> you can be very attractive and therefore have a wide range of people interested in you but not have the social skills/psychological acuity to translate initial interest into a successful relationship. I feel that. It took me proba

I had the (mis)fortune to not be able to afford residence so I lived off campus and made most of my friends/social circle through the shitty fast food job I worked at. Think I went to 1-2 dorm parties, and I felt the otherness from the

We are blessed in Ontario to have the first and second longest freshwater beaches in the world. On Lake Huron’s Georgian Bay and Lake Huron proper respectively. Nothing recharges your batteries like a day in the sun, by the great un-briny.

I tried for the sake of work, but a single crunch completely scrapped that and I haven’t had the mental energy to start again.

> Purchasing decisions are made based on the monthly payment. Yep, this made the decision for me. Do I pay 30% more rent to move into a basement? Or 50% more mortgage for a full, freehold house outside of the city? I like living in this

I’d argue that a startup which just got a major cash infusion is the best to ride out an imminent recession.

I don’t particularly enjoy cleaning my house but I love the aftermath. Same with bumping versions on dependencies. If I didn’t have to do it I’d love to just get the new features in a non-breaking way. But I can’t, so I do, and it’s a chore

If you’ve read Nietzsche or other philology/mythology he just comes off as a gas station ‘10 tips to EXCEL in your life’ and it’s cringe to see people take him seriously at face value. Not doubting he is a smart man: he started a self

As a 92 baby I feel like a cusper. Cynical, jaded and ironic like Gen Y and X but I’ve grown up on/in the internet and the accelerated mass culture in which we live. Honestly in high school I felt like an oddball but I think I’d be nor

I’d just reply with ‘sneed’ but this isn’t Reddit. My more thought out counter would be that every generation since the boomers had this said about them to my knowledge. Even before the concept of ‘western civilization’ existed, you probabl

If there is anyone I wouldn’t feel bad stealing from, the US entertainment industry would not be far behind. Remember that whole Cuties debacle where Netflix sexed up a French coming-of-age about children ?

In my city in Canada I noticed a lot of kids playing outside last summer. However, they were all East African or Arabs: I assume refugees from Eritrea and Syria. They were doing the stuff I did (playing with sticks, climbing the sand piles,

Honour in this case is being imposed by the state, but Slavic cultures and national pride are 100% driving this too. Some nations just won’t tolerate their men fleeing a crisis leaving women and kids behind, state or no state. Western Anglo

Not that I understand Russian all that well, but I don’t see ‘Rossiya’ or any of its declensions in that passage, therefore I don’t think that passage refers to Russia specifically, whatever it’s getting at.

I think a situation like this can be similar to the kind/nice distinction. Your hot coworker may never get the respect (or have the chance to earn it) because people only seek them out for their surface level traits and work-irrelevant

I’ve been getting into the hyperpop genre because it’s an interesting (sometimes) avant-garde take on the homogeneity of modern culture. If you don’t like the aesthetic of late 90s-early 00s bubblegum europop you probably won’t enjoy it, bu

The train feels more civilized. You can afford to have a bit more space to sit, wider aisles to walk and can fit a much nicer kitchen. Bigger tables too so you can spread out your work/shopping/food. If you haven’t tried train foo

IMO making meditation a productive activity with (shudder) metrics is far more divorced from tradition. Again, isn’t aimlessness the point of Buddhism? Taming and mastering the ‘I’ and it’s worldly attachments like aiming for things?
