yeah, they might not be therapists, but to start pontificating at someone you’re supposed to care about instead of listening to them and having a conversation? that’s just being a bad friend. it doesn’t just feel dismissive, it is dismissive. op’s friend was not engaging with how they feel and what they’re going through, they’re telling op how they want them to be. and you can absolutely “get it right.” you can listen, engage and commiserate. show sympathy and empathy.

I’ve been on the receiving end of several of those talks and let me tell you most of those people never gave a shit to begin with. the rest are just bad at communicating. just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it’s good.

we can all do better, be better.

meth or dex?

Yeah like I agree with the thought but the mail is kinda sacred.

I’m not well versed in this but I was under the assumption that anyone who worked 32 or more hours was eligible for some kind of insurance through their employer, which is why so many people are stuck at 31 hours a week.

I agree with a lot of your points, however, outdoor cats are really bad for local wildlife, so from a purely utilitarian standpoint there’s less animal suffering by keeping them inside. And they’re not slaves, we don’t force them into labor under penalty of death. You could argue for prisoners i suppose.

We fostered some feral kittens and I was worrying about the same stuff, restricting freedom and such, and then there was a big storm w hail and I went down to check on the kittens and they were cozy as hell.

There’s more to it than just deprivation. One of ours is the baby of a feral momma but our lil girl has never seen a hard day in her life, no outside, no shelters. And seeing how much personality she has just melts my heart.

beautiful, succinct.

dude throw the stand down and hop off for a sec. you can even put the bag down on the seat if that helps

yeah it’s because of all the trauma your generation put us through

you don’t get to “reclaim” fag unless you’re queer fyi

Here’s a few more in a reddit thread.

I thought Odyssey was just gun nuts? When did the shitters get there?

does Tetris suck too then?

Bloodborne is a a tapestry of suffering and fear. it’s beautiful.

I was under the impression that the decentralized nature of this platform was one of the main selling points. trying to get everyone on a single instance kinda defeats that’s purpose doesn’t it?

I was thinking of office buildings where all of the interior walls are glass

I’m not really sure, I think I misread lol

I’m really confused how you got from polyamory to ‘getting screwed by a man.’
