In scientific fields it actually happens quite a bit that someone thinks they discovered some absolute game-changer just to figure out in the end it was some math- or measurement error. Quite funnily, in that regard the confession sounds almost believable.

Hey discovery goon! Let us know what kind of companies will be most affected by your potential discovery so we can buy ETF's and stuff for them. At least give your SA brethren that much!

If we wait much longer this thread will devolve into arguing about measurements again. The best are metres, inches and millimetres. Inches are the best because i can measure off inches with my thumb knuckles.

Indolent Bastard posted:So bring on the mother lode already, I'm bored. here's some more sure Subject line: "I've never had sober sex" (included because it makes the fesh easier to understand) quote:So I have had sex, but the kicker is I was not sober for many many years. I now just imbibe alcohol but I don't drink to excess. However, I have to have a drink to have sex and gotta be a little buzzed. I also take Seroquel so that puts a dampener on my sex drive. Lately , I'll just go weeks without even masturbating. It kind of sucks for relationships and I've started being the passive partner in sex (I am queer). Not because of any real desire to but because they want to and I am like well alright how about a blow job and you put it in my butt. The thing is if I drink I am perfectly fine and horny, but without alcohol I cannot have sex at all. So sometimes their like let's have sex and it's 9 am in the morning , but I have no desire to start the habit of drinking before noon. Anyway I've basically given up on dating. It's just not a lifestyle I really want to lead of going out drinking, having sex, then kind of sort of remembering it the next day. There's gotta be some kind of sex therapist that could help with that? Worth asking around for at least IMO quote:My confession isn't really of the caliber of many that I have seen on here, but like hell I'm going to tell anyone I know personally about this based on the stigma around it.

oh whoops those weren't even from the rescued spam confessions lol ok here's more so I can get through a couple of those quote:My gf and I have been together for a few months. Initially she lied to me about a guy who she had been messaging quite a lot. If true that's a pretty solid own, kudos to her quote:I've collected, deleted, and collected again, over and over, an absolutely massive amount of internet porn. I've built it up and wiped it away like some Hindu cycle of creation and destruction more times than I can remember. Even now that streaming sites make downloading totally obsolete, I have to have the files. And I know I'll just delete them again eventually in some silly fit of trying to turn over a new leaf. It never sticks. I'll reminisce about this scene or that one, and I'll tell myself I'm just going to collect my favorite few again. Okay, maybe all the scenes from just my favorite pornstars. Then entire sites. It's ridiculous. this one's subject line was just "PORN" which is probably why Gmail spamfiltered it anyway honestly I DL the files whenever possible too, which definitely makes me old, but I click around a lot and it's easier if you don't have to wait for buffering

quote:This will be short, vague, and utterly unverifiable. I'm way into my late 40s and probably one of the older goons with that. I don't post really these days but I still revisit this forum because it's an island of the kind of internet I still understan0d and makes me think about the days where I still had a resemblance of youthful vigour. I can still laugh at dick jokes though, I guess that's worth something. I was not one of the very first computer nerds there was but I was in the game early. Computers gave me the love for science. My guess is a new cellphone technology to call anybody at any point in time so you can call your grandmother that died ten years ago or JFK to warn him about Dallas or even call future you to see if he would be willing to give you some good stock quotes. This would be awesome.

Eventually it would be a net good for humanity, but the immediate effects would be catastrophic. Especially if the country that discovers it doesn't share.

