truths and skewed perspectives that create a feedback loop of negativity and self-fulfilling prophecy.
Even if OP can’t escape that today and instead posted this to hear answers that affirm this defeatist ideology, other readers may benefit the good advice others have put in this thread.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
Lmao, buddy…
One day I hope you find the confidence you need to love yourself and you can look back on these foolish times with laughter and pride in your growth.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
That’s great advice.
For what it’s worth, I get my soaps and colognes from Barrister & Mann. Creating a signature scent can be a lotta fun and I get a lot of compliments on the ones I wear.
Being a well rounded person is also immeasurably good advice. If you want people to be interested in you, you need to be interesting
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
How do you intend to verify that? What benefit could I possibly have to lie to you about this?
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
Absolutely I can but can you tell me what value there is in me naming people in my life who you’ve never met? The attitude your carrying is just going to tell you that I’m lying no matter what.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
You’re not finding them because of your attitude.
There are PLENTY of women who will happily hook up with, date and love short men. I’ve personally met more than I can count.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
Naw dude, it’s manufactured and it’s limiting you. You’re not gonna overcome that until you figure out how to destroy the part of you that believes this.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
You need to isolate the person in your head telling you this, take them out back and shoot them dead. This is a defeatist attitude and it’s simply hindering you. Not only that, it’s only superficially true. It doesn’t conform with a wider wealth of personal experiences that myself and many others certainly have.
This. This way of thinking is your biggest enemy.

What do you mean?
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
Self improvement to realize an idealized self is it’s own reward. In doing so, you become more attractive to people in a natural way. It’s not contradictory. Chasing self improvement as a vehicle to love or sex has the pitfall of losing your motivation for self improvement when you suffer rejection, but rejection is normal, common, and not as big a deal as it can sometimes feel.

Seconding good grooming habits and fashion. You don’t have to go crazy spending on this, just stuff that looks nice that fits you well.
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 4 months ago:
Looks and height aren’t as big factors as you think. Carry yourself with confidence (fake it til you make it if ya gotta) and you’ll find a lot more success. Also, rejection isn’t life ending. No Means Next. Don’t let it destroy you.
