That was an excellent and well-thought out response, thank you for sharing it! It’s a thorny question for sure, and I appreciate your nuanced view

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.
The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”
Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.
I am a trans woman who was raised Catholic, so I feel similarly. I’ve had to do so much work in therapy just to get to a place where I can accept myself for who I am. A lot of those old beliefs were baked in deeper than I realized.
I carry a lot of resentment towards my (very devout) parents for raising me in the church, but I also recognize my experience is not emblematic of every person’s experience being raised in a religious household.
Gang stalking is not real. I recommend reaching out to a therapist as a first step. If there are other resources you need, they’ll be able to help you get them too.
Right now, nothing, really. There’s a lot of confusion and volatility at the moment, so I’m trying to keep a cool head rather than react blindly. I’m going to keep my head down at work, keep contributing to my 401k like normal, not make major unexpected purchases, and maybe re-up on some bulk staples. If shit keeps getting worse, I’ll adapt from there
Ah shit, is there a ban on politics questions? Sorry. I’m almost always on mobile, so I miss stuff in sidebars a lot
Fuck off, transphobe
Have you considered sending the journalist a message about this? I haven’t seen mention of it anywhere else
We live in the dumbest fucking timeline
I work in commercial and institutional building energy efficiency. I notice myself paying way more attention to the infrastructure that normally fades into the background. Stuff like “I wonder how big the transformer for this building is?” or “Ooh, that’s a hefty cooling tower, I wonder how much chilled water they use?”
Living in a Christian nationalist surveillance state sure is fun! 🙃
VSCode at work, VSCodium at home
Only if you’re okay with bland soups.
If I have the time and space, oil paint. It can be finicky, but you also have so much control over the medium
.world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)
Aside from that, people are generally pretty kind and won’t bash you for having left-of-center politics. If you’re a conservative, though, I’d expect downvotes. There just aren’t very many around on Lemmy. (And I personally think things are better that way.)
Getting pretty tired of shithead Nazis claiming they’re autistic. Autism doesn’t make you a Nazi
Continued to support Democrats after they fucked him in the 2016 primary, I’m guessing?
I don’t know, I still like him
I have a similar setup, and no. Once it’s configured, it’s easy peasy, but it would probably be a difficult and confusing process for a non-technical person to get through without help. Addy.io is a great service that a non-technical user shouldn’t have any issue using
