Yes, Friday is officially taco dinner day across the nation. The notable difference is that they are Norwegian tacos, and as such don't have a single damned thing to do with Mexican food or spices.

The best part about about making your own food is that you can make your own food

Yes, but they don't. They make the same tasteless, dry ground meat, the same hard shell tortillas, the same store-bought tasteless, spiceless "salsa", the same spread of corn, cucumbers and tasteless, inoffensive cheese, and the same drink pairing of Coke or Pepsi as everyone else in the country. If avocados are even involved at all, it's in the form of the same horrid store-bought "guacamole" which is completely uniform in color and consistency and has roughly 14% avocado content.

The rest is fermented shark.

in the land of the bland, the one spice man is king

[Yoink]

Could Kagus take up that mantle, perhaps?

Yes, but what I was getting at is that if you made your own taco, you could make it how you like it

[Teneb]

Fish tacos were nice, but the euphemism kinda ruined them for me.

Also, I hope Imic unlocks the religion thread someday soon ):

Railgun thread is still open.

You see a widespread failing. However, think about it. The nation has seriously sub-optimal tacos. When everyone is failing hard it is in fact a ripe opportunity for an entrepreneur. It's low-hanging fruit.

Similar to how the "Flat White" espresso coffee from Australia (which is our most default takeaway coffee possible) is suddenly a hip thing in the USA, because USA coffee is just universally awful.

I woke up today feeling lonely for friendship. I know this guy that works at my local library that is just a cool dude, and I'm always thinking about how it'd be cool to just be friends with him and be a gamer buddy sitting on the couch with him playing coop mode of some game or whatever. I want to ask him to just hang out, but honestly... getting rejected by a woman with romance on my mind is one thing... but getting rejected by a man when all I want is to be friends, I think that would feel 1000x worse. I don't mean this to sound gay, but when I write it out it sounds really gay; I don't mean it like that though, just to be clear. I feel I can't even approach him now, because I know I'm being obsessive and creepy about it, and I can't NOT be obsessive and creepy about it, it's just in my twisted personality. I think that, ultimately, it's better to just relinquish the idea to mere fantasy, and never follow through with it in any real sense, and that breaks my heart and kills me with loneliness. I suppose it's for the best though... it's for the best.

[Reelya]

Just chat about games a bit and ask "hey man do you wanna come over and play some games sometime?"

If you think that's "too gay" then just imagine you were the other person. You probably wouldn't think that.

Failing that, become a stoner, and invite people around for stoner game sessions.

Overthinking social situations isn't uncommon.

The key is to be more vapid. Sure you look down on vapidity but it's good for your long term mental health sometimes not to be r/iamverysmart at every moment in life.

[Kagus]

Alternatively, just wear a striped shirt.

Btw, as far as the Protestant Work Ethic thing, I was being hyperbolic as stated. I don't imagine it has more of an effect on suicide rates than, say, winter or poverty or mental illness.

[Reelya]

As we saw however, Hitler caused suicide rates to plummet, we need more guys like him*.

Hitler's only a problem when you have one of him. As you increase the number of Hitlers, and the ratio of Hitlers-to-Nazis drops, the overall problems associated with having Hitlers at all declines. Eventually you have nothing buy guys giving speeches.

Fark, dude, right in the bloody feels with that one.
I do that, too. Once I've overanalysed a situation I feel I need to avoid it. Well, fukk that! Do it anyway, says I! It's not our fault we have to agonise for an embarrassing amount of time over the most basic of "normal" social interactions, why should we miss out on them altogether because of it?!
It does get easier, in my experience.
Although... actually, here I can just segue into the sad I came in here to whinge about.


I was getting so much better at life for a while there, it was honestly pretty exciting. Now, though, I seem to have done such a huge amount of backsliding that if only I'd been standing on a skateboard at the time I'd probably have won some sort of medal, or at least a feature in Thrasher magazine.
