A pedo sex trafficker who supplied young girls to powerful people, who mysteriously killed himself when the cameras where turned off in his cell before he gave out any names.
I get that women don't feel safe rejecting guys openly, but it's pretty sad to realise they're that scared of you.
I mean, you start questioning what you did to scare them. Was it how you looked at them? Was it how you're dressed, the hammer, the way you asked them out, ... ?
I’m a dude but I’ve read experiences from some women online that they’re actually perfectly fine with men blowing their first load quickly, some even considered it flattering. After all you can go for a second round relatively quickly and what I’ve heard most women are fine with that so maybe doing everything to last longer right off the bat might not be the best thing.
All entertainment fills a need in your daily life. It only makes sense that the need changes as you grow older.
When I was younger, I was poor and had something to prove. Thus, I loved big games with hundreds of hours of gameplay, grinding for the best bobbles, and competitive multiplayer experiences.
But as I get older, I don’t care about any of that anymore. What I need instead is a way to relax within my short gaming windows, to have unique experiences, and maybe have a sense of control as my life gets more chaotic. As a result, I’ve tended more towards shorter indie titles. But also towards non-gaming things like travel, gardening, and crafting hobbies.
We spent so much of our lives building our identity around a single hobby - gaming. And maybe that was a mistake. So many of us end up sliding away from gaming as we get older and that change is okay and even expected, that shouldn’t give us an existential crisis.
Your identity should reflect the person you are, not the thing you do.
Getting old is strange. I keep trying to go to house or techno shows in the basement of restaurants or other weird places, convinced it’ll be a great time because I used to enjoy it. My knees hurt and I’d rather be home most of the time. It’s okay for things to have a beginning, middle, and end. Also, not to be nitpicky but just because I think it’s a fun word: it’s “baubles”
Probably a reference to the legend stating that french fries originate from Belgium.
But despite the propaganda from Belgian people, this has been debunked and historians from both countries agree that french fries originates from France, more precisely from the Pont Neuf area in Paris around the French Revolution period
I’m in my late 20s and have realized two things about video games
I’ve invested hundreds of hours into games and I’ve got absolutely nothing to show for that time investment, and basically nothing to brag about at work or to friends
The last couple of years I’ve been more often playing games to pass time than for the actual love of whatever game I’m playing
So I’ve been trying to spend my time doing other things. If there isn’t a compelling game I want to play at that moment I don’t just play games until I find one that compells me again, I just do something else entirely.
My wife on the other hand has realized she really enjoys video games and sees it as “look at all of this time I could have spent playing video games and experiencing these things!” So I suppose that gives some perspective that it’s not all for nothing
If you can’t justify having something you enjoy by saying “it’s not anything I can physically show some achievement for” are you sure you’re doing it/quitting it for the right reasons?
I read for pleasure sometimes, it’s usually not anything I can talk to anyone about since it’s usually older scifi, but I wouldn’t consider that a “waste of time.”
Also, if you tell anyone in the age bracket of 25-35 that you beat Halo 2: LASO they’ll know youve been in the trenches, it’s not necessarily all for nothing if you have people that share the hobby.
We all die alone. Doesn’t really matter how you get there. If you can amuse yourself while you wait for death that’s usually preferable to the alternative.
That’s literally how every programmer pronounced it before it became an Internet sensation. It had a marketing campaign to “sell” the format because that’s how new standards were created initially. They explicitly chose to name it after the peanut butter because it allowed them to give it a catchy phrase to sell it even better “choosy developers choose gif”.
