Holy shit, ad blockers are a thing, people. ublock origin and SponsorBlock for a safer, happier life! Browsing anything without blockers is akin to dripping dimethyl mercury on your genitalia, crossing your fingers, and wildly hoping for the best.

Honestly so happy I’m married, I’m sorry for all of y’all. Dystopian times.

But hey to add my two cents: I think that fear is marketable, so women are over fed on paranoia.

At the same time, porn and propaganda have put bad expectations in some percentile of dumb men.

Both sexes are generally out of social practice, and societal trust is at an all time low. Most people are nice, but most people are also awkward.

So get out there and meet some people, don’t even do so romantically, just go learn how to interact with people, form some friendships.

This is kind of like how parents don’t let their kids play out anymore because the news told us it’s all pedophiles out there.

I wholeheartedly refute the assertion this comic makes that the word 'lock' is onomatopoeic.

Yep, that's just how it is these days. Let me ask though, does it really matter?

If the girls are afraid of the guys, that's their problem, not yours. Stick the time into something else you enjoy, let nature run it's course. Find a job you don't hate, spend your money as you like, live a happy life without the anxiety of rejection.

does it really matter?

Does a dysfunctional society matter?
