While this is always good advice, some things just aren't really changeable without cosmetic surgery. I have a good BMI and whatnot, but I'm definitely not a supermodel. But say you're only attracted to supermodels for some stupid reason and you can't fix that.

While nice of you to say, it's not particularly realistic. Some dude from My 600 Lb Life is not dating Angelina Jolie unless there is something else going on.

Does babby come out of man's pee hole or poop hole

My supervisor is a bit of a bully at times, but it's not so direct and frequent that I have much of a case for HR, unfortunately. Especially because I often act irrationally with her specifically when my buttons are pushed. If I was a better employee in terms of interpersonal relationships, I could potentially build more of a "case" against her. As it stands, she has plenty of "evidence" to get me fired if I spoke up.

In that particular instance, there was a miscommunication about the lunch schedule. My friend did something to attempt to be helpful, but there was some confusion and it did not go over as intended. My supervisor accused my friend of having a "conspiracy theory" about the lunch schedule, then proceded to lecture her about how much "time was wasted" in the confusion.

My supervisor actually often makes valid points. She just acts like a condescending bitch when she does so.

Recently, my supervisor at work was berating my friend over something ridiculous. I was standing 2 feet away when it occurred. I was surprised at how it oddly put me back into my childhood, reminding me of when my dad would scream at my mom and I was powerless to stop it. I ended up blubbering some nonsense to try to distract my supervisor, but it didn't really work. It's frustrating to not be able to protect those you care about. I guess it's in my nature to want to fiercely defend the people who I am loyal to, but I also don't have a way to do it without getting myself or the person I am defending in trouble.

As a kid, I would always flip on the TV for the evening episode of the Simpsons too haha! Except I swear for me it was 5pm.

I really like this one. Maybe it would scare leaders to not become corrupt scum of the earth. Saving it for people who impact the most lived makes the most sense to me.

Idk if she was my bully necessarily, but the interactions with that group of people fucked with me. Anyway, she became a therapist which I thought was absolutely fucking wild. I wonder if she ever thinks about the way she acted as a teen.

This is why I can't be one of those people who drink their morning coffee at work instead of before work. Because then I'll have to shit in public instead of at home and then I won't have as much time to complete my work.

Well, when people wrong me in very significant ways, I actually don't forgive and tolerate them. Especially when said people repeat the harmful behaviors to others over and over again, often without remorse. In that regard, I'm not necessarily being a ton different in the way I view myself. One of the problems is that I continue to do X even when I try not to.

Idk if any of that made sense.

I hear this a lot. I know you're just answering the OP, but I just wanted to say I have a hard time with this. The point is that it's me and that I know better than to do X. So what then?

I just looked up your source. That is of new vehicles sold. While a good start, you're skipping my latter part about people not replacing their vehicles for a decade. Only 3% of vehicles globally on the road are EVs per the source.

Do you mean physical money in terms of paper/plastic/coins or money as a concept? If the latter, how would society function?

20 years though? That's incredibly generous and unlikely imo.

People are refusing to tackle the infrastructure issue of people charging their cars who do not own single family detached homes. It's a significant population of people for which owning an electric vehicle is a huge inconvenience. Public charging stations exist, but take significantly longer than the 2 minutes it takes to pump gas.

The second big thing is that people simply don't replace their cars that often. Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I had read recently that the average person replaces their vehicle every 7-12 years...and it is often not with a brand new vehicle. Considering how electric cars still make a very small percentage of those on the road, I can't see 100% removal of gas vehicles in 20 years in only a few generations of vehicle ownership change.

The Nissan Leaf came out around 15 years ago as the first big name, somewhat popularish electric vehicle. Yet in 2025 electric vehicles are nowhere close to even 50% of vehicles on the road.

In the more distant future? Sure. 20 years ain't happening tho.

But we'll see!

How is this a meme

Congratulations, man! :)

Another vote for Discord. I mostly see it used to text chat. The vast majority of servers are not dating focused.

A caveat...I'm also in my 30s. Unfortunately, most Discord servers are filled with teens. But there are plenty of servers with adults in them as well. Just search for keywords like "21+," "25+", or "30+" and you're golden! Again unfortunately, it means you generally have to just look for a general purpose, age limiting server instead of ones based on hobbies or location. But works fine enough for chatting.

I am part of many servers, but I actually only talk to one that is made specifically of online friends I met in the days when forums were popular. But one of the servers I have in my list is for 25+ and seems pretty chill. I've never really chatted in there, but I can send you a link to it in a DM if you're interested.

Edit: I have nothing against teens. It's just awkward considering you're in vastly different life stages. It also just feels a bit creepy to me.

Do you wirelessly charge your device?

This is why I don't agree with the moneybro Redditors who seem to want you to put every penny into investing for retirement or working aggressively to pay down student loans or your mortgage...leaving little money to use for day to day enjoyment.

We have absolutely no idea how long we will live. I think there's a healthy balance between investing for the future and enjoying the now.

I'd be surprised if any celebrity was on Lemmy lol. It seems like it would be for everyone! That sounds pretty interesting to me!