quote:My confession is that despite being tall, handsome, successful, funny, worldly, rugged, and caring, I for the life of me cannot attract women, and admittedly only have one friend IRL. I'm getting pretty drat lonely and have been trying to put myself out there more, but I guess something about my personality must be incredibly off putting. I think it's mutating into some sort of mental illness. I went out for brunch and drinking with my one friend and his other friends last weekend and as we returned from burning a cig his exact words were, "Jesus, how many times did you just get eye hosed walking through here." I feel like I'm attractive up until the exact moment I open my mouth. I'm also pretty sure all of his friends hate my guts, even though this is contrary to the evidence. Working up balls is a step in the right direction, but it seems like you have some definite self-esteem issues and I would like to refer you to the thread title. As you've said you don't have much to lose, right? quote:This is gonna be the dumbest 'fesh ever but I legit don't know what happened to Dane Cook. Why was he insanely popular for a while and then immediately poo poo on by everybody and his mother? I wouldn't worry that much, I kinda feel like even hating Dane Cook is passe at this point  I dunno, he's just kind of always been a really obnoxious person? I never knew anyone who actually liked him; by the time I heard his name at all (in 2003 maybe???) it was in the context of "a guy who sucks" then he made that Good Luck Chuck movie which was mostly notable for providing some nice shots of Jessica Alba but by all accounts was otherwise terrible, and that was about the end of it AFAIK

I think he stole jokes and generally just wasn't funny, and contributed to the terrible movie "waiting". But yeah, he's so far beyond relevant now that hating on him is like hating on carlos mencia - yeah you're right, he's bad, but who cares anymore?

Confidence can get ugly and untalented people high paying jobs and babes galore. If you don't have confidence, you get squat. It took some serious time for me to gain confidence so that I could talk to women as an equal instead of some starry-eyed moron. For the most part it takes a lot of effort and practice, especially if you have been beaten down early in your life but it's possible. The other useful skill is learning to talk and to listen.

Neutrino posted:Confidence This is the most important piece of advice to all the confessors who whine that they've never been laid/touched a girl/etc. Confidence. It's not easy. Like anything worth doing, it takes time and effort. But unlike getting swole or just losing weight, the results are (barring horrible extenuating circumstances) permanent. If you've spent a year volunteering at an animal shelter or a soup kitchen or running a Dungeons and Dragons club or visiting the elderly in nursing homes, nobody can take that away from you. All your experiences color your own continuing personal development, and if the sum of your life's experiences thus far is "sat in a chair staring at a screen watching numbers go up," don't expect respect or attention from anyone. All you've done so far is click "Attack" and whine into the void about how lonely you are. The big secret to confidence won't be revealed at a seminar by some PUA, and you can't get it by reading a .pdf that you paid to download from a "guru." The big secret is doing poo poo and interacting with people. Get outside your comfort zone. Intentionally take a part-time job you think you'll hate. Volunteer. Get a degree. Join a club. Start a club. Get a hobby that takes you out of the house and (most importantly) around other people. Learn about people. What do they like? What do they hate? What fuels their passions? Ask them questions. Listen to their answers. Listen to their stories. Be friendly to everyone you encounter and take a genuine interest in their lives. At first, yeah, you're gonna bumble a bit and be generally awkward trying to communicate with people, but what did you expect? When was the last time you had a conversation with someone who wasn't your mother in the kitchen while she's cooking you Hot Pockets? For gently caress's sake, go do poo poo. Take up hiking. Coach a little league team. Learn all about cars so when you see a restored '72 Stingray at a gas station you can compliment the owner. Organize a community beautification club that goes around once a week to pick up litter. Go see a local band you've never heard of perform live. Tutor students and help them with their homework. Volunteer to put books back on the shelves at the public library. Join VITA and help poor and elderly individuals in your region do their taxes for free. Do any of that or anything else out of the house with other people for just a short while and you'll realize that hey, maybe it isn't so hard, talking to people? Presto, you have confidence!

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Do any of that or anything else out of the house with other people for just a short while and you'll realize that hey, maybe it isn't so hard, talking to people? Seriously, this right here. It doesn't matter what the gently caress you do, just go out and do things. Honestly exactly what poo poo you do doesn't even matter, you just gotta do Things. The best way to get better confidence and get better with women is to just focus on yourself and your experiences. Stop worrying about being repulsive to people and stop worrying about what others think of you or if they hate you or not. Note: this isn't easy to do and takes a lot of time. I used to have a lot of the same kind of thoughts as you, and when I instead just started focusing on my career and getting more hobbies and learning new skills suddenly all those lovely thoughts just started magically disappearing.
