Random Rants LV: The Joy of Ranting

[choxorn]

I don't see what that would do for me...

 

[Tee Kay]

I have another one of those days where I don't want to engage with the world at all.

 

[JohannaK]

I tend to always assume people are just friendly with me, because I can never tell. That does mean that I never get sadly rejected like The J did, but only because I never try. After all, trying is the first step towards failure.

That is the other half of what got me into trouble when I was jokingly flirtatious with this girl who apparently was flirtatious for real. I mean who would want to be with a boring lazy dick as myself?

In the end you will have to try with the friendly people.

 

[Hygro]

My lizard brain is upset with me. Lizard brain is calling me various un-pc pejoratives. Lizard brain hurts my feelings. EPH YOU LIZARD BRAIN.

Dog brain be like "Yeah yeah I think lizard brain is right"

Ape brain be like "just sweet talk and turn on your game. Show your muscles too chicks love muscles. Thennnn get back to work"

Human brain is like "everyone quiet. Eye on the prize, get in line, we gonna take this one to overdrive before we can take this live and get down and jive then high five" cuz that's what friends would do afterward I imagine.

Lizard brain like "I'm the reason you can freestyle. suck my disposable tail"

Human brain like "this post doesn't make sense anymore"

 

[JohannaK]

What the actual focker.

 

[Hygro]

Okay, so in pop-science you have like, four evolved brain regions that are fairly distinct that occurred at different times. They are colloquially your lizard brain, your simple mammal/shrew/dog brain, your advanced mammal/ape brain, and your human brain (the prefrontal cortex). Sometimes the ape brain and the human brain are merged into a 3 brain model. Anyway, they have different motivations.

 

[JohannaK]

I see.

 

[GenMarshall]

Saw heresy on the raves thread :|.

 

[JohannaK]

Saw pony-hating in the raves thread.

 

[Takhisis]

JoanK, Raves thread is that way ---->

 

[The_J]

Well, you see, some people are simply more open, more extroverted, and just because they are talking to you doesn't mean they're hitting on you. They might just be being friendly.

Sure, sure...still disappointing :/.

Nope, not trying is a failure. Because you can't succeed if you don't try.


Oh, yeah, means I'll also try again my Kroation neighbour this Sunday again, maybe I have more luck this time.
And on Wednesday the Mexican girl at the classical dance.
For the Salsa lesson, there it will depend who's present and how it goes in general ^^.
It's all about stochastics. If you try often enough, then at some point it'll work ^^.

I'm getting older and older. Had an all-you-can-eat buffet and it's not like what it used to be.

Plus I still feel it hours later.

Teenage metabolism is going away, but I still can't grow my beard

Anyways, in the discussion of women, there are far too many like 25-34 year old attractive women that I see, can't help but notice "huh they're good looking", then their kid shows up or something a minute later.

 

[Borachio]

It's when you see a 34 year old woman with her mother, and you realize you're more attracted to the mother...

Now, that's crossing some kind of rubicon.

But yeah, realizing that the object of your interest already has children is an earlier one.

Yeah... I know... I just wish trying was something I could figure out how to do...

 

[Tee Kay]

There's really loud lawnwork, or drilling, or something earsplittingly mechanical, going on for three hours now.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

It's so nice to have a stomachache with nausea and be hungry at the same time. It's like my stomach can't decide between "FEED ME" and "I'll regurgitate anything you give me"

I'm assuming you feel okay now, but if this happens in future, eat a few unsalted soda crackers. They satisfy the "feed me" demand and help combat the acid problem.

At least that prevents some problems ^^.

What exactly?
You just need to go somewhere where you meet women (I don't go to language + dance classes without a reason), then you need to talk to them (that's why courses are great, because you just will), and then you need to get your balls together and ask them if they'd like to do something at another time point.
Isn't that hard, really.

Yea, I've had to regret a doughnut in the morning for several years now. Just... not worth. Looking forward, at least high fiber cereals taste better than they used to.

The women with kids thing is something you pretty much have to deal with I think. You can avoid interacting hanging with moms/milfs, but that's probably limiting your options for a bad reason. Not that young moms/milfs really have much time to be hanging.

Nope, her flatmate just told me she's spending her weekend in another city, together with her boyfriend.
Goddammit !

So, the next problem: What am I going to do tonight?
Guess work might again be the best option.
(slightly related: Got some new project dumped on me. Hell yeah, more of it )

Cracked isn't perhaps the best place to restraint yourself from yelling profanities along the lines "what the hell humanity", especially after you've done that the entire day.
