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.
Drivers who don’t stop for pedestrians - especially the ones who pretend to not see you as if it means they don’t have to stop at the stop sign.
And people who don’t clean up after their dogs. It’s worse in the winter time when it’s already difficult enough to navigate the city.
I’m the kind of person who is very particular about the music I listen to, the wrong music is over stimulating - so I love streaming in that I can curate my playlist and have new music recommended to me based on what I like. I honestly don’t know how I would find new artists if it wasn’t for streaming - not like there’s an indie folk radio station I can just listen to…
I feel bad that the artists don’t get paid much though and I was considering switching to buying albums again, but I think that might make it so I support a few artists more but a lot of artists I like would consequently be supported less.
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.
That’s why I’m a communist, but most people are afraid of that term. I would settle for really good socialism in my lifetime though.
I hate being stuck as a wage slave creating wealth for the people standing on my shoulders, but I like to work and I like my job, it’s a strange place to exist.
I don’t want to work in order to survive but I want to be productive and keep my mind and body sharp while also contributing to the community. I like my job and while it seems mundane, it keeps me busy, gives me routine, gives my brain problems to solve, and is sometimes the most socializing I get. I just hate that I have to be afraid to lose my job or end up hungry or homeless because of it.
The American Dream was an illusion. It was all propaganda to 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.
Edited cause my grammar was weird.
If this is happening at work then you need to bring it up to his boss or someone above him, preferably a woman who won’t make excuses for him. Outside of work there’s not a lot you can do except let him know that it’s a huge red flag when older men want women without life experience.
I must be old cause for me it’s “Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Yum!” and I was already babysitting the target audience for The Rugrats by the time the movie came out.
Don’t have to remind me, thanks. The mirror does that.
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.
Boo.
I was so glad when that one got left behind.
