That was my exact thought. Just the comprehensiveness of the pattern lol.

Not me. The rural part? Yes. But I can smell and feel the wet. In this type of place, you’ll be in a war of attrition against insects of all types. And mold and wood rot. Then there’s the wild animals or scary horror film neighbors.

I think it’s good to discuss our feelings. Men have socially reinforced the exact opposite amongst themselves and had it imposed on them by others. We’ve all heard “boys don’t cry, man up” etc. I worked with a young man who thought he was mad all the time. We broke through that, he was having so many emotions he didn’t know how to label because he simply wasn’t encouraged in that direction. That, I think, is incredibly lonely.

Stack on top of that growing up behind a computer screen, surrounded by manfluencers giving questionable advice, having your formative years recorded and picked apart…not being able to make those early awkward social interactions because of covid for a lot of young men as well…yeah.

Of course I think it does get conflated with a lack of intercourse or whatever. Young women are feeling abused by their lack of rights and they view what would traditionally be awkward young love/courtship as a threat. Incel ideology used to be fridge, but there are a disturbing number of young men embracing these ideas. All while women’s reproductive options are limited, making intimacy more difficult for everyone.

So there’s this historical precedent of not opening up, but boys started to learn not to do that anymore. Just in time to get shut down. It’s not girls fault, it’s not boys fault, it sucks. But I don’t see it improving until intimacy feels safe for everyone again.

I had no idea. Tyvm for the info.

Makes sense, I didn’t know that. The power bar gels I eat at basically electrolytes and a little caffeine.

Used to be me. I grew up during heroine chic so it was intentional fasting. Gaining even a pound was unacceptable. That behavior stuck around even though nobody cares anymore. These days, I have rice cakes throughout the day, so I don’t get the shakes. And those little power bar gels.

Not sure I wanna be penetrated by my washer though there’s a first time for everything. Maybe the agitator is the trick.

I’ve had a clam all my life. I am still somewhat confused about how laundry appliances are supposed to accomplish this task.

Trad is code for bangmaid. And when you have a child or two or age a little you get replaced.

In the 00s I was living on my own and working from 16. My teacher took me on as an aid and gave me the smallest of tasks. Most days she just let me sleep on her couch for the period. I was exhausted.

Annnnd now I’m baking cookies

I don’t want to oversell it. A lot of it is super basic, meant for elementary and special education. However there may be some good inspiration. Good luck. :)

Quick place to grab common visual stimuli found in classrooms. Everything from decorative, to behavioral charts and data sheets. Free or very cheap educational resources basically.

Alright here’s my attempt.

Not many people worth biting, even for a professional zombie.

I was about to say I’ve encountered a few individuals during school consults. Elementary even.

Hi space Jesus

Brains are the most attractive feature imo. Perhaps I am a zombie.

We uh…read books. And spread misinformation among ourselves. Good times.
