Or....you tend to be negative.

I feel bad for folks who are introverted and not particularly strong. Almost every job with a low barrier to entry demands a lot of physical or emotional labour.

Imagine a barista with a pin that says "Here are some of the soft skills that this job demands and which I lack."

I think by "do nothing" he means no arbitrary interface changes, new features no one asked for, etc.

That's the sort of "doing something for the sake of doing something" stuff that Microsoft and Apple often do that people hate.

When I have romantic feelings it doesn't make me want to sleep with the person they're directed towards.

It doesn't make me want to necessarily sleep with them either, but rather stay up late having sex with them. And maybe after sleep.

But this idea of asexual romantic attraction makes about as much sense to me as saying "When I am hungry it doesn't make me want to eat food."

When I say I have "romantic feelings" for someone, the feeling I'm referring to is a combination of love and sexual desire. Even when I was a kid and would sort of push down or repress sexual thoughts because in my head it felt wrong or inappropriate, what I was feeling was sexual desire and love.

My understanding of the term "romantic" has always been euphemistic, based in an understanding that it would be weird and rude to just tell someone you're crushing on that you love them and you want them to love you too and you want to put your mouth on their genitals because you think you could make them feel really good and you want to physically intimate to be vulnerable with them because vulnerability is a part of of not just physical but emotional intimacy and you want them to share their feelings and feel open to you and so on and so on you get the idea.

Do people seriously conciously fantasize about taking part in erotic acts with real people (especially ones they have feelings for)?

Yes.

I kinda get the disrespect perspective, maybe. I felt that a little as a teen. But then I thought it probably wasn't respectful treating my crush in my mind like a sort of sexless statue or object rather than a real human being that I was in love with and wanted to have sex with.

Because they're also rich. Laws are for the poors.

I feel like maybe research on medical implants like this should be done by the state.

Also mind that soon these new cars will be used cars with the same bullshit.

It is honestly impressive that with (presumably) only hard work, an education, a lifetime of business experience, and the kindness of strangers, he was able to work his way up to 6.4% of his goal.

A regular Ozymandias, that one.

What do you mean it's only IPAs here?

Why there's also Double IPAs, triple IPAs, quad IPAs, Imperial IPAs, every kind of fruit-infused IPAs, hazy IPAs, seasonal IPAs, limited edition IPAs, New England style IPA, West Coast Style IPAs, wheat IPAs, rye IPAs, oat IPAs, Session IPAs, red IPAs, and non-alcoholic IPAs.

And if none of that appeals to you we also have a limited edition seasonal dry-hopped pils that according to the menu tastes like an IPA.

If it's a luxury, isn't it almost by definition "something you can live without?"
