rule :(

The problem is it's probably a good idea to get people in deprivation to eat healthier. It's also a reasonable claim that antidepressants are over prescribed.

However, if the alternative is unaffordable, the solution is just a punishment.

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

I think also we've become so dependent that they can just do whatever the fuck they want.

I've lived in a bunch of countries and FB messenger is the only way for me to keep in touch. FB can do whatever they want to me because I'm never going to persuade a bunch of people to all move to signal or something.

Reddit has communities that simply don't exist on any other platform.

They have the critical mass.

Most important thing you've learned in the past 5 years

The 80/20 rule... although it is more 90/10 for me.

For example, being full vegan is awfully hard (at the start), but eating vegan 90 percent of the time is actually super easy.

Biking instead of driving most of the time is much easier than telling yourself to cycle every day.

We often treat things as all or nothing... And sure, I'd love to be perfect at all the things I find important, but doing so puts certain things out of reach because it makes me frustrated and give up on good intentions.

I'm a trans man. I didn't realize how broken men are

It's definitely cultural as well. I'm European and never struggled to make guy friends. I moved to New Zealand which is very British, and I really struggle here. My guy friends are other immigrants from Europe or South America. However, 80 percent of my friends are female. I love them but at times I definitely do miss having more dudes to hang out with.

Kiwi blokes are super quiet and steer away from serious conversation. It's really hard here.
