I've taken to calling myself "asexual". While not technically true, since I feel the desire, at least this way people don't try to pressure me into interactions I'm uncomfortable with.

I hear this criticism all the time, but I've never seen it happen in 5 companies I've worked for so far. Usually there's an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

Imagine phones having stupid logic like printers - no you can't make a call, your smell cartridge is empty

Those asmr mukbang videos. I can't stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse

I wouldn't say he's a source of information at all. His videos are opinion pieces. As far as I've noticed he rarely gives any hard numbers, or claims to know things outside of the mainstream news.

It doesn't hurt you so don't worry about it

Eh, not so sure. Beauty standards propagate, and pressure to conform to those standards is real.
That's just how fashion works. In this case fashion requires disabling a functional part of your body. It's at least a bit icky.

None of these articles make sense until you reform your electoral system to allow for multiple parties. Until then it basically do you want complete idiots, or a smaller amount of stupid takes.

I used to be what Americans call libertarian. Capitalism and free market ftw. I thought it would lead to a freer society.

At some point I understood that the consequences of capitalism lead away from what is actually my real goal - maximizing the liberty of each individual. If someone is afraid if they can afford food and housing they can't really be free.

Now I support certain types of socialist policies with the same goal.

Have an existental crisis. I'm serious. But have a low level one, a high level will paralize you.

Move away from parents home if you haven't already. Preferably to live alone. The feeling of having a whole place to yourself is amazing.
