Whether one believes that the lives of women are morally considerable, for example! (or best case scenario - worth as much as whatever tax savings one thinks they’ll reap 😒)

Oh yeah totally. It’s just politics and not at all a reliable determinant of whether your potential partner will treat you as an equal🙄

Sounds like you’ve got your bases covered. The only thing I might add is getting legal advice from someone who specializes in ADA/Title II. Unfortunately, there isn’t really an effective escape from workplace bullying other than to GTFO if HR is unhelpful.

FWIW I think the majority of people struggle with mental and physical health working 40/hr a week in earnest. It’s not sustainable and I wish we’d stop pretending like it is just because it’s less heinous than what predated it.

From what I understand, most employ various strategies to avoid literally working for 40 hours. The jobs that aren’t conducive to this (cough cough Amazon delivery and warehouse) are especially barbaric.

If you’re neurodivergent it’s much harder to retain a job in virtue of likability/social connections so you’re more likely to have to put your nose to the grindstone to get by.

Humans should not be coerced to sell all of the concentrated effort/time they get in a week (and then some) just to survive.

This thread really showcases white fragility.

Had to have surgical intervention a few weeks ago and am getting mild pangs of renal colic pain on the other side. I’m drinking tons of water and crossing my fingers hard that these stones don’t require intervention 🤞

Other than that life feels like a mess right now and I’m trying to be more intentional about addressing things this week.

Anyone have good advice for making friends in one’s thirties? Online or IRL?

Too much to hope that this means workers are angry enough about capitalism to do something about it?

This link is just scam popups for me. Seems like spam.

Right there with you. It would be so awesome to find friends who are equally earnest and dedicated. I’m a shirt-off-my-back kind of person face-to-face and it’s like mooches and cluster Bs can smell me a mile away. Might have something to do with cPTSD or being neurodivergent in my case.

My spouse reflects my efforts 110% so I truly have no business complaining, but it’s nice to dream.

To be considered financially independent on FAFSA so less student debt. It was terrible long-term planning but turns out we really get on so it worked out.

I’m not hung up on the theoretical particulars. Whatever results in eating the rich and abolishing coerced labor most expediently. In software, we iterate. Not sure why we can’t do the same with society.

Started the week with kidney stones so it’s probably only getting better from there. Looking forward to ditching the ureteral stent.

Yeah I get nauseated any time I see that fucking URL - I won’t touch the content on principle. The only reasons to be concerned about population decline are sociopathic (I.e. economic power or imperialism). Like if you actually fucking cared about the longevity of humanity or biodiversity, you’d be advocating for human depopulation.

It’s worth mentioning that for folks who VR socially, the proliferation of the Meta hardware is a privacy concern regardless of whether one personally uses the device. There’s a fucking reason Meta subsidizes the damn things.

Three times a month for a long term relationship seems really low to me. Over a decade married and ~3-5x a week.

Neurodivergence doesn’t absolve people of accountability for their actions. Everyone has their own constraints to work around. One either has to avoid getting in situations where they can’t do right by others or adapt circumstances/behaviors to avoid harm. As a person with ADHD, there’s nothing more grating than others saying “Oh you can’t expect me to take responsibility for harmful this thing I do because ADHD!”. Explanations are not excuses.

Online gathering spaces not hostile to trans and gnc folks seem to be evaporating. It’s concerning with KOSA in the works in the US.

It’s been worth it for my spouse and me. Happy to pay for a product rather than being the product.

Most of the games of my childhood - they exclusively came from the <$5 bin 🙃 at least we had a PlayStation 2 but Crazy Frog Racer 2, Frogger: The Great Quest, Zathura, Animal Soccer World, and Street Vert Dirt are noteworthy “highlights”.

There’s a reason incels are incels and it’s not what they think it is.

In your expert opinion, which boots are the tastiest?
