Good point. However, cases are likely varied and complicated, whether explained by misogyny, compulsions, poor impulse control, bad role models etc. Different cases require different solutions.

What OS in particular are working on it currently?

Actually, some girls have approached me after years of having this strategy! Two of them managed to get through my autistic filtering. However, venting time, both cases have followed this pattern: I’m not interested at first and try to keep distance. After some time I get warmed up enough to get interested back and then the other party loses interest. I can still keep in touch as their second therapist and comfort their suicidal thoughts. There was also a platonic internet friendship with one girl when I was a lonely teenager, but she cut contacts and is dead nowadays.

I’ve never made a first move and still don’t feel like start dating. Although, I’m kinda close with one woman, but if I try to touch her, she falls asleep. Also, if she doesn’t have enough clothes, she feels too cold and falls asleep. And we’re both kinda depressed bottoms so usually nothing happens anyway. Is this what a relationship should feel like? At least she doesn’t scream and scratch bloody wounds to her arms. Not sure if I should feel lucky having these experiences. Oops, this was a meme channel.

Edit: for the record, in case my vent tone suggests otherwise, I respect my friends and support them best I can. I just can’t help but feel that I might’ve always lacked a basic nourishing intimacy myself.

The basic joke setup is an expectation that the training is done for a more noble cause than impressing a girl. Then the punchline is doing an environmental crime for an old lady. (Also, you can see font change on the battery part which might indicate that the original comic used to have a wholesome message.)

The oldest meme from the backup of my old phone

On TP it was comedy gold to name Link “fuck me” and Epona “my ass”.

I guess I’m built different. Never blocked anyone. Even in disagreements and bad takes I try to understand what is going on in people’s minds. I also believe that having wide range of perspectives trains my compassion. Although, I’d still rather read leftist infighting on Lemmy than any political garbage fire on other platforms… until morbid curiosity takes me elsewhere again.

Some people think discrimination and inclusion are zero-sum games when they tend to be in fact transitive.

Forums were so much better than social media that killed many of them.

People-oriented networking feels like staring in the void when one is asocial enough. In topic-oriented networking one does not need to contribute that much. Maybe that’s why Lemmy seems better than Mastodon for me.
