I could never find 1 spot in school that was consistantly safe for me to retreat to for any period of time. Instead I had multiple spots all over where I’d retreat to for short time frames. If one wasn’t available, I could move on to the next one without getting too upset.

Friend, I’m sending you hugs, and if you’re open to it I’d strongly recommend building meditation skills. Therapy is a must if you want to understand why you feel this way, but meditation can help a lot in the meantime. I wish you the best, and hope you find somewhere safe to breathe today ❤️

Tell me more about how you have 0 clue about the origins of your country…

You mean delicious?

You’re all in here with horror and mature movies, but I’ll hit you with Watership Down for the win 😉

Can Mittens smell my brains? 🤣

Holy shit has John Oliver pranked yanks by popularising London Weekend Television? Or am I just the last person to make this connection? 😁

Dear Netflix, I’ve been a loyal customer since 2013. I’ve been perfectly happy with our arrangement. YOU are the one terminating our contract, not me. It seems you’d prefer to get rid of a happy, paying customer in the hopes you can somehow persuade them to embrace a higher cost or shittier experience (ads). That’s a bold move Cotton.

FYI this appears to be the US Staples only. In Canada (or at least Ontario), Goodwill accepts electronics recycling, now that Staples has shut that down.

Is it considered a technological advancement to remove something which exists now and actively makes life worse? I’d like to remove “health insurance” as a concept

But ser! Wizz theez Rocher, you arr spoiling us!

That last part is driving me crazy with frustration. If I identify a health hazard in my life, I take reasonable precautions against it, but when the whole system is inundated with that same issue, its hard to feel like you’re aligned with “society”. Like you said, it’s literally in everything we eat, drink and do. I’ll continue to support the plastics industry as little as possible, but it still has a stranglehold on industry. I’ve heard some promising reports from India about new developments in more sustainable packaging, but nothing’s hit the mainstream yet.

It feels inevitable that our descendents will eventually say “holy shit, you stored your FOOD in it?!”, after we discover we’ve been literally killing ourselves the whole time

Thanks so much for this delightful recommendation. I watched it tonight with my partner, and while I wouldn’t call it perfect, there’s a lot to love here. Chloe Grace Moretz was amazing!
