im a weak-willed little worm (i.e. i re-downloaded the dating apps) also why is the most important type of picture the hardest to take a good one of goddammit!!! (clear close up of your face)

almost got me opining on
…not today, sex-positive saboteurs!! 
it would be fucking sick to fall in love
crackers when we internalize the fact we don’t actually have our own continent:
our big beautiful comrades swooping in to cradle us in the embrace of love anyway:
we deserve love but only if we reject the ““European”” construct of whiteness and embrace the fact that we’re northwest Asian
Slay the Princess spoilers
did a second run with more intention with a better understanding of how the decision trees work and man the thorn path is so sweet :‘) it made me so sad when she gets consumed at the end of it
but i guess it’s still part of the main characters’ larger meet cute/relationship origin story after they get to ascend as gods together so i suppose it’s fine loli read that there’s a path that lets you leave with the princess and start a life together that rejects godhood but i couldn’t find that one. also the adversary path is weirdly wholesome in a horny way as well lol, they both just really like boning each other (which fighting to the death is obviously a stand-in for). also also ngl adversary and tower princess could make me do anything they asked
and spectre princess made me want to give her a hug, she’s just very sad and nice
SoylentSnake dont have a panic attack every time you need to take a long car ride with other people (subsequently ruining plans) challenge: impossible
fr though sometimes i really feel like my bad shitty brain is just built to let people down. how do i talk to people abt how something as prosaic & everyday & frequently necessary as being stuck in a cramped car with others is an anxiety trigger and expect them to at all sympathize?

being hung up on someone sux but in a way that can be oddly life-affirming so id say dont judge your feelings and just let shit rock for as long as that feels true. the megathread is for oversharing, anyway. and if i remember past posts correctly, you got cut off after either a real or perceived fuck up? yeah that kinda shit sticks with you and can be super upsetting (both being cut off by someone and also feeling like you hurt someone close to u). so spit ur truth, i dont think anyone is bothered.
maybe its just the fact that winter is the least social time of year, but the world seems to be convincing me more and more that the apps are the only way to meet someone (despite having zero success on them, feeling like being on them was dragging my soul across glass, and despite being measurably less miserable in the month or so ive had them deleted…)
on its face youd think so…but late capitalism has destroyed the types of spaces people used to meet away from work and the home. plus the longer people spend in loneliness, the more distrustful and ill-socialized they become, so even if you want to make connections you lack the skillset or feeling of safety to do so. and also everyones overworked and only has so much time and energy for their friends. and also we’re all encouraged culturally to see people as means to an end rather than an end in themselves (b/c again, capitalism). and also…(yeah its a multifaceted problem, and being able to correctly diagnose it unfortunately doesn’t help to alleviate it immediately)
last night i was literally
and had a minor breakdown about my loneliness…
have a family obligation that’s gonna eat my whole weekend :/ ah well, gonna use some leave Monday so I get a day to myself. got some writing done at work today also so its not all bad. do think im gonna cave and have a nightcap tonight though, despite having to get up early tomorrow…
bring a family abolition vibe to that workplace that the bosses don’t really like
ugh the notes i have to send this person on their writing are going to be so withering, i really would rather just not do this b/c there’s only so nice i can be in this instance. hate this kind of situation mane…
i’m not sure. i actually recently mentally ran through all my friends and recent former friends who are in relationships, and i think the split was about 70/30 in favor of people who met their SOs through non-app means. and a lot of the app relationships started before they were as enshittified as they are now. but on the other hand, even my friends who found love through other means, were using the apps in addition to other avenues. so i’m just not sure either way tbh.
