the usual: inflate the bubble until it bursts, and when it bursts, look for the next Big Thing

1. pointless tech scheme forms
2. tech scheme turns into tech trend, initial investors make bank off of trend
3. every idiot in the tech sector wants to get in on it and integrate it into their systems without understanding what it is, what it does, or how they could profit off of it (YOU ARE HERE)
4. tech trend crashes and burns once investors realize how much money they lost
repeat

It's getting more people into art at least, and maybe they'll appreciate human stuff more.

Honestly stardew valley is one of the best games i have played in my life, i would recommend you to start fishing, that is how i managed to ear more money

My favorite part about this game is that, just like in Harvest Moon, each of the bachelors/bachelorettes have a clear counterpart and you get to choose on of their partners as your mate lolol.

I just got back into my yearly Stardew obsession. My favorite part of the game is trying to complete the community center as fast as possible. On my current playthrough, I married Emily.

For tips: Salmence on YT has guides for each season as well as some other tip videos. I found him helpful when I started playing the game.

BTW, you can get animals by purchasing the coop or the barn from Robin, which unlocks Marnie selling animals. Once the coop or barn is built you can buy a chicken or a cow, and upgrade the buildings to get different animals.

don't spoil teh game for yourself by watching videos about it . experience it

I had an abusive roommate situation and now can’t trust living with anyone anymore. I found out I was her 4th roommate that year and it was only June. She stressed me out to the point of becoming prediabetic. I want a roommate but there are too many disaster stories.

>>309168
I lived for a year with a moid we didn't really do anything but smoke weed and watch shows together but it was much nicer than to live alone because I am constantly lonely

>>309694
I did this and it was comfy till the moid got annoying, clingy, and possessive as all moids eventually get

>>309726
did he fall for you?

had an ex roommate who was going through addiction problems and would send me long text messages accusing me of stealing her food (i only ate food at my job because i was so broke at this time). she would also talk shit about me loudly to her friend and family members. i think with the mix of her trying to quit, mental problems, and wanting to live alone she took it out on me as i didn't do much but go to school/work and clean the house. it made me sad because we were ok friends before this.

i live with two roommates now that are very chill and clean well, vice versa. i'm glad i can actually come home without fear now.

So is Sucralose better than Sugar?

>>308696
sucralose still stims vagus into releasing insulin just like aspartame and sugar. it just doesn't contain calories. if you eat too few calories but still get lots of insulin response, you break down muscle for energy instead of what you ate or fat.. insulin is bad for things unrelated to weight also

insulin prevents you from losing weight because it prevents stored energy (fat cells) from being used to power your body. zero calorie is a literal scam for weight loss on top of tasting bad

https://leafybark.com/how-insulin-affects-weight-loss/

nature intended sugar to be used to prevent starvation during the long periods (sometimes weeks) ancient humans went without finding food. we evolved to enjoy it so much because humans needed to want to eat it whenever possible since in nature it doesn't occur that much. not eating any carbs means you'll go keto, which is a survival mechanism meant to increase the chances of finding actual nutrition. you were simply not meant to eat sweet things everyday and the insane amount of insulin that's considered normal for children will have lots of metabolic and cellular consequences starting in midlife if kept up into adulthood

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10305118/
sucralose activates taste receptor type 1 member 3 (T1R3), generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), and triggering endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and lipogenesis,

Diet coke is my favorite but it does taste like car fuel kek

I FUCKING LOVE DIET COKE!!!!!!!!!!

swimming is better to get in shape without the possibility of getting hurt

>>309493
but judo is so much more fun.
in general, do a sport that you like to do instead of trying to optimize calorie burning by doing boring stuff you have to force yourself to.

>>309203
im doing hema for a while now, swordfighting if you want
it uses modern protective gear and is pretty technical, not about force or speed. and its done mostly by nerds. classes are mixed, but people are usually very chill.

i practice mma

>>309203
>be starting a judo class soon

how is it going?! is it a hoot as much as you hoped?!

>>309203
how many people have you beaten up, now that you know kung fu, op

>>309079
Winner.

there are plenty of cool kind interesting normies who can think for themselves at least partially, and then there is legitimate normopathy, which is not discussed enough.

>>309628
elaborate.

I dont think normies are really normies, they are schizos yet to bloom

>>309048
why did you decide to come back to your online ways

Paying the bills is easier in 2 so all you need to do is get a boyfriend

Wow.

