From experience, it seems to be like detecting the smell of ants. A genetic trait not present on everyone. To me, tofu smells rank, but sliced thin and after I add a splash of full salt soy sauce, it turns out delicious. My dad says the same happens to him.

And trust me, I have tried lots of types of tofu in my life, it is a staple in my diet.

Worked for me, turned gay. Five stars/zero kids.

It is pretty easy to tamper with a condom in invisible ways, from poking holes or letting it expire, to stealthing. Hell, you can even cook the condom at low heat for a while in its package and you will cause significant structural damage to it, without even bruising most packaging.

Even a freshly bought condom and a little sleight of hand can go a long way into tampering. No birth control is trust free.

Turns out one of my favorite bands is that Playlist (Diablo Swing Orchestra), pretty cool of them to release free music under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, TIL.

Stop feeding the troll, that dumbass proved a while ago what I wanted to see, them moving the goalposts, making an inflamatory comment then a few comments later, pretending that they didn’t and they gave a moderate viewpoint.

That dumbass is just looking for the serotonin hit from getting replies.

Have some laughs https://youtu.be/b1QX5erb_p4 , and thank you, comments like yours remind me that I am not insane for feeling the way I do, and remind me that there is still empathy left in the world, you rock.

We all have our tolerance thresholds. Some people can live in a shared apartment with multiple other people, I can not. My health conditions, night terrors, PTSD and a few other things are reasons why I would probably not last long living like that. And I can’t burden my elderly parents, they are barely above the poverty line as it is, plus my dad is still working into his 70s just to make ends meet.

But since I live in a place where the official treatment for drug resistant depression is telling you “You’re just lazy, go pray and stop wasting the state’s resources”, there is not much I can do.

Between the apathy and ridicule from people like you, and the manufactured scarcity and famine the people is living, no wonder the suicide rate is steadily rising pretty much everywhere.

Bitch, you don’t know my life to say I am not oppressed, and I only covered a couple things, because it is not like you are going to read this and change your mind.

Honey, the fact that I am a programmer doesn’t mean I have a job doing that. I am currently earning more as a technical support agent than the best offer I got, after searching for months, ever since my last programming and database management position became redundant thanks to AI.

Plus, the world where programmers work as you say “like, maybe 3 actual hours a day (from home)” has been nearly extinct for almost a decade for most of us.

Same for “lost media” kinda stuff. I would usually find Torrents with seeds for obscure bands from my dad’s old country, that he loves listening to, but nowadays, all that stuff is gone, and no way to purchase the bootleg of a concert in Eastern Europe, in 1992.

Hell, even official albums are hard to get, with being out of press, the rights being lost to the ages and stuff like that. Even with music from when I was young, and I’m not even 40.

Last time I ranted about it, people told me to just find the stuff on YouTube and download it from there, it was atrocious.

I thought it was just Pocahontas with robots, but I had just watched the animated version around a week before I saw the first blue Avatar.

And if you add how Steve Huffman(Reddit’s CEO, AKA u/spez) lied and manipulated information about the API talks, painting the third party developers as greedy, money hungry assholes, then got caught with his pants down when the recorded call was made public, shows how absolutely planned that move was.
