  • I think a lot of nerdy people need to just start going outside and doing stuff. Like, if you enjoy DND roll up to the local hobby store and start hanging out, even if you arent playing.

    None of this is targeted directly at you, just as good a spot as any to rant… lol

    I think more people would be surprised that the horror stories are the minority. At my local game story I go to a painting night once a month mostly to hang out and chat. There are a pretty even split of women/men.

    Point is I think this a safe spot to make friends and making friends is the only way to get into a relationship you’ll actually enjoy.

    I met my girlfriend doing Star wars rp. My friend met his girl playing magic l. All my single friends have something in common. They don’t make time for their hobbies and don’t hang out with like minded people in that space.

    Just a side note I’m not saying that everyone should go harass people at their FLGS or use it as a dating service, but rather, going out and hanging out with like minded people opens up a lot of options that aren’t on dating apps.

    I’m pretty introverted too but when people are into whatever my hyper focus is it’s much easier to open up. Go out there! Be uncomfortable! Not a cure all but it’s something.









  • I’ve been diagnosed twice with ADHD. I have it. I’ve tried a bunch of different meds and some work sometimes etc etc

    Ive definitely had spacey days where I will literally lose myself staring at nothing for 15 minutes. That’s rare though. Most of the time removing distractions, setting a routine, and ensuring I am on task when meds kick in help a bunch. The last one especially. With meds I HAVE to actually be doing the thing I’m supposed to with little opportunity for distraction when they kick in or I will fuck around.

    This meme and many others do not match my experience with ADHD. I’m sure it does for some.

    Hot take? I think a lot of people with ADHD (me included) use it as an excuse to not try. It’s typically not impossible to overcome but it does make it more difficult. I say this having more often than not failing to over come my adhd.

    People with ADHD are often impulsive and self destructive and memes like this, to me, are an expression of that self destructive part.

    Tbf to the meme though if you are deep in a spiral of self destructive procrastinating for months and that’s lead to issues at work, home etc then it’s easy to hit burnout and be depressed.

    But at the end of the day you have to use methods like removing distractions, taking notes and making checklists or whatever works for you so you don’t fall down those ADHD doomspirals. At least I don’t know any other way to stop it lol




  • They spin everything as whatever is convenient for them.

    A jewish person that supports them being attacked? Antisemitism.

    A jewish person that doesnt support them is attacked? Sounds like a dumb lib got what they deserved.

    A woman that supports them is being attacked? Misogyny.

    A woman exists in the ‘wrong’ space? thats DEI

    A man expresses emotions while disagreeing with them? What a soft emotional baby.

    A woman exists, with a valid complaint about men? What about men’s emotions and loneliness?

    What about men’s emotions and loneliness? Well i mean you just have to work out and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

    Ive seen it all and its pretty consistent in messaging. They pretend to care about men’s issues, but don’t. They pretend that only democrats hate men, but the truth is they dont give a shit about anyone that isnt on their side already, and even then its only so far as they can control the mass messaging and manipulate people into voting against their own class.

    The constant miasma of social media messaging makes it nearly impossible to get past surface level stuff.
