A brethylizer test for alcohol isn’t “objective” either and all it does is create cause to test your blood.

The wehrmacht had tons of people forcibly drafted into it from occupied territories like Poland or Ukraine. People who often defected to the allies to fight against them later on. You are thinking of the SS.

He even had like 3 different items that could provide mana to him but he roached

And if my grandma had wheels she would be a bicycle

Yeah, sure. But at the end of the day, whatever this project is, will work worse than the things I mentioned.

Except it is entirely counterproductive and a project for a project’s sake.

There are stands that turn your regular drill into a “drill press”. 100x more rigid than whatever this is. And with drill presses, you can’t have deflection or it’ll ruin every part you make.

Alternatively, there are $50 drill presses too. Probably “worth the money”, but still more rigid than this.

No argument on gps and lidar from me. Streaming doesn’t work. You are probably thinking about Microsoft flight sim, which completely fails (and is the first “completely streamed” map). Out in the “real world”, you don’t have a fiber connection to stream gigabytes every hour.

Does the taxi driver remember every sign in the city, every road and parking spot? No. They are humans - they remember the streets, some important spots that are confusing, maybe a couple of shortcuts. There is a huge difference between having a 3d map of everything in the city in the memory, and setting a GPS to an address, reading the signs as you go by and adhering to them. Also if self driving tech is to expand, you don’t go putting the entire world into memory - that’s not scaleable.

And as I said - a symbol is never “simple as a still life painting”. If it were still life painting only, why is this news? Why didn’t she change the background to a different one that didn’t have the watermelon? Why is there so much emotion surrounding it?

The truth is - a watermelon is a symbol for Palestine now. We organize watermelon parties in public parks and everyone knows what it is. Sure, it’s a celebration of culture, not political, generally just a party. But at the end of the day, it is a symbol too. Playing dumb doesn’t suddenly make people go “oh okay I guess this is just a watermelon”. People see a duck, hear a duck, think a duck.

I don’t know where you got that from, but you do you

“I am not going to stop thinking of women as fuck objects and treat them as people, and if that offends you that’s your problem”

I’m not “offended” by you, I’m telling you to change your thought patterns and stop being an incel in every sense of the word. No wall of text will excuse this line of thinking, or make it okay. I’m done talking with you - it’s obvious you suffer from being chronically online and not understanding how to interact with people.

Read it again, women are people too. What your approach is, is to think of them as objects to fuck, a different category to “people”. You have your own issues to work through. Don’t use people as means to an end.

No, you aren’t pretty normal to think of everyone as “someone to fuck” and instead of saying “hey want to throw hoops together” to a woman too, you would say “want to fuck”. That’s asocial behavior.

And no, it doesn’t matter that women and men have differences.

So yeah, drop this toxic line of thinking first.

All flags are inherrently political. A flag is the ultimate symbol for nationalism. Usually you shouldn’t display them in any context, especially in a job that makes you face people from different backgrounds, ethnicities or nations.

So yeah, I’d tell someone to take off the Ukraine background too, not for the “someone might be offended” reason

As with everything, it isn’t about the watermelon, it is about the symbol it represents. To anyone that doesn’t want to excuse / explain, a symbol represents something - in this case support for Palestine. So it is treated the exact same as if she had a Palestinian flag in the background. Especially because she is Palestinian.

The only idiotic part is the “antisemitic” thing, when 1. Palestinians are Semites too, 2. Supporting Palestine isn’t antisemitic.

I’d probably ask a person with a flag background to take it down too tbh, no matter if it was the Israeli flag, Palestinian, British or US. Just probably not for those reasons that they stated.

Sooo are you able to go out, meet people in the park? No? Then it most likely isn’t going to work, as I said in my post before. Take care of your mental health first.

I said it in the comment above, if you are unable to go out / ask someone out / spend time with them, it is most likely not going to work out. I like spending my time with my cat too - but I am able of going out to meet someone in a park for instance. Maybe an online relationship with someone has a place, but at the end of the day - nothing can substitute being in the same place together.

You seem to have more pressing matters than a relationship to take care of. Finding a partner is secondary to taking care of yourself. A relationship won’t magically fix anything, worse yet, it can be detrimental to your health. A partner also isn’t there to baby you, or be your therapist. Can’t really give you mental health advice more than that, I am not a psychiatrist or a therapist. And even if I was, giving medical advice on the internet isn’t something people should be doing.

You probably need to rely on your support network, ask someone for help if possible, or call a doctor. It won’t be easy to overcome though.

Gotta love how people don’t understand that “nonprofit” doesn’t mean “we don’t pay our employees and do everything for free”

The best advice is “women are people too, not some mystical being from outer space”. They feel the same emotions, they get hungry, they get horny, they get anxious or shy too."

Look for people who think similarly to you. I found it that I mesh well with other people who are on the spectrum, have adhd, etc. Ultimately nothing matters when you can’t approach someone, or go out of your way to find hobbies where you can find people with the same interests as you. So if you can’t get over that (or accept a rejection), it won’t work.

Also, don’t focus on a single person, especially someone who doesn’t return feelings / attention, or doesn’t have time for you at all. Even the busiest person will find a tiny bit of time to meet with you if they really like you. Obsessing over a single person for years isn’t the way to find love. Quoting a song by Tim Minchin, “your love is one in a million, but it doesn’t mean that the other 999 999 loves wouldn’t be equally nice”. If you find someone who returns your feelings, you mesh with well, hold on for dear life.

This isn’t “THE” solution though. Plenty of other options. My favourite is meal prepping - spend three hours cooking for the entire week, put it in the fridge. Instead of an hour / hour and a half each day. You only have to clean up after yourself once too.

Issues are you need to prepare things that reheat well, or that you can quickly “cook up” each day without it taking too long. I.e. “just add the sauce to the salad” type of deal.

Buy the loaf, slice it, freeze the excess. Take out only what you need. You can microwave it to unfreeze it quickly (but it does take some practice to not overdo it and ruin it) or just leave it out and be able to eat in like 30 mins. Comes out fresh and you don’t waste it ever really.
