  • Same, I guess? Mildly autistic according to psychologist and general practitioner, whatever that means. Taking sipralexa for my overactive amygdala.

    Getting into relationships was easy as fuck. Never asked a person out in my life. Just talked to them and then basically went over the barrier of bf/gf naturally. Then she’d ask if we’re together and I’d say of course lol

    I’d say it’s because of my looks cuz I’ve been training my physique since age 18. But honestly my core strength is that I love analysing/understanding people, and girls love it when a guy is that interested in them.





  • RSF was just an example to show that such a ranking exists. Removing conflict of interest and the ability to censor will be what’s needed in order to have real unguided public opinion.

    That’s difficult to achieve.

    The major thing to think about are things like CP, obviously that needs to be removed from existence.

    So there’s positives to control, but nobody does anything for free.

    Like here at Lemmy, I assume an instance creator of a popular instance will be able to be bought by companies or politicians.

    Like Musk just bought twitter, lots of newspaper companies are owned by oligarchs. Other sources of news are owned by governments.

    There’s always a conflict of interest.

    It’s difficult to get away from.

    I know Belgium isn’t socialist, we’re rather social democratic.

    There’s also market socialism which doesn’t require public ownership, just that the workers own the company. Something like Huawei.

    But the end result. We have a median net wealth of 250k euros per adult. I’m quite happy about that.

    We have some nationalised stuff. Our commuting train company, post company, Bank and insurance, bus transport, télécommunications company. Infrabel.

    The government plays a major role in our lives but they are still liberal.

    They just tax and transfer. 45% of the GDP is tax revenue. Belgians are doing just fine.

    Owning key industries is useful, like the french with their nuclear reactors. But you as employee it’s better to have private options as well when it comes to employment.

    Like in Cuba they have 1 employer. The government. Sure, the doctors get paid the most in the country, but still they flee to other Latin American countries so that they can fund their family in a luxurious housing unit in Havana.

    This is because there’s more competition to buy the doctors their services in those other Spanish speaking countries in the Americas.

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike socialist economic stuff, if it’s used properly.

    I despise the censorship.

    Le chat mistral told me differently. I’ll have to talk openly about politics with a Chinese citizen before I change my mind.

    It’s not fucking normal that a country with such an economy doesn’t have people on the global scene.

    You have us, Europeans, you Americans, Aussies, Japanese, Indonesians (VPN), Singaporeans, … All here talking to eachother.

    Chinese? Nope. Great firewall of china. I couldn’t even speak to my wife when she was in Shanghai unless it was on WeChat. Her emails were blocked. WhatsApp was blocked. The other phone she tried to use VPN on became completely useless.

    China controls their population. Until enough Chinese citizens are able to tell me otherwise.

    Brilliant economy, brilliant growth, but god damn, allow them to come out of their hole.

    Can the Chinese even discuss politics like we do here? Haven’t seen anything on rednote beside “political studies” and some Marx praises.

    Must admit it’s a bit more difficult with all of it being in mandarin, but god damn, are they under surveillance.



  • Well groomed… really wasn’t necessary. I just wore a t-shirt and whenever I was interested in someone I would take off that t-shirt.

    I was age 21-24 though, so teenager stuff might still have applied.

    Met my wife when I was 24, now 6 years together.

    So yeah, my experience with women basically is from age 17 to 24. As teenager, it was all about hobbies etc.

    Now as a married man… my wife doesn’t give a fuck bout my hobbies, she’s pregnant so she wants someone dependable. Long term relationship so we need to be communicative.

    Hobbies… we do things together. Outings, watching series. She suffers through my blabbering bout economic stuff that she really doesn’t care about. She watches me workout for the so maniest time.

    When you’re looking for a relationship, all you need to do is have fun. Be charming. Your hobby can be whatever. They want you, not your hobby, not your grooming. If you’re fit and you can make her laugh, that’s all you need.
