Young men who start to behave this way are lacking direction and aren’t self-starters. So to cope with the fact they aren’t accomplishing anything or going anywhere in life, they assume an outwardly-accusing posture.
Contrary to the image peddled by the grifters, every guy I’ve known with the “alpha” mentality has been a dishwasher, car porter, snow shoveler, or unemployed cretin.
Oy.
Yes, these self-reporting polls have been used for decade as one measurement device. They were fine when it was self-evident what “smoking”, “drinking”, and “drugs” meant.
Now the issues are far more complex and nuanced, and we now live in a world where the pharmacological knowledge of today’s random 14yo outshines what I would have learned in 2nd year university in the 90s.
Kids drink cough syrup recreationally because “that’s not drugs”. We still live in world of denial where benzos are “drugs” but alcohol isn’t because idk I guess the active molecules are suspended in liquid?
Young people have been propagandized and lied to, to the point many don’t even know if they’re “smoking” or not.
I just don’t anymore.
I don’t buy a wire- or mechanical- puzzle I make one. If I want a tile-based game (think scrabble, qwirkle, rummy) I make them with upcycled junk and paint markers.
I don’t buy bread or pizza crusts or tortillas, I make them. I can make a month of bready products in an optimized hour of work for 1/30th the price.
I play indie games by inexperienced developers who charge $4.99 because I’d rather try new mechanics even if they fall flat.
I’m currently precipitating copper into an aqueous solution on my stovetop and later I’ll try electroplating the copper onto some random thing. Because this is free and fun AS FUCK. Forget going to the arcade or to a pre-packaged event show or movie.
I am just drifting away from everything that’s not hand made. Fuck it already.
Many never get past level 0 which is to monitor to the heat and stop. fking. flipping. unless its with intention.
Exactly. Good music never ever goes where you expect and should always suspend the listener in a delightful unease.
I’m a non-musician that love jazz, fusion, prog, etc. What I need from music is human rhythm. I am revolted by Bach style mathematical fugues and so forth, they’re different… not music in the way my mind and heart thinks of music.
I moved from MB to QC in 1999-2003 and I was so shocked by the differences I ended up giving my car to my sister back in MB.
Metro to work would be like 25 minutes including walk, where vehicle to parking to work would be like 1 hour.
edit: It didn’t last because I ended up shacking up with a woman who was too lazy to walk a block, so we ended up with another car. Yay. Now I get to spend 2 hours of every day constantly shoveling parking spots and driving in circles looking for parking :/
I just want to share my perspective. I just had my car totaled (not my fault) and I decided to bank the insurance payout and not rebuy, and see what it was like. I didn’t think I’d cope since I’m now 50 and had a car my whole life from age 16.
I’m actually a little shocked to say I don’t I miss the car, and further I actively enjoy not having a car anymore. It did necessitate rearranging some of my habits, but now I save a shitload of money and I seem to find it more convenient in more ways than I expected. And it’s just so much less stress and worry.
I’ve never been fitter, and the freedom from lugging it around, gassing it up, washing it, maintaining, finding parking, blabla saves me time and bother almost everywhere. I stress so much less because of constant vandalism, and needing to seek stable non-ticketed parking at friends’ places and at my apartment.
There are times I need to do a big shopping thing or just go to the beach, I rent a car for a day. I don’t need to live a life of deprivation I just re-balanced things. If I need to go out for some special occasion I cab/uber round trip.
Maybe take a look at those big feels of yours.
Got it, nobody gets to think or discuss until you feel safe.
Ah, another person who doesn’t have a penis, who doesn’t understand that when you sit down and compress everything and then stand up, piss goes everywhere.
Shut up and never speak again on how men should urinate. Unless you’re going to equally advocate that men have appropriate waste disposal tools in bathrooms, such as stand-up urinals.
Facebook was a wonderful tool for me for quite a while. It let me build a digital list of my irl “friends” and then I got watch over the years as they posted their most vile and ill-conceived innermost thoughts.
An excellent tool for seeing what people really think and feel when they’re not “performing” in social settings. Curiously people don’t understand that public posts to a public SM site aren’t anonymous but there’s enough separation from the “real world” that lots of people forget that.
Just sitting back and watching gave me a lot of insight as to how awful people really are when they “feel like” they aren’t being watched.
I remember studying high school law around that time, and my recollection was that paraphernalia wasn’t illegal per se, which always struck me as odd. I could be misremembering though. If you find any retroactive clarification I’d love to know.
You nailed it but it wasn’t that the laws were more strict, it was that enforcement was more strict. Really it was just police arbitrarily enforcing laws that were not on the books.
I guess if you’re really want to get into it, it’s that Winnipeg had one of the most corrupt police forces in Canada until about two decades ago. Basically hells Angels in the police, ensuring that competition was kept to a minimum.
No farmers, no (food) insane weed rockin’ the land
I mean obv no food either
Damn man thanks! Good boost to start my day… appreciate it!
It’s hard for people to understand, but there was a time from the late 70’s to early 80’s where after a screen “transition” whatever came up next on the screen was called a “new page”.
So if you were playing Intellivision AD&D going in a dungeon from the overworld was a “new page”. Or playing Karate Champ… going from the Title Screen to the Fight Mechanics part was thought of as a “new page”. Beating the first maze arrangement of Ms Pac Man would bring you to the next maze on “page 2”.
FYI get dollar store degreaser and leave it in the pan for a few hours then scrub with a ball of steel wool. Then canola oil and pop in the oven for 2 hours.
You went wayyyyy overkill. No need to pamper a cooking item you could throw off the roof and not notice any difference.
Ok so Beef Wellington is made with an actual BEEF muscle and hotdogs are made with PORK and pork fat pureed and jammed inside a casing. Beef Wellington is topped in mushrooms and mustard then wrapped in a wheat-flour pastry, while Corn Dogs are just battered in a sugary Corn Slurry.
This is such a stretch lol
Your ability to connect disconnected concepts is legendary. Good luck with your life lol
Straight up bullshit and a completely half-baked, ill-considered, ill-conceived idea. Completely disconnected from reality.
