On both, even!

So there's going to be several things compounding here. One is loneliness. Another might be equating chastity with morality. And there's expecting adolescent boys to not be gross horny idiots.

Find a community IRL or online that's into what you like or take up a hobby that puts you into a group regularly. No loner things, you can do those anytime. Something away from school and separate from your sister would be good. I had luck with martial arts when I got to college, but it can be tough when you're young to get to a physical place if you don't have reliable transportation.

People saying awful things doesn't go away with age, but it can be a good indicator of who you don't want to be around. And if they're the kind of people you can't respect, then you don't have to respect their opinions either. I've also always gotten along better with women; hanging out with them more may or may not cut down on the amount of conversations you find abhorrent.

If you're having a lot of trouble with your emotions regarding this sort of thing, you may want to speak with a therapist. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, they just tend to be able to put the right tools in the hands of people that need them.

I hope that helps. That's a rough age to be, but it can probably be better than how it is for you. And I hope it becomes so.

Aggressively friendly is a good way to put it. I'm the type of person to keep the house temp at 80°F and my sphynx still wants to cuddle. He'd be out in the sun on a warm rock in 100° weather if he could, though, but I think he just enjoys the company, too.

Finally you can post while you shit while you shitpost.

The ones I've tried are always too warm. Anybody have advice for cooler ones?

I've played Beyond the Beyond so I'm amazed there's a worse RPG for the og PlayStation. Will have to take a peek at it.

You don't like chocolate covered pretzels?

Nobody. The last one must remain on the plate. Anyone who goes for it gets admonished.

An idiot Pokemon master.

He just needs some coffee.

Is that why? TIL.

Given how people reacted to pineapple pizza, toothpaste pizza is going to get so much hate from people who won't even try it.

Even Ash couldn't pass the identification test and he still managed to become a master.

A symbol for what? The mask has been used by both the left and right in the US. Just protesting and power in numbers generally? Alas, the presidential election is not determined by popular vote. What would it mean to somebody who saw it at the polling location? Probably there's some weirdo here. What politician would notice it? Absolutely zero.

Mobilization for what? I think you're missing something important with that idea.

No. Though it's been used in recent times during all sorts of protests, its meaning and what kinds of protests in appears at are all over the map. It was even used by some during the January 6th insurrection. It's also appeared alongside a fedora often enough that it gives me a little cringe to see it outside of an organized protest. If you really want to make a difference, get involved in an organization instead of fantasizing about being some lone wolf that takes down an individual to magically solve systemic problems. If you need to hide your face at a protest, try something that doesn't provide royalties to a huge corporation.

If it's got cultural context, I'm not sure of it, but otherwise it looks like it's just got a theme of incompleteness that the brain fills in similar to some optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. The man has no legs, the chair is incomplete, the table's top edge isn't there, the nose.

I do notice some decoration on the collar and shoulders that might point to it being a specific person. Do you know which issue it is from 67?

Yesterday. Gotta grep those logs.

Yes. Things change eternally and I can't keep up. The things I have experience with go away and I became a noob with the new stuff. Some things carry over, many things do not. Lots of things only come with experience.

Luckily, there are many professional prosthesis that I use to lessen that. For programming, that's things like linters, automation checks, peer reviews, etc. I'd suck 80 times worse than I do now if I didn't have all those tools.
