  • Easily #1, but that’s because they worded it as what her current interests are.

    Just be interesting yourself, and put the work into finding out what about her interests are actually interesting. People find things interesting for a reason.

    No one is actually boring, if you find someone boring it just means you dont understand them yet. Pay attention, listen, and try to see it through their eyes and maybe you’ll find their “boring” interests aren’t so boring after all, you just didnt “see” it fully yet to appreciate it.

    And, typically, if you put the work into showing interest in whatever they are into, they’ll reciprocate.

    Also, there’s infinite room for the two of you to both find new interests neither of you had before that now you both can share.

    When my fiance and I started dating years ago, neither of us gave a shit about birds… but now that we live in a place with lots of cool random birds we can spot, and we go for walks everyday, we actually stop and go “holy shit what kind of bird is that, I dont recognize it” or “holy fuck are those pelicans? I didnt even know we got pelicans here!” etc etc.

    The other day out of the blue when we were chilling at a nearby water reservoir watching a duck, a whole ass fuckin pelican came outta nowhere and swooped down, splashing into the water and sniped a random fish, then burst up with it in its mouth like… 2 feet in front of us. It was a pretty big “holy shit did that just happen?” moment.

    If we hadn’t been sitting there just enjoying watching a duck, we never would’ve gotten to see that pelican.

    So, you know, maybe there’s no such thing as “normie” interests, or a “boring” person. You might be the boring one if anything, because you can’t understand why people love something and get interested in it…


  • Exponential growth, thats about all there is to it. Advancing from clacking rocks to hunting deer is actually already a huge advancement.

    Those 190k years in caves however werent non-advancing. A lot of advancements happened over those years.

    Fires, wheels, knot tying, ceramics, pottery, grains, hunting, animal husbandry, medicine, language, art, music, rope…

    Also, 10k years is after we gained writing of various forms to store information.

    Keep in mind thats at the stage of shit like egypt, the great pyramids, etc. We were waaaaay beyond “cavemen” at that point. We already had trade routes, cities, nations, countless languages, doctors, etc.

    The big issue was before that point, all our forms of storing information were just not able to stand the test of time very well, is all. We stopped being “cavemen” way before that mark though.






  • I’d recommend you actually read the very article and explicitly try and look for a genuine quote where an individual explicitly is quoted as saying Biden should drop out.

    Note how everytime it’s a generalized paraphrase at not an actual quote.

    And interestingly enough all the actual quotes are more along the lines of “He should be doing x”, or etc.

    And even more so many articles capstone at the end with “when asked they re-affirmed support for biden”

    The articles wiggle word their way just enough to subtly imply someone is saying he should drop, yet they can’t manage to find a single actual concrete quote of anyone actually saying it, which shouldn’t be that hard to do.

    That should be a red flag for you that the article is being purposefully vague on purpose.

    Stop falling for the bullshit. Actually read what the article says and look at the quotes, note the dissonance between the quotes and the paraphrasing…


  • This is fundamentally the standard “people are saying…” classic propoganda engine that trump literally used for over 4 years straight.

    Step 1: Trump and/or his team talks about <thing> without any basis, just remarking on it Step 2: News cycles pick it up and remark about Trump remarking on it Step 3: Trump now re-iterates the talking point but this time saying its in the news Step 4: The news once again re-iterates it

    At this point its so obfuscated in layers its hard to pick up the original source being “Trump just bullshitting about nothing” and then it becomes news

    It’s such a tired and classic play its insane that people somehow eight years later are still falling for it.

    Biden did a fucking press conference very clearly stating he is running, I don’t know how the fuck he can be more explicit that this isnt up for discussion, it’s happening, stop fucking spreading some form of implication it isnt. He so very clearly is who the democrats are pushing forward, everything else is propaganda bullshit to make people second guess.




  • The constant deluge of headlines talking about how apparently voters are “calling” for him to step down and so on, repeatedly repeating it as if its something everyone wants, is weird.

    The total lack of headlines about how trump literally just said a bunch of outright lies instead is fucking insane. Every news piece is obsessed with “Biden should totally step down” instead of “dude this other guy trying to be president just sat and outright lied for like an hour straight during the debate, lol wtf”

    The propaganda engine is churning and people upvoting and reposting all this shit are fueling it.

    Its extremely likely a sizeable chunk of people spreading these posts and absolutely inundating the front page with them left right and center are part of that propaganda engine, so take it with a grain of salt.

    I dont give a shit of Trump has been lying every day since day one, we need to keep repeating and pointing it out every single time, as exhausting as it is, because the moment we get bored and tired of it, the lies start to become truths.

    What I’d like to see is the front page covered in “Fact Check: Trump lied about x, the truth is y, here’s info on it”

    This “biden isnt stepping down” thing ISNT NEWS, its inherently reporting that a thing didnt happen which is as far away from actual news as you can get.

    “This morning we are glad to report that the moon did not fall out of the sky, more on this at eleven”

    Garbage journalism. Stop supporting it. Downvote this shit.





  • Legally heavily depends on where you live, many places have a step before that where there are legal bodies you can report them to for such things. You’d have to consult your city’s help line to get more info and figure out who you talk to about that.

    Assuming that somehow doesnt get results then, yes, the next step is suing the landlord for your rent back, which can potentially go in your favor as legally in most places the landlord has a legal duty to maintain the building for the tenant and if they dont do that, you dont owe them rent and can get it back.
