  • Be somebody that the person you want, wants to be with. Don’t be a piece of shit that nobody wants to be around. Take care of yourself properly. As fun as cute helpless stinky dumb puppy is, most people are struggling enough on their own and don’t have the resources to take care of another person. Some do, but everybody has their limits. Go to therapy. Commit arson. Take a shower. Brush your teeth. Drink more water. And yeah, put yourself out there. You can do it!





  • I haven’t used gel or spray.

    I have used patches though. Patches are difficult when you need to bathe because they generally stay on for a week and as soon as you get them wet, they’re toast. Also they’re little pieces of adhesive stretchy plastic that leave residue on skin and can suck to take off if your skin is sensitive.


  • Absolutely agree. Unfortunately, too many people bend that second part into willful ignorance, refusing to ask, “forgetting”, or it just becoming the default for anybody not known to be cis, even if their gender is wildly obvious.

    I used to have a friend that worked in HR who would always call me them and they, even though I’d told him numerous times my pronouns are she/her, and he would always defensively come back that since he worked in HR it’s just how he operates, and then refused to ever refer to me as she or her.

    It’s dehumanizing and transphobic and we see right through the bullshit. It’s super obvious and you aren’t being clever.

    People: if you don’t know, just ask. If you refuse or neglect to ask and keep doing this after more than just the first meeting somebody, you’re very likely a piece of shit. Don’t lean on this. Too many people here are defensively leaning on this.





  • “Politics” or “the way one sees the world”?

    Because I’m pretty sure there’s a language disconnect regarding worldview.

    A dev has their game reflect their worldview, and a social curmudgeon experiences political rhetoric cognitive dissonance, illustrating the incongruency and the fact that they are, indeed, a tool. ARRGHHH MUH FREEDOMS

    PROTIP: to put a tiny bit of spicy in your hot chocolate. Not enough that you can taste, but just enough that you can just barely faintly feel it in the back of your throat, as it enhances the sweetness without relying on salt. I generally do like a micro-pinch or cayenne powder, since that’s the easiest and what I generally have on hand consistently.

    If you can taste spicy, it’s too much.






  • I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with everybody else. I don’t like it. I generally don’t speak up for myself in real life, but it does bother me deeply. There’s no great solution, this is just my honest opinion that it makes me uncomfortable and I’m trying to not be this way but it does actually bother me.

    Like. What do you even think this comic is trying to tell you? It’s EXACTLY like the comic, which is why it is highly upvoted.

    Also, it is not gender neutral, it is more complicated than that and much more problematic. “You want to get fucked by ten dudes” is not gender neutral.
