Yeah, I think about this a lot. I tend to think of myself as a good person (making other people happy makes me happy) but if, somehow, I was made Queen of Earth the first thing that would HAVE to happen is I’d need a panel of people who aren’t afraid to tell me “no”. I would absolutely be a dictator otherwise
As an impatient adult my solution is to wear shoes without laces. I have a pair of boots that use laces, and a pair of sneakers with laces that I never wear. Everything else is slip on or zip up. I’d wear velcro, too, I don’t even care if it looks ridiculous (only I’ve never had that option as an adult)
Maybe the peaches (small and furry) are close enough to kittens, so instinct kicked in and they’re like “idk why but I need to protect and cuddle these things”
While I generally STRONGLY agree with this sentiment there are some things that I either find too repulsive or offensive to want to see on my feed. People calling for the death of politicians, or insisting that everyone other than them is intellectually inferior, or just the general usage of derogatory terms… yeah I don’t need to be angry :D
ETA: it also felt like there was way too much Russian and Chinese propaganda on a lot of those. As an American that gave me the ick
Thanks for your input. Where are you going to school/did you go to school? How did you like your neurology class?
Sidenote: I hope that someday we are able to look at most psychological disorders as physiological disorders. I feel like more people would get the help that they need, (and society would be more accepting of it) if we looked at it through that lense instead of thinking of it like something people have complete control over by themselves. The brain is another organ, after all
Ok, fair, but there are alternatives as well. They have little pocket calendars, or you can scribble the date on a piece of paper and keep it in your purse/wallet/under your bed. Even the regular calendar on your phone can be used for this purpose- just put an emoji on the start date, or write a word like “appointment”. If you have a pc or laptop there should be a calendar you can use, a word-type document or sticky notes. Or you can write the start dates on the inside of a box of tampons or pads if you use those.
Like… I totally understand the frustration that comes with losing something you’re used to, but the world changes whether we like it or not. We have to adapt to the society that we live in, it isn’t going to adapt to us. Again, that doesn’t mean I think we shouldn’t fight for change if we deem it necessary, but it won’t benefit you to just be angry at it and lament what was lost
I’m in the “her life her business” camp, but I can at least see how that could be a problem given teachers like Mary Kay (I can’t spell her last name, the blonde that seduced the 6th grader) but I’m also in the camp of: “parents it’s your responsibility to police your kids” if the parents are concerned about their kids seeing nudity
And there you misunderstood me. I wasn’t trying to shame anyone. Rather I was genuinely confused why people couldn’t use a calendar.
When I first got my period that’s how I learned to record it. If some emp comes along and wrecks everything all our data will be lost- but I’ll still have my calendar (maybe). Menstruating people would have to learn to cope!
I just can’t wrap my head around people’s inability to adapt to changing circumstances. I’m not shaming them for it. Just surprised by the inflexibility and unwillingness to adjust
Oh, I agree. That doesn’t change reality, though. We can fight for our rights and still find a work around. In this case, by using paper that can’t be tracked by the government
What bothers me is the all-or-nothing mentality people have. If something changes work around it until it can be fixed. I definitely don’t mean “just give up” I mean- find alternatives until things are set right
I’m sorry that you have to eat out of a garbage can. There might be some soup kitchens around that’ll be willing to help you out! You’re right. I should be ashamed of myself for… checks notes… cooking
We have 4 and 4 is too many as well. 3 max. Any more than that is just insanity. Fur everywhere, litter everywhere, vomit every week, vet bills, food bills, making sure all 4 get enough play time and cuddles, being the cat police when an argument breaks out… it’s a headache
