Make it to a month, and it will be come a new habit. After three months of dedication, you’ll probably be able to look at yourself in the mirror and see real changes.

Thai people tend to have names that mean things like that.

Common ones I’ve seen:

Pang = bread Namsom = orange juice Namphueng = honey (bee water) Namfon = rain water Somporn = auspicious orange Somwan = sweet orange

I didn’t realize that Purism phones don’t have internationally compatible modems. As someone who travels a lot, that’s unfortunately a dealbreaker.

In my social circles, people have moved from Facebook to Instagram and WhatsApp. To be honest, it’s a different UI but the same algorithmic overlords.

The thing with Facebook/Meta is that it’s not just one thing. It’s a lot of different things under one umbrella. In general, the replacement for Meta is the Fediverse. But you need to be specific about which features you want to replace.

For long form posts, I’ve set up my own blog using Ghost. Ghost also has passable Fediverse support now, though it’s still missing a lot of features.

The world has changed, but this particular piece of advice is timeless. I approach people I want to talk to in real life every day, multiple times a day. No one is ever offended by it, literally ever. The reason women get offended over men approaching is because they do this thing where they approach the woman as an object, leading with their sexual desire, as if the woman is obligated to satisfy them simply because the man feels attracted. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Listen, men, there’s nothing wrong with being sexually attracted to a woman. But approach her as a human being first. Be considerate of how she’s feeling, pay attention to her boundaries, and be respectful. Of course, at some point, you need to express your interest, and it’s better to be transparent about that rather than creepy. If you are motivated by sexual interest, her intuition will tell her that long before you think it will, so no sense in hiding it. But as a general rule, never outpace the level of reciprocation she’s given you.

That means, don’t walk up to a stranger who isn’t making eye contact with you and tell her you want to fuck her. Don’t even ask for her number. First, make eye contact. If she makes eye contact back, you can proceed to the next step. Say hi. If she says hi back, you can introduce yourself. If she reciprocates by introducing herself, you can ask a question or tell her something. After you’ve had a conversation, you can ask for her number, or suggest a date. But take it one step at a time. If you take two steps ahead and she hasn’t reciprocated, that’s when you’re gonna get into trouble. If she stops reciprocating, stop escalating. If she expresses a boundary or discomfort, thank her for letting you know, and back off.

TLDR; approach! But slow the fuck down and pay attention to if she’s comfortable and reciprocating. Respect her boundaries. You honestly won’t go wrong with that approach.

I’ve approached about 800 women a year, for the past 4 years and the worst thing that’s happened is that my ego got a little bit hurt a few times when they said no thank you. Zero drama, zero anger, zero cancellation. And I’m just an average looking ginger dude.

chatting someone up is out of the question for me

Some basic life advice for you: focus on things you can control, not on things you can’t. Approach the people you want to interact with. That’s completely under your control. You can’t really control whether other people approach you. Spending your effort on that is a waste.

As a Hungarian, I approve.

I’m sure that the “consent” is part of the terms and conditions when you sign up for a line on a family plan. Not that it’s genuinely informed consent, or that people know what they agreed to, but technically…

I’d sacrifice social media algorithms. Delete them all.

Sometimes when I’m working with particularly frustrating coworkers, my responses can tend to be overly sharp and taken in a negative tone even though I don’t use any unprofessional words. I often ask an LLM to reword my messages to prevent coming across as an impatient dick. Perhaps that’s what’s happening here. Is there any reason to believe that your coworkers may be frustrated with you?

What?! Talk?! To another human being?! In real life?! Madness!

Very, very carefully and low profile. The second someone notices an AI glitch, people start asking questions and your cover is blown. Not to mention if you target rich people with blackmail they know is fake, they’re gonna come after you pretty quick.

Stoner cheesecakes: a thin wheat cracker, with a slice of white cheddar, a drop of honey, and a chocolate chip. Top it off with some Frank’s Red Hot.

Why does “productivity” need to be the end? I like some degree of randomness because it makes my life more interesting and enjoyable. In a way, that can make me more productive if I feel more inspired or motivated by it. But I do it because I like it: taking a random road on my daily commute, talking to a random person and seeing what happens, trying a random new restaurant, etc. I have a highly random life with very little routine or predictability.

Find a therapist. Online therapy can be affordable and accessible.

You might want to look up “sexual imprinting”. Of course our early sexual experiences impact what turns us on, and who we are attracted to can change over time.

It’s not human nature to fuck with children.

It doesn’t sound like you have. You’re still looking for a way out.

You got beat up because you’re a fucking pedophile who has harmed children. Learn your fucking lesson.

I wonder why you got beat /s
