I have 30 hours in house flipper 2 since getting it 5 days ago. I wish I could live in the homes I make

Sure, why not

All in favor for the new vegger, say Aye

This is an interesting thought.

Being chronically online does kind of break your perception reality doesn’t it?

sitting in the office waiting to die 8 hours a day

That is exactly why I absolutely thrived in manufacturing. Well, the right type of manufacturing. I’d rather die than work in an office. I lasted exactly one month at my one and only desk job before I had to quit and find something different.

I don’t write often anymore either, but recently tried to write a letter to someone, wow after a few sentences could I notice how out of practice I was. I ‘jot things down’ all the time, but a letter, paragraphs, whew.

I think it’s tough, because many degree jobs are all desk jobs, so it’s like, you want the degree and good money, but the work, doesn’t sound fun. Im glad wfh has helped though, thats great

Doodle. I always doodled in my notes. Repeating patterns worked for me, because I am no artist.

I am still unmedicated, and method helped me a lot with lectures using pencil snd paper for notes.

Everyones different, I failed my online college courses. In person, I do alright. You may like online better.

But if you’re forced to sit in lecture, fuckin doodle.

I found this really interesting and thought provoking. I loved the line how ultimate optimism is not always misplaced.

Bruh 🤢

You just sterotyped women so fuckin gross here. Jesus christ

But as you describe, is that every man?

Certainly not.

I’m mom and I’m the rollercoaster, the house repair gal, and I have a higher drive than my husband, though I would never describe our booty time as, “getting my balls emptied” or some female equivalent. It’s more like, activity time with my best friend, alas,

You just sterotyped an entire cohort of people in your description, I hope you understand that.

I refuse to sterotype my fellow women. I know women, we are all different, and I myself, don’t hit many of the sterotypical markers.

You describe your version of the every man’s day here, then say any man who lives differently has issues, because that day isn’t satisfying for them. Is that kind towards your fellow men you think?

I read the first paragraph, and as a woman, I feel the same! Solidarity!

Poverty isn’t just for men

Honestly, as a women, so it’s not my opinion that matters, but even that meme/joke/trend that “men are simple creatures”, “keep your belly fully and balls empty and we’re happy” ect, like, is that not demeaning to men?

The men in my life are just as complicated and multifaceted as anyone else. These kinds of jokes, or online rhetoric, to me, feel like y’all are calling men simple and dumb.

The men in my life are not simple or dumb.

Not all women are becons of morality.

While statistically women are more likely to have empathy and emotional understanding and more communication thus, we are not perfect by any sense.

Your underlying rhetoric here is deeply divisive. I agree men are more prone to violent action, whether in a leadership role or just as a person. It’s why more women attempt suicide but more men are successful.

We cant just throw men away. We start with the culture, we start with teaching boys emotional intelligence, language, and how to reach for support. Then, we don’t reject them for reaching for such support.

It should be considered masculine to show vulnerability, it is one of the hardest things to get used to, if you’ve not been allowed/able to for so long. However, vulnerability leads to personal growth. Real vulnerability, followed by acceptance from peers, will give personal growth, understanding, and acceptance.

Fathers, hug your sons and tell them you love them. Teach our sons better. Cultural change is slow, you jumping on to say it’s always mens fault is a shallow and lazy thought. You’ve put so little thought into the “whys”.

The men/women culture war has been amplified enough now, we need to come together and find how we can support eachother.

I’ve been a victim of multiple men. Like, it’s truly stupid, where somedays I hate myself solely for letting myself in these situations. But I don’t harbor hate for men. I feel bad for the ones who are lost, because I too have been lost.

I want us to focus more on solutions than just, bitching

I think most of us, here, have. It really is mostly old folks and idiots left now.

Someone mentioned here, their hoa uses fb as their digital square, and my park union does too. I just don’t get to get involved with the park union, Facebook unfortunately, has become ingrained in many community oriented organizations. I hate it. I refuse to go back there.

I don’t understand why people are ao eager to give their money and privacy to billionaires.

Maybe they used the wrong language. You roll your eyes, so you don’t hate life, heard.

So then why, genuinely, do you reject the idea of community with such conviction?

How did humans ever survive before there were 8 billion people? Oh how?

As a mother I don’t really care for mothers day either. Nor do I care for Valentine’s day.

I am a mother everyday, and I love my husband everyday, I don’t need a capitalistic holiday that requires spending money to celebrate this.

I’ll take the cake on mother’s day, but mostly it’s for my kid and husband feel good for doing something, not because I expect it. Corpo holidays can fuck off wirh their expectations, yes

Fine, yes. I was just throwing an idea out there. I don’t know how to pirate shit anymore, and am to an age where I can afford to support artists directly, so if one can, one should.

Where did the music to pirate come from back in the day? Was it not uploaded from a CD and then file shared?

I did learn in this thread there are numerous other streaming services I was completely unaware of, so thats cool

No algorithm but buying physical media again is one path.

A few months ago I got a couple CDs and I’m hoping to rebuild my collection and get off Spotify. It supports artists better, and YouTube is still there to help discover new music.

Buy a CD a month instead of your service. A roll back for technology of course, but worth trying imo

Our musicians are getting fucked with streaming services and I like directly supporting them.

“My opinion is that general failures of liberal parties to actually make life better, and reduce corruption. People have lost faith.”

They absolutely have lost both faith and hope. Our institutions lack integrity.

I’d love to see a conversation of smart people discussing how we solve the underlying problems of fascism
