But there’s no guarantee that if the time came where someone was in need, they would actually act and give up things on hand.

I grew up thinking that friends and loved ones took care of each other when in need. I even dropped big things to help those I loved. My mom neglected her health until she needed an emergency surgery and once I found out I dropped a final exam in uni to make sure she got there and took her meds.

When I had a serious emergency though, I was completely alone. Both parents, all family and friends. You have friends until they decide you don’t offer them enough. It’s too much energy expended to maintain dynamics like that with multiple people. You end up feeling worthless and that takes a big toll on your health.

I went abroad where a lot of Americans were. I ended up fucking one and his wife. That wasn’t important to the rest of the story but I really feel proud of myself for that and can’t brag anywhere else.

Anyways, from the Americans I met, the overall majority of them were not very aware of what goes on in the news. The common sentiment was that they tuned out from all the news after November and still have to show up to their jobs so to them, nothing is really changing. Was eye opening.

Absolutely. I’m not disabled but I can say with confidence there are genuinely zero good people on this planet. Me included. People are truly only in it for themselves and will cast aside and trample anyone who gets in their way.

Learned that first from my parents. Even if they’re related to you, they will throw you under the bus at their earliest convenience.

The previous owners of my house did this and I’m so thankful. Wild strawberries where I live slowly replace the grass and never grows very tall so this means I don’t have to mow nearly as often.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

A lot of people don’t think boycotts make a difference. And they don’t unless a lot of people/dollars are involved.

Sounds like a really apathetic society if not even the easiest and lowest effort form of protest is deemed “not worth it”. Considering the most recent protests by Serbians, the Dutch, and the French; Americans are absolute cowards.

Just really proves that the majority of Americans approve of Trump and his actions. Only 20% see what’s going on as an issue.

Would you classify mint gum as “spicy”?

Ketchup.

Edit: step aside, pineapple on pizza. There’s a new topping people get uppity about now!

So many people who are mentally and cognitively bankrupt own houses. They never do any maintenance on them, or if they do, they never do it right. And yet, their houses aren’t (always) falling apart.

Houses are more sturdy than our anxieties convince us. Fix things little by little as they come, prioritize what comes first. Your house won’t fall apart or blow up. This is what I tell my wife when she gets nervous about something creaking.
