Oh yeah I know, I wasn’t thinking about dating. I’m hideous. I just want to meet someone who doesn’t loathe me. I think it would be nice

ETA I do think being straight is easier even if dating is hard. None of the straight people I know have families trying to cast demons out of them, none of them make friends only to later hear them talking about how their demographic are secretly trying to corrupt America and kill the Jewish people, et cetera.

New job on the way, I should be happy, but I feel insanely depressed.

I wish I didn’t live over an hour away from the gay nightlife. I wake up at 5 and everything starts after I’ve been awake for 16 hours. I’m too sleepy and anemic to make the drive.

I had to see my family and listen to them talk about how jealous they are that I’m forced to live in such a “quaint” backwater shithole even though I’ve told them I hate it. It must be soooooo easy to be straight. I have to jump through hoops to meet someone who doesn’t loathe me, and they’re all jealous.

Nah. I’m not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I’m here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.

If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that’d be nice. But the “good bot”/“bad bot” voting system just became its own form of spam.

That’s awesome, I’m glad you have people you can depend on.

If I’m being honest, my family is more like an anchor. None of them ever learned to help themselves and that still expect me to do it. I’m just going to try to change the part of my personality that wants a social life.

Rough as usual. Overworked, underappreciated. I have a driving test coming up for a new job, but my current job won’t give me the day off, and I don’t want to quit until I’ve passed that test. I’ll work it out, it’s just stressing me out.

Multiple people online and in person have been unpleasant dicks to me when I honestly wasn’t trying to do anything wrong and it kind of depresses me. I want a social life but I hate people.

I mean, I assume?

I found the bot promoted in a different Telegram channel dedicated to making and sharing AI-generated nonconsensual pornography which has about 50,000 members.

This isn’t thought policing… First off, these are actions, but second, no one’s policing it.

Removed by mod

People still don’t know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, “isn’t it mostly white supremacists?”

Kind of, and it was a good way to keep trolls and spammers out of sensitive communities, but unfortunately with bots and astroturfing existing nowadays, karma incentives terrible behavior.

I usually feel this way, but I was at a pizza place a, while back, and the cheese on the cheese pizza just looked so much gooier than on the others… I still wonder how much better my life would be if I’d had the gooey cheese instead of the goo-less supreme…

I was a beta reader once and the guy rejected all my alterations where I fixed the quote punctuation. So maybe?

I’m with your girlfriend. I don’t find pineapple on pizza disgusting, but for some reason it just doesn’t gel for me. Same with sausage and jam on a biscuit… One or the other, please!

But anchovies on pizza… yessssss. Get them salty, grimy fuckers in there.

Never found the right balance. 🤷 I said “fuck it” anyway, because there’s a few reasons being less feminine is more comfortable for me. I like lifting weights but hate a sweaty scalp, so bye bye hair. I like the fit of men’s shirts more. And I realized that there’s a lot clothes and accessories that I find pretty to look at, but I don’t really get anything from wearing them.

It sucks because customers and family both make rude comments, but at least my clothes are comfy.

Too feminine: weak, controllable

Not feminine at all: ugly troll, clearly failed at being feminine and this is just cope

Oh shit, I hope you’re doing okay these days!

Mine are occasionally sore, but most of the time they’re just tender to the touch. They are pretty hard, too 😬

Thanks. I’m just getting discouraged because conversations fizzle out eventually, or things go well at first but then they stop texting back. It takes so long to get to know people and it feels like it usually goes nowhere even when I think they’re really cool.

Rough. Can’t find any jobs in my town besides factories and trucking, so I guess I’m probably gonna go work in a factory.

Lymph nodes been swollen for three days and I can’t get to a doctor for nine more days, so that’s frustrating.

I feel lonely and detached all the time. I miss when my friends and I were close. I’ve tried meeting new people but it’s not the same.

If I’m not too tired after work tomorrow I’m planning a solo trip, just for the evening. There’s a park an hour away where I’ve heard you can see the stars, so maybe I’ll hit the local shops and grab an ice cream or something and wait til sundown. Maybe that’ll cheer me up.

Never saw them in person, but man, I wanted a pair as a kid. I wanted to roll around at the speed of sound.

I think there is such a thing as lazy, but it’s when you push your responsibilities off onto another person solely because you can get away with it. The ex who leaves the dishes dirty and tells you, “I don’t know, they just come better when you wash them”, for instance.

I’m assuming CGI or something. They don’t immediately read as AI to me. I don’t see any torn/fuzzy edges, and while the shape of the bookshelf is obviously whimsical, it’s not the sort of nonsense perspective I associate with AI.

I could be wrong of course, I just don’t see the usual tells.
