It's an old game on wallstreet. Like Worldcom.

Change the fucking name.

It even has itself positioned in "The Wire".

But since US-Americans mostly are morons and illiterate bullies i'm writing into the void here.

I know. And i'm ok with it.

Because English in fact is only my third language.

Sparks set fire. So no reason to not spark.

This is so ridiculous. They want to get people hooked on living in a VR Matrix-esque world. I just don't see VR ever getting widespread adoption like that because essentially it's just wearing a monitor with shitty resolution on your head. That's fine for a game but it's never going to replace real life, or even checking a person's phone as a more popular option for social media, and it sounds like FB is really banking hard on this.

I think FB just jumped the shark.

Also from a design/marketing perspective, FB is really easy to write with only two characters and you know exactly what it means. Meta takes twice as long to type and it already means something that will conflict with tons of search results. If you google meta [video game] are you looking at strategy or their FB page?

It already has, Neo.

Well, I still jerk off manually.

In the matrix. Sex may not even exist in the real world. I hope it doesn't, it's partly responsible for ruining my life.

You catch space aids or something?

I got the unlucky chromosome that devotes everything about you to sex (and work and fighting but that's an extension of sex) and makes you miserable in exchange for making you better at those things. Then I also got asexuality somehow, then autism that makes me have special interests and passions I'm incapable of because of male specialized design, and extreme emotional sensitivity and sense of justice on top of that. And it makes people regard me as a disposable machine and disregard my needs even if I'm on the brink of suicide.

I don't know how all the other boys and men even tolerate this, let alone embrace it and expect others to. Bluepilled coping I guess, which I'm sadly not capable of.

What you do is just take those feelings, squish them into a little ball, and keep them deep inside yourself. Try not to think about it. Things just are, it's not always fair, but you can't do anything about it and worrying about things you can't do anything about is not productive.

I think therapy got it all wrong. Talking about your feelings just leads to dwelling on immutable things. And being a sensitive man is not the good quality perhaps you had been led to believe.

I know, you hate being a dude. I remember.

even if I'm on the brink of suicide.

You remind me of my friend who jumped off a building. It seemed like he was afraid of living, so he killed himself. There's a logical incongruity to that. At that point you should be able to say fuck it, and do what you want (I mean no mass shootings, that's shitty) but you literally have nothing left to lose if you're going to end it anyways.

Also, do you smoke weed?

I remember watching some random YouTube video that said something along the lines of how if your're constantly reprocessing shit you're basically retraumatizing yourself and that's not really helpful. I don't think that's true for everyone but it made a lot of sense to me. I think therapy is good but it's mainly for people who are good at verbally processing their feelings (not me).

You reminded me of this, it's a new type of magnetic brain stimulation. The sample size is ridiculously tiny but it might have the benefits of ECT without all the pesky horrible effects.

I can't. I think it's part of having autism but I can't just let things go like neurotypicals can, especially not this big. I've never been able to control my emotions.

And being a sensitive man is not the good quality perhaps you had been led to believe.

People say that's good? I don't know what universe you're living in, but here men are expected to never have any emotions; too sad and we're violating the restriction of men not being allowed support; too happy and we're being self-indulgent when we could be slaving for society. Yet women are allowed everything. Nevertheless, I can't help it. I am extremely sensitive by nature, nothing I can do about it. Even if I could, it would be living a lie, because it's not who I am.

I know, you hate being a dude. I remember.

I bet you would too, if you knew what I know.

The problem is that mostly it's not merely other people; my own biology, the way my brain is structured, prevents me from doing or even thinking and feeling what I want. I am disposable due to my sex, therefore my life does not matter, but what I do for my tribe, and my body and brain work with that framework. Society's expectations of me are bad enough but those are only a secondary problem.

Also, do you smoke weed?

No.

Been there, done that. Not going into details, but have suffered whole life.

Over 50 now, finally DGAF.

CBD oil & walking my dogs helped tremendously. Anything to get you out from behind a screen.

If you want more advice from someone who lived just like what you described (bouncer in titty bars for years and chef there too.) message me.
