- Comment on Are dating apps a fraud since the beginning? 5 days ago:
I met my last long term partner on a dating app, but these days it’s not a route I’d want to take. I met someone on discord more recently in a really wonderful community that allowed me to get to know him and make other friends with none of the same pressure
- Comment on US Department of Labor to cease and desist all investigative and enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246 5 days ago:
Not all people have the same opportunity. To say all people are the same is to deny systemic reality. Lemme know when everyone has similar wealth or power to Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.

Depends on whom you’re asking, but lots of christians consider it a sin outside of marriage. Super healthy message to give young kids /s

On some models yeah. I’ve had cars that didn’t
- Comment on Too dumb to understand where the gas tank opening is 4 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure I have some deficiencies, but I’m lucky I got to learn pretty young on a farm. I’m torn between wanting to advocate kids have access to like go kart tracks at school vs funding more public transit and walkable communities, as someone else said. Both would be dope tho

Welcome to life, where occasionally you deal with things you don’t want to. I do hope you never experience a similar situation, but if you do, I hope it is handled with compassion.
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 4 weeks ago:
There’s a small city in the Kansas City, Missouri metro (Raytown) that lobbied to keep it legal in restaurants and bars. I just looked it up, and apparently it’s fine to smoke weed as of 2023, too

If the follow up to you saying you’re done is them demanding to keep going, that is coercive and fucked up. I wouldn’t suggest lying in response unless you never plan to see them again, though, or if you feel safe and plan to address it later. It’s just as fucked up to keep up with the lie afterwards as it is to be coercive, imo. Both play coercive, indirect ways of refusing respect, and the tit-for-tat dynamic risks setting up a breeding grounds of resentment for at least the person maintaining a lie. It also denies the coercive person the opportunity for growth.

Lmfao I had to start using the covers for litter boxes since one of mine does this. I feel bad, like I know it’s not great for them to feel confined but…I am not letting that continue

- Comment on Why did Joker 2 lose so much money? And how on earth did it cost so much in the first place? 3 months ago:
I thought that was just me being ADHD lol. I watched from home and paused a few times to do other stuff. I didn’t think it was great, but not the worst. I also went in looking forward to the musical numbers that somehow people didn’t know about. Overall maybe 6.5/10? (This is probably the first time I’ve graded a film tbh)

Well now I want to know why though
- Comment on Lingering damage 4 months ago:
Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.
- Comment on Lingering damage 4 months ago:
Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up

You can understand the reason!

Or. They. Sound like. Words combined. Sometimes in German. It is awesome and creative. As a new stoner, I was obsessed from the get go. Now look at me walking it back. I ran out of space… Here’s the end

Well thank you:) I’ve been thinking of this video through the exchanges: “if the truth is on your side, why lie?” youtu.be/CRtSZXS6wzQ?feature=shared
- Comment on President on President Violence 4 months ago:
I would appreciate if sources were provided rather than sending me on a wild goose chase or being told essentially “trust me bro”
Do you not also think there’s an issue when we start saying “you can find a couple”? If even one doesn’t have a source but it’s being pushed as fact, I will start thinking the claim maker unreliable.
I really mean no offense, I’ve been trying to search and can’t find anything. I’ve asked chatgpt, Google, YouTube. I am trying to give benefit of the doubt.

That’s cool. I’ll just assume they’re satirical jabs. I certainly don’t know shit about him lol

I tried searching for these quotes cuz I’m dumb and was close to sharing them with friends thinking it was real
Unless you have sources, in case anyone else is curious afaik these aren’t real quotes. Bout got me though, I was like holy shit lol

Hm? I’m sure people are trying, and not to say AI won’t be incredibly useful, too. I just think there’s quite a few avenues to go down with it.
- Comment on PhD Grads 4 months ago:
This is why I’m comfortable looking into soft sciences like social work or mental health. Ain’t gon replace therapists with AI anytime soon.
- Comment on Watching ml and world argue in every thread be like. 4 months ago:
It depends for me. The labels aren’t really useful if I don’t know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they’re communist, anarchist, liberal isn’t enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I’m like, cool, we’ll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I’m opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.
