So they are taking a page from YouTube where they out price the market until they are the market, and then will drastically raise prices because there’s no longer any competition?

I volunteer as tribute. ✌️

Whatever you’re on, can I please (please!) have some?

Same and I’m from the southeast us.

No they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.

The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little grumbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.

Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.

If it were me, I could not rise above and forgive. But that’s me, and how I feel has zero bearing on you and your boyfriend’s relationship. I also wish you both the very best and a long and happy relationship. 💙

It’s always never.

The enemy of my enemy or some shit.

I agree. It’s more a side effect. The goal should always be enjoyment or some other form of enrichment. Curiosity would work too.

Fairly sure that death is the ultimate reform that 100% guarantees criminals won’t be committing any crime ever again.

Flirting is a means of communicating that a person likes another person. If no one flirted, then meeting people would be even more difficult than it already is.

It just feels like its only purpose is to be a magnet for narcissists.

I’ve seen a few dating profiles near me with women claiming to be in Mensa. I’m glad they mention it, as it’s a dog whistle for me to move on to another profile that will inevitably ignore me because I just don’t stack up.

~That’s meant to be funny.~

So 5 beers for 100% daily recs? 🍻

Beer is made from water. So drink more “water”. 😉

I have a dentist office near me that also offers Botox. There’s also a boulevard that has a billboard advertising it. My area is not exactly considered the most affluent of areas.

Body Dysmorphia is real, and will trick a person into seeing themselves very differently than everyone else. American Dad did an episode on this once. Feel free to skip to the 4’00” mark.

Sometimes the best response is no response at all. Silence can be deafening.

You are allowed, and sometimes encouraged, to not say anything.

No, but if Musk and Zuckerberg has taught us anything, there are plenty of engineers who are willing to sell out humanity for fascism. No one is safe, and we should not trust random networks just because it’s “activist controlled”.
