Is this satire? SoaD is one of the most political bands I know?

in my experience,

yeah, that’s the issue. anecdotal evidence.

Also science is full of arrogant people, both males and females.

Not really.

You could have walked away and not replied to me, shut off your phone or computer and spent your time with more productive or enjoyable activities than arguing with strangers on the internet. You’re not 5 years old, it doesn’t matter who “started it” (I don’t care), you’ve come into this comment section and posted an unpopular opinion and let yourself be consumed by anger.

I feel obliged to point out (for the people that might be quietly reading this, you can ignore this) that living in a dense neighborhood and being forced to interact with real human beings on a regular basis is good for my mental health. Reminds me that most people are actually okay and not like “keyboard warriors” on the internet.

are you realising how petty and mean you’ve become in this comment section? is this the person you want to be? is this the person your daughter would be proud of calling her parent? exercise is proven to be good for mental health, maybe you should take a trip to that park you’ve mentioned and leave the internet be for the day.

What is important to you may not be to others.

Honestly, genuinely, being able to get fresh produce daily and good bread - gluten free or not (there’s gluten free bread???) - and being able to be spontaneous and take a quick 5 minute walk to the store because I’ve unexpectedly run out of eggs in the middle of baking or whatever aren’t things that are at all important to me, they are just facts of life. What’s important to me is not being inconvenienced by people who think it’s their god-given right to own a car and make it everyone’s problem.

My issue here is that you’re saying

I get to go shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day

like everyone should obviously agree that only going once every two weeks is the better experience and just stopping by on the way to or from work or in your lunch break is somehow an inferior experience.

You are sitting here trying to prove my preference is wrong.

I don’t care about you, I care about other people possibly reading this and want to make sure - since they’re interested in the conversation already - why we think living car-free is better. The top level comment on this chain is you stating your opinion that cars are better, with no explanation at all as to why. I know that people like you are a lost cause.

Privacy… in a car… in 2024…

I was going to only comment that but seriously,

shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day

that just means you’ll only have fresh produce for a week at most, any bread you buy will be unusable after 4 days and if something you need is not in stock you have to wait another two weeks.

Not sure for iOS, but on Android you can put the stopwatch widget on your home screen if you use it a lot, makes it easier to reach. Not as easy as a dedicated stopwatch, but an option if you don’t want one but use the feature a lot.

Liszt.

Someone else here said to spend time reflecting, but I found this only made things (edit) worth worse for myself.

My secret weapon is distraction, it’s the only thing that truly helps when I’m in a, uh, dangerous (for me) mood. Distracting yourself with things you love doing helps distancing yourself from the situation and makes you realise there is more to life than your ex.

No amount of talking about my feelings or reflecting on the relationship has helped me as much as listening to music, drawing, baking, exploring new online communities etc.

You know how people will say if you start lying to yourself that you’re great and happy, you’ll eventually start believing it? It’s similar to that, I think, you remind yourself often enough that there are other things you love and that make life worth living.

So, yeah, time + filling your life to the brim with things and activities you love.

Have you heard of rabies?

So excited to see Capcom hasn’t forgotten about these games. Really hoping they release an Ace Attorney Investigations duology in the future…

(not OP) I’m curious, are you not able to “play back” songs in your head then, for example? This is such a foreign idea to me - sometimes there are melodies playing in my head without me even initiating it, in a way. I’m wondering if there are people this doesn’t happen to.

Not who you replied to, but you can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine (archive.org) to view an older snapshot of the site

I told myself the same lie, week after week, until some day I realised it wasn’t a lie anymore.

Really feels like bottom of the barrel r/funny stuff, the kinda stuff we really don’t need to be bringing back…

Also if your partner just died for three days I think you should get a pass at being angry and upset but maybe temporary death is more common than I thought.

Some bonafide boomer humor…

It’s also bullshit, we still have “realistic” art, but we let people express themselves however they want nowadays. Whether that is by painting the beauty of human life or trying to capture feelings in geometric shapes is up to the artist. That’s a good thing. We don’t need to put down art we don’t vibe with, and nobody is forcing people to enjoy or relate to “modern” art.

(Also I just want to shake every person who says “tHiS Is nOt ArT” about some piece they don’t like because oh my god art is whatever you want it to be and doesn’t follow some set of rules)

Either this is very lukewarm satire or one of the dumbest boomer comics I’ve ever seen.

Bubble tea. Expensive, but so good on a hot day…
