But I can also bully them, humiliate them, degrade them, psychologically annihilate them even, and that’s fine, legallly.

It’s not legal in a lot of cases

Why?

It’s very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt

You can punch them, but it’s battery. The same way you can mentally assault them, but that’s harassment.

You should write a post sometime about what you know from the internals of Skype. I would read it.

Lay it out flat and say “yes I’m spending time with my kid.”. Jealousy or not, you don’t have to change your relationship with your kid (unless you want to, but this isn’t a common thing to have to do).

As for the root issue, your partner either needs some hobbies to preoccupy her time, or the three of you can spend time together.

Ignore him, you always have the blessing to explain the fediverse

To be honest, there’s a certain subset of women who love it when guys go full removed. If you are obsessed with cheese, and can talk about cheese with passion in a way to captivate any audience, then don’t hide or downplay it. Literally talk about cheese like you’re a 2am Youtuber and girls will love it.

Currently watching a cringe dating video and I need to yeet a few off my chest:

Guys: For the love of God, ASK HER QUESTIONS. Awkward silence? Ask her about her family. She is asking about you? Ask about her passions. Her last hobbies. Everyone loves talking about themselves. If you like a girl, make her talk and she will like you.

For anybody: See someone cute at school? At the gym? Strike up convo about literally anything - “Oh damn nice shoes, where did you buy them?” - Feed this and later ask for their Insta. Instagram is public enough people will give it out, but private enough you can follow up in DMs later

While dating: Do things to make him/her happy. Don’t expect anything back. Do their chores. Buy them a gift. Take them on a surprise date. Be happy when they’re happy.

I can’t think of a single situation where indiscriminate murder of civilians is helpful

Windows? Gears? Seat? Mirrors?

Something tells me they didn’t ride in a self driving car

I read this post yesterday and I went back to find it to write a response.

First, let me clarity when I give advice, I speak my mind, saying what I would do if I know what I know now but were in your shoes. It isn’t intended to make you feel better, but genuinely a matter of “this is the easiest way to reach my goals”.

First, let’s address the problems you can fix, and ignore the ones you can’t. You say you’re 76 IQ, but to be honest you wrote a more comprehensive post than most people can. In any case, check out this video by a guy who claims to have 70 IQ and how he holds down a job at McDonalds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjDXvXACIEA

Why a job at McDonalds? For a few reasons:

1. You already live with your friend. You’re not about to be homeless. This is the best time to start working.
2. Getting a job means getting experience working. You might not think much of it now, but that’s step 1 to getting a job at a company with a union, or a company that will offer you full time for health insurance
3. Getting a job will preoccupy your time. You can’t quit drugs and alcohol if you’re not distracting yourself with something else
4. A new job means meeting new people and learning new things. You might find another path yourself
5. McDonald’s will let anybody interview and start working. So you can get this job

Second, you need a long-term plan. This is why I mentioned a full time job with a union: it doesn’t matter if it’s an Amazon Warehouse or a Walmart, a union will look out for your best interests. They will give you a livable future and be the backbone you need for support, since it seems you can’t turn to your family for that.

Getting a job at a company with a union is harder, but that’s why you do step 1 first. When you have experience and a reputation working, these doors will always be easier to open up.

Post in the community, shill it in threads

People will mention Gimp, but check out Krita as an alternative to Adobe

96.8!!

I made it one comment past this one before seeing such things

Compared to 5.1x days, it’s much more stable on Arch Linux. I haven’t had issues since 6.2 I think (always on latest)

Oh damn that’s actually something I want

Free RuneScape I shill 2009scape.org but there’s others. I know there’s free WoW, Maplestory, and pretty much every other popular MMO as well

Another reason to play open source remakes instead of the original

I have not, but I’ve done some immigration and have general advice:

Immigration is expensive and very time consuming to get the required documents.

• Figure out how you’re going to get residence, what visa you’ll be on, what visa your kids will be on
• See if you have to enroll in school ahead of time
• Test the job market by applying, interviewing, and getting offers beforehand. Even if you decline them, you don’t want to be surprised
• Make a spreadsheet of needed documentation for each person. Forgetting one thing can screw you up badly on the day you need it
• Do everything above, twice, to make sure you didn’t screw up the first time

Imo immigration is an amazing way to live the only life you have, but make sure you put in the work to make it work. I’ve seen lots of immigrants give up and go back to their home country before putting in the effort to fully realize their dreams, and it’s low-key sad
