Okay. Thank you for clearing it up.

I absolutely believe we can be happy whether on our own in some form of relationship.

But my approached topic is about our ability to hold unto long-term relationships. If we could, i believe we would choose intimacy with another person over the peacefulness of solitude.

You say it’s tiring to be around other people and that’s fine, but objectively it’s still a personal failing. If you feel attacked, it’s because you also recognize it as such.

You’re happy where you are and it’s great, but isn’t it you’re making your happiness because you wouldn’t find it otherwise?

This is the general direction of my point.

You have more fun on your own. You’ve only had shit relationships. You’ve mastered faking social interactions. Congratulations! You’re socially inept.

Or in other words, you want it, but couldn’t have it, so you gave up on it and make due with superficial feel-good.

Whatever the reasons we might lie to ourselves with, the inability to form meaningful connections remains. Just don’t mistake giving up on it for the option not existing at all.

That’s an attempt to positively spin our growing incapability of creating and maintaining an intimate long-term relationship.

Wanting to be single sounds better than socially incompetent.

That other than a niche we specialize in, we’re pretty fucking dumb at everything else.

I look up in the sky and see something… fucky.

You mean like step-sister stuck or two different vowels gaining sentience and expressing themselves stuck?

The screenshot is obviously wrong. People will make fun of anyone for anything, anywhere and anytime. Problem is the disagreement on what’s acceptable.

In my memory, the term was not used kindly even during its peak.

It might be. Depends on the people really. Hopefully there will be a good example to follow.

Don’t be bald around them and you’re good.

How dare you bring reason and nuance to the conversation? You damn centrist! It’s you and people like you that embolden the right in their shenanigans! Only by not tolerating this intolerant symbolism can we rid ourselves of these fascist cults!

Or so the story goes…

As I’ve seen it said many times on Lemmy for many nostalgia moments and am also quite surprised no one said to to you yet (they probably got tired of repeating it…), people yearning for the good old times are the privileged white patriarchy class.

Be ashamed, be very ashamed. Tsk. Tsk.

Ck3 with the plague mechanics does this. The base game has some default settings that absolutely wrecks everything once plagues get going and only having the DLC can change those settings.

Any society needs resources. In order for a society to grow or maintain itself, their consumption of resources must not exceed the production of it. Should we pursue a society that doesn’t depend on the heavy exploitation of resources, it would mean to severely limit the reproduction of its population within the society’s means of sustaining them. Our planet does not have the capability to sustain our current 8 billion population.

Many of us will die and after that many would be restricted in their rights for procreation.

As such, while those societies might be pleasant for some humans, the ones it needs to get rid of to achieve its desired status won’t be too happy with it needing them gone.

Their shadow imprinted on a ruin will have a winning pose.

No day like today to remember you’re old now.

Sad part is this is a general human trait, but the commenter and their supporters fail to understand that by attributing it to a specific race, they unwittingly become the racists they so claim to despise.

This can get complicated when you know that the “No” can actually mean “Yes, but I don’t want to get annoyed any further”.