Americans say the Soviet Union was a huge success.

>>296675
Maybe this has something to do with it.

Each country has their own cost of living situation even though most share the same currency. Northern and southern Europe was always split on the living with parents issue (also on a lot of other issues and some countries like Italy have their own north/south splits). The thing that changed in recent years though was that the upper age limit got higher for both the north and south. Then there is stuff in the graph that isn't accounted for for example luxembourg is filled to the brim with expats because its a tax haven for corporations which explains the inflated number

Nobody can afford to leave their parents house anymore. Even with a 9-5 office job. Fuck this economy

It's irritating to have struggled with what was diagnosed as Asperger's and to not have the resources or support I needed as a kid and yet seeing it turn into a social contagion nightmare. A majority of people that say it with pride probably aren't. Especially the "it's not a disability" crowd. It's been severely disabling for me to the point that I can't function well without support. Shits irritating to me. The amount of toxic people I've dealt with who blame it on "neuro-divergence" to my face have made me distrust most people who try to act wholesome. And the people that try and enable it. Destroys social groups and causes hostility in work environments.

I have been thinking recently about how autism is often said to be underdiagnosed in women due to "presenting differently" in females. My theory is that autism does not actually present differently in girls, it is just treated differently by gender– ignored for girls and coddled for boys. Autistic girls don't "act" autistic because they are actually forced by society to function within it.

Obviously this does not apply to severe cases, but I wonder how many high-functioning autistic boys have actually been stunted by diagnosis; obviously all males are socialized with entitlement and lack of empathy but autistic males moreso. In my opinion, if they were simply raised like autistic girls are (which is to say, just treated normal), they would be able to be more independent and better functioning.

autistic brains don't do "synaptic pruning"
in essence, you make neural connections between different parts of the brain and the unused/unnecessary neurons are supposed to get pruned like the leaves of a shrub

but autism prevents the brain from making itself more efficient, signals from one brain region to another have to take a way longer route than allistic signals to get to where they're needed

this is worse in autistics who were forced to be as "normal" as possible as children because overstimulating the brain will cause lots more initial branches to lay the groundwork for a completely out of control amount of "excess" neural connections

you may wanna look into meditation's effects on grey brain matter because it made the speaking delay shorter for me

also, all of you spiteful neurotypicals literally ruin lives by being impatient and forcible about monotropy especially for autistic children. unless you start killing us (america seems to be about to begin with that) the only way to make it better for everyone is accomodation

>>298830
Normal moids don't pick on autistic women and don't try to shun them, but normal women pick on autistic moids constantly and genuinely get the ick just from their existence. Or of any lower value moid for that matter.

>>308951
Utter bs. Competition between moids and women presents differently - overt vs covert. Moids are competitive towards eachother and bully eachother openly, calling names, showing 0 empathy, being harsh etc. While women play along, show empathy, are there for one another and generally emotiknally available when one is crying or upset, meanwhile on the other side - 'Boys don't cry'.
Regular people can also have meltdowns but learn early on to deal with it differently- women develop more complex ways of addressing those emotions while moids learn to repress them and 'be a man'.

It depends on what country you're in. Of course, being a billionaire CEO of a mutinational corporation will get you a seat at any table. In my country, all you need to join the ruling class is a law degree, public speaking lessons and some wealthy donors who'll bankroll your election campaign in exchange for favourable grants and voting positions. Then you just need to be a soulless, empty suit and serve the interests of millionaire donors until you can do enough insider trading to fund your own multi-million dollar business and perpetuate the cycle.

marry a rich moid

study up on historical figures who went from rags to riches and follow in their footsteps

If you're asking on cc it's already too late.

Americans are so completely insane now that Americans scream banning baseball hats is wonderful because cowboy hat collections will increase in value.

i'll kill him and then kill myself

I'm only scared of dogs in the environment I am but roads I bike on seem safe

>>271395
same, im less scared of dangerous men than stray dogs especially in packs and the occasional bear we have around here. and the government does nothing about this shit.
anyways to answer the question i enjoy running, camping and exploring.
>how do you balance safety with enjoyment if you go out alone?
i think 'YOLO' and just do it

>>309517
This looks more like a scam than a recreational activity aimed at enhancing your well-being
