I just noticed some of the typos in my comment.

I hate iPhone predicative text changing my words and offering silly suggestions.

No.

I could leave my house right now, go and meet a girl, develop a long term relationship and I wouldn’t be happy. As it is not for everybody.

I get engrossed in my hobbies, and it’s not fair to put other people through that if I’m going to ignore them for a week because I decided I wanted to build a drone and obsess over it.

I don’t understand why you would think like you do. As if everybody on earth wants to be intimate with someone else and anybody that doesn’t is broken in some way.

Don’t confuse me being passionate about this topic as anger. I’m passionate because you’re fundamentally wrong and I don’t want other people seeing this, those who haven’t matured yet, and thinking they have to conform to what people like you believe as it’s simply not true.

I’ve said numerous times I don’t live in solitude. I finished work yesterday at 17:00 and was at my friends house with 6 others until 02:00. I woke up today, took a car for a test drive then went to town to join a protest and was chatting with many people. I’ve just been to my parents for dinner and I’m about to go to another friends with another 4 people. Just because I don’t want to live with someone or have an intimate relationship doesn’t mean I’m a recluse.

Perhaps your situation is different and you’re too socially inept to find someone, but don’t project that on to the rest of us. If you ever come to Manchester I’d love to socialise with you and show you around.

A mountain of conjecture here my friend.

Faking extroversion in work isn’t indicative of my whole life.

I’ve had decades being social with my large group of friends, and I quite enjoy socialising, it’s just as a natural introvert I might need more alone time as it can be tiring.

I never said all my relationships have been shit. Sometimes I’ve been the shit partner. And I haven’t given up, I’ve realised that what makes me happy is my current lifestyle and I don’t have to conform to what society believes is normal.

Perhaps you should take an introspective look at why you would write the previous comment and wonder if there is something in your own life that you’re projecting.

I would never come at someone for their choice of being in a relationship, an open relationship, or whatever unconventional thing they’re into as I respect people’s choices and I assume people are being honest with others as I was in my first comment.

Also, I never said I can’t form meaningful connections, I’ve a group of about 20 friends that I’ve had many since 25 years ago. I make new friends and we have a ball. Male and female alike.

Do you think that everybody single is just waiting for the right person? Do you not believe you can be happy single?

Thanks for sharing.

Although, I abhor your countries neutrality. Take WWII for instance, being neutral kind of says yeah we are cool with both sides.

Also, your banking laws are a cancer on the rest of the world, but I shouldn’t throw stones from my glass house in the UK since we are also very good at offshoring money for deplorable people.

I will say I am fond of your progressive policies on terms of drug use and help for those that want it.

I’ve been single for 6 years and intend staying this way. I’ve had shit relationships and I don’t know anybody in a truly happy relationship.

I get to do what I want, when I want and don’t have to think about anybody else.

It isn’t because I’m socially incompetent, even though I’m a natural introvert I’ve had decades of socialising and am pretty damn good at talking to people and being a fake extrovert. I worked Apple retail where you have to be pretty outgoing to survive there and then moved to the Genius Bar where you need to be able to speak with angry customers.

Being single is just more fun for me and I’m not interested in having to care about someone else, for what I see as little benefit. Plus it’s hella expensive.

I feel there is an orange man missing in this timeline.

I’m shocked, but happy, that they actually got jail time.

4.5 years for the parents and 4 years for the son and his wife respectively. I think jail time for people like this is the only way we can make sure they don’t do it again, a fine is no use when you’re richer than god.

The royal family are not the richest. Sure they have assets but most of it they can’t really sell.

They’re scroungers and I hope one day we oust them. How can we bang on about equality whilst holding parasites on a pedestal.

What criticism exactly?

I hardly think it hypocritical to condemn Israel for what they’re doing.

As for the rest of your rant about insulting people. I’m going to end the conversation here and wish you a nice weekend and perhaps you can reflect on how you speak to people online, as it says more about your mentality than it does mine.

Nah just a regular dude trying to help others when I can.

No need to be offensive, it’s not the way to converse with people and detracts from any argument you may want to convey.

You implied it by questioning my post about Israel committing a genocide and trying to justify it due to the actions of Hamas.

Whatever Hamas has done in killing innocent people doesn’t justify Israel killing 10-20x the number of innocent people.

There’s plenty of services like this that people use a firestick to connect too.

My friend uses one but I forget the name of it. You can find them online but people usually buy a package of say 20 connections and then sell them to friends and family. I’ll try and remember what to search for and come back.

Edit: IPTV is a good search term.

So that means it’s fair game for Israel to just kill whoever they choose? They’re never going to wipe out Hamas. In fact they’re ensuring that the next generation will join because they killed their families.

Palestinians are not committing a genocide. Sure Hamas have done some terrible things, but the scale of the Israeli onslaught is abhorrent.

I support Israel giving land back that they’ve stolen and to stop murdering innocent people. I also support Palestinians being able to rebuild their country and voting out Hamas. Given the last vote was around 06 and the vast majority of Palestinians were not old enough to vote then they haven’t exactly chosen Hamas.

That Israel is committing a genocide, and seemingly the majority of people don’t care or worse believe propaganda or dehumanise a whole population of people.

Also, when people defend massive corporations and don’t see the negative impact they have on industries.

Thanks. I found it.

Is this an extension

Ecstasy.

I want a modern Road Rash or Destruction Derby.
