I’m in the same boat as the other reply, I can use them for a lot of stuff but for ANYTHING work related even just viewing my schedule let alone sending HR a sick note or w/e I need chrome proper to log into the organization’s intranet. Degoogled chromium, even Firefox just keeps reprompting me to enter my authenticator codes.

I get a high skin fade and buzz all my body hair once every month or two. Really gets the airflow in all the crevices for a bit. Anything more than that seems exhausting.

yeah it would be cool to not die painfully while waiting for that. quickly sure but maybe not neurodegenerative disease or smthg

I think knowing the population density and the amount of grocery stores in your area will add a lot of context to this question. Like even broadly is this either a rural area or an urban neighborhood with one real grocery store within 5 miles? I’ve lived in both and I’m not giving up fresh hummus for you even if you were a complete asshole. Even if you were stalking me you’d find out a long while before I give up on portobellos (not victim blaming, most of my personality traits that scare off weirdos are considered mental illness).

Temporal bedroom divorce. I’m only in it during the day he’s only in it at night. Sometimes I try to snuggle up to him while he’s sleeping for a midnight nap and he gets up to move to the couch and I cry a little inside. Nice to have no sleeping disruptions but a lot less cuddles.

Me: I renewed my license this year.

Them: how does a $50k sign-on bonus sound?

Me: extremely suspicious.

The therapy was integral; it helped me contextualize the experience properly. Not everyone can afford it and that’s important to mention.

I did a horrible and dangerous job for 2 years while undergoing the most intensive psychotherapy that exists. It improved my social skills, developed a skillset that’s rare and highly valued in my chosen field, and completely recalibrated my sense of hardship.

I use tarot cards. They’re pretty and I get to be the weird bog witch I always wanted to grow up to be.

I would give my life’s savings if you were able to give me 101% certainty that you would turn all Jeff bezos properties that he owns or any company of his owns literally countrywide into homeless shelters and make him live in a 2 bed 2 bath in the suburbs because that would also mean if I lost my job I would have somewhere to go and that’s already more certainty of safety than my life currently has.

I finally revamped the tree of life diagram for the index of my notebook on esoteric spiritual traditions. Every element is clickable / tappable and goes to a different place in the obsidian notebook:

My (shorter) answer: the same reason the Romans called both Isis and Aphrodite Venus (and they tried to roll Jesus into Dionysus / Bacchus interestingly enough).

Strip mall fundie cult backrooms.

I’d play that.

Less “competitive” mindset I think. I feel like homophobia has resulted in a lot of men taking their pent up sexual aggression out on women when they might otherwise be able to identify themselves as bi and just work out those feelings with another dude. Instead we have all these men spiraling into emotional black holes because women don’t want them right this second. I’ve heard anecdotally that if everyone felt 100% comfortable being honest bi people would probably be the true majority. So it’s not like it would fix the incel problem but there might be few enough that they couldn’t concentrate into inescapable singularities.

You’re probably the closest yet.

Humans anthropomorphize pretty much everything around us with varying levels of accuracy. I’m fairly certain that my dog and cat feel anger and love in a very similar way to the way I do. I’m pretty sure plants really don’t, but they might a little bit more than a storm cloud. However you apply that to your spirituality or your perception of that of others is going to be a highly personal experience for you.

a) most of the time you actually don’t want to know. You take precautions with everybody, half the time knowing just makes it harder to pass dinner trays.

b) they also just. hire brand new adults with highschool diplomas. give them a two week crash course in psychiatry. then just. “Here’s the criminally insane men!”

Yeah I worked with criminally insane men for two years before moving on to normal acute psychiatry. For the most part they’re just sad and petty. There was only one that ever truly gave me the heebie jeebies and one after in regular acute. In both cases though I did not know what they had done until later; in the moment there was just this instant visceral NOPE feeling.

Honestly that dude and the person super into dragon sex are actually the best trolls I’ve met. 100% harmless and it’s wild how many people DON’T just hit the block button when they find them annoying. They’re like a built in litmus test for whether a Lemmy user is a fully developed adult who can avoid getting entangled in dumb conversations (which apparently you are).
