What year is it

What? What does this comment mean? Am I out of the loop with something?

😳😳😳

This is not related to your convo, but I love your username

Unfortunately I am not really meant for the dating world. I have absolutely never had a libido, could never feel sexual pleasure, have extreme social anxiety, and am also too mentally unstable for people to be dealing with me all of the time. Growing up was sure odd to see people start pairing up with one another begining in my pre-teen years. At that time in my life I was too busy chanting insult words repeatedly to myself walking around the halls at school to really speak to other people too much.

Here I am as a full fledged adult now in my 30s. At least I’ve managed to stay employed so far with a decent career. But I’ve been causing issues at my job due to my instability that may threaten that.

But dating has never been in the cards for me. I’ve never really done it and will definitely die alone. It’s weird because at least a part of me is still human and still needs human connection.

sigh

Idk. Good luck out there, OP. What flavor of issues are causing you to struggle with it?

That doesn’t look anything like a pizza. More a taco before it is closed.

I’m generally pretty good at it when I am comfortable with someone. But when I am anxious or sad I cannot for the life of me make eye contact with anyone.

And Lisa’s weird smeary pearl necklace/drool entity.

I mean, I know it’s entirely opposite to the accepted advice…but when I can’t sleep, I actually find it helpful to go on my phone.

Scrolling social media doesn’t help though. What helps is putting on long form videos on YouTube that aren’t overly engaging. It helps if you’ve seen them before too. If my thoughts are racing, having something else to focus on (but not too focused) helps a ton.

Sitting in the dark without a mild stimulus doesn’t help, despite what the common advice given seems to be.

I know you said you can’t have sound, but what about headphones?

Also interesting to me that India surpassed China’s population. I know that their growth rate was significantly higher, but I thought they were still a ways off from surpassing them. With the birth rates a lot higher in India than China, I wonder how much larger their population will grow and what it will mean for global culture and communications.

I know, right? One hot dog a day sounds like excess junk food consumption to me, not minimal consumption. These people clearly already do not have a decent diet and probably have other poor lifestyle choices. So it seems disingenuous to say that there is no safe minimum level of processed food consumption when their “minimum” is already excessive.

I get that this stuff increases cancer risk, but so does everything. Enjoying life without being too excessive with anything is what we should all shoot for. Life is a balance.

I’ve heard this before. But the biggest downside of wireless charging for me is I can’t use my device while it’s charging. Wireless chargers in the vast majority of scenarios aren’t even getting rid of wires. You still need to connect the wireless charger to the wall with a cable.

There was a dog I followed on YT who was supposedly named Cumlord. He was fucking adorable but unfortunately I think he passed away.

Weird. I haven’t flown recently. What happens if you get plastic surgery or into an accident or something?

My parents used to warn me that I might end up cracking a tooth on the kernels. I still eat them anyway. Probably gonna regret that one day lol.

If your library is on steam, then there’s nothing to worry about! Works natively on Linux. If your library is on other platforms, I’d honestly think twice about switching full time. Dual booting might be a better option. My library is split amongst multiple platforms and I decided that it wasn’t working well enough for me. Steam games will work great though!

Many distros are easy enough to install and navigate as a newbie. My go to for years now has been Linux Mint! It’s based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian.

Ease of gaming if you don’t have your entire library of games on Steam tbh. If you do, then it’s a no-brainer. If not, then ehh.

Also sometimes Nvidia cards do not play nice in Linux.

As someone who started running last year because it’s supposedly “good for you”, I’m inclined to agree lol

So first of all, I’m with you.

But would that affect waterproofing at all?

Any device with any component that slides/flips/folds/moves is prone to failure simply due to the movement.

Well sure. Nowhere in my comment did I say that the device is meant to be used forever. For me, I don’t mind the compromises for some newer tech. I’m in the position where I can finally get fun tech now. Prior to this, the average length of time I had a phone was 4-5years, but I only had low end models. I really don’t think that compromising with a 3-4 year projected usage time for folding phones is all that odd. It depends on what you want in a device. OP is looking for something new, presumably, hence asking the question.

I agree about the design language of the Pixel tbh. I’ve always found it to be butt ugly compared to a majority of the other phones out there. The camera design is just kind of unpleasant imo. That being said, I’ve been looking into buying an older flagship Pixel to gift to my mom. My research shows that for whatever reason, Pixels are the only phone out there that seem to do well capturing subjects that move a ton (toddlers, pets, etc.). Not sure why most other brands seem to be a blurry mess with the slightest movement.
