I am apparently too stupid to attach pictures but I make all my own bread, buns, cookies, and sometimes muffins. I also need to learn cinnamon buns and tortillas but I’m terrible at rolling things out so those I don’t make so much.

A lot of people don’t take these things in to account. Due to health issues I have slowly lost my teeth over the past 15 years. Due to poverty and systemic problems I couldn’t get them fixed. Now I’m in my 40s and left with barely enough teeth to chew - no molars, and my face is shifting because it doesn’t have the support structure anymore, which puts painful pressure on my remaining teeth all the time. Technically my health benefits say they pay for dentures but it’s been nothing but a run around, months and months of waiting for paperwork to be mailed and just utter nonsense while I’m here with a handful of teeth and I’m scared to talk to people or make friends because as soon as people see my teeth the judge me and leave.

For science, yes. But I also do not think we as a species deserve to get past our own moon. All we do is rape and pollute. We couldn’t even take care of the planet we were given, we shouldn’t be allowed to wreck more.

A cat in a wealthy, loving home. I’m not social enough to be a dog, and the way my cats laze about like they don’t have to worry about rent really induces a special kind of envy. I don’t care if I’m stupid or ugly or even a little deformed as long as it’s not painful. I just want to be a lazy kitty who gets random cuddles but is never expected to engage. And then when I do engage everyone swoons.

What a life.

I’m not sure if it worked or not but I read that storing them in a paper bag will help them ripen a bit faster, but not “I need it for this supper recipe tonight” fast. I figure if it didn’t work it was a pretty harmless hack and I still had avocado, I just waited until it was ready to do the recipe I wanted.

Boo.

I was so glad when that one got left behind.

Drivers who don’t stop for pedestrians - especially the ones who pretend to not see you as if it means they don’t have to stop at the stop sign.

And people who don’t clean up after their dogs. It’s worse in the winter time when it’s already difficult enough to navigate the city.

What is QBitTorrent, and how is it different from BitTorrent? Please explain like I’m a boomer.

That’s why I’m a communist, but most people are afraid of that term. I would settle for really good socialism in my lifetime though.

I hate being stuck as a wage slave creating wealth for the people standing on my shoulders, but I like to work and I like my job, it’s a strange place to exist.

I don’t want to work in order to survive but I want to be productive and keep my mind and body sharp while also contributing to the community. I like my job and while it seems mundane, it keeps me busy, gives me routine, gives my brain problems to solve, and is sometimes the most socializing I get. I just hate that I have to be afraid to lose my job or end up hungry or homeless because of it.

Clearly you do not understand: 1) how addictions work, 2) how mental illnesses that aren’t addiction work, or 3) that almost no one chooses to be homeless but people do fuck up.

There is no excuse to dehumanize anyone and if you’ve got yourself convinced that these people somehow got themselves where they are then you’ve fallen for the capitalist propaganda cause guess what? People who are happy, stable, and well provided for do not generally start doing drugs and people with good mental health support do not typically just stop taking their meds, but people who are comfortable with the status quo will make any excuse to make sure they get to keep what they have while ignoring that everyone has a right to that same comfort but some people need extra help getting there.

This perfectly encapsulates my comment, thank you.

If this is happening at work then you need to bring it up to his boss or someone above him, preferably a woman who won’t make excuses for him. Outside of work there’s not a lot you can do except let him know that it’s a huge red flag when older men want women without life experience.

Seriously though, the amount of money I saved by not owning a car gets me a pretty nice place in a city with transit, it’s not great transit but I can’t afford a larger city like Vancouver. Unfortunately where I live is also notoriously hostile towards pedestrians and cyclists.

The person probably wouldn’t have been homeless if not for capitalism. I also make a habit of not believing third hand stories off the internet.

Maybe disenfranchised people who are forced to live in the street have something to be angry about in a system that trains the wage slaves to dehumanize the people who don’t fit in the same box so that we have something to fear if we stop contributing to the machine.

“Don’t be like him, Little Timmy. You need to go to school and be a good little cog in the machine until you get ill or make a mistake and then it will abandon you and villify you for not being a perfect cog for the billionaires to use up like an infinite resource.”

Traffic and car-centrism exist because of capitalism. Fuck the man, take the bus.

Better than a toilet seat.
