Gods this makes me feel old.. I bought their actual CD at a record store. 😂
Just put it on for a hit of nostalgia, definitely holds up in my eyes, though I can't compare to 1D since I've never actually listened to them lol
(E: this album reminds me of a time I don't like thinking back to too much, but genuinely loving listening to it again, thanks!)

Identifying warning signs of abuse early on is one prevention strategy to help people avoid abusive long-term relationships. Using university and online samples, the...
Great, but not much help unless as a society we normalise acting on those warning signs and walking away, instead of so harshly judging and even gaslighting those who do (until after its too late, when it changes to the "why didn't you leave" victim blaming).
Ok, so the first half of your reply is agreeing with me about normalising zero tolerance to red flags, but what is the two way street? Do you mean the people who don't walk away are the "other" side? Because putting it on them is exactly the kind of victim blaming I mentioned at the end of my reply..
I get where you're coming from, but you're not making the point you think you're making - even on the NHS you'd probably have to go private for that, unless you're on benefits in which case the NHS dentist has to see you, but will make you wait months and months for an appointment with their one burnt out NHS dentist who will do their best within their limits because they're only allowed to do the bare minimum on NHS patients (edit just to clarify: this isn't how it always was, and not "intentional" that people can't see an NHS dentist, there just aren't any, a result of dire underfunding and basically privatisation).
Yes, social healthcare is amazing and worth fighting for, but social healthcare under capitalism will still always favour profit over people, and the results are clear to see, which is why the only viable long term solution is to abolish capitalism, not fight for the stale crumbs it's willing to give.
Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...
Mine will sniff anything I eat, and anything I might drop on the floor, but has never actually proceeded to eat any of it.
If she looks very interested and it's safe for her to try (I eat a lot of garlic lol, which isn't), I'll give her a crumb, but she'll mostly sniff a bit more then leave it. The only thing of mine so far I've found she actually does eat and asks for more is doughnuts, which I only give her a tiny crumb of every now and then..
You falling for the theatre one presents a little better, doesn't mean they don't both lead to the exact same result, one just does it slower and politely enough to appease moderates such as yourself:
The idea that pointing out that modern "democracy" is a sham that's hurting us all in the name of capitalism, is in any way comparable to a racist dog whistle, only goes to show your privilege and wilful ignorance
If you can't make your point without being an ableist ass, maybe don't bother making it at all (in this case, you've not only shown yourself off as an ableist, but as one who has zero understanding of US politics, too, so you've really contributed nothing of any value, and have just made the community more hostile, great job)
Some people don't have a choice, or find it convenient for reasons that aren't relevant to you. You personally not needing something, doesn't mean no one else does.
Honestly, imagine being that self cantered..
We need to stop attempts to normalize the system that requires grind/hustle lifestyle to exist
Most people are killing their selves being killed by said system, that demands third jobs and to share apartments because those at the top need another yacht.

Excuse me? Utopic for who exactly? A racist with aspirations of colonisation powered by slave labour?
It's not an uninteresting post, but gtfoh with that noise...
And yet, op isn't Henry Ford Hitler, so questioning why they would describe it as such is still perfectly fucking valid..
They aren't quoting any other person or source, they weren't using anyone else's words or views, they gave their opinion on the matter, and they called it utopic, no one else, jfc.. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I was really excited to try this to try and figure out what the squeaky bird hiding in a tree by my window was, but it's not picking up anything (gives a pop up about how google assist interferes, but I've never had that enabled on my phone so I can't do much else) :(

I'm really liking the "new comments" feature, would it be possible to make it visible from profile overview as well as on the main feed? No big deal if not 👍
Screen is from main feed, but I had just seen it happen in my overview page (my profile), hence my edit to my earlier comment, but it happened on a post I made, and isn't on others, so that might have already existed?
The price used to be forgivable because they would last forever (though I hear that's not so much the case anymore) but yeah, I've had some of my worst blisters from DMs..
wait until you hear about renting (for those of us who really don't have a choice) - you get to be a wage slave and at the mercy of a greedy landlord..
Synched periods might happen in groups of people who get them due to pure chance, but it isn't an actual thing, and even if it was, it wouldn't be a decision one can just make.. 😂 (not laughing at you just at the idea that we have that kind of control over our periods.. If only!!!)

It's impossible to pick a single example or a favourite track, since they vary so widely in style and it depends on what mood your in! But some of the better known classics are (best heard on headphones, unless you have a really incredible audio system):
I'm stoned and don't know what I was expecting but that made me giggle a lot, and I'm also reeeealy glad I have food warming up, otherwise I would be really upset. 😂

curiosity got me so I did a search for his name with "writings" and a reddit post came up with this link. I haven't read any of it yet..
On one hand I really don't want to go down the rabbit hole, but I know my morbid curiosity will win at some point.. A little glad some of the detail has been removed, ngl..
