The body is round…

Can you get a job with insurance?

Oh boy…

So, to be completely honest with you here man, I can’t give you that answer. I can tell you why I choose to keep going, but that’s like, incredibly specific to me & not necessarily a reason that is salient or transferrable to you. For me it’s because I’ve got 3 nieces & a nephew all under the age of 10, and my sister (they’re all hers) tells me that I am genuinely their favorite uncle, because I am the only one who actually talks to them about what’s going on with them with school, friends, and things they care about, and I’ll actually run around with them outside & so on when I’m able to visit. My sister is also a reason on her own, cause we both grew up broke as hell in a trailer park with a mom who got blackout drunk on a consistent basis, and a dad who had all of the opinions & affects of modern christo-fascist conservatism, but in the 90’s. So we’re kind of the only two people that really understand each other, and I can’t just leave her alone in the world.

So for me it’s the fact that I have responsibilities to other people that come before the fact that I don’t really enjoy being alive a lot of the time. Again, I can’t tell you what’s important to you to keep you here, but I will say that there are people who can help you find that answer, that is partly what going to a psychologist is about. If you’ve got close friends, who you know you can be open with you can also try to broach the subject with them in an understated way, but that’s very tricky & requires a lot of mutual trust I think between the two of you. You have to be cautious with it, is what I’m saying.

There is other advice I could give, but this is what I’m prepared to share openly on the site as of the moment.

Nah, don’t do that.

The thing is, you gotta learn to live with the struggle.

IDK, if this was the effect commenting was gonna have I probably shouldn’t have. I’m sorry for bringing you down tonight.

I shave most days out of the week, but I am probably spiritually a neckbeard, yeah.

I mean the answer here is that yeah, we live under Capitalism, so how much money you make absolutely matters to how good of a shot you have in the dating pool; particularly as a man.

Some people will tell you that these things don’t matter, because of some weird anecdote where they make up a dude who lives out of a dumpster but gets numbers all the time, but that’s not reality, and that’s absolutely not the norm.

Body image issues always led me to conceptualize myself as an entity inhabiting a body, the body being incidental.

I also felt this way until I started getting myself involved with physical exercise, and now I kinda feel more grounded in myself.

That might help you.

I just want to float through existence as a pure essence, interacting with other pure essences.

That’s basically what Human Instrumentality was, and the point about why that was bad was that you may not actually like who you “really are”, or who other people are, and they still may not actually like you.

We all will one day.

Both the head & body are individually quite round. However you have yet to complete 100% roundness, because the two are still distinguishable between eachother.

Never Stop Posting.

The groups I know which organize women workers are also the groups arguing for better language. The liberal groups I know who argue against inclusive language are the groups which often are not in solidarity with women workers when there are strikes or conflicts between bosses and workers.

In light of that info, I retract my previous argument.

Was using female as a noun considered normal at some point? I genuinely do not know.

I think they used to do that in Coronet educational videos in like the 30’s-50’s. I’m not sure that it’s ever been common outside that though.

Edit: That’s these dudes btw.

If someone makes the claim that last week France genocided the English, and I respond “No that’s fucking stupid and did not happen.” I don’t magically become a genocide denialist as a result of making that statement.

Ah, but did you consider William the Conqueror?

:smuglord:

No, but I don’t wash full plates. Only after the food has been eaten, do I wash it.

My apologies, I’ve been washing dishes.

My position is that we should federate with all currently extant Lemmy instances & fight everybody all at once.

That’s a bit of a non-sequitur in this instance don’t you think? We’re not talking about what the name of a place is, but rather how the two countries’ citizenry feel about their respective governments.

No. I had an account when the instance was first set up, but I got banned for getting into an argument with a power-user. I wouldn’t say it’s always been like this, but this is definitely what it’s like normally.

We mutated out of a band of subreddit refugees from r/ChapoTrapHouse, but I feel like the current community doesn’t fully live up to what it used to be.

As a r/CTH grognard, I personally would want to be able to get the old sub culture back, but I suppose that time erodes all things & that you can’t really turn its hands backwards
