My buddy went hard when he first went vegan, pushing me to see videos of animal abuse so i would ‘understand’. That was annoying, but it was new to him so i didn’t make it an issue. His making the change was enough to start me on the road myself, though i don’t think he’d understood that (cuz i’d never tell him lol)
Lol too true mane, effin on point. Op’s gonna find out ‘bad’ vegans are generally ‘over carnist’s shit’ vegans in a minute
🎶I don’t care i don’t vote blue Tuesday’s race was just for fools Neither party cares bout you It’s Friday, I’m in-game🎶
i used to as part of my weekend job working in an old hospital have to walk the breadth of it and at some point decided that i would try to use every single bathroom in the place. Over the course of months i found many cool nooks and quiet bathrooms but i never finished the mission because i found the PERFECT bathroom.
in the middle of an access hallway, up some narrow stairs, was a dead-end office. The only entrance was this one stairwell. Sun-facing windows looked out over the roof of the building and west, shining in on a bank of training computers. smell of warm dust and absolute quiet.
someone knew of it, cuz there was always toilet paper, but in my many trips to that special place i never saw a soul. Something about that place i can’t describe to you, the vibe, the feel. it was perfect. I abandoned my efforts to find better and instead would walk past other open bathrooms just to use that one again.
I still think about that room sometimes. Never been paid to poo in a better one.
My experience says it probably doesn’t matter however you choose to tell them but do tell them, as soon as you can. They’ll want input on your decisions you know. They’ll probably want you to fight this. They’ll probably ask a lot of you. They’ll demand you “waste away enduring treatment” But do tell them anyway, for them.
That’s what this is about, yeah? Just bite the bullet and do it, today. Get it out there. Then listen to them when they speak. Maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll decide to fight. Maybe you will not. But don’t you keep it a secret, that’s against the rules. You made a deal with your family, don’t break it because you’re afraid of losing a fight you could win.
I dunno if it’s always the case but it can have long lasting effects on them if you don’t give them their chance to say goodbye. My wife (40) still has trouble with the shock and loss from 8 years old when her gramma kept her cancer from her family until the very end.
So ill shut up now, feel weird already talking so confidently bout something so personal to someone…So log off, buck up, and tell them. You know they’re gonna bug the shit out of you, but who knows, maybe they’ll convince you. Maybe during this trouble you all will find a deeper love together than you knew you could feel.
Obviously some Internet asswipe like me can’t be trusted with something so important. Don’t be afraid of their love, go tell em, right now. <3
Aaaaah hahahahaha i wish i could see your face while you were typing out this “lesson” omg. Sheeeeheehee i can’t, i can’t! were you proud of yourself when you hit reply, like “aw yeah gottem”?
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.
When you’re in the right frame of mind (where you aren’t looking to complete yourself with someone else) someone will find you or you will find someone where the “calculations” about proper amounts of time and money spent with them go out the window and the “work” that must be done does not feel like such.
At least that’s what happened to me. When it feels natural you can tell the difference from the other ones… then you’re on the right track to happiness
Or - OR, right, everyone can turn off location and WiFi on their phones.
Right now. But maybe not forever and so regulation to make sure that we canor even better, regs against this tracking. Because it shouldn’t be necessary.
It’s not mentioned because only things rich people care about are mentioned on our rich people news programs
If they don’t list their pronouns and i can’t tell by their speech i just go neutral. Checking profiles for gender is definitely not considered necessary in the circles i run in. If poster doesn’t make it clear and doesn’t have pronouns listed honest mistakes will be made and forgiven
Speaking of PB me and wifey can’t get away with saying “it’s possible” without the other replying “pig”
I miss this meme too. Maybe it’s time for a throwback week
Dang, you’re right! It’s like noticing the arrow in fedex
“Trans people aren’t super-sayajins so existing assault laws are probably fine”

My favorite thing to do when i see someone hating on hexbear or .ml is check out the modlog to find why they’re so angry and it’s almost always funny
I was 2 r 3 months into my sanity break from Reddit when my friends (who knew i was a redditor) started sending me msgs like “lol what are you gonna do now?”
Viewed the API drama from afar, then read some article mentioning lemmy. Tried a few instances but a lot had limits on new accts. Beehaw told me to pound sand. sh.itjust.works was the one that had the fewest roadblocks to join. Now i got a few accts spread out over grad, bear, and here.
People seem to pine for reddit (or at least more content/users) but i like the small community. You can actually be heard here, and so too can you hear speech that isn’t the same fucking meme ad-nauseam
