I'm talking about an inevitable outcome of communities, being that there are going to be individuals that won't belong to any of them. In that case I'm saying that committing suicide alone is the best outcome out of a set of

> I know you said this, but I want to emphasize that relationship failures do not invalidate the value of that ideal. I struggle to think of anyone who wouldn't benefit from pursuing some kind of family, and I believe sacrificing th

I don't know about actual companionship, but I'd say that one could commercialize the facade of one. Youtube and Twitch's live streaming mechanisms certainly seem to push it; a few dollars to briefly interact and hold the att

Financial or political benefit. Bragging rights. Someone that won't fight back or leave when you use them as a literal punching bag to vent. Not necessarily good reasons to have a family. But reasons that do exist, unfortunately.

Depends on the company. I know for a fact that if I died tomorrow, only two people would actually notice at all and neither of them are coworkers. It doesn't seem particularly helpful to send out a notifications to people other then th

Two problems I can see right off the bat. 1) Why would someone build software that sophisticated and not expected to be rewarded for their time and effort? The the amount of skill needed to determine an algorithm good enough to connect peop

I'd hesitate to say that it's the majority though. Reddit tends to select for those that would spend a great deal of time on the internet, and a thread that would be about asking the issues with modern dating would probably select

Doesn't that kind of depend on having kids or love? There's probably a fair number of people out there skilled enough to do the work that doesn't have those things to distract from having a demanding job. Ultimately it's

Kind of depends on why you ride though, doesn't it? I don't know what you would define as other wonderful experiences, but I suspect that someone rotten like me can't appreciate them. The madness of gambling with my life for

A few times in the past, but the net result was usually little else other then anti depressant prescriptions. I kind of got the impression that they weren't interested beyond peddling whatever RX that they happened to find interesting,

I think that only really applies if you're 'normal' though. I'm what you might call an incel, though it's not so much the lack of sex as it is the lack of being able to bond emotionally. So unlike most people I&#x27
