I have tidal now for over 2 years and I am very satisfied with it. Catalogue is all I want and need, quality is amazing and the suggestion feature works very well for me. Discovered quite a lot of new music and old stuff I already forgot about. So I can recommend tidal.

Damn, people are seriously responding to this. I thought it couldn’t be more obvious.

So? What does it matter? What’s the downside? Lemmy needs more content and engagement, here it is.

Btw you are engaging too. If it is bait the intention of your engagement does not matter, only that you engaged, that’s how rage bait works for example.

This problem sounds so stupid and absurd, but that’s what I’m dealing with…

It does not. You’re feeling lonely, desexualized, maybe ostracized - that is tough, it sucks and it’s not stupid. Those feelings are valid and you’re suffering because of those feelings. When people say that their problems or their suffering isn’t worth mentioning or it’s minuscule I always counter that you can drown in an ocean or drown in a puddle, it doesn’t matter, your suffering is real. And when you say you’re feeling lonely - that is always serious, loneliness can be such a deep and heavy feeling that it’s hard to overstate.

not very pretty

If that’s you in your profile picture I would disagree, your eyes are stunningly beautiful. And if not I would still disagree without having ever seen you.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, people are attracted to different things and sometimes people think some things about you are attractive that you don’t even know or think about.

I am sincerely convinced that this is the main reason why men have never approached me. I’m also quite socially awkward

We men are simple, but people in general are complicated. I may be that your young looks are a factor, it may even be a substantial factor, but it surely isn’t the only.

Men are self conscious too, especially younger men. Approaching someone romantically can be super intimidating and even if you can work up the courage, you still have to make your interest clear, I can’t count how often I was able to initiate contact but still failed miserably to convey my romantic intentions. And just because I don’t act or look shy when interacting with you doesn’t mean I am not terrified on the inside.

Your looks are only a part of who you are, looking very young might be a limiting factor for first contact in settings like bars or bigger social events but those are hook up situations and from what I’m reading from you I think it’s not what you need or want necessarily. You want to feel desired, but you also want to feel yourself. You want to feel less lonely. Those are things a hook up won’t fix, at least not lasting, trust me.

Like others mentioned, go out, meet new people, make friends, that will give you more self confidence and you will learn what is desirable about you, physically but also in your character. And once you’ve learned what is desirable and attractive or even admirable about you it will come easier, you learn how to play to.your strengths, what social setting suits you the best, how you make yourself approachable and most importantly - you’ll learn to love yourself for who you are and you will be happy with yourself.

I promise you, you won’t feel that way forever. You’re not there yet, but one day you will. It might not be tomorrow or next week, but it will come sooner or later. Hang in there stranger <3

Hey, thank you for reaching out, coincidentally today would’ve been my dad’s 74th birthday. I’m having a tough time lately and your little message made me smile. It means a lot to me right now, so thank you again :) best wishes

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know.… morons.

Yeah it’s a gamble but those trees are so magnificent.

Sometimes it makes me feel small but in a good way, like - no matter this tree was here way before me and will be here when I’m long gone. It’s soothing in a way :)

Not to distract from lovely buffy but those olive trees are just gorgeous. Trees like Olives and oaks fascinate me. I remember being in Portugal and asking a old farmer ‘what do you think how old that olive is?’ -‘Probably around 600-800years’… That tree was standing there, witnessing the reconquista. That’s mind-blowing to me.

Haha same, I just treat it as one long book with several acts. Yeah loving it, I like how Asimov doesn’t dwell on overbearing descriptions of battles or the like but has a very calm way to tell the story. Unlike Stanislav Lem, in Solaris I had to skip several passages that were just unreadable to me, especially in the descriptions of the forms the ocean build, after like three paragraphs I was like ‘alright soa little like stalagmites, thanks’ and skipped ahead until he came back to the story. I love his books nonetheless, if you haven’t read them already I highly recommend them.

Funny, I’m also reading foundation right now and had the same realization. Generally I am noticing how much Foundation influenced other sci-fi, like Trantor being the inspiration for coruscant in star wars.

I’m not trying to give the orange fuck the benefit of doubt, just sharing my experience with situations like this, I should’ve pointed out that my comment is meant to be divorced from the people shown in the picture.

I overall agree with your sentiment.

Honestly this is a valid reaction. I work in a live venue, so sometimes someone faints and you can’t always remove them immediately from the crowd but rather have to put them on the floor to stabilize them.

There is already 4 people helping if you’re a medical professional your offer to assist is greatly appreciated, but everyone else should stay the fuck away, don’t stare, don’t ask ‘is everything alright’ just stay away and give the person with a medical emergency at least some privacy. It is super intimidating to wake up from fainting in a concert venue, it’s worse when there’s 50 faces staring at you.

I’m in my mid thirties, me and my friends always have been like this. We also cuddle sometimes, always have. When we had movie nights we would have what we’d call the puppy pile - just put your head on my shoulder bro.

We didn’t even know it was unusual until a friend visited with his gf while we had movie night and she was endeared when she saw the puppy pile “I love how comfortable you all are with each other!” - “What do you mean?”

Cuddle your bros, bros! It’s nice :)

Depends, usual lethal radius between 5-25m, some shrapnel might be lethal beyond that. If you start driving slowly and accelerate moderately you might geht caught by some shrapnel.

Anyways, the thief would definitely notice the explosion. You would notice several blocks away.

Possibly without even knowing

Not for long though. I give it about 3-5 seconds until the thief would notice. Probably the last thing they will ever notice.

It still is, this shit is hilarious as an observer.

I love salami, capers and banana on a pizza, don’t judge if you haven’t tried it!

He just had it a couple of hours in a desperate attempt for attention. Also he is bored.

Went into this comment section with Kafkas “Metamorphosis” in mind, I love the opening, the whole story is genius and to this day perfectly describes large parts of German society.

All three quotes are great, how you can captivate a reader just with one sentence, all three do this perfectly.

Owls may be elegant and fearsome

For small vermin they may be fearsome but, as a human, have you ever stood in front of a group of huge ass seagulls with a portion of French fries or a sandwich? They are fierce and fearless monsters that will fuck you up for a piece of your food.
