I had a friend who was absolutely determined to never work for anyone else, and so he taught himself how to make wire-wrap jewellery to sell. It’s far from an easy thing to do, as he was incredibly motivated and spent most of his time working on it, but if you really do want to, there are ways that a person can support themselves through their own direct actions.
And yes, I second others that suggest you really should spend less time on social media.
Toootally not a cult.
Anyways, lets share tips on getting rid of our families!
Not at all. I just stuck to much simpler, and less enjoyable/healthy, meals most of the time.
During the lockdowns I learned to cook for myself, and now I eat better, cheaper.
No voter ID is super weird to me as a Canadian.
Translates Sumerian texts.
Wait, does that ever actually happen as anything but a joke?
Just because your culture may have a shit history for how they treated women doesn’t mean every other culture was the same.
Men have always had the freedom to choose what they want to be
You don’t understand anything about our history at all, do you? English surnames (Thatcher, Smith, Fletcher, etc…) are what they are because people literally had no other choice but to work the same profession for many generations.
This very post itself is about how men have had literally no choices at all for formal wear, which certainly wasn’t a poor man’s arena.
People constantly claim that women have been horribly objectified, while ignoring how men have always been treated by society, where they have no value what so ever other than as a wage slave.
Because despite what social media would have you believe, women have not actually been horribly oppressed everywhere for all of history, and have actually enjoyed a place of reverence in western culture for a very long time. Men have been willing to sacrifice everything, even their own lives, to ensure the women they loved had whatever could be provided.
Frankly I’m strongly suspicious that many of these narratives are being pushed by cultures where women are ACTUAL slaves, to try and hide the evidence that it’s even possible to live any other way. “Just look at the disaster which befalls any society where women are given freedom.”
When you’re sucking the air away it still generates a current over the dishes, but also carries the saturated moist air away so that new drier air replaces it, which becomes saturated and carries more moisture away. When you’re blowing the moving air impacts upon the dishes and breaks the flow so the moisture stays closer to the dishes.
Just guessing though.

Macross 7 sounds incredibly stupid if you try and summarize it, but it’s legitimately one of the best shows there is in my opinion.
Summary: Aliens attack a human colony fleet, and they fight back with a rock band flying into battle to sing at the aliens.
Back in grade 9 I had trouble showing my work in math because I did it all in my head. My teacher, not believing that was possible, challenged me one day after class to do a tough problem in my head, in front of her. Upon writing a number down, before I could double check myself, she started yelling at me for being a cheat and a fraud… because I “forgot the negative sign.” That was the day that I stopped caring entirely whether or not others gave me validation, because it’s really more about whether or not they like you rather than whether or not you’re actually right about anything. It’s a decision that perhaps made my life harder for a while, but has resulted in the development of talents which I am quite grateful for, and eventually a near perfect score when I re-did grade 12 math later on to get into STEM.
Seeking validation from others can just as easily steer you wrong, as they are anything but an impartial indication of whether or not you’re doing things right. If the person doesn’t like you, there’s nothing at all in the world which will be good enough for them, and if they do like you, they’ll gloss over and sugar coat everything to the point you can’t even tell if they’re being honest with you.
Nope, divining the inner workings of the minds of others is beyond me. I can only tell you about the world that I see.
As someone who has never really cared about validation, from being an outcast since I was a child, the way much of social media is designed in an attempt to seek validation drives me nutts. I just want to see interesting things that people want to share, and engage in discussions with types of people that I wouldn’t normally meet in real life.
I went into one of their “churches” once to ask what they were about, and they literally would not tell me anything unless I either bought a book or stayed there to watch a video along with them.
