You’re kinda making the point for them

I lived in a 3 bedroom house with 3 other people. No room was available and not many would have been big enough anyway. I need at least 2m squared

Yeah it’s great. I’ve always already seen it and it’s always an action movie so I don’t need to pay attention all the time. Latest watch was Aliens, so good!

Sometimes it’s obvious misogyny and sometimes it isn’t but this has the hallmarks.

You need the room for the equipment. I had to go to gyms when my rental was too small.

I work out at home and watch movies that usually have some fit people in them, which removes the need for real humans in the room.

She posted with a “we” statement about her own company. If someone did that, you might think about who they are but this guy completely assumed she was a know nothing nobody.

He replied to her post about how signal won’t use AI and she said “we”. He 100% assumed a woman was a nobody so he paid no attention. This is all on him.

I hear ya. I’m participating in a hiring panel and finding it really tough to reject candidates, especially when they’re nice. I just feel so much for them.

Hard not to start building a tough shell, take care of yourself

Add to this that your preference may change as your life does. Lifestage makes a big difference.

Meal planning is number 1.

Being strict with what you buy then so you don’t buy something you have no plan for.

Learn a couple of meals that you can throw anything into so you can use up veg that are just about to go off. Eg ratatouille, stew, curry, etc.

Buy a recipe book with easy one pot meals for inspiration. I find the Internet just has too much and you need to know what you’re doing, plus there’s just too much distraction. Sitting with a recipe book and a pen and paper to plan is way more relaxing, IME.

Give it time, we’ll get our fire.

I think it’s just wearing clothes not a uniform though and not stating you’re an agent, so I don’t think it’s impersonation.

However I think it’s dangerous to do this. We’re better off when we can identify the enemy.

I’ve gone to protests and stayed near the edge/outskirts so I can feel the vibe and keep an eye out to leave if it feels bad at all. You could do that if you wanted to try it out. I think massive popular protests are usually fine, it’s the smaller ones that are more risky IMO.

All of my community groups are on there, including the school parents one. My choice is to not participate in the community or have Whatsapp… Or worse, Facebook.

Why do you think it is? Is it a lack of empathy? I feel guilty if I hurt someone because of how hurt they are, which is empathy.

I love this so much, is it that you have a lot of empathy?

Ackshually… Tooth isn’t bone

I read somewhere ages ago that you should become the person you want to be with the most, which I think is great advice. And less about searching for someone else who is that. Sounds like this is what you did.

I’m glad you’re still here.
