I am single, live alone, no kids or pets. I work remote from home. I don’t even listen to music with lyrics any more. I use self checkouts, online ordering and tap to pay as much as possible. I wave to my neighbors and the mail man and that’s all the interaction we have with each other. I play video games solo or play solo video games now.

As a result of all of this, I have gone full days in a row without using my voice at all and quite frequently. The only time I ever speak is if I place a food order over the phone or a drive thru window. None of this is intentional, it just happens and happens more and more frequently as I get older.

Am I lonely? Not at all. I still communicate with coworkers, friends and family via text, Google Chat or MS Teams. This is all the communication I require with other people nowadays.

I wasn’t always like this. I used to be outspoken and an extrovert. I was opionated, a conversationalist and a singer in a band. I had a bunch of friends from high school and college that I hung around with quite a lot. We’d party, converse, the usual. I played a large number of raids in various video games and had a lot of online friends. These activities required voice chat.

However, over the years, people in general just started to piss me off, annoy or disgust me more and more. At some point in the past 10-15 years, Americans have lost humility - their ability to be embarrassed. There is no shame any more. There’s no emphasis on doing the right thing for the right reasons. Everyone and everything is just petty, self-serving, ignorant, egocentric, demeaning and hateful. It’s rare when I find someone in real life worth conversing with these days, so I don’t even bother trying. And it seems no one else is trying either.

I just prefer to not participate in real conversations any more. It’s a peaceful existance being an observer and a remote participant in society. I often wonder how many others there are like me. Not that I’d want to meet them, just curious if they’re out there.

To answer your question though, life would still go on just fine. We no longer need to talk to each other now that we have so many other alternative forms of communication available to us.

Sony is choosing to support Marathon over Destiny 2.

Hey, OP. Stop talking so much shit!

When you tell them that you love them, and their response is, how can you say you love me when you don’t know God? To her, because I don’t believe in God, my notion of love is different than her’s and it’s meaningless. Essentially when I told her I loved her, my version of love didn’t involve God in any way or have any reference to God’s love, so it’s not as powerful.

The funny part is, we’re no longer together because she cheated on me with another so-called Christian.

My hair stylist sister said that this is actually just hair extensions.

You can see where her real hair ends in her extensions. Begin.

For me I have this effect with pickles. Just thinking about eating a pickle makes me salivate like crazy.

What you can’t say is “somebody was murdered to death”.

Because life in the U.S. is all shit after high school.

Question. If you have a rabbit freely running around the house, doesn’t that mean you’re going to have little shit balls all over the place? I’ve had rabbits in the past and I’ve never been able to properly potty train one to only shit in one place before. Rabbits don’t really control their shit like other animals do, at least not 100%.

I recently got Permabanned from Reddit because I reshared the Alex Pretti video back when that was happening. They also banned every other account for every person in my household because of their fingerprinting service going overboard.

Fuck Reddit.

Anyone have a non-nazi-supporting website with this information?

I crave Giardiniera all the damn time. At night I eat a bunch of it with a couple of beers, but I think about eating it all day long.

It’s sort of crazy that the U.S. had intelligence on where El Mencho would be that deep into Mexico, but the Mexican government was unaware. Jalisco isn’t just across the border, it’s deep in Mexico.

It would be a shame if they had a smoking incident on that ship.

Fuck Israel and fuck Donald Trump’s desire to go to war. And this dipshit thought he should get a Nobel Peace Prize? SMH.

As an American, I hate America even more.

What are some examples of some TV shows that you can no longer stream or buy?

Just wondering if I’m the only one who thought this was talking about the character Leon Black from Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Jessica fucking Rabbit

Waste of time. Now I’m 46, no kids, never married. Couldn’t be happier.
