I wouldn’t call my self aromantic by definition. It.more just bitterness from my past. I would like to have a “soulmate” but the pain involved in finding one isn’t worth it to me. So in practice I’m aromantic but there is a desire for companionship. Just not enough of a desire.

Paying more than a few cents for coffee Spending more than $3 a day on food

It’s a spectrum. For example you’re friends who wish they weren’t asexual are valid and are asexual. I do not feel the same way.

I have the ability I don’t have the desire. I actually have children. I’ve also had girlfriends suggest various things like maybe I have low testosterone. Never got checked for low t. It’s not something I’m really interested in fixing. I’d compare it to wanting crack cocaine. You don’t want it now, maybe there is a way to make you want it… Why tho? Seems like an extra complication to life. As for relationships: the ones I’ve had haven’t been great. The ones my friends have don’t seem all that great either.

I’m good. I’ve got my books and no desire for anything more . What is there to fix? Why should I fix it if I’m already fine? Why should I make myself want more than I already have if I’m already happy? You normal people don’t seem all that happy with it, why would I want it? I’m good .

How much time do you spend trying to get sex or a relationship? How much time would you save if you… Didn’t… And you didn’t want it? Why would you want to want something so time consuming.

Edit: what i mean is from my view point people are basically asking “why don’t you try to create this void in your soul then Spend your entire life working on filling it… Mostly unsuccessfully, and failed attempts will be very very painful, but one day you MIGHT fill the void and you’ll be happy because that void is now filled!”

Why the fuck would I want that. It sounds awful. You guys go right ahead tho. I’m not judging. I’m just say “nah man I’m good”

There’s a franchise here called Krispy Krunchy Chicken

Every time I see the sign I think of the one guy in the marketing team who was like “let’s go ahead and spell chicken the normal way”

And the team was like "but it makes us different. See we are spelling them with a K. We cant stop that theme at Chicken "

And he responded "we really need to stop that theme at Chicken. Just trust me on this one "

That was alot of fancy words. I have no choice but to agree. I’m not entirely sure if you are on my side or not but I know argument will be pointless

Ehhhhh. I get why. But no.

My grandfather never once spoke about the war. His joke in the nursing home was funny . That joke was still different than this joke.

He didn’t say he’d enjoy it, he didn’t say he was okay with it. He said he can do and he’s done it before.

I wasn’t in WW2 obviously. I will.comoare it to growing up on a farm. I had to kill starving stray dogs people dropped off in the country side.

I can do it. I can kill a dog. I have killed plenty of dogs. I don’t enjoy killing dogs, I’m okay with killing dogs. I can do it.

My grandfather could kill people. Those people I assume were mostly Nazis during the war. He never mentioned random roadside murders. He could kill Nazis. He had killed Nazis before. He didn’t say he was okay with killing Nazis. You shouldn’t be okay taking a life even if it had to be done.

I was doing the starving dogs a favor… I was never okay with it tho. It should never be fun to take a life, even if you have to. It should never be okay.

Going to try to best “bible”

… And so it was, as it had been told The prophet had been destroyed The people came, as they were, to a place that was foretold And as they came, as they were told, the people did give thanks to the prophet.

And as the people came to give thanks they did also so bring forth offering to that place and the offering was considered fair and good.

Behold that those people did much rejoice at the place that was foretold

We had to pull my grandfather from the nursing home (God rest him. Left is at 104)

We had to pull him because he kept telling the younger residents “I killed the Nazis once I can kill you again”

Hell of a man. Side note he’s also part of the reason rabies isn’t a big thing in America. He was a chemist for the board of health. Helped to deploy a vaccine that could be put into bait for wild animals to eat.

Another side not: my dad was a trump supporter, my grandad was too old to go vote. My dad used his vote to vote democrat on his behalf . Purely out of respect for my mother’s dad.

Hell of a man.

Completely agree. High five!!! Oh shit. Shit shit shit I forgot How tall I am.

Just a joke. Not defending just a joke. That little weasel doesn’t even have the balls to be an actual Nazi. Nazis are bad but He’s pretending to be a Nazi and denying it. That’s… Somehow… Worse. “Say what you want about the tenets of Nazis, atleast it’s an ethos”

The fem-cel community has already accepted me even though I’m a cis straight white guy who’s asexual (so voluntarily celibate) but I’m happy I can now finally check one box and accept myself as a femcel.

The same thing i ask for when anyone travels anywhere.

Bring me back some ice cream.

Good luck on this challenge I’ve issued you.

God damn they even stole the damn comment. Can’t have nothing

I disagree. I understand they are vague, I understand that is purposeful so they can prosecute how they chose.

I still argue it’s freedom of speech and never illegal.

Again let’s use the example of a hypothetical famous or political person. If they were to haphazardly suggest people should invade a federal building. I would say that was irresponsible, foolish, and it’s fine to judge someone for doing such a thing. I wouldn’t call it illegal to mention you like violence to happen.

However if they were to add things to the statement like “on this day” or “you have to because the sky is green” I’d say there are legal implications for coordination or manipulation with false facts… Saying you want something to happen shouldn’t be illegal on its own.

Jokes aside I do understand there is a line between freedom of speech and causing a crime.

“Someone should hurt bob boberson” I feel is okay

“On Tuesday we are going hurt bob boberson because if we don’t hell hurt you” thats not as okay. That’s a plan, that’s spreading lies

"I encourage violence "

Not illegal to say that at all.

If you specify a person it’ll get flagged faster. If you mention certain people you might get a visit for the secret service. Still not illegal to say but it’s often treated like it is.

We have gender neutral bathrooms. They aren’t called exactly that but I get complaints from people in red hats quite often.

I’m always like “dude (it’s always a guy) we have two single person bathrooms. Why do we need to label them? Just pick a toilet and do your thing”

I had a childhood friend but I never understood what happened until I was an adult.

We lived in the country about half a mile to a mile away from each other. We hung out all the time. Then she stopped walking to my house but I kept walking to hers.

She went bald and I didn’t think much of it. Soon after that her parents told me she couldn’t come out and play when I walked over. I eventually stopped walking over and her family moved.

I don’t know if she died or not but I remember not understanding why her parents didn’t want her to play with me anymore.

One day as an adult I was talking with some people about childhood friends and I started to tell a story about one girls shitty parents who wouldn’t let her play anymore… Then it hit. Oh. She couldn’t walk to my house anymore, she couldn’t play anymore, then they were gone.

The comment summoned a demon but the joke in the episode was pretty funny. Hank had trouble opening the can of wd-40 so he pulled out a smaller can and sprayed the bigger can. It was a funny moment.

Tax return filings in the US. There are free options provided by the paid companies… So that they can prevent real changes.

Kinda like pharmaceutical companies when the public demands cheaper prices. The pharmaceutical companies fight back with “what if instead of that we set up some programs that people can use for cheaper medicine! Win win! Then you don’t have to make any real changes that might hurt us?”

Same with taxes. The accounting software companies and advisors companies said “wait hold on, you don’t need to make taxes simpler and tank our business. Keep them complicated and well offer free alternatives that are just as easy as our paid services that people can pick if they don’t want to pay! Win win!”

Which obviously I think is a crap solution. However if you are paying for someone to do your taxes you should stop. There are a lot of easy free services out there that make it pretty much effortless. They are just as good as the paid services now.

I did. He said he was an Aries and alot of people can’t handle his honesty. I knew from there he would not be changing.
