A failure? What’s that even mean? Do we measure our success by how useful a specific capitalist organization finds us at any given moment? You aren’t a failure. You are just another person trying to make ends meet and getting screwed over by the system. Doing the best you can like anyone else.

Here’s a checklist:

Can you pay your bills for the next 6 months? If no, figure out how to fix that ASAP.

Do you know what you want to do next? If no, start pondering on it.

Have you taken advantage of any support that is out there for you? Unemployment for example. If no, do it.

If all of those are handled then you are good to take a breath and just figure your shit out. Maybe try to do something you didn’t have the time to before. Spend more time with family. Something like that. Whatever it is that would make you happy right now.

fr like when it comes to clothes I see anything above like 20 USD per outfit as absolute highway robbery.

i mean i do plenty of things that are wastes of time and moeny. What’s wrong with that? We’re hairless apes who like to do silly stuff.

Is it? Lot of stuff is a waste of time and money if you don’t care for it. It doesn’t mean you have a strong opinion about it. Like it could just mean you’d never spend your own time and money on it, but other people can if they want to. Since every recreational thing is a waste of time and money to someone who doesn’t like it.

I’m the same. I have to be careful how I phrase things because it can sound transphobic if like someone asks you what you are and you just say “Well I have x genitals so just go with that I guess?” because you just don’t care. Like call me whatever you want. want me to wear a certain type of clothing because of some social convention? Sure idc. I’ll wear a dress, or a suit. Don’t care. I just don’t want to pay for them. I 100% support anyone doing anything they want with their gender. Let me know what you want to be called, and remind me if I slip up because I don’t even remember peoples names most of the time, but I’ll say what you want me to say. But for me personally? You can call me anything you want. He, Her, They, It, Dumbass, Tankie, .ml, shut the fuck up, etc It don’t bother me one bit.

I don’t see what this has to do with trans people? As if people of the same sex at birth can’t end up with wildly different weights as well? Like a 200lbs woman beating the shit out of a 100lbs woman wouldn’t be allowed in any sport. So why would it suddenly be allowed if the 200lbs woman is trans? Also, “unfair” gets me here. Sports aren’t fucking fair! That’s the entire point. It’s a physical competition where some people have an inherent advantage due to genetics. Trans people existing doesn’t change that, and doesn’t make it any less fair. This just reeks of you seeing all these “no men in womens sports” arguments and not taking the time to actually examine if those arguments are valid or not.

well I went to the dentist as a kid maybe 3 or 4 times total. So no surprise I didn’t see them.

Idk if this is TV tho. I think consildiation did a lot of this work. Like radio shows are too regionally huge now. Imagine you had a radio station that both played decent music and it was based in your specific neighborhood/town. It kept you up to date on cool stuff going on there. That would actually be useful to tune in to from time to time. But now its just “that city within 50 miles of me”. Small town radio died.

Literally never seen these ever in my life

It’s kinda like a hummingbird. Those shits flapped at 500bpm. Talk about terrifying huh?

I prefer it personally. I’m not a fan of games where combat is decided by reaction times and is high energy. I prefer to use proper preparation and strategy to win fights. And turn based is best for that. I’m also not a fan of “dice roll” style game mechanics for the same reason. Like Fallout New Vegas’s speech system > Fallout 3’s speech system. Because its based on a set skillcheck instead of a dice roll adjusted by your skill.

I’m partial to Quod Libet myself.

I actually didn’t know that that’s interesting. Definitely something I’d mention to your daughter when you guys chat. Also, if he’s comfortable with it, I’d reccomend arranging an in person meeting with her and Kevin. It could help her to actually look into the eyes of the person whose life you’re going to save. Even if they’ve met plenty of times before. Just all 3 of you sit down and chat. Not about the surgery but just in general.

I think you need to realize her concerns are entirely valid. Everything could go great and you could both have 1 working kidney then live long lives after. You could die on the table. You could give him your kidney and then 10 years from now your remaining one has an issue and then your on dialysis. etc. Your daughter is not wrong to be scared/concerned. You are not wrong to want to help your friend. Both of you have valid feelings about this. You just need to talk about them. In person preferably. Not over an email. Explain to her why doing this is so important to you. Make plans for what happens if the worst outcome happens. You need to seriously ask yourself: “Will my family be okay if I die on the table?” before you go do it. Because if the answer is no and you haven’t considered that yet it’s something you need to think about.

I hope everything goes well and you help your friend and both of you are fine. But I also hope you go into this understanding your daughters concerns, and being fully aware of all the risks.

acid free archival paper. archival ink. Even non archival books can last quite awhile I personally own a book that is over 120 years old. Don’t sleep on books.

There’s nothing unhealthy about eating a donut. It would only be unhealthy if you ate a lot of them, and consistently.

So… it depends. If it’s a normal laptop I’m not SUPER interested in it but don’t hate it. I do use the track pad a lot so if that was messing up I could use the touch screen. But normally I won’t use it in laptop mode. The depends is a 2 in 1. If I can flip it over and use it as a tablet I will do that. How nice it is depends on software tho in that case. A nice gesture based experience like Gnome would be great. But I doubt I’d enjoy doing that on windows. I haven’t used windows in years but I imagine a touchscreen on it would be not very intuitive.

So the Framework Pro 13 annoys me since it can’t flip all the way around. I actually am considering making a cyberdeck with an existing framework 13 mainboard I have and a framework pro screen and making it into a tablet form factor but nice and thick with plenty of ports and maybe a CD player. I’d love something like that.

High yield savings account would get you a little over 1k$ a month from interest alone. I already live on less than that. I’d just live off the interest.

well yeah I am a poor.

So i both agree and disagree with you.

1. Why are they keeping their old cum? That’s gross ur right. They should be WASHING the cum rags between uses.
