Ok, in what countries do police have a duty by law to help people? And if the duty to help others comes from being human, then police are doing a fucking terrible job at fulfilling it

Police have no duty to protect anyone. Literally. There are no laws saying police have to help anyone. Police do not exist to help anyone.

To let them continue what? Commiting crimes? Guess what, we don’t, that’s what prison is for. Far better than killing people because your personal opinion is that they need to die

Either there is an acceptable number of innocent people that can be executed, or the government never makes mistakes. Which is it?

You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that’s me. Haven’t spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can’t bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?

Yeah that’s me. I’m definitely not an incel, I’m self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There’s hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not “redpill nutjob” guys out there

A small amount of inflation is healthy. You REALLY want to avoid deflation, because that means the value of your money is increasing. If people know their money will be worth more in the future, they won’t spend it, incentivized to save and sit on it. That means on average everyone spends less, slowing the economy down and starting into a recession/depression.

Gonna slap this with the good old “I am not an economist” disclaimer, juat what I remember from economics class in high school

A dildo. Get to know yourself and what you like a little and it’s legitimately brain melting. You don’t have to be gay to enjoy em, I’m glad I gave butt stuffing a try.

Just make sure whatever you get is actually body safe. Silicone is generally the only good soft body safe material, look for medical grade or platinum cure.

I am living proof that this will fuck you right up

You just don’t notice it till it really becomes a problem

I’ve seen both of my grandfathers become shadows of who they were due to alzheimers and I really hope I don’t live long enough for that to happen to me. Fate worse than death, I think that’s reasonable

When I play too much of a game they frequently show up in my dreams

Pop culture osmosis is a wonderful thing

I mean, even without the religious aspect, that might be kinda nice

“We caught you trying to kill yourself through some nasty means, here, have some state sponsored painless nitrogen to breathe”

I mean setting aside the horrible power it would give the gov, it’s a really funny image of someone being talked down from suicide by jumping into getting professional suicide help so they can do it easier

I couldn’t be a used car salesman. I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to sell someone a lemon.

I’m already having the mental health crisis, would be nice to have the immersive VR porn to go with it tbh. People in this thread are mostly talking about incels but, like, there’s many men with horrible social issues who are self aware. I don’t have a relationship, I think I would be a terrible partner and me being single is for the best. I still am lonely sometimes, but accepting it and moving on helps a lot. It still would be nice to have something like this because I would be able to have some companionship without having to be in someone else’s life.

Before anyone tells me to go to therapy, I had a few sessions and then my therapist went on long term sick leave and I don’t think I have the strength to try again. It hurts less to just accept and live with my problems.

The smell will permeate. Mythbusters tried it with pig carcasses.

God, emotional hangover, that puts it so well. I did three sessions and I was a complete wreck the whole week after the 2nd and for a few days after the 3rd. My therapist is now taking an extended leave of absence and I don’t know if I have it in me to try again.

Look up Larry Ellison

If I was organized I’d have my friends birthdays. I know what my friends do but not specifics, I have a friend who’s a bartender and I know his schedule but not the name of the bar he works at. I have a friend who’s a packaging engineer and know some products he’s worked on but not the name of the company. I have a friend who had a girlfriend, now fiance, and I didn’t know her name for a long time. I had a friend who broke up and I didn’t know for months. Why? Nobody told me these things. And largely, I don’t ask, because both I don’t want to pry and I’m probably going to forget anyways. It goes the other way as well-I have a friend who vents a lot to me about his family and I know how his parents have hurt him far better than they do.

Oh yeah diy nerf guns have come so far, they’re really crazy. I really want to design a low power rubber band powered single shot pistol, something you could print and build without a trip to the hardware store.
