    I miss program such as Microsoft Frontpage. It was one of the favorite apps I used to make websites in the late 90s/early 00s.

    I used some of those, though those WYSIWYG web designers always seemed to create much more complicated and bloated HTML than you'd make if you wrote the HTML directly. Also, the bloat would mean the web pages would take longer to load.

    Livejournal likely was the reason why I stopped making home made webpages.

    How so?

    I worked for the company that bought Allaire Homesite, then killed it
    off. I loved that program and kept an older version running for years
    after its demise.

    Livejournal likely was the reason why I stopped making home made
    webpages.

    Oh, LJ was it's own rabbit hole of CSS, I remember tweaking custom page templates for hours!

    I was reading articles that saying in the united kingdom virginity is increasing in their population. 1 in 8 people in the United Kingdom in their mid 20s never had sex.

    Maybe people are scared of rejection.


    I am not scared of rejection, and most people in my social circle is not scared of rejection, yet we don't chase women actively because we have other priorities.

    Women are huge resource sinks and require comittment most people is not willing to take... come to think of it, that is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with.

    From a rational point of view I cannot justify chasing a woman when I can be making money or expanding my harvesting area instead. And for people who is tight on resources it is not a matter of justification but of hard impossibility - they cannot pay the bidding price.

    Work hard enough and you'll attrace members of the opposite sex with
    your large, expansive tracts of land! No chasing required!

    Land is not the chick magnet it used to be.

    Anyway, attracting is one thing and keeping another. The problem lies right on the fact that women want you to keep them entertained, take them to places, and no matter what they tell you, they will get bored of cost-efficient activities quite fast and ditch you for somebody who will spend more resources in them. For no other reason that if your idea of fun is participating in scythe contests you must be a borying bloke with no personallity, of course.

    Sounds like you're chasing the wrong women... I know a couple of
    historical re-enactors who might be interested in a scythe contest...

    I am just not chasing.

    Last one didn't work out, I think she was jealeous because her horse liked me more than he liked her. \o/

    When I was on Social Media (during Covid), it just led to disagreement arguments. Yes, I did message some people I had found that I hadn't g into
    contact with since school, but that never really got anywhere.

    It seems to me, that the younger generation do go out less. Socialise Have less real world interaction. I think this is evidence that Socia Media probably doesn't bring people together.


    ... BoraxMan


    one thing i've noticed about myself is i no longer enjoy going out to restaurants or just to places. if it's a restaurant, i do take out. i a longer in a relationship nor looking. i prefer to be alone. Since covid i been in this type of pattern and it hasn't changed. not sure if i'm abno or if i've just decided that i dont have time for the other shit in life. have had 2 common law wives that add up to over 20 years, so there's that maybe i'm done with people.

    I both feel like I am over people, AND want to be around people more. My is is more that I don't enjoy the people I find myself around, moreso than just wanting to be alone. I'm alone enough...

    Joy is being around good company, good food, good surrounds, but having all three at the same time is nigh on impossible now. I was at a housewarming a while ago, and the people there, who I didn't know well, turned out to be annoying Liberals. No, I don't want your politics! Can you not just be... normal?

    I agree with you. I wish people could just be people without the politics. I have friends on both sides and we all seem to get along until that one mouthy Liberal mind wants to stir the stink pot. I was brought up to keep religion in church and politics in the voting booth. If we can keep that ideal things seem to work out better. I hope you are doing well these days Borax.
