“Don’t call yourself queer because it’s unspecific and my mental picture of a ‘queer person, is bad”
FOH. Yeah leftist means a lot of shit but it doesn’t make it a bad term. If you ask a self proclaimed “leftist” to clarify and they can’t, that’s the issue, not the fact that they uttered “leftist.”
lost me at “positive discrimination” tf is this blog post
When your only options to get a generic household item are Amazon, Walmart, or Temu. Temu feels like the best option here.
my comment is like 45% fr 55% hyperbole
Is this supposed to be funny? I have to drive 45 min each way for work instead of spending that time reading or playing games on a train and you think that’s humorous?
sorry this meme makes me sad
where mexican wrestler???
I yearn for giant sloths
If I’m every “second screening” the second screen is always the tv. The tv is a background noise machine. I have two monitors on my PC is that second screening?
honestly think it’s a dumb concept used to portray people as getting dumber. People have used TV as background noise forever and they used radio before that. If a piece of video media actually demanding your attention you shouldn’t even be able to “second screen”
It’s good to strive to rise above societal programming but don’t be so hard on yourself for succumbing to it! Most people really need outside validation and I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with that, it’s very human. We’re social creatures it’s incredibly important to our development as individuals and as a species.
The other thing I’ll say is that often times unhealthy lifestyles can really affect you mentally. I know good food and exercise help my mental state a lot (even though I kinda disdain the concept).
“We don’t know what to look for” What utter dogshit. I work in environmental testing and it’s really not hard to blanket test soil samples for pretty much anything we currently recognize as “bad.”
They don’t want to spend the money on testing only to lose more money when they can’t sell their product.
Yeah duhhh the corps will take care of the roads and hospitals because how else will people buy their products if they can’t get anywhere or get sick and die. They have a vested interest. It’s simple economics really.
Yup
Finally I was worried I’d used my constitutional rights with no punishment /s
I find myself needing a connection to what feels like “the real zeitgeist” that I can only get through an app like instagram or TikTok. Reddit is cool sometimes (hexbear is cooler) but it doesn’t feel like a representation of real people I see in the world.
In this post-privacy world you can do your best to protect yourself but everything is taking your data. Not to say you shouldn’t try but I don’t think you should feel shame for enjoying the social connection.
Just watch yourself as you use the app it can go from cheerful connection to depressing alienation real quick (at least for me). I’m currently not using insta but I’m sure I’ll be back eventually once people start bugging me to see their memes.
That couldda named that ice skating twink anything. They knew what they were doing.
