  • I was just talking about this recently. There are of course some women who like muscle men or assholes, but most women are attracted to men who make them feel safe and/or make them laugh. If it is about looks, they’re probably just looking for a slender/chubby guy who has a caring/funny/brooding kind of look about them.

    Also! Looks can change as you get to know someone. A person who was initially hot as hell can become revolting if their personality sucks, and vice versa, someone that didn’t really stand out to you could become literally the hottest person in the universe if their personality rocks!



  • You can download specific DLCs but I’m not entirely sure they’ll be useable. It’s worth a try. Here’s how you do it:

    Open a web browser and type in steam://open/console and it should open the Steam console inside of Steam itself. Type download_depot <game_id> <depot number> for Rocksmith the game id is 205190 and you can look up the specific DLC you want on steamdb

    So for example, the Pearl Jam Song Pack could be downloaded using download_depot 205190 222139

    Rocksmith’s DLC SteamDB page: https://steamdb.info/app/205190/dlc/

    If this DLC has been disabled as you said, this might not work, or you might need to make sure that Steam doesn’t try to update the game (which would disable the DLC again). You can do that by browsing to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/ (assuming you’re on Linux, or just wherever your “steamapps” folder is on your PC) and find the file called appmanifest_205190.acf and set it to read only. That should prevent Steam from modifying any changes you’ve made to the game. Just remember to set it back to writable if you want to update the game again.

    The game might not recognize the DLC as I said, but you should be able to access the files anyway if that’s all you wanted. They’ll be in ../steamapps/downloading at least until the download is complete, then it should try to apply the DLC to the game, which might cause the files to get deleted. I’m not entirely sure about that.






  • For negativity bias my wife just told me a great technique that she uses for that. Come up with a list of people whose opinions matter to you. Any time you question yourself, imagine how each person on that list would react to what you did. Since those are the only people whose opinions matter to you, if it’s mostly positive, then you should feel proud of your choice.


  • That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I’ve heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it’s supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.

    It seems that what this person’s friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!

    I’m sure you’re aware but I think it needs to be said more; but I think that most women would love to pay men compliments on their appearance, but unfortunately, it sometimes leads to weird, obsessive, totally inappropriate behaviour from said men and so that scares a lot of women off.

    We, as a society, should try to discourage men from reading too much into a purely platonic compliment so that women feel more free to give men compliments without fear of super awkward and/or scary situations.




  • You might want to start taking testosterone blockers (spironolactone for example) asap to avoid any unwanted changes. The T-blockers themselves won’t have a huge effect on your body, it might very slightly change your body hair growth and it might make your skin a bit softer but that’s about it.

    Then once you’re ready you can start taking estrogen – usually in the form of estradiol pills, although there are other options.

    Also, if you’re from Canada – Ontario or Alberta specifically, there’s a very good service called Foria https://www.foriaclinic.com/

    It’s not covered through provincial healthcare unfortunately, but it is a not-for-profit service so they keep it as cheap as they can. It winds up being about $200 a year for most patients.


  • Another thing that wasn’t mentioned in the video that Proton does is it also – sometimes, depending on the game – checks a list of known requirements for a game and installs them through winetricks, or makes other recommended changes to game files that are known to make the game work.

    When Proton is updated and the patch notes mention that a game was fixed, it’s something to do with this part of the process. A certain library, or whatever was missing and Proton installs it for you behind the scenes.

    It also runs WINE through Steam’s launcher (aka Steam Linux Runtime) which has some common redistributables (aka Steamworks SDK Redist) built right into it, and it also runs appropriate anti-cheat solutions (aka Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime or Proton BattlEye Runtime).



  • It sounds like you’re thinking of Libertarianism which is a subset of liberalism, but they are distinct.

    Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion. Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.
