If all my friends frequently are unable to message me, because they are busy, does that mean exactly what it says, or could they secretly hate me?

    On the occasions where they do message you back, how substantial are the conversations? Based on you saying they apologize, it sounds like they do value you. If they didn't like you, they don't have to message you. It would be way easier to just not message you and let it fizzle out.

    "I want Israelis to be sent to their near certain death to annex a sovereign state and murder its population, I just don't want to be among those people!"

  • For me, it's social dancing, specifically West Coast Swing. Because while there is just social dancing, and some who only do it, there's a bit of a culture of competition, and it has its own governing body for determining where you place in competitions, and when it does sound like a cult when described.

    I've posted on social media about how it's fucked up that more money is going to Isntreal than to hurricane relief, and libs are saying that's a "right wing talking point" without explanation. Why?

    Right-wingers do commonly say "there should be no foreign aid given until we fix our problems". The problem is, there's a difference between giving aid to another country that just had a really bad natural disaster, vs giving money and military aid to help another country commit a genocide.

    As far as I know, the only reason she gained so much traction as a meme is because chuds just imagined LGBTQ people being mad at a hetero sex reference during Pride Month, and the culture war dollars came in.

    He's probably more mad that Jon Oliver's style is now more popular. Not really funny (at least in my opinion), but at least well-researched.

    (Yes, I know that, at least how he presents, he has problems seeing the main problem as capitalism. But when it comes to domestic issues, he is definitely well-reseaeched.)

    What, no. That's too much effort. Maybe tagging the landlord's name in one Instagram post is enough. If I remember to do so.

    Like, I still have termination anxiety. When there's nothing obvious to do at work, I get really anxious, like there's something I'm forgetting to do. What should be relaxing is a source of dread.

    I've been unemployed for almost 6 months now. I wasn't even paid enough while I was working, but now, I've depleted all my savings, my credit card balance is going up, I'm not even sure how much longer I can keep collecting unemployment, I still have absolutely zero job prospects, I'm having a hard time affording anything that gives me genuine enjoyment. Beyond money, I don't have a good social life. I really only have acquaintances who would all rather be with other people. Me thinking about finding love feels like me thinking about being a billionaire, basically just a fantasy so far from the conditions of my life, it's absurd. If I finally get a job, what then? I still have to scrounge to financially recover? I'm still alone? What do I even have to live for?

    I also recently learned this fact about the audio that really got to me. After the researchers recorded this, they played it back, then he excitedly flew over, thinking he just heard another ʻōʻō bird.

    Ironically, this person is probably deifying Trump just as much, if not more, than his supporters by claiming that his death would turn the tide of the Russia-Ukraine War and that it would have any pull on China.

    Do gingerbread people feel weird about living in gingerbread houses, that their house is made of the same material as their flesh, or in gingerbread world, is the material only the same on an atomic level, like how humans are made of carbon and so are most building materials?

    Like, not even the most hardcore tankie called the Russian invasion of Ukraine the "Russia-Azov War". Wouldn't it make more sense to call it the Israel-Palestine War? Or even the Israel-Gaza War? (Yes, I know it's less of a war, more of an genocide, but still.)
