I think it stems from the prodigious amounts of alcohol consumed by both.

That does indeed help: You get wasted together, go to the one bar in town that's open until 05:00, due to the loud music you need to stick your heads close together... The rest just sort of happens.

Happened to me twice this year, actually. The first time I insisted she make the first move (because she had said she wanted to keep things platonic a while before that night), and second time I don't remember (and neither does she, but man her boyfriend was not amused that she took me home with her).

Both were interesting experiences, but I'm down a friend and I didn't get properly laid either time anyway. I don't think it's a winning strategy in any regard, really - mostly I just do it because I like to go drink with people I like.

*This refers to both genders.

Yeah except no matter what I'm going to be a gross dude in the eye of dudes.

Okay, so. This will be kinda harsh, and I'm about 40% sure you would have heard this before. You really need to stop assuming everyone else thinks you're ugly/unattractive/whatever. If you think you're unattractive, so be it, that's a separate issue.
I can say that a good 98% of people will not think you're ugly, and those that do have unrealistically high expectations. Your appearance is fine. Seriously. If you keep going on about about how everything thinks you're ugly then people will think you're fishing for compliments.

Alright, new rule for electronics I own: if it is held together with anything other than Phillips screws in plain sight then I can't be bothered to take it apart, no matter the issue.

I disassembled my laptop twice now in the past hour. The second time is because a ribbon cable came undone, because putting it together involves snapping two pieces together quite violently. And speaking of, there's a latch that I swear bends itself out of shape every time I pull it apart, so I have to manually bend it back in to shape or else it won't go right. I was tempted to just snap off one of the small metal pieces so I wouldn't have to deal with it any more.

It's not that. It's that most people are heterosexual, and I suck at not looking like a man.

I've been trying to find my old Oregon Trail 4th Edition disc from when I was little so I can get my nostalgia on, but I can't find it.

I know I still have it, since I've seen it every time I've moved my old shit, but now the one thing I'm actually looking for has vanished.

A classmate has a bag of strawberries with him and a second classmate asked him for one (there were about four left after). I also asked for one, but did not recieve, because he only had the few left and didn't want to give them all out.
If I had asked before the second classmate did I would he nibbling strawberry right now. ;-;

I'm starting to suspect that Ghost in the Shell: First Assault might be utter garbage. That's a shame, because AFAIK it's literally the only Ghost in the Shell video game since the Playstation era.

People who are heterosexual are heterosexual. They are into the opposite gender, looking like said gender is secondary.

[Putnam]

a lot of gay/bi men like men who look like men

[Orange Wizard]

Wait, what's the point of being gay if you don't like men who look like men?

[TheBiggerFish]

...Guys, isn't that the wrong issue...?

[chaotic skies]

I'm just a total waste-of-space, sarcastic asshole who can only get things right the millionth time I go through them, who also puts everything off until the very last second, simultaneously fucking both me and everyone involved over so badly that we might as well either quit or start from scratch. Oh, and rather than admit I've done these things, I prefer to bullshit people until they lose all trust and faith in me and hate my guts. Although, now that I think about it, most people hate my guts from the moment I say hi anyway. Or they ignore me. That's my prefered response, actually. Saves me the effort of having a conversation with someone.

you have no way of knowing if that's true and it probably isn't

seriously, the vast majority of people couldn't muster up the effort to hate anyone upon meeting them

[chaotic skies]

Well than I seem to have the type of personality that pisses people off on contact then, or I'm misinterpreting things (again). Either way, I'm not very good at making friends. Or talking to people. Or doing anything social not based off of doing stuff. Even then I suck at being social.
