I think about the car thing a lot, as we may need a new one in a few years.

My husband’s father leased a new BMW. He picked us up on easter with it. The whole front is a giant screen. You wave your hand a certain way, it can change the song or adjust the volume… by waving your hand. While he thought it was cool, all I could think about was the fact something was visually recording every movement in the car. And what if you’re a person who talks with their hands?

Stupid fucking needless features.

sitting in the office waiting to die 8 hours a day

That is exactly why I absolutely thrived in manufacturing. Well, the right type of manufacturing. I’d rather die than work in an office. I lasted exactly one month at my one and only desk job before I had to quit and find something different.

I don’t write often anymore either, but recently tried to write a letter to someone, wow after a few sentences could I notice how out of practice I was. I ‘jot things down’ all the time, but a letter, paragraphs, whew.

I think it’s tough, because many degree jobs are all desk jobs, so it’s like, you want the degree and good money, but the work, doesn’t sound fun. Im glad wfh has helped though, thats great

Doodle. I always doodled in my notes. Repeating patterns worked for me, because I am no artist.

I am still unmedicated, and method helped me a lot with lectures using pencil snd paper for notes.

Everyones different, I failed my online college courses. In person, I do alright. You may like online better.

But if you’re forced to sit in lecture, fuckin doodle.

I found this really interesting and thought provoking. I loved the line how ultimate optimism is not always misplaced.

Not all women are becons of morality.

While statistically women are more likely to have empathy and emotional understanding and more communication thus, we are not perfect by any sense.

Your underlying rhetoric here is deeply divisive. I agree men are more prone to violent action, whether in a leadership role or just as a person. It’s why more women attempt suicide but more men are successful.

We cant just throw men away. We start with the culture, we start with teaching boys emotional intelligence, language, and how to reach for support. Then, we don’t reject them for reaching for such support.

It should be considered masculine to show vulnerability, it is one of the hardest things to get used to, if you’ve not been allowed/able to for so long. However, vulnerability leads to personal growth. Real vulnerability, followed by acceptance from peers, will give personal growth, understanding, and acceptance.

Fathers, hug your sons and tell them you love them. Teach our sons better. Cultural change is slow, you jumping on to say it’s always mens fault is a shallow and lazy thought. You’ve put so little thought into the “whys”.

The men/women culture war has been amplified enough now, we need to come together and find how we can support eachother.

I’ve been a victim of multiple men. Like, it’s truly stupid, where somedays I hate myself solely for letting myself in these situations. But I don’t harbor hate for men. I feel bad for the ones who are lost, because I too have been lost.

I want us to focus more on solutions than just, bitching
