  • Live your best life yo, and have fun doing you. It would be cool to be young and know everything again.

    You don’t engage with new communities, neat. I like to keep an eye open, because out of infinity - 1000, there are still infinite communities I MIGHT like. Or even infinite - 2000 I don’t like too. Look at all the math I can do. Here’s an emoji 😍. Shut up, dude. Tell all your friends how well you know yourself, your perspective is still fucking stupid.

    Belittled because, here on the net, you are little. Just like everyone else.



  • How do you know what new things you have no interest in? I block the stuff I don’t like, I sub what I definitely do like (and occasionally browse it), and the rest I am happy to watch pass by and give up- or downvotes accordingly.

    This is like asking “why would you go to a new website when you already know what you like?” Or “why would you go to a new place to look for friends or dates when you know you like people at XXX place?”.

    Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.











  • The pro tip that we had to give out in college for the newcomers to the ballroom team every semester to mitigate body odor (edit: done in exactly this order):

    1. Shower with soap.
    2. Apply deodorant with antiperspirant.
    3. Put on clean clothes.

    You would be surprised how many people in college don’t understand the nuances of these points. Or other basically accepted hygiene practices of the area. For example, cologne or perfume is not “deodorant”. Also, most things are not clean after you wear them (esp if you sweat), and dont become clean again until they are laundered. You may also notice we had to specify “with soap” for a shower.

    The bit about antiperspirant is not strictly necessary, but nobody wants to put their hand near or accidentally in a sweaty pit.
