    Wow… So you are expected to feel ghosted/rejected 100 times a week, and upwards to 1500 in total? I wonder how healthy that must be for your psyche…

      We didn’t have psyches back in the day. Just a can-do attitude and strong values.

      And a bottle of alcohol too many here and there. And hobbies such as beating your wife black and blue in front of your kids. And fatal accidents from speeding around in our souped up cars.

      Just none of that psyche shit, okay?

      SLASH S.

          Of course, everyone did it back then…
          Though quite a few got it all wrong and ended up with a form of bootstrap tightly around their neck and hanging from a joist in the garage.
          Or they accidentally fell off high buildings due to pulling their bootstraps up while on a roof.
          Or they accidentally lassoed a bottle of vodka in to their mouths with the bootstraps, drank themselves in to a stupor, and then accidentally went driving and crashed.
          BUT THERE WAS NONE OF THAT THE PSYCHE SHIT. Right, I’m off to do some wholesome beating of my wife and kids.

        And sometimes people had accidents cleaning their guns. With their mouths. But that’s just the cost of bearing arms, no mental health problems

        I mean, it was normal getting a bit beaten up a kid for doing dumb stuff. It builds character! That’s why everyone ended up so funcional as adults, no? … No?

      In case anyone would like a reminder, this is a market failure and doesn’t reflect on you personally whatsoever.
