I do believe we have come to an accord.

Unfortunately, I very much doubt we’ll be able to a green on who should be killed first.

Dictators, dictators should be killed first, since dictatorships tend to lead to the largest amount of suffering

pack it up boys tinder's dead and i got nothin', all hope is gone

tinder low% speedrun personal best with the bad ending

Oh well. Time to go get some better pictures of myself and try some other sources. Or just meet people for real at for-real events. Young professionals meetup, or photography groups, or bar crawls, or summat. Ya boi is feeling socially starved!

I feel like I've basically tried everything, and still came up nothing.

My hobbies are basically all sausage-fests.  There are no girls aside from girlfriends getting dragged in.  I don't have time/money to pick up different ones, nor do I want to give up what I have now.

VA doesn't really have traditional bars.  All bars are required to serve X amount of food, so basically they're restaurants or shitty sports bars.

I've looked thru meetup.com and everything is either outside my demographic (either lgbt or people over 50 or some shit) or only occurs when I'm at work.  Same goes for the local community center.

Online dating's a farce and a scam so why bother.

And just being out in the public means nothing.  I'm practically a regular at the gym and the bookstore.  People will do anything to avoid talking to strangers.

[MrRoboto75]

Eh, I was mostly bullied or at most isolated throughout most of school.  It wasn't any better.

Honestly, my stance on the environment is the same as Katey and Naturegirl's. It's just that their reasons for that stance seem to be different. I value humans above all else, and we can't live without certain species, and even non-essential species provide research and resource opportunities. Ergo, they're still valuable and need to be protected.

I also agree with this, we need to protect what’s here. I just meant that we should protect not ONLY for humans, we need to make sure we can survive without causing a mass extinction

Would be good, but if we can't survive without mass extinctions, then so be it, IMO the survival of humanity matters more than that.

There's also the problem of actually enforcing environmental norms. I'd restrict corporations but not ban them (very skeptical of non-authoritarian socialism, state capitalism and a mixed economy is OK, though), and have the state take control of the parts of the industry that pollute the most and try to regulate them.

Edit: corrected autocorrect.

I dunno man, let's just chuck a few nukes around and let it sort itself out.

[Yoink]

Nah, we'll smoke the roaches too.

[wierd]

LOL--  About that...


The instance where I worked for a place that got the oriental roaches?

Well, my boss just freaking LOVED to go toke it up in the employee bathroom, which had unfinished drywall walls.  Naturally, those things just fucking soaked up all that pot resin he was huffing out like sponges, and the roaches were subsisting on it.

I had a pyromaniac co-worker who would catch the roaches and burn them alive with a butane torch, and the things reeked of weed when they got roasted.

True story.

TinyPic, the free image hosting site I've used for ages due to its simplicity and ease of use for a free service, is going tits-up...

I'll not only have to find a new place for my random image-sharing needs, I'll also need to rehost everything I've used for the (ill-fated) Majesty and Hellsign LPs if I don't want them to turn into messes of dead links.

I should probably also see what all can be salvaged from the free-free image hosting I did with them for all the blog-o-thread links in my sig. Many of the image links have already long since died, but there might be a few images that I can download and reupload somewhere else. Beh.

This one works well for me.

Well... Kinda duh. We only need to take action if we want to continue being a part of this funny little world. "The Environment" isn't going to stop being an environment just because the humans die off.

No, but it may become slightly worse than Australia everywhere.

We are in no reasonable way capable of eradicating all life on the planet. We're perfectly capable of eradicating all or most of the life that supports us, but we're not going to be turning the earth into a lifeless husk anytime soon.

Hold my beer.

Iduno has begun a mysterious construction!
Iduno has made Project: Fuck the World. It menaces with spikes of lava.

[Kagus]

Was supposed to go on a date tonight (more of a booty call, really), she was gonna let me know when she was off work and heading in my direction.

Last I heard from her was 47 hours ago.


Oh well.

[TD1]

I caved and entered the world of online dating.

It's... not good. The only site which seems to throw good-ish matches at me is eHarmony, and they never respond. Nor has anyone so much as looked at my profile. I wouldn't peg myself as handsome, but I'm also not ugly. I can only conclude that the trickle of daily matches I've been sent (in three days, the highest was seven and the lowest two) the vast majority are dead accounts. But the site won't say when the people were last online, presumably because then people would know they're dead accounts.

*Sigh*

Oh also let's not speak of that hastily deleted account on a site which, in about two hours, had me viewed by upwards of 20 people. About half of whom were in their 40s. *Shudder*.

I've read that Tinder is the least terrible, but it's still a lot of bots and crazies. Also, dress nice and get a good picture taken of you, then actually talk to people.

Alternatively, use the dating app (can't remember the name) where the gimmick is that men aren't allowed to send the first message. Then take a shot every time women say they want you to message first. For your sanity, assume they're just joke accounts.

[Kagus]

Bumble. Bumble is the one you're thinking of, where women are supposed to make the first move (and which was originally created specifically to cater to women, as they wouldn't find themselves inundated by all the man-spam that normally accompanies female profiles on dating sites... Welp).

Its really no better.  Women messaging first basically boils down to them writing literally nothing: "Hey".  So once again the ball is passed to the man to instigate everything.

I honestly think the only way online dating could work is if humans weren't involved in it.

[TD1]

I dunno, looking at Bumble it just seems like Tinder with a different colour scheme. Which is nice and all, but tends to be populated by a shallow "hey s/he's hot, I'll have some of that" mentality.

Anyway, I've no problem sending messages online, so the gimmick doesn't really sell me on it.

Edit: Huh, it's actually not so bad so far. Most of them seem to be Post grads from the local university. Which is nice. And I'm already getting likes, so yay?

Double edit: Ahaha, someone wrote "I'm Pakistani, everyone likes a bit of spice on their rice" in their bio. 

Ah, yes, it made me laugh. But it also made me move hastily onwards XD
