I have my favorite teams and sometimes I liken sports as a form of escapism. But, I do not ever religiously watch sports shows, listen to a lot of sports networks and actively follow anything closely. I am only there when the World Series, NBA Finals and the Super Bowl happens.

Can’t say I’ve ever attended a game, paid a ticket, bought any merch and whatnot. All of that just sound like money sinks to me. I am as minimal effort as they come when it comes to sports.

I think quite frankly, that athletes are simply overpaid. I always often wonder as to how much of their salaried contracts could go to better things than just dumping multi-millions into a few year long contract. And trust me, I get it, it’s a lot of hard work for an athlete to be in shape, remain in shape and deal with the grueling travel and schedules of some leagues. But, still, we’re talking millions to people who’re all set for life, regardless unless they turn out to be trainwrecks of human beings.

Because they possess some of the most close-minded individuals that you can find. They live boring lives, where all they can think of is advancing their goals and ambitions at the expense of others. They look down at everyone outside of their community. They truly believe that they are the ‘best of the best’ humanity has to offer just because of how gated and successful that they are. Nevermind that all of their successes were made through exploits and deceit, wheeling and dealing acquisitions, being born wealthy, never having to work an honest day in their life and ironically mooching off the teet of the government via lobbying when it serves them. While turning around calling people parasites for being on welfare.

I don’t know if it’s so much fear of commitment than it is just trying different people and everyone is allowed to do that whether you like it or not. Sorry, that’s just the dating world in practice. People only have one life to live and they will take all of the time of it, to find someone or not, whether it means having to go through multiple people.

So I find it a bit misleading that you use the idea that it is all about being afraid.

Also, your ex did you a favor and was at least honest. That’s far more mature than anyone who simply just won’t give you that clarification. What it meant is that you weren’t exactly 100% up to par with what she expected or who she looked for. You were probably a modest percentage to warrant being liked.

Smart - anything.

Why do you need a smart doorbell? Why do you need a smart appliance? You’re just inviting waves of survelliance not to mention the bandwidth from all of that shit having to tap into the internet.

Besides maybe pretty lights, from the designs and things I’ve seen that are made in any holiday, I don’t know who the hell would fucking buy this shit. Other than the Joneses and families that feel they gotta feel decorative so they force it onto themselves.

Just get a few lights, a tree, maybe a single decor and call it good.

Could we finally have a revolution by that point? Because I’m about tired of just talking and thinking of a revolution. We should’ve had about three big ones by this point.

Funny because my credentials are 2 years of therapy and about having the same plan as yours. Nice try, bud. Learn the differences.

I don’t know, your wording implies that depression isn’t real. It just sounded like procrastination to me.

Start making timelines.

If she doesn’t respond like say, 3 honest months from now? You could say it’s a dead friendship. Mental issues destroys people and it is not always a wise decision to try and like, feel like you’ve gotta force a way in because that could make it worse. It could make someone pressurized and that pressure could build up in them to enact and it might not be the kind of action you’d want.

But two years though? That’s kindof tough to gauge really, I’ve had people like that and honestly they just get quietly discarded. No parting words, nothing. Some people just need all of the time in the world, literally and it’s sad when it happens when that’s the choice they’re going to make for themselves.

I always assume it’s someone just trying to curve the legality of consent or just sparking a unnecessary debate over consent. It’s just baiting at this point.

People are starting to do this more often because the search engines are failing them. Google has long stopped being reliable. I can’t tell you how many times I would ask a question that relates to a law in my state, out of curiosity and I’d get a totally different state in the country. It’s frustrating.

People who’re desperately seeking the dark secrets of others. This never made sense to me for anyone to ask and a lot of the answers are usually things that aren’t that dark to begin with, like someone hiding their alcoholism or using drugs. Those kind of things are unfortunately expected of people. What people who ask for dark secrets really want, is something so that they can have dirt on you to feel better about themselves over. It’s always that.

Soft-ball questions that come out boring like “What’s your favorite…?” or “If you had a time machine what would you do?” or “What would you do if you had a lot of money?” because they just come off monotonous to engage with.

Speaking of money, lots of money-related questions. You know, don’t ask me what I’d do with a million dollars unless you’re going to actually give me a million dollars. Otherwise, I don’t like the idea of sitting here and typing a theoretical answer to something I’m never going to have.

I will not listen to or hear out any conservative views. That ship has long sailed.

I won’t go out of my way to defend what I believe, but that doesn’t mean I have to hear your opposing views because I don’t care of what you think.
