  • I dunno what dating experience you have, or even if everyone does this. Only speaking to my own experience, i used to calculate whether i was being a good mate or whether i was being taken advantage, that kind of thinking. When i met my partner all that stuff disappeared.

    I glossed over the “get head right” stage but that was the most important bit for me, and may be where you are in life if you follow my path.

    I am and have always been a romantic, really wanted to be with someone. Gave up even looking for dates and focused on my own head and life. Went to the gym, got a little project to do, (you know, that pat shit everyone says to do like it’s fucking easy.)

    It just happened to be something i was capable of in that moment. I i discovered them what it means when ppl say exercise is good for your brain. And then, while i was busy minding my business i got chased down and married by someone who saw more in me than i see in myself.

    I’m definitely not special in any way, solid 6/10. That means it can happen to you even tho it sounds like I’m blowing smoke up your ass.

    Anyway i don’t know how to finish this, but i really empathize with where you are cuz i was there too. i just wanna extend the belief to you that you can get here, you really can.



  • The term “algorithm” in this context is simply a convenient term hiding the intentional right wing radicalization of users to push them towards pro-business policies, so can we please call this out more often?

    I’m quite tired of “algorithm” standing in for the intentions behind the owners who write and maintain it.

    It was also an “algorithm” that inflated rent around the country, right?

    An algorithm, yes. Written with the intention of inflating rent.

    It’s not an accident. Algorithm my hair-hole












  • I was driving outside of Phoenix one time in stop and go construction traffic. 5 Lanes were going down to like 2 or 3 and i was leaving space in front of me in a non-ending lane for people to merge in. I dunno what was up but people were not having itthat day. No takers no matter how many lengths i gave. Honking, cussing, etc. i kept on, doin my thing until a fuckin winnebago swerved from my lame behind me just to fill the gap i made.

    I dunno if it was just hot that day or if phoenix hates merging or what, but i never forgot that wild shit


  • Well, i’m just goin by how insurance ends up working in the us so take it for what it’s worth. Problem is for-profit insurance companies in the States are so badly regulated they are denying the very claims they exist to pay. You are right that people need help and i didn’t really offer an alternative. If you pressed me on how, i guess i’d advocate govt. assistance for disaster relief as a superior choice. It would be far better for citizens money to be spent on taxes towards this than to a private company. How do i know this? I don’t, but my experience how private insurance “serves” me and people i know here in the land of the free couldn’t be fuckin worse.
