In my experience, attractive people are used to get what they want because society subconsciously favors them. I'm not generalising as there are plenty of attractive people that are good human beings. But I think attractive people tend to be narcissistic than their non attractive counterparts.

Where to get my next meal, is something I don't always have control over. Unfortunately it's also not something I can stop worrying about.

Edit: made it clear that my situation is much better now, but it wasn't always.

Oh yeah? I'm jealous you never had to worry about what job to do in the economy that will feed me. I had few months where I was going door to door, hoping someone wants their lawn mowed or windows washed so I can eat that night. And I'd say I'm privileged ones because I knew this kind man who was willing to lend me his tools to mow and to clean windows. I'm lucky because I got a scholarship for tuition for university and I don't have to worry about what to eat anymore.

But for the few months I relied only on window washing and lawn moving, I remember I at least had 4-5 days where despite going through 100s of houses, no one needing the services. But Please tell me how absolute of a control I had about what I eat with 0 earnings in that day and my networth being essentially 0. I guess absolute control I had was starve.

I like the interface, and have been a user of the reddit version for years...

It's cool to hate it, for a lot of people who moved to fediverse early, it's a matter of FOSS software and an ideology. Everyone has a flexing point in their ideology, early adopters of fediverse can't be flexible at closed source products. I personally draw my flexing boundary at large capitalist companies. Sync is developed by one guy and tbh with a way pretty UI than any of the FOSS software has (my personal opinion) so I like it. And I use it. But I understand the ideological point of FOSS everything, but I don't understand people who want FOSS everything but they contribute nothing.

I think they explained it, the reason they could afford it was because Monica's grandmother lived there, and they've been paying 1950s rent because of rent control or something. Something similar for phoebe as well. Anyway show never explains how joey/chandler/Ross can afford those big houses.

Anon was bullied

Reply in thread

I agree with you, I am fairly large and I changed schools frequently. Every new school id be bullied for first few weeks and it would only stop when bullies realise I can beat them more than they can beat me, and that i wouldn't shy away from confrontation. But liking Anime was like top two reasons

The most memorable is I was new to school and 12. I had a Keychain attached to my bag of bato from GiTS, not even motoko, at first this guy thought he was GI Joe and it was fine, then he asked more about the figure and upon learning it's anime, he stole it.. And about 2 days later decided with two of his friends, I had to be taught anime bad by shoving it down my throat. Two friends held my hand and the psycho was getting me to open my mouth to shove it in, when I broke free from one of the friend and punched him so hard it broke his nose, then kicked one other guy in nuts. I fucking ran to staff room to have some adult around. Well I almost got kicked out of school. But some 16-17 year old bystander girl went out of her way to explain everything. And I only got suspended for a week. Stories like this were common everytime I change schools, bullies test me, they realise I am willing to fight before going down and thankfully being large, I could do some serious damage. They'd give up bullying after a few months. And then a year or two later, new school. Rinse and repeat.

While my cousin's neighbor is fighting a law suit because, a woman (cousin's neighbor) used defibrillator on another woman(when her heart stopped) , and other woman is now suing the neighbor for some minor marks from defibrillator. Mostly neighbor will win the case, but she has to appear in court now. Makes me feel so angry and i don't even know the neighbor lady.

Has a stranger's reply to you on social media ever changed your strongly-held belief(s)?

I was very big on masculinity, not like man better than woman stuff, but like man don't wear pink, men don't carry purse on shoulders, men don't wear makeup etc etc.

And someone told me," Is your masculinity so weak that wearing pink will make you feminine."

That implied I'd be so close to feminity that wearing pink will turn me over into feminine. And I was pretty comfortable with my masculinity, so only conclusion was these notions are toxic and I should do what I like and what is comfortable, I'm not gonna be less of a man for wearing pink.
