  • Fan grill to prevent penile injuries? The thought of The fans falling off, or standing up full mast. Is giving me anxiety. But i dunno the rpm so it might not be fast enough to cause damage.

    Additionally a tube with a funnel like attachment to the fans could direct the airflow directly into your pants. If you wear pants while racing that is. no judgement.


  • Lets say your worst fears are correct and this “female”, is trying to keep you as an orbiter. Get over yourself, you had no claim to her time.

    She was willing to spend time with you before, probably because she thought you were genuinely interested in her platonically and wanted you as a close friend. You caught feelings and are blaming her for her actions and assigning motives to easily explainable actions. you crossed the line, and she pulled away. Shes a social person and wanted many friends. Even if she was interested in you at some point, you said/did something that superseded that. Maybe she felt like you werent reaching out to her enough. but my guess is using the word female unironically to describe a person.

    Seems to me that she “Intended” to hop online, play some games and talk to strangers. You should probably back off and re-evaluate how you view people especially women.

    Heres a song, very relevent to your situation.


  • Yeah! great read if you have the time. It can be used to explain alot of things since its a very open take on going from a state of ignorance or naivety to “seeing the light”. I think its an important read, since people still in the “cave” are hard if not impossible to “convince” with such a limited perspective on reality.

    I further interpret this to mean If we want to pull our fellow man out of the cave, we have to help change their perspective and meet them where they are in their journey out.




  • The news is a propaganda machine designed to output a dual-pronged attack ironically outlined by your post. For skeptics like yourself the constant stream of misinfo will have you fact checking senseless data that you instinctively know to be true or false based on observation, wasting your time. however when presented in the news or by aquaintences It challenges you to correct them, this is a job for a team of the same magnitude as the news stations themselves.

    For the indoctrinated Its just a constant echochamber of new info that helps fortify new or previously fabricated info, and gives them talking points to repeat to anyone even minorly skeptical of the regime.

    Your experience with your friend IS part of the manipulation. the only way out is to attempt to focus on what is local to you and within your control (dont ignore the macro issues obviously just try not to focus on them). Getting involved with local politics, speak with real people and rather than attacking their facts. Attack their logic, similarly to how you are trying to get your friend understand her bias and where that stems from.

    being a victim of propaganda, being religeous, being part of a subculture, having unresloved trauma, having children, never being properly taught logic or Epistemology (edit:this word is so important cant believe i forgot it.), all of these and more contribute to bias.

    To answer your question, there are organizations that do fact checking but im also skeptical of those because who watches the watchers? How do they afford to exist? Do the fact checkers have bias themselves? Its a never ending cycle of bullshit.

    No doom and gloom though (they want you to feel defeated) because there is still tons to appreciate, so many people are waking up. Lots of individuals attacking “the system” from every possible angle all across the world. All it takes is some mildly uncomfortable conversations with the people you care about, and patience, LOTS of patience.


  • I cannot find it, but my gf showed me this tiktok where a person made an extremely compentent remix within the fortnite music mode. It was a completely original work made of songs within fortnite it was very impressive. All that is to say Im not a fan of low effort work when just a small amount more could turn it into something new and interesting. Monitizing it is just an extra fu imo.

    I do get what youre saying about struggling for money, but even so ive seen street artists with some insane talent and or ingenuity. Im of the belief that everyone can practice at something and make a living off of it even if its something wed consider mundane like… sweeping a floor. Im going to look up a professional sweeper right now on youtube and find someone with insane skill. And im sure the same is true with any task or art.








  • I hate this, and I will now say this in public settings to make people uncomfortable with me. Thank you

    Other phrases on this list include classics such as.

    “Trees are just logs with branches on both sides.”

    “Snakes are just heads with tails.”

    “Cupcakes should have icing on the sides too for them to be cakes.”

    “Step aside mortals”

    “Good Luck and bad luck are the same thing, just a matter of perspective.” (love when they ask for me to elaborate on this one)

    “Ants fought and died for this land!”

    “Ever think about entropy?”

    “Do you think wed survive at this speed?” In a car, plane etc or if theyve heard the phrase from me before say it again when moving at a snails pace.

    “I wonder if theres a horton that can hear us whos.”

    “The devs really fucked this one up.” in response to real world bad news implying we exist in a simulation

    respond “NO” agressively with a straight face to very innocuous and polite requests, quickly smile and say “problem at all, ill do that right away” then do what they asked

    I have more but they are contextual and dont spring to mind.

    “Thanks for coming to my ted talk”
