The wreaths summon her. No additional effort required.

I'm glad that things worked well for you and that you've been able to carve out a good life!

Perhaps it would be worth considering that there are reasons a person might try to do things the same way as you and still fail to achieve the same level of comfort and success.

Not everyone has adults in their life poised to guide them well.

A major medical event in America can put someone into a financial hole that is incredibly difficult to escape.

Just by virtue of the year you enter the workforce, you can suffer long-lasting effects that ripple forward through your whole life.

You might be born stuck with a lousy local school system for the first 12 years of your education. Even excelling here, let's say you get a full-ride scholarship to an ivy league university, what if you can't leave home because your disabled parents need you?

There are so many things that can contribute to people falling behind, or never making any headway to begin with. Personally, I've been pretty lucky and I'm faring okay among my peers. I own a house and a car, I don't have to check my bank account before I buy groceries or gas to see how much I can afford. But the system is filled with pitfalls and relies so much on pure luck for any given individual. The idea espoused by older generations that young people get more conservative as they get older basically relies on an "I got mine" attitude, which is one I personally cannot abide by.

Absolutely. Bury it next to a stream on a new moon, dig it back up on the full moon, then take it to a spa day with you for a full massage and sauna.

Were you born a greedy little pigboy? Or did you have to learn how to be?

Mayo is one of the few things I have always bought name-brand. It's just not worth it to get the cheap stuff.

Thanks, thinking about this comment is my new diet plan (I'll be too busy retching to eat).

Yo, I have my misgivings about major corporations like Google and all... But Google Lens is a pretty great tool.

Guys what the fuck. Locking this. Take a breather.

Edit: problem user removed. Carry on.

"He ain't shit" is... Promoting matriarchy? Like, taking one dude down a notch is hateful and subjugating to all men? Nah. Some men ain't shit, which is something you've surely discovered yourself as a gay man. Some women also ain't shit.

You seem like your goal is simply to stir up trouble. I hope you find a community that appreciates that.

Yes! Gatekeeping is dumb and terrible.

Here is a nice write-up with one perspective on the matter :)

Okay but I'm still giggling about "ourgasm" like a week and a half later 😂

How popular would it likely be? How popular would you want it to be? How inflammatory or controversial would relevant subject matter be?

For most new communities, traffic will be low and manageable, and you can play it by ear. Start it and see what happens. Post it in the New Communities sub if you want to get some eyes on it, or just let it grow organically.

Now who will pull things out of the æther for him??

He will never be able to find his keys again.

Absolutely! Definitely no intention to keep up this pace. Just wanted to have some things already here when people stumble in.

Hey there! Lemmy cooperates better and users engage more if you actually upload the image instead of posting a link. Just a thought, feel free to edit if you like!

Wee kan du bothe!
