@vrexec I think lots of people just enjoy nice things - nice apartment, dinners, clothes; all of that is expensive. Plenty of people are happy to travel like a backpacker and take in the world, but a lot of people have no interest in roughing it and are simply not interested in travel

I ask this question from time to time and it’s not one of those judgmental “why are you not having kids” posts. I could not care less if someone decides to have kids or not, or their reasons. What I genuinely don’t understand is… if you’ve decided not to have children… why are you working a traditional career? Why are you interacting with a computer all day? Why do you care at all about how much money you make? It literally makes no sense. There are only a few tiny exceptions… like you’re a caregiver for a family member or you have significant health issues. Go join the Peace Corps or the military. Go volunteer somewhere in the world. Become an EMT or a paramedic or a firefighter or a police officer. Go find a shack in the woods somewhere and write fiction for five straight years and don’t talk to anyone. Literally walk across the country. Bike around the world. Move to Greece and work on a boat ferrying tourists around the islands. Go to Switzerland and become a mountain guide. Dedicate yourself to fitness and adventure. Literally anything. You have this incredible gift of a life with no dependents. Why are you still career coded and money coded? One of the great mysteries of our time.

@designmom Honestly, very easily! I would love to have a partner who makes my life easier but so far its only been a burden financially, emotionally and day to day. I've done my best on my own or with platonic flatmates.

He asked this sincerely. 😂😂😂

I guess not everyone is into aesthetics but it's camp. It's certainly not to everyone's taste, but I don't think anyone can say drag is rooted in a hatred for women. Not even close!

@LukeBarnett The land before time! Such a fav

Four movies that encapsulate what I would do if someone paid me to write and direct a family friendly movie.

@clareanneath Tbh I make a lot of soups and serve over rice. Feels more hearty then.

Why do husbands refuse to view soup as a meal?

I think people would be wise to recognize that this is a product of the Madonna/whore complex and that while some people live absolutes, many, many people live in a grey area in between.

@gaialect So crazy but my ex lied about being sexually assaulted as a child and I never really knew what for. Like, why lie about that?

imagine dating someone for some months to a year and one day they just laugh in your face and said they lied about all the trauma they said they went through. they made it up to activate your nurturing instincts and to facilitate bonding but it wasn't real. yo imagine.

the answers round here somewhere

@brofromanother the house that jack built

What are some examples of truly evil movies? Not necessarily in terms of depicting it, or thematizing it (or ideology/politics) but that truly feel like they’re channeling something awful into the world?(This was prompted by preparing a lecture on SPOORLOS).

yeah i work remote

SAG LA Vice President Michelle Hurd explains that “you know those actors when you go ‘oh there’s that guy from that show’, you don’t necessarily know their names… those actors are working class actors who are literally working paycheck to paycheck.”

@sakura_112211 @CNN high water levels, powerful currents. The report says the children were not wearing life jackets so unfortunately in water like that it's easy to get swept away.

An 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother died after they were swept away by a central California river they were traveling in with their mother during what authorities call extraordinarily dangerous conditions. cnn.it/3MQCh47
