Youre rude to the goth barista because you hate service employees. I am rude to her because I want her to spit in my drink. We are not the same.
I love how the Goth barista was so popular she became a recurring character

What advice do you have for dating in 2026?
2mon 2d ago in ask@piefed.socialI think this answer varies depending on how old you are. A 16 year old asking for dating advice is different from a 25 year old is different from a 34 year old.
When I was in my 20s I did a lot of sleeping around on apps. I had some personal tragedy, and being a slut was a way toxicly masculine society approved of a man expressing grief, especially since the hellscape of private insurance meant that it was a few years til I could afford to speak to a therapist.
I learned a lot of harsh lessons on apps. People will ghost you for no reason, even after a few weeks of sleeping together. Maybe you said something you didn't think about, maybe they got a better offer, maybe it has nothing to do with you. That's if you're lucky, like I was, and got matches. The algorithm is harsh also, and these things become skinner boxes for incels (its no mistake the concept of "sexual market value" arose from the generation who learned courtship on these things). You take it too personal, or start looking at this system as a game to be optimized, and your already lost. I also callously ghosted some people, especially when they got too close. Maybe these were good fit.
In any case you learn to pick yourself up and move on. But you also learn to not to get too attached or invested. Which is obviously not a good lesson when it comes to relationships. Still there are some good lessons. In your 20s, you have to invest in yourself as a person. You'll go to school, sure, but sometimes your degree isn't really proof you know how to do something. So get out there and learn to do something. An artform, sure, like an instrument, or dance, but also any hobby that is not being mediocre at video games and shouting at a screen until the wee hours. Plenty of girls like anime, or D&D, or other traditionally "geeky" hobbies. The biggest thing you can do to up your game is learn to cook. Cooking and Writing have ingratiated me to most of my partners.
Literally anything to put you in front of real human beings in a social context.
The other thing I will say is that you're 20s is for finding out what works for you sexually. Do you want someone to hit you? Tickle your feet? Shove something into your urethra? Do you have preferences for specific ethnicities or sizes? Do you get sprung when you see a posterior of a certain size? These are things you need to know about yourself, before you can start screening for a prospective partner who can check these boxes.
If you are in your 30s or older, apps have nothing to offer you at all. You should know by now what you like and what you do not. You really shouldn't be looking for hook ups, especially with partners ten to fifteen years your junior, (unless you just got divorced and you need to prove yourself you still have it... the apps will not validate you). That assumes the apps do what they advertise, which they do not. They are there to annoy you into paying for premium services. The gender imbalance on something like Tinder is 80-20 (in case you were wondering where the incels got that number from) and its unknown how many of those are bots, or sex workers. Hook up apps, in this day and age, translate to a deluge of dick picks to any femme presenting user.
The last one I used was OKC, and that was in 2020. I was ghosted and I just decided I would rather be single. And I was, for about 5 years. I went on a few dates here and there but it didn't go anywhere. I'm dating someone now and its going on 6 months. I really happy.
So I guess the last thing to say is, just learn to be okay being single. Keep accumulating experience, both in sexual matters and in life, and just understand that you might just be single and that's okay. When the right one comes, you'll know.
It's literally the guy's actual face
2mon 2d ago in leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com from lemmy.caOh my god, I am not disagreeing with the fact that genocide is bad and Israel is doing it. Tarring all Jews with the brush of Zionism is something both zionists and nazis do. Surely you understand the statement, not all Jews are Zionist? And just how much of your ass is showing with an extremely racist, racialized meme?
Whew lad, literal nazi behavior
Yeah. I remember episode of Chappo Trap House where they were making fun of Itamar Ben Gvir's name, and I just turned it off and unsubbed. Like, as an antifascist Jew, who grew up in these spaces, yeah there were always Jewish fascists and zionists, but like Peyot and names like that are just normal. Just like, wtf, you guys are just showing their whole ass.
These points will rust up on you like that [Easy]
