Reframe failure as winning.

You haven't died, so you've succeeded in staying alive. That in itself is an achievement. And is generally more than most humans to ever exist can claim. Most died in childhood.

There's nothing wrong with being a virgin. It’s a state that can change, but there's no rush or pressure. Engage in activities you find interesting—you’ll meet like-minded people along the way. You may want to reconsider your visual standards or work on your communication skills. Focus on finding people who appreciate you for who you are. Common interests and truly caring about others are attractive traits. (Also, remember, older people are often still sexually active, so losing your virginity is possible even in your later years.) ((As a gay man, I can assure you that everyone is someone’s fetish—no exaggeration. Based on the categories on straight porn sites, the same seems true for heteronormative people.))

Start small. Incremental change over time is more sustainable than trying to make massive, instant changes. Identify the aspects of your life that you don’t like, and work to improve them gradually. Reflect on the wonder of being able to ponder your own existence. Lie in the grass, look up at the sky, and feel your mind wrestle with the idea that you won’t fall up into the sky.

Even if you don’t have a lot of money, there are free things you can do. Turn off your phone, leave your headphones at home, and take a walk on a trail at night. Listen to the sounds of the woods, look at the stars, and feel the breeze.

Nothing inherently matters, and that can be freeing. Since life has no intrinsic meaning, you’re free to assign meaning to the things that matter to you. Take the time you have and focus on what you enjoy.

Even if none of this resonates with you, I hope tomorrow is a better day. And that each tomorrow is better than the last. One thing you can always have is hope. Nothing can kill hope—not a dictator, not a bad date, not the weather, not even the heat death of the universe. Hope lives on. Time marches on. This too shall pass.

"We studied 10 Americans Undergrads and generalized the findings to all humans"

The true lifehacks are always in the comments.

When you repress your homosexuality, it sure does come out in weird ways. /S. Or not.

Sounds like an argument to make yourself feel superior to all groups without adding anything concrete to the conversation to me.

You seem to confuse subjectivity of perception with the objectivity of external facts. While our senses interpret the world, objective facts remain true independent of individual perception. For example, gravity exists whether or not one perceives or "believes" in it.

And the band played on...

Something something translunar orbit.

Let's all ban steaks because children might choke on them for not knowing how to properly cut them!!!¡!!!!

Jesus fucking Christ. Just pay attention to your goddamn children and talk to them. Listen to them. They are no one else's but your own. And if you didn't want to care for them, you shouldn't have had them. And if it was a mistake, abort or adopt them out.

They are neither slaves nor toys. They are just little humans that want to learn and grow up to be big humans. Teach them.

Aposematic signaling!

Do nothing. Let it hatch!

Don't forget about glacial melt causing springback! Oh and that neat 200 meter tsunami in a fjord that rang the earth like a bell for 9 days as it bounced back and forth along the walls. That was probably caused by melt.

Hermes gave it to Apollo. Apollo gave it to Orpheus.

All because of a stolen cow.

Pushing Daisies

Apollo gave a lovely gift.

Goodbye.

None of those things are remotely associated with any future I wish to exist in.

Machine learning has actual use cases, protein folding/alphafold or automated research/experimenting. But "AI" as the hype machine behind natural language processing is not the future of machine learning.

If anything, it will be a driving force behind massive loss of jobs and further entrenching wealth disparity.

Probably something like Total War.

It's mechanotic in origin.
