80’s was peak change my mind

“centrists”

I think I know what your mom’s favorite food is

What happens is some kid gets a gossip app which takes their contact data and then uses it to send this shit.

I used to get it pretty often too when I was in school.

Transfem atheist in the south so yes yes and yes

$300/p could more or less cover a good chunk of the US population though. It’d be a good start and in theory take some of the stress off of the insurer. Far from ideal but it could’ve been a good step.

You’d think $300 would cover the Dentist, Eye Doctor, and Annual checkups and some cheaper prescriptions. But I will admit idk if the pricing we see is much different from other pricing.

That’s all well and good, but my community would probably kill me eventually so…I’ll stick to not talking to them.

I’m not a huge reader, ADHD ensures that. Also the now “traditional”(?) Anime/Manga art style leaves little to be desired for me. (It feels like the Times New Roman for cartoons) so I generally avoid most mangas. But I’ve enjoyed the fuck out of Junji Ito’s stories despite the disturbing imagery. But Tomi’s recurring character is great.

With how common the isekai the seems to go I feel like it’s become the “rouge-like” of literature though. It cropped up out of nowhere and now I’ve got middle aged men at my job referencing the word. Wild stuff

It also sucks if all the content is exclusively paywalled. I wouldn’t know what is or isn’t good without potentially wasting my hard earned money. I can’t even afford rent let alone a series of patreon services. I support creators when I can, but I refuse to be a fucking product for simply being poor.

I listen to a lot of music. And I hear musicians that are objectively more talented than her, both instrumentally, and vocally. Not just writing, but producing and performing their own music, yet they do not make millions upon millions of dollars because they didn’t have a rich daddy.

She cornered a demographic, with technically simple and catchy music, then with the help of her rich parents utilized her nepotism to get her career going.

She’s the fast food of pop music. I’m sure as an individual she’s okay. But she is NOT where she is today because of her talent alone.

Oh today I learned, TBH my information was probably out of date. But this is good to know. Definitely a step in the right direction even if more diversified public transportation options are better

A self image that has been instilled through years and years of highly targeted, and highly researched ad campaigns.

People “want” these because they believe they need it, because the ads told them they need it. Then the other men who own those vehicles proceed to shit on the men with smaller trucks, and those insecure enough to bend over get the big truck as well.

I don’t see this truck culture in Europe. I don’t see people buying stupid vehicles to go offroading full of expensive gadgets and so on. While I’m sure it exists in small pockets it is by no means the level it’s at here. (In Europe it’s probably more for sports cars anywho)

Point being, no one wanted those SUVs until the car companies told them they want those SUVs.

I’ve heard this plenty of times, but are you using that field? Are you using that forest? This road that road? Are you using the parking lot in Seattle when you live in Georgia?

“We have the space for bigger vehicles” does not make sense when we have to drive farther and farther to reach things that are useful for us. (Also sprawling development destroys local ecosystems, and along with that, natural resources.)

While I would’ve agreed with you a few years ago, it’s just not a realistic thought process when most people live their day-to-day lives in an area about the size of Luxembourg.

Big vehicles are a huge waste of valuable resources that could’ve been used on other things, such as infrastructure, public transport, smaller vehicles. Etc.

They are tricked into wanting big vehicles.

Please no I am trying to leave
