There are no women people on the internet.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not stupid

I wouldn't put that past me.

I understand the cool down period.

600 upvoters and counting got it just fine.

Good for them. Twist the "you're an idiot" knife a bit more, there's plenty of space in the small of my back.

So, again, who the hell says "activity" instead of "already hung out with someone"?

Is the part of the joke that the person is dysfunctional in turning people down? Wouldn't a healthy introvert turn someone down in an appropriate manner?

A well regulated person could say something like:

“already did that with someone/you recently”. I'll catch up with you another time.

If you count inane AI babblings as a microblog, then yes.

Wine Bottles: Unless you break me on a bow of a ship on its first launch, then it's good luck.

You are being downvoted because you are basically saying that if you relate to the joke, there’s something wrong with you and you need help.

That is incorrect, and kinda offensive. You made a lot of people feel like you think they are fucked in the head.

Lets review.

The joke has the premise that an introvert did an activity yesterday. Let go with a mundane activity: doing the dishes.

The punchline is that because the introvert did an activity (even a non-social activity), they are now prevented from catching up with a friend for several days.

I assume that this is a dysfunctional person. But you're telling me that this is okay, and not dysfunctional.

Exactly. "Oh, aren't these nerds just so inappropriate? Haha, laugh at them being actually broken while we frame it as normal. canned laugh track"

Yes, it is a joke, and it doesn't land because it assumes "this is what introverts do, haha, isn't it funny? Introverts are so quirky".

I'm claiming that the premise of the joke is faulty.

Are the ads in the room with us right now?

Edit: I thought it was obvious that this was a joke, my mistake.

Edit 3: Thanks for downvoting. I see the problem. The joke is just written poorly. Here is a better version:

Friend: wanna hang out tomorrow?

Me: I hung out yesterday. Please wait the three day recovery period to submit another hang out request.

Social anxiety =/= introverted

Edit: If this is not social anxiety, it still isn't introversion.

"I actually performed an activity yesterday." What healthy introvert would claim a non-descript, mundane activity would put them out of interacting with anyone for days?

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: If you downvoted, please seek therapy. You are not healthy. Life is easier than your mind is making it.

it was just one group of rich greedy people turning on another group of rich greedy people. Nothing to get excited about.

Sounds better than what we currently have:

Groups of poor desperate people turning on other groups of poor desperate people.

If you're wanting to practice soldering, and build a small, cheap project at the same time, I'd recommend cheap project kits from Aliexpress (there are probably equivalents on Amazon). Do projects that are through hole soldering first, before attempting SMD components.

There are plenty to choose from and they're cheap, so if it doesn't work then it doesn't matter much.

• LED Christmas Trees
• Digital Clocks
• Bluetooth speaker - the SMD components are done for you.
• FM Radio Kits
• LED Sound Spectrum Display - Lots of practice with this one

There will be plenty of Youtube videos of people putting these things together if you want to know more.

Have fun!

Well then, they don't sound very nice over there.

They pay out of initial capital investment and leveraging.

I like the imagery of the last post because it was tapping into the idea of waves and how sub-atomic particles behave like waves.

However, erm actually 🤓 ...

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur

No, they don't overlap. Electrons are negatively charged, and like repels like. The orbitals will repel each other. This repulsion is the reason why you can feel the fur.

Edit: I'm getting nay-sayers that reckon they do. Please provide a reference that explains inter-molecular orbitals that cause bonding for a hand touching fur. The only thing I can think of this happening is for transition states. This would require a chemical reaction. I don't think we categorise "touch" under "requiring a chemical reaction".

Because the structure of the transition state is a first-order saddle point along a potential energy surface, the population of species in a reaction that are at the transition state is negligible. Since being at a saddle point along the potential energy surface means that a force is acting along the bonds to the molecule, there will always be a lower energy structure that the transition state can decompose into. This is sometimes expressed by stating that the transition state has a fleeting existence, with species only maintaining the transition state structure for the time-scale of vibrations of chemical bonds (femtoseconds).

To add to this: take notice of how much they are sharing back. If all they are saying are acknowledgements (e.g "Yeah", "of course", "I hear that", "wow, that's crazy") then they aren't really with you in the conversation. The dialogue has become a monologue.

How does pirating make a corporation broke? Making a copy doesn't steal money.

Edit: We can't pirate a company into bankruptcy.

Up and down votes are not a "agree / disagree" button. They are for dis/encouraging posts. You can upvote a post you disagree with but can see that it is useful for the discussion.

The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation.

Exactly. Which is why I started with questions so you could explain more. That's how a conversation works and prevents it from getting toxic.

These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Case and point.

What year is it? This has been true for over a decade.

Yes, they write satire. They can't be responsible for Poe's Law.

Wait, he uses a stargate to get across a planet? I'm not a Stargate fan but I thought you only have one stargate per planet.

OOTL:

Jeremy Vine

On August 2016, a car driver threatened and was abusive to Vine while he was cycling along Hornton Street in Kensington, London. Vine captured the encounter on his helmet camera, later broadcasting it on YouTube where it was viewed several million times. Vine also reported it to the police. On 18 April 2017, the car driver was jailed for nine months for threatening behaviour. At the time of the incident, she was subject to a suspended sentence for various other offences.

Here's the video, it contains road rage so don't watch it if you have high blood pressure.

"Depeche mode"?

That's cause she knew and was giving you the time you needed.

Relationship goals.

Better. I'd rather work with reality than endlessly chase fantasies which I'll never reach.

minimize the chance of a thought occurring

This should say "negative emotion". Thoughts are fine, more please.

I heard if you say "Tux" three times while staring into a mirror your daily driver turns up dual booted.

He just wanted to be pure but in doing so became something beyond.

There is a difference between introvert and socially incompetent.

Bus stop doesn't get used

"See?! No one wants to use public transit. We should build another lane."

Unfortunately that is how the human body works. Our sleep/wake cycle can only naturally drift by about an hour a day. It isn't entirely dependent on how you feel.
