I could get rid of my dog Zoey but she's literally the only reason I get out of bed these days. So that's a none starter. (single male, looking for the DINKWD life style. Any active women in Colorado in their 40s/30s looking to split bills? 🤣😂)
Floating bills. Last month was phone service. It's actually currently cut off. This month I'm floating my medical insurance and medications. Next month is internet and car insurance. (additionally I've cut all discretionary spending, driving up to my home town to see my parents, and have cut 1 to 2 meals a day.)
Many researchers believe this accelerating global shift is being driven in large part by a positive reality. Young couples, and women in particular, have far more freedom and economic independence. They're weighing their options and appear to be making very different choices about the role of children in their lives.
Lol the wolves are upset the sheep aren't breeding enough.
Culture... Whenever I go over seas I'm actually surprised how fast US culture is disappearing. Movies, music, and such was something we held a strong monopoly on. But but that's only because we're the most technically advanced to mass produce such things. Now. Nearly every other nation especially China's and Russia's "Hollywood" pumps out enough content to satisfy their demographics. American (western) content used to be the only thing on the shelves over seas. Now we're relegated to just a corner. The world doesn't care as much about our pop music and movies. Those have greatly decreased in quality anyways.
This. The only thing outside of oil we can export in mass is our agricultural products. But years of disinformation and corporations greed even our dirt is infected with their taint.
Do people not realize that if any wild animal wants to ruin your day there's nothing you can do about it if you get too close? Giraffe max speed 37 mph. Humans 21 mph. Choose wisely.
Abortion not only needs to be legal but medical privacy needs to be absolute. The only way to have restrictions on abortion care (or any medical care) is to have government knowledge on all medical treatment given to individuals. This will also protect LGBTQ+ and men.
It used to be known as swyft keyboard. Then Microsoft gobbled it up a couple years back. Now it fucking has copilot. I have never fucking once started a sentence with "Con" I've started a whole fucking bunch with congratulations! (I work in education and that's how I text and email parents when they've been taken off the after school program wait list. Wait list because we don't have the funding to support more children. But my phones Ai got a carve out on this recent budget bill... We are sooo fucked.)
No usually my phones keyboard would finish con-gratulations when I double hit spacebar. But the last update decided my keyboard app I've been using for 5 years now with no issues needed Ai. And the Ai decided my 5 years of predictive typing is wrong and I ment con. I'm so annoyed I don't correct it half the time.
Don't be crazy. That's way to advanced.
