Maybe the Saudi investors who own him have finally called in the favor and told him it's time to put an end to the EV transition...

Polnareff?

Fascinating. Didn't know that!

I was only there a month. I can't claim to be any kind of expert. But I do know I wound up eating two sausages.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Czech Republic, where apparently holding up a single index finger means 2.

I suppose that's a fair point. I can't make the claim I know that.

All I'm saying is, when people post these kinds of things, they're likely not looking for platitudes or advice. If they wanted that, the title of the post would've been "someone help me". It's okay to let people vent about a situation that sucks for them without telling them all of the things you think they should be doing differently.

Okay, maybe this is true.

It's also possible you're talking to someone in the long tail of that bell curve who is already taking care of themselves. You are making a lot of assumptions and your attempt to push responsibility onto him when he may in fact be in the lowest percent of that bell curve, and if he is, your well-intentioned controversial opinion is like throwing salt in his wounds.

People always just assume they can do this with this problem. If someone has mental health issues, they tell them to seek help. If someone has physical issues, they tell them to see a doctor. If they have relationship issues, "Oh, it's all your fault, man. Work on yourself." even in the absence of ANY evidence.

I know it's uncomfortable to think about the people in that bottom 1% of the bell curve who are completely helpless and overwhelmed, but victim blaming isn't a good way to deal with it.

I don't know... is real-life Guinan even aware the interaction with Nexus Guinan happened?

Absolutely right. Your time at 40 when you've got responsibilities, a full-time job (or two), TIME ITSELF is going more quickly for you, and you have generally less energy is NOT the same as when you're young and have more or less limitless capacity for this kind of thing.

Although it's a popular sentiment among 20 year olds who think their energy is going to last forever, or 30 year olds who have good enough genes where they're not slowing down yet.

That's not to say it's impossible. Some people can do it. But the number of people with that energy drops PRECIPITOUSLY with age.

But it's nice of the wholesome comic to tell you that if you're getting older, and your energy is reducing like every single generation of humans in the history of time, and you don't have the capacity or energy left to do everything you want, that's a personal failing and it's your fault and you should feel shame.

This captcha actually works perfectly because Odo isn't human.

Honestly, caution about this kind of scam online needs to be part of education from an early age in the modern world. You simply can't trust young kids to figure things out on their own when the stakes are potentially this high. Yes, you should be immediately suspicious at a private message out of the blue from someone you don't know. Always assume the worst. Sure, it's an incredibly harsh worldview, but it's no different than the "never talk to strangers" we already teach.

Rasmussen polls always tilt a few points slightly Republican for some reason. It's not necessarily malicious, but something in their methodology.

That dog wouldn't even ask. It is CLEARLY using OSX.

If you're realistic about that disappointment, this is a feature, not a downside.

Totally get you, man.

But being in the exact same boat many years down the line from you, only continue not swiping if you're okay with eventually being completely dead inside, unable to find joy in any part of your life anymore, having difficulty leaving your own house, and plagued day in and day out with regret. If you really want to be alone, it's fine, but the very fact you're on Tinder at all is telling. If you really want somebody, the loneliness WILL absolutely fuck you up irreparably.

This club has plenty of empty seats. Hope you don't end up in one.
