It depends on the reasons they’re choosing not to visit them.

Devilishly so, you say? I think I found your problem, you twice-damned bastard. 😝

I do it because I like the physical act of writing itself. I mean I literally just find it enjoyable in and of itself. So, sometimes I journal even if I don’t have anything to write. But, it is helpful to process certain things or just document important events in one’s life. It’s interesting to go back and see what you were thinking and feeling at the time of a major turning point in your life and compare to how you feel now or how you remember that event now.

Some people journal just to record what they did in the day, and this a journal becomes a record of activity. That can be helpful if you’re trying to ingrain yourself in new habits or get rid of old ones.

So, which commandment did you break: using the Lord’s name in vain or bearing false witness?

This, 1000%. Every study I’ve looked at states the current economy makes having children more of a drain than a gain.

LOL, “Western culture is a disease?” Seriously? You label a huge number of the world’s cultures a disease and don’t think for a tenth of a second that you might be generalizing a bit? Painting with too broad a brush?

Man, grow up a bit before you start spouting off such ignorance online.

God.

Right as they’re about to climax, I do my Donald Duck impression.

Bike riding is not a viable alternative for many people with cars.

I have an over-active imagination and music stimulates it. There’s almost no time in which I’m listening to music and not imagining some emotion-stirring scenario in my head.

Definitely Skyrim, across multiple editions and platforms. And I’m proud to say I never sank into the stealth-archer habit. Armored mage FTW muthafucka!

Oh, man, where to start? The tribal nature of humanity is a core problem in our psychology that leads to so many different problems in modern society, it’s difficult to even fathom. We just aren’t evolved to live in a society this large. We’re also grossly myopic and don’t act to fix problems that we know are coming but aren’t right in front of us yet. Then there’s the fact that we have advanced science and yet tons of us still subscribe to religion.

I don’t know if contempt for humanity is right phrase for what I feel, but I definitely consider myself a misanthrope. Disappointment might be more accurate.

I found a dandy lion.

To Trump, these people are “losers” because they’re disabled.

I flirted with the manosphere for a while. I don’t regret it, but I’m aware enough of the public perception that I don’t mention it to most people today. Yes, I’m aware of the irony of announcing it here. I would simply say that it suffers from the over-simplification of groups and ideas that affect all groups today, including feminism. Are there bad elements to it? Absolutely, but even feminists admit it has good points and members. People just tend to submit to basic views of things in general.

We all do. Stereotypes contain kernels of truth, which do define groups to a certain extent. At the same time, no one fits the bill absolutely perfectly. So, it’s all a matter of perspective and standards. Stereotypes provide general rules of thumb that can be just as harmful as they are helpful. Knowing where to stop applying them is the real artistry.

This is garbage. It appeals to a far left constituency while alienating the moderate left people who are just trying to make their small businesses work. There has got to be a compromise line between these two groups. This is not how you win elections.

I agree with your analysis. I hate Popper’s paradox of tolerance though. Not because I disagree with it but because of how it’s used by angry leftists to justify their own hatred. I do think fascists should be executed, but only the ones that truly would kill others for their ideology. Too many people on the left are fine with killing those that merely provide cover for the truly violent by agreeing with their views but not having the conviction to carry them out. ACAB people bother me this way. Patel is a piece of trash. But he’s a worthless piece of it. Let him drink himself to death. Let him be an example to his people.

“Denny Crane.”

You literally make no sense.

Then you’re not listening, and I don’t need to respond.
