Thrifting.

Yeah I know it has been ransacked by greedy resellers and Goodwill’s awful practices. But sometimes when you thrift, it is nice to sometimes get things you are after. Quite a money saver too. I think thrifting is a good anti-consumerism practice in days where people spend too much on new things that don’t do anything for them.

Then lie about how far they actually walked or dress it up as a progression story like “I’m going to lose weight and I started by this trail here!”. Knowing full well they didn’t do shit.

He doesn’t even know or care about how traditional tariffs are supposed to work. What makes him think he knows what the fuck is non-tariff? Old fucking moron.

I don’t know why you in particular keep asking questions and then deleting them.

If I’m going to pay premium for a phone that’ll last me a good few years tops, yes it is going to be protected.

Haven’t they already been crying and screaming for decades? What is it that they want to be heard over that they haven’t cried and screamed about before?

Advertisers and Marketers are hurrying now as to how to make advertisements on the road in this fashion and on the main road. You fucking wait.

You’ll have a flattening tire and your car drives over this particular groove and it’s going to be something for AAA insurance or something.

Pretty pointless.

Considering the relief of food regulations, is this any surprising?

To add to that, men were also turned to anime male figures like Kenshiro from the Fist of North Star as a key example that it is okay for men to cry. When for a long ass time, it was frowned upon for men to cry or show emotion.

I’m going to disagree with a few things here.

I don’t really see why people continue to blame the lockdown for why it has impacted socializing. There has been socially inept people before a pandemic took over so I really can’t see how this in anyway has had a strict and exclusive cause. Men in general, for years and years, have always had an awkward approach when it comes to females and it has only worsened.

I wouldn’t just put the magnifying glass on 4chan when Reddit and Kiwi Farms are just as bad if not worse.

The one key thing also to add is that, there had been fictional and even non-fictional mediums where women were seen as superior over and than that of men. It didn’t really help matters and only just fueled the opposition to behave, think and act the way men do today.

Same reason people flocked to Trump to vote for him, this false idealization that he was this bold, bright and strong leader.

Same reason people worshiped Musk, thinking he was and is the future with all of the money to do it.

It’s like any or all qualities of themselves that they lack or devoid of educating themselves or learning. They replace it with blind devotion.

Software. I’m in a time right now where finding alternatives is almost a must for me since things I have long leaned on, have gone the direction of just plain shit.

My dog’s death. I had to put him down over 14 years ago. And while the first 6 years was honestly tough to hard in that process, after that point, it steadily got easier to accept. I don’t ever plan to replace him, though.

Losing relationships, even the bad ones. It’s been 3 years since I had actually been with someone. But I think what really just kept stinging me and making me reluctant to try again was that the last three relationships I had been in, I was really pouring into what I thought was my best in resources, time and effort. Yet they ultimately weren’t enough because of both circumstances out of my control and not really knowing someone’s true colors until after the fact just ruined it all.

The thing with “lessening the pain” is that there isn’t one key solution that is applicable to everyone’s problems. Some people simply just - got over it, however they did. Others, leaned on hobbies, inspiration and influence. People with different approaches and handling.

Weed.

Until I see it realistically happen, he’s staying. It is all theater.
