I feel that for many people it simply comes more naturally.

It’s a seamless scale and I just presume I’m missing some receptors others have socially so I have to compensate with templates.

Yes, people all have to learn what is what in which society and what situation or environment. I think it’s a major difference in constant self reflection others dont have that much and how raw data arrives. For me its like I perceive things slighty differently than most and I have to first convert it to a alternative viewport to make it fit properly.

Small differences can have a big impact on if something is awkward or normal.

Yes. So very yes. I’m over 40 now and have most social situations set as templates or template variations, but as a teenager and young adult it was hard to get the unspokenly expected responses and reactions right.

These days I got it all covered so well that I have anyone and everyone so convinced that I am an extrovert that they actually laugh when I suggest I’m in truth an introvert and more.

I still am overly self conscious too much, especially AFTER any interactions, reflecting way too much on how I might have come over, seemed, what was too much, not enough, etc.

It’s a mask I can no longer turn off as it’s automated and its very exhausting.

But it works… Based on my observations.

Well, yea, though that would suggest a very limited bandwidth

Lol. You seem to project your personal insecurities a lot here dude.

If I’d want to be feeling like a woman I wouldn’t see that as something I would have to hide. Lol. Even less on an anonymous random internet thread.

Weirdo!

No, nonono. There is a difference between upstream and downstream. The upload would not make general use noticeably slower.

Hell yea. Playing a woman means I can look at a woman all the time I play.

Why would I want to stare at a man the entire game long.

Too many influential and very rich on there most likely. Among all the Republicans probably also a few democrats because we know there are quite a few assholes among those too.

Food prices are obviously always a problem. Basic needs are always a problem if not accessible properly.

Though even as a non American I do notice that there is clearly less loud bitching, fingerpointing and blame getting tossed around. At least not in a jerk agressive way.

My guess is that it really is because those loud annoying people are trump supporters who now keep their mouths shut.

All this tells me is that he is rich enough to not care about a job and just take a sabbatical until the commotion has died down.

Its all just not wanting to deal with other humans.

Or even better, lets change society and work to something that just fits well together and where work is not slavery with extra steps.

That I can easily agree on.

Though the reality is that the the e-scooter usage has not led to significantly less cars on the road. Instead they mostly replaced bikes, public transport and walking. Numbers vary from country to country and city to city of course so this is a generalized average.

This means though that they are not making anything better but instead making it all worse because I do not recall ever having had this much trouble with badly parked bikes in the past, even in a big and bike heavy city like mine.

So while the concept is great it fails because they don’t replace cars but instead just add another way of ruining public spaces ON TOP OF the fucking cars.

I regard it as a question of scale.

Cars are problematic due to how people use them. That they are used senselessly, agressively, carelessly.

Thats why there are so many rules and fines around cars. Fines that are nowhere near as strong as they should be.

And those same attitude people driving cars in bad ways also ride scooters.

I had a scooter with two on it plow through a tiny gap of elderly people at high speed just a few days ago.

I had a easily 8 meter wide pedestrian crossing in front of my office vlocked in a full line of e-scooters dumped there as parking space blocking it just as thoroughly as if two cars had parked there.

Now if I were to scale up the ratio of people using scooters to the same as cars then it would get very bad because they seem to think of e-scooters as being more free of rules.

Sure, a good solution would be to replace cars fully and use roads for bikes and scooters. Best possibility.

Sadly that’s not a thing and until then the people using scooters just as badly as car drivers are out there ruining that for everyone.

Uhm, are you one of those who park their e scooter wherever they want and are trying to deflect, or why are you so over the top triggered?

You think that’s a good and fruitful way to talk? Aha

As we all have shared ancestors this would be higly different depending on how far back you go in time.

Heck, if I go back far enough we all need to eat seafood

Unless Trump starts ww3 we will have a few more painful years of transition and then the new normal will be normal and the better deals will win, which won’t be with America.

Though that’s only true for the first few years. Once alternatives are established and trade with America is reduced it will be less and less until America will be not interesting anymore

I just want everyone to shut up in every way about their fantasy story of choice they want to treat as if real.

To me people who talk about their religion as if it were a real thing are the same as people with mental issues who have imaginary friends up until high age or who cannot tell reality from fantasy.

I don’t bring this view up by myself but absolutely drive it at max speed if some idiots on the road ask me “may I talk with you about how god can save you?”

A snail of that size would likely be much faster than the fastest human.

Source: my brain processing the thought in 3 seconds and spewing out this probability as “meh, speed scales with size in some ways”

I hate cars and I equally hate escooter turds who carelessly leave the damn thing wherever they hopped off. Middle of pavement, right in the dead center of a bus stop where they clearly jumped from scooter into the bus door.

No, the little bit of space left getting fucked up by careless rental users is very close as bad as cars.

“hackers”…
