I know plenty of people who do have hobbies and all that, and they are plenty losers. Being a loser isn’t about having an empty CV, it’s more of a vibe thing. If you can keep yourself generally clean, have a few neat things you do(you seem to), and can generally keep things together when other people are relying on you then you’re doing great.

The defining traits for losers are people who blame others for all problems(sometimes it really is there fault, but you know what I mean), are generally nasty, and who make people uncomfortable. If someone doesn’t do those things they may or may not be boring, but they won’t be a loser.

My phone still fits a cupholder but otherwise yea I get what you mean. My hands are bigger than most people’s whole face and yet I still got stretch or fully two-hand the device? And what the hell are normal people supposed to do?! The vast majority has hands significantly smaller so they’re just always aboard the struggle bus?

I get what you mean, the idea I think is that this should be planner(job) not planner(needs a plan). If the latter, I totally get you, though sometimes it’s still healthy to be surprised every so often.

That’s not what they mean. They mean the friend who’s always making all the plans sometimes needs other people in the group to take some initiative.

Less and less so, and they’re usually lacking in features. I want a good phone with a reasonable screen size, not a phone that got worse for no reason other than it got smaller.

I don’t want a big screen. My hands are bigger than nearly every other person’s I’ve seen this far and I yearn for an edge-to-edge iPhone 5. My friend has all his old phones and I held it not long ago and was like “yes, this.”

Big screens are just heavy as fuck and are too easy to look at for what a goddamn phone is. I had a 3GS once and it was fine, no one died, and now a regular phone is what was once called a “Plus” or a “Max” or whatever else.

Are you actively trying not to understand? There are clear commonalities between all of those things and their mechanisms and while it’s not spelled out for you it’s only a small distance away to get to that.

That one’s on you. They’re saying that your brain can basically override you and, to some degree, reality. It’s the reason you don’t see your nose, or clocks take a lot longer to run down a second the first time you glance over. Pain isn’t actually related to damage, and you can change your whole mood by shooting some straight lemon juice. Our bodies, behind the scenes, are doing crazy shit that our conscious mind has no business knowing about.

Bro, if you think France is going to get an emperor again you’re gunna wanna take a breather before making comments. They are protesting a government that needs to be reminded to serve its people, but until they start murdering politicians and replacing them with their own people we’re just not going to see their democracy completely wiped out.

History rhymes, absolutely, and I would be a fool to ignore possible parallels, but this just is not the same thing.

I love when people act like the alternative to capitalism is zero private business and full communism. It’s like, no, the thing before the -ism is simply the thing it centers. Capitalism, as you say, centers capital but after that it can take several forms, all of which suck major ass as they reward nearly any behaviour which makes more money. Even objectively awful shit can just be paid off, it’s insane.

The problem is that, despite people swearing they never had any other choice, there has always been many instances of good options that go unchosen while the population fights over voting for turbo-evil vs naturally-aspirated-evil.

Here in Canada we have three main parties and people will do ANYTHING to justify why they cannot vote progressive and must vote for the centrist/conservative party because otherwise the conservative-conservatives might get power. Now we have a banker steam-rolling our people and our environment for free.

Don’t forget that maintenance is super cheap AND most people, with only the most basic tools, can do the work in their living room or even just on a sidewalk. And if I don’t get it right and the brakes don’t work perfectly I probably won’t fuckin’ die.

Hi, car owner here. I do all the work myself and it requires a fair bit of knowledge, expensive tools, space, and a childhood where I was never told I couldn’t do that work if I was thoughtful about it. That’s a high fuckin’ bar and requires a whole lot of privilege-oh there it is, too many people with privilege like to shit on those without and most of North America has dogshit for public transit or bike infrastructure and the “freedom of movement” with a car is all there but heavily artificial. Thanks auto industry and their lobbyists.
