They want every woman to be a Michelle Duggar - get married as a minor, start popping them out ASAP, and keep the Xerox machine running until someone dies.

When capitalism ends and we all finally revolt, we will be truly free.

LMFAO I was supposed to have my shit figured out before I had kids?

As much as I enjoy the fact that my active parenting years are over, I have many regrets about being a young and stupid parent. Not sure we were ever ready for that shit.

My oldest was born in 2007. I was born in 1985.

You are lucky tbh. So many “local” newspapers are owned by giant corporations. Here in Canada we even have a boatload that are owned by those same American corporations. I helps push narratives among people who are more likely to be isolated or disenfranchised and it works really well.

I have always been a little bit jealous of people who can be sold on religion. It must be nice to have the comfort that comes with it, especially if you’re the type to ignore all the rules and think that you’re going to the good place just because you had faith.

I am not scared of dying exactly, I’m afraid that something might come after when I just want to sleep. What if a religion got it right? Good place or bad, I’m not down with that. I want finality in my end.

She, Canadian, and not from TV. Most of my growing up we didn’t have TV. I just didn’t want to make other people the way people made me feel.

By knowing how shitty it felt to be treated badly and not wanting to make others feel that way, unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure I’m a decent person and I’ve never had a support network. Kind of had the opposite, really but at very least I try to be a good person and I feel remorse when I fail.

I feel like the salt water would affect the sweetness of the pineapple. I down with sweet and salty but soggy, salt water pineapple might have to bean exception.

The American Dream was an illusion. It was all propaganda for convince people to feed themselves to the capitalist machine for a chance at living the dream life, but even people who aren’t trapped under years of medical debt or homeless or visible minorities don’t have it easy, they’ve just been convinced that’s as good as it gets.

You accepting that you don’t fit into a box gives you a leg up on both the weirdos and the normal people. Everyone is a bit of both when the stop repressing themselves.

Thanks, but I smoke for pain and anxiety and have done so for over a decade, irrational thoughts have never been an issue. I only added it because OP mentioned they hadn’t done drugs in almost a week and I was feeling surly.

I think a lot of our decisions are made unconsciously because they “feel” right based on past experiences. We probably don’t notice the process that makes the decision so we try to justify it afterwards but we’re only guessing. But I’m not smart and I’ve smoked a joint in the last half hour so I could be way off base.

I find that most people assume cigarettes when they refer to smoking.
