  • I clearly state that sometimes people gotta work just to get by and I respect that. But for many of us, especially here on lemmy who tend to be older, this isn’t the case. I get that it’s a touchy subject, no-one wants to be told they are lazy or that they’re living their life wrong, but I believe that there’s some truth to it. I don’t know what the sollution is, but I think admitting to it a society is the first step.







  • My second and most recent one was tough. She was a good girl and incredibly mature for her age (we were 22 when we broke up), and truthfully I wasn’t ready for that kind of a relationship and still had some exploring to do.

    We used to catch up once a year or so, but she has a partner now who doesn’t like me seeing her and while I’m sad about it, I respect it and promised not to reach out until she does. I’m over her and not holding my breath, but if she ever does I’d definitely consider giving it another shot. Turns out that girls like that are few and far between.









  • I have two trains of thought on this. The first is naturally occuring vs man made. Stones are naturally occuring, bricks are not. While we as a species have always made shelter, there is something “unnatural” about modern homes with glass windows, running water, steel beams etc.

    The second is natural vs synthetic. GMO’d food, hydrocarbons etc. I think the biggest difference to me regarding this is around how long we’ve been exposed to the substances. We’ve been exposed to certain foods and chemicals (from plants etc) for 100,000s of years and so our bodies handle them well. Our bodies haven’t adapted to things like polymers, microplastics or high fructose corn syrup, which is why these “unnatural” chemicals are considered bad.
