The secret to living to 110 was, don’t register your death.

yeah lol

short version: almost all “very old humans” are just dead and never register their deaths

Hey that’s cool. I get my music from “all songs considered” (new music Friday), the NPR podcast.

Last thing I enjoyed was the new album “embers” by God is an astronaut.

i have problems explaining my job to myself. As I sit on the floor, painting a wall or scrubbing the floor or as I’m trying to repair a door… yeah that’s not my job description

i went on knowyourmeme.com but couldn’t find what you said. that’s the first site i go to.

Or as the rest of the world calls it: a ghetto

Please listen to: × Kill James Bond (very funny leftist film critique)

× The worst of all possible worlds (funny absurdist pop culture reviews)

× worlds beyond number (DnD live play podcast)

you know what I always stan for? “former Twitter”. I just love that shit! I hope it always stays like this to show that the rebranding didn’T work

Maybe we don’t care about right-wing comments?

Wow a true retro misogynist meme. In the spirit of 2005, when this first circulated, let me repeat the same punchline:

“The animals warn predator, if you’re repelled by it, it’s working as intended”

Talk to them and react to their communication.

The biggest turn-on for any person is being taken serious and actively seeking consent.

That’s it. That’s the general advice.

“Back in my day” post, if I’ve ever seen one.

I mean you have wikihow but it’s not really high-quality all the way through. There doesn’t exist one guide. All of these topics are highly debatable, have different opinions with far different perspectives. Some things you just have to figure out yourself with the help given to you. Means: get as much info as possible, compare, talk to others, reflect on your own experience and expectations.

There is no “one better way” to do these common tasks. And many companies spend an insane amount of money to spread (mis)information on how best to eat, exercise, get to work, clean, dress, wash… So I don’t believe there’s “objectively” one way to do anything. Find your way.

Well I have 4 decades already and I’ve read a lot of books. Light and heavy. Because that’s what life and art is about. I don’t believe in comfort food all the time. Sometimes you just need the poetry of hardship.

To be fair: I am currently reading “how high we go in the dark” by Sequoia Namamatsu. It’s so sad. It’s speculative fiction, but everything is too real and too sad.

Being an adult means also confrontation with sad topics

I don’t agree in the slightest. Because if you care, you won’t do that probably. Self care is not about others, but about yourself, hence “self”. If you only bathe, are gentle, dress… because of others, maybe you have different issues

“Stop worrying what other people think” is bad advice anyway. It’s not like that’s a possibility for people with anxiety. Give concrete advice: self affirmation, reflective writing, journaling positive feedback…

No the issue is literally the micro rentals. Because before that, we had couchsurfing. Which was all the great things about spending time in a different city staying with locals WITHOUT stupid infrastructure to fuck up the whole country

I mean I don’t like what they’re doing to the housing market, yes, they’re inflating housing prices by reducing the incentive to sell, and there’s a housing crisis basically everywhere right now.

errrr…you said it right here. AirBnB is created to do exactly that. the product isn’t good. the product is designed to create inflated housing prices. to make landlords even more rich and more able to exploit poor people. look at some tourist-y cities, where the original residents can no longer live in their houses, because it’s SO MUCH more profitable to rent per day on airbnb than to have normal rents. airbnb doesn’t provide anything. it doesn’t add anything positive. hotels are too expensive, maybe. but they have a service. they have some guarantees, room service, food, you’re guaranteed to have a room to sleep in by yourself. NONE of these are guaranteed with AirBnB. you can easily rent a room where you have to sleep with another person, clean up by yourself, pay stupid deposits,…

what even is ONE positive out of Airbnb?

not sure? I got one superlike to use for free a week. is that a regional thing? i have never paid for OkC in my life.

I’m holding the torch for OkCupid. I’ve met my SOs there. Many queer folk, leftists, likes work reasonably well and you even get free “superlikes” once a week. Messages are free, likes are free.
