They would love to but we're all equally fucked in this economy tbh. We're all just trying to make more money so we can help each other out when someone needs it.

It's hugely dependent on a lot of factors but what I can say for sure that's helped for me personally:

  • having more locally sourced options like farmers markets and local butchers
  • not having to commute to work every day (the extra time and energy saved means I'm much more willing to cook something healthy)
  • a healthier work/life balance
  • making more money... Buying local isn't cheap.

I know veggies, even when they're not local, are cheaper than a lot of processed food but not when we're talking convenience and energy spent. Having the energy to prep and cook fresh produce, as well as a local market within walking distance have been the biggest factors for me.

I know I'm a pessimist but I feel like this is another one of those issues where we take the mask off and it's just that monster capitalism underneath.

I've only ever seen Quora as a joke, I didn't think people were actually getting good answers there.

I'm not a finance expert but I feel like in the long run it'd be cheaper to raise the death benefit or subsidize cremation services than to build dead body storage facilities all over the country.

*unless you also meant freedom of expression or freedom of bodily autonomy

It looks like those lungs they put on cigarette packs

If it has a zipper I'd consider it a sweater not a cardigan. Cardis have buttons.

(Realizing that a cardigan is a type of sweater, but I just mean it's a different kind of sweater)

I know they're essentially the same thing but when you say it that way I think of a hooded pullover, but hoodies are zippered for me.

When I was young, my dad would do cheesy magic tricks and let me walk on his feet. He'd let me and my sister dress him up and put clips in his hair. Growing up he helped with my homework and cultured my love for learning and writing. This all fostered really wonderful memories.

As an adult, the one thing that I would change about my relationship with him is that I'd wish he could better express his emotions. He's very emotionally shut-in and we recently went through the deaths of his brother and his mom and that man has cried once. I know he feels sad but he just acts like everything's okay and that's hard for me to watch and hard for me to know how to be there for him. My mom, on the other hand, is very emotionally open and I always know that she needs me to talk or to just be there with her. I guess more so than expressing his emotions, I just wish he'd tell me what he needs, but we come from a culture of machismo where he learned he's not supposed to need things, especially from women.

Anyways, just be there for your baby girl. Enjoy your time together, and she'll have plenty of great memories with her dad.

I mean, I don't think it's that he's not feeling things, my mom definitely heard him crying at night and stuff. He just does his best to hide it from us.

I know what you mean though about depression shutting you down, and I don't doubt there's plenty of trauma in his past so it's probably just a bit of everything.

I hope you're well <3

There's also serial killers that were/are very charismatic and social.

Hey i just wanna know are raccoons evil in some kind of way ?

A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in...

garbagebagel ,

Capybaras. Animals aren't evil but if you're trying to think of a chill animal that does no wrong by human standards, it's capybaras.

Bro can't even go to a restaurant without feeling awkward and you want them to go on a date?

garbagebagel ,

But it's not just men of colour who are insulted. Stop trying to make this about race.

My best friend is my tracker. If someone asks me my number, I have to check with her because I can never be sure.

Omg yogurt covered raisins too

Jolly ranchers sour misfits. I used to buy the big share packs but I can't keep them in my house anymore or else I eat them until I have canker sores.

That's one of my favourite books. If you take it in the sort of gory comedy horror genre (thinking evil dead), it's actually pretty great and has more depth to it than just horror stories.

Some of his later books get much worse, more gory, and far less interesting. He's really just going for shock value in a lot of them. I stopped reading after the pink sock in Pygmy (couldn't even finish the book).

garbagebagel ,

If you want to start with another less horrifying book by him (that isn't fight club), I'd highly recommend Rant or invisible monsters

The mental gymnastics of my brain when irl ACAB but I will stan Olivia Benson until the day I die. TV doesn't count.
