I took the time to take a peek into the bublr website. Not the app itself, just the site and created an account right then and there.

As expected lots of women create a very annoying and over the top happy go lucky persona to gain attention. I'll give you my thoughts of how trustworthy they seem to be and why I would avoid most of them.

Some things just don't change ;-)

Some bad news around me. Some folks I know have had a tough time recently. Loosing a job or grieving the loss of someone special in their life.

Life is never easy... Well, aside from that, some tiny infos on Mikes whereabouts, his current condition and some other things in my life.

Nothing big, just smalltalk for now.

Hang in there and take care!

Hey there!

Remember when I told you of this rather naive but nice guy, who was married to a die hard christian?

Well, that story has continued and not for the better. My old fried is facing a very difficult time as we speak. Divorce is coming, he moved out and actually back to his parents, while his still wife is doing a pretty good job of making him feel hurt and alone.

This story has just begun and it will only get worse over time. I'll try to get more info out of him, if I'm lucky enough to get him on the phone.

At the end of this episode, I go a bit off track about Isreal, our current time and place in this world, as well the fact that we are surrounded and confronted only by very extreme ideologies and view points. A sick world we live in, man...

far too sick.

Hello again. Long time no speak...

Today I wanted to get some ideas off my chest about which activities to follow when you are single.

It is vital to stay occupied is what I am trying to say here, as well as maintaining a stable and healthy lifestyle.

It might be true that I am mainly talking out of my ass here, because it all sounds really simple, even thought the battle with our own loneliness can be quite tough. But it changes nothing, it is vital beyond belief to feel at ease with yourself, no matter what kind of person you are.

I know it can be hard as hell to face life alone sometimes. But it does get better. You just got to work through it, just like in everything else in life.

Cheers!

We men sometimes worry too much about what the person in front of us is thinking about our selves. Especially when we are on a date.

"Just be yourself" is an advice, that most people tell to build up someones self esteem. But most people don't even know what that means. It's nearly impossible for someone to be themselves, when there is something at stake, like the woman we are trying to impress somehow.

It's rather more helpful to make someone understand, that they should not care too much about the outcome of any conversation or date.

That's the main topic in a nutshell, but much more ranting about other things around this issue.

Enjoy and stay tuned.

A friend of mine from work, is behaving a bit like a jealous big baby, because I have spent a bit more time with a different person.

We are talking about grown men here, and this phenomenon is something I have experienced more often, with this level of educated people, this level of social competence.

Troubling, what there is SOMETIMES... not that much you can do about it :/.

I use this experience to connect it to people choosing A.I. as their personal human/friend replacement, which is already starting as we speak... Interesting times ahead!

Cheers ;-)

There, I said it. CS2 is a huge disappointment.

While the fix for latency issues have been quite good so far, problems with hitboxes being out of sync remain. Not to much thankfully, but they have not been removed entirely.

Aside from those miner flaws, the game looks terrible. Visually it feels like no one at Valve had a fucking clue what they were doing. Far too bright, far too pale and poor colors making maps look awful and weapon skins washed out with little to no appeal.

Gameplay remains the same, no real change there, except for the smoke, but I don't find it to be that impressive. The changes to the loadout is mindblowingly useless. God only knows what they tried to achieve there...

All in all, not really a good game and just very very boring. Same concept, same garbage, same toxic community.

Where is the innovation?

Where? Is this what we have been waiting for after so many years? They must be joking... :-)

Time to get back to this podcast and report on my new home, the moving experience, hobbies and videos games, as well as other random things in my life. But hey, things are moving forward, things are looking good, even though I still have a ton of work ahead of me. But I'm doing it for myself, just like this podcast, as therapy.

Stay tuned!

I was attending a wedding two weeks ago and met a woman there. Nothing came out of it, aside from the fact that I did not want to get involved in her private life, which you will soon understand here in this episode.

There are enough red flags to look out fore in life and this girl presented me something rather disturbing. Nice lady though overall. Friendly and sympathetic, but no girlfriend material.

That's just me though, Dean playing his game as usual ;-)

There is an article about persistent and present clichés of how many men still see women these days.

It was published/posted by the "Stern" magazine in Germany earlier this year. While some points are quite valid, not everything is that simple. You can't always bring the 1950's into an argument, as if all men have inherited the same dogma since this time period. Further more I don't think the 50's were really THAT bad to all women in society. The 80's and 90's were by far worse, but who cares about facts these days.

Do not be surprised about the article, because it has been written rather poorly and without much substance. It actually just illustrates the frustration in current times, rather then teaching anything new.

I have left out and over read one topic or claim in this article, where the author mentions: "beautiful women equal dumb and easy."

You can decide how relevant and accurate that statement still is for yourself.

The article can be read (maybe use google translate) right here below.
