Ok so you’ve had a lot of people talk about how your friend isn’t the same person anymore and you’re probably going to have to end it, so I’ll address the other underlying fear here.

You can and will make new friends and won’t be lonely.

The best advice I can give for making friends is going to things where it’s a large social event that has a shared interest. Conventions for whatever nerd stuff you’re into are great for this. Historical reenactment groups, anime, comics, whatever. When you’re at a place like this, you already have an in with people because you’re into the same thing as everyone else there and can talk to them about it.

Getting interested in other people always makes you more friends than trying to get them interested in you.

I’ve made more and longer friends in my 30s than I did in any other phase of my life. You seem like an empathetic and caring person, and kindness can get you a lot of friends out there. You’ve got this!

AI?

Guessed A then looked in the comments and that looked to be the best option so now I’m gonna roll some dice to see if I got released or not

Edit: aw beans

I’d imagine that the ghosts who ditched their unfinished business to explore the world beyond would be doing that exploring in a world beyond so we wouldn’t see them or anything.

I think you really don’t know what a false equivalence is.

So yeah, could tell you about how the exit polls said most people voted based on the economy and it wasn’t because Democrats hint at helping trans people or how the right demonizes them.

Or that your strategy of trying to become diet conservative doesn’t work, especially since the Democrats have and are basically doing that.

Or that the same goal could be achieved by getting more election and voting change, like ending gerrymandering and putting in ranked choice voting.

Or maybe I’d meet you halfway and say if the Democrats decided to rebrand stuff as “helping all Americans” rather than outright saying that it’s for trans people, they might get some of working class rural Americans on their side. Maybe.

But since you don’t figure out what a false equivalence is, I’m not sure you’d really get it, ya know?

And since you’re willing to throw my friends’ lives away rather than look at other options, I’m not really keen on talking to you much.

It’s false equivalence because, again, these are two separate scenarios.

The first is your hypothetical assumption based off of a completely different culture and time period, and the second is, you know, the here and now in the present day. Factual reality.

Arrogantly going “well I think this would’ve gone badly if they did something completely different totally equates to what’s happening now” is a pretty ballsy form of false equivalence. You can’t even come up with a real scenario to compare the present situation with.

Actually people had much less of a beef with homosexuality before the 50’s and the pink scare. Lord Byron was like, an open bisexual. Victorians has nipple rings as a fad.

Also abolitionists and suffragettes and the like weren’t exactly wildly popular.

Your hypothetical scenario is not only uninformed, but also a false equivalence. We don’t live in those time periods, we can focus on more than one thing at a time, and you’re also fixing blame on the movement to make things better rather than on the people who are actively making things worse. You should be blaming the rich for making global warming worse, not the people who are fighting against it and losing because they are daring to say trans people shouldn’t be a problem.

Man I hope that’s sarcasm

Dude said that dead soldiers were losers abd disrespected the Arlington cemetery and they are surprised by this one?

It really broke my heart. I loved Reddit, I was on it on RiF one my phone when I didn’t use my computer. It was great for finding all sorts of new stuff and it was genuinely fun. I’d had a few accounts for like a decade or something, but when they killed the alternate programs I just left and never looked back.

Hey not cool don’t diss Mexico like that

They weren’t fooled. They knew exactly what he is.

They didn’t care.

That’s the fallacy that us lefties kinda fall into, that if someone was just educated enough or knew enough or could see the facts, the person would change their mind.

The thing is, this was all about trying to get back at the left and minorities. “Fuck you I don’t like the changing world I want my pretend 50s universe with no blacks and gays”

Anne Frankly you should be ashamed

From what I learned the problem is they don’t put it back in the river, it’s just in the coolant systems and stays there. And they won’t disclose how much they are actually using.

Turn 40 in about a month and let me tell you, it’s dope AF. I’ve got more friends than I know what to do with, having way more fun than in my 20s and I’m not tied down to raising a kid. I go to cons and adventures all the time that I couldn’t do nor afford if I had kids. Having kids always grossed me out. I’ve got friends with kids that I can corrupt as needed.

The problem is that said political party is in bed with if not just straight up neo Nazis now. Maybe ten years ago your perspective would be reasonable but it simply isn’t anymore.

I guess he raised that if you can’t succeed without making racists jokes you’re not a good comedian

That makes a lot more sense

The people who make social anxiety their whole identity. See the larger comment if you want more detail.

See the post below since your alt? account said the same thing.
