I was born in the 80s. Mom was a teacher, Dad worked in IT.

Both conversations were not especially made out to be a… ok listen carefully we’re going to talk about this now. They were not made out to be a big deal, just happened naturally.

It was part of everyday life, if the subject arised it was not ignored, we were kept up to date on news and when we hadl questions about any subject, we always had an answer, we were encouraged to think critically about subjects being politics, sex or drugs, didn’t matter.

At the time my country was going through a very serious drug crisis, so it was impossible to ignore.

Fortunately the decriminalisation of all drugs lowered the drug problem significantly, but I was in college at that point.

In our country that kind of medication doesn’t get ads.

Only stuff like aspirin, paracetamol and cough drops get to make ads.

Liminal space vibes.

It seems absolutely exhausting to live inside your head.

If you’re in your teens, I get it, you’re still developing, you’ll get over it… But if you’re an adult… Oh boy… Please talk to a therapist about all this, you need to vent.

This seems like something you all should be discussing in family therapy.

This one is fun to play with friends too.

Showed the picture to my cat and she is totally laughing at him right now.

Yeah me and my husbands messages are mostly memes and cat pictures.

Would you keep the sentient one as a friend?

Not helpful for the current predicament, but good general advice for the future.

In my country companies are forced to give a certain amount of hours of free training a year to employees or they pay heavy fines.

They usually fill it up with compliance training bullshit though.

I’m in Europe and haven’t seen it yet either, so I guess it’s just random and we’ve been lucky.

I’m so with you on that. All these little steps towards that outcome make me so giddy and hopeful.

I really don’t know why, but it’s just such an amazing thought knowing that life thrives or thrived somewhere else.

Lmao!

They don’t do it as a “cover”, the heat waves just help it to propagate.

There’s no cover needed for this type of criminality.

I don’t understand if you’re trying to make a point. So what if they are set by people?

Do they happen in the winter when it’s cold?

I know nothing about this subject as I’m not personally acquainted with anyone that has to go through it but, as a woman that struggled with weight well through adulthood, to me you look and sound like a woman who’s self conscious about her weight.

There’s billions of us out there. What worked for me was just try to stop thinking of myself through other people’s eyes and restraint myself for the sake of my health.

I was 30 when a doctor said, if you don’t stop overeating now, being fat will be your defining characteristic. That opened my eyes, but still today at 40 and with a healthy weight, looking at sweets and pastries is still an internal struggle, a dialog I have with myself over and over. I suspect it’s going to be one for the rest of my life.

Sorry my comment went on a tangent, but to be honest the being a woman part of your post seemed less important, since it’s clearly just what your are.

Bathroom chandeliers aren’t free.

This has been my experience as well this week. I’m so disappointed, it’s mostly just clickbaits and ads.

And you went to bed instead of showing the computer to them. Kinda rude. They were probably disappointed.
