Form Guerilla force huh. How about we just start with civil disobedience. It’s a good litmus test; most of us here aren’t willing to risk getting arrested for even minor infractions.
Civil disobedience is rarely a productive tool. Unless you already know how the media will cover you (if they will at all), you’re just getting yourself and potential comrades fucked over by the legal system.
After ruining copyright law and borrowing from public domain works, Disney finally loses a property to public domain. An incredible start to the new year!
I recently just cleanly got out of Facebook after a decade.
Deleted all my comments, all my media and all my posts, and left all groups and unfriended everyone, then changed my name and my URL and finally disabled/deleted my account.
I think a psychopathy index for the fortune 500 would be in order. They get points for displaying features of the dark triad and get publicly shamed for it. Anyone interested in making this?
Sorry. I’m just trying to do something with my time until I go to the Mayo Clinic on the 15th. I can leave though. Some people here seem to want me to…
Edit: Or maybe not the 15th. They lost my appointment. Rescheduled for March 28th. Meanwhile, I’m looking elsewhere.
No one is universally loved. Everyone brave enough to put themselves out there will have people push back and talk trash. If doing what you do brings you some joy, do your best to ignore them and push on.
I appreciate it, but I don’t think I’m dying quite yet. And it’s definitely not cancer or anything like that. Honestly, despite all that, I feel fine most of the time. Which is part of what makes it so weird.
Random question, but do hot showers help? I noticed a while back that you mentioned weed on some comment or other. I once lived with this family who had a woman in her late 50’s who was a chronic (and I mean CHRONIC) user. She was struggling with nausea that was only alieviated by hot showers (idk why she told me this we weren’t close). Turns out there’s a condition:
I’m afraid there’s nothing for them to help with. Hyperemesis is extremely unlikely. I don’t vomit, I dry heave. And usually only once a day, soon after I get up. And hyperemesis also involves nausea, which I don’t have.
From what I’ve seen one dude is salty and everyone else (including myself) is happy to have your contributions! I don’t necessarily agree with you on everything you post, but you’re respectful and actually back up what you say. I respect that a hell of a lot more than someone who I’m in complete agreement with, but plugs their ears at the first sign of pushback.
Thanks. I hate the Reddit squabbling. I wish people could disagree without insults and I won’t take part in it. I also think people should back up their claims. I don’t expect everyone to feel the same way I do, I just wish so many people didn’t.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the US gave Israel funds as this meme is implying (other than maybe humanitarian aid). They are willingly selling them weapons though.
Nobody might want advice here and feel free to vote this down but go out into the real world and find something to do where other people are.
A little more than 7 years ago, after being single for 6 years, I went to a dog park with my dog and met a woman that interested me. We showed up at the same time and talked each time, I asked her out after a month. We went out New Year’s Eve and have been together since.
It doesn’t always work but you can do it, random meme watchers have done it, so it is possible.
It sucks such thing does not exist where I’m from. Even if she was earning 10x times more than you, she does not contribute a penny to your kids , house or bills. I’m not making this up
not possible due to our situation. me and my family are travel banned by the government, siblings in jail, and Im the only one with my mom. it sucks I know
I tried this once. Went to the dog park, chatted up a girl over a period of a month. I finally got the courage to ask her on a date, and she said yes! The date (dinner and a local concert) went great - we ended up back at my place and I can honestly say it was some of the best sex of my life.
Then she ghosted me and we never talked again. That was 2017, and I’m still not over it. Thanks for the advice though.
I’m definitely not promising it will work perfectly. I was single with a dog and going to dog parks for 5 years before that but was at first not ready to date as I had just separated from my partner of 9 years.
Dog parks are just good places to meet people, some you won’t know their names, some you will know them by their dog’s name, some you will know their names and meet outside of the dog park.
Being social is the key to whatever type of relationship you want.
Don’t get too high hopes about people until you really know them. So it was the best sex ever? Cherish that memory but don’t stop living. And 2017, and you’re still not over that? Really dude (or dudette?), don’t just get over that, get over yourself. Stop stop living, start living. Take risks, get hurt. Yes, you’ll get some bruises along the way, it will build character, you will learn and improve until you find that perfect person and by then it will not only be that that person is perfect for you, you will then also finally be perfect for that person because honestly right now you don’t sound perfect for anybody. Don’t that that last bit wrong, it just means you gotta work on yourself. Relationships are a lot of work, I spent huge amounts of time on reflecting, thinking about how I can make my wife smile, trying to improve myself, etc…
I make a point of it to smile. Every. Single. Time. That. I. See. Her. I do anyway because she’s fucking gorgeous, but even so, i make sure. It makes her day multiple times per day, and seeing her smile makes me smile even more. A real relationship is a lot of work and it’s so damn worth it, but you gotta be ready for it too. If you’re not willing to do the work now how are you supposed tondo the work once you find that special someone?
You gotta get out there, and get hurt. It’s part of the process. I got hurt (and unfortunately hurt others myself) on multiple occasions and I’m fine. You’ll be fine. It sucks in the moment, but you process it, give it a space somewhere in your memories and you go on to the next one. Believe me, you will get hurt a few more times (and build great memories in the process too, by the way, let’s not forget that), you will learn what to do, what not to do, you’ll learn not to immediately get strung up by the first girl and declare her your undying love within 5 minutes of meeting her, that usually doesn’t end well. Also not the second girl, nor the third , and not within 5 minutes… after a while you’ll find that super special one.
like that you will get better because it’s not only about the others, its about you too. Grow up.
As long as you stay safely on your shelter, you will stay alone for your entire life. If that’s what you want, fine. But I think it’s not, so this year go out, get out, take risks, get hurt, be happy.
And it’s pretty ignorant. If it were a picture of the white house instead of who’s in it for a couple years then it wouldn’t be so dumb. Better would be a picture of Congress.
Right?! American foreign policy is pretty much exactly the same regardless of who is in the oval office, well except for 45 who was somehow managed to run foreign policy even worse than the status quo.
That person is one of the few usernames I consistently recognize here on lemmy as well, consistently has high quality comments and great arguments. Definitely a great person to have here on lemmy, thanks Flyingsquid!
No he made a completely stupid and uninformed comment about guns and when he got corrected he got all pissy. He’s unable to do any research on his own and instead ask for evidence and when it’s presented he gets upset for being dense.
It really feels like !sub should be the default but I get the issue. Different instances. But you’d feel like it would just default to whatever instance you’re already on lol.
The joys of being cradled by tech monoliths then going back to the stone age.
You’re telling me I have to type in the entire address!?!?!
