How about you just have an honest convo with him about what you’re into? And ask him point blank about his thoughts.

Working in the office is really nice, I enjoy it when I go. But the extra 3 hours of commute time added to my day really tire me out and make it hard to keep on top of the housework needed to stay alive.

When I stay home I have more of my life together. When I go to the office I have more of my work together. It seems I can’t have both. Hybrid is the best for me, but if I had to choose, WFH only. I would simply perish if I had to work 5 days a week. I would eat only cup noodles, the house would be filthy, I would have nearly 0 clean clothes.

If you want a confidence boost, wearing an outfit you really like helps. I wear a 3/4 full length cloak and strut down the street, and my brain goes, “yeah. I am that cool. I’m the coolest one here 😎” which really puts pep in my step. Or if I pull together a good goth fit, same thing.

Buy or make some clothes you love, or accessories you love. Develop fun hobbies, and that will help you make friends!

Help and protection usually come from investing in relationships with other people. Very few people get that experience by default. Find your people and be a friend.

And if you’re looking for a partner, step 1 is still making friends.

It really depends what the root cause of your wakefulness is. Like, if it’s chemical, i.e. you had too much coffee etc - you’re probably stuck.

But if it’s because of stress you can probably do some things to get relaxed.

My major tip is, NEVER look at the time. It’ll stress you out. And small periods of sleep are far more restful than you worry they will be.

Yeah makes sense dude. I hope you have a lovely day!

Me Tor. Tor learn make woven grass from Tor-mum. Tor been make woven grass for long time. Tor forget when Tor small and not know how make woven grass. Tor only know that Tor make woven grass. It seem easy for Tor.

Tor had Tor-child. Tor-child not know how do thing that Tor do easy. Tor forget that Tor-child need be taught. Tor forget learn not come easy, that many mistake happen. Tor tell friends that Tor-child dumb as rock. Tor-child learn so slow. Tor-child must be lazy.

Tor-mum thought same thing. But all learn slow. All not know how until someone show how. Happenings make thoughts, become learning, become knowing - become rock where more learning and knowing be built. More rock, more knowing, easy learning. No rock, small knowing, hard learning. Tor should not think Tor better than Tor-child when Tor same age.

Not sure what your context and life story is. From my perspective it seemed like an aggressive and vitriolic choice where “stupid” would have sufficed. As an insult it seems to have a lot more cultural weight behind it which is why I called it a slur. Words are all just sounds, it’s the societal landscape which decides what they actually mean. My friends were telling me they’ve been hearing that word used a lot more frequently as an insult than they remembered from a couple of years ago, so I was particularly primed to make a comment on it.

I am not in favour of censorship of people’s words at the state level. Language is a community project which should be dealt with at a community level. Which is why I said something. I think we should try to be a bit kind in how we speak.

Now that I think about it I don’t think calling people stupid is helpful either. I feel like a lot of “stupidity”, especially as relates to politics, is about low quality schooling and a social media landscape which is designed to implant and further certain beliefs.

Yeah anyway, I guess, mostly I’m tired of watching the world crumble around me and would like to start building things so this mostly ended up as a pile of my random thoughts. I hope you’re having a less tiring day today 😊

Your post feels like it has a case of slopspeak 🤔

Might wanna get that checked out. If you are indeed a human who wrote those words yourself.

People are flawed. Education quality is also a systemic problem which has caused many to not reach the potential they might’ve had. But I don’t think using the R-slur will help?

My uncle’s neighbour’s cat used to do that to him. Now they have a cat. The neighbour gave up trying to get the cat to come back.

Man, if the checks feel excessive you’d be astounded to know how the bot frequency feels 😂

Sure… but I’d like for them to make some sort of amends for stealing all the content on the internet to make it?

And I’d like content made by AI to have that declared so consumers can support human artists and avoid grifters.

Australian here. Financially things are okay for me and most the people I know, but the general stress is getting to us all. I always feel so worn down. A weekend is enough time to not want to die but not enough time to get actually rested.

I had to get a mouthguard because I’m grinding my teeth at night and the dentist said they’ve seen a spike in the number of people with the same problem. The stress is real and measurable.

Do they not know the joke is that you will definitely regret it?

God I hate corporations.

Haha, absolutely! That is why I said “sparked”. The Reformatory forces had been brewing for ages! It’s a super interesting period of history!!!

I’m pretty sure people in the wild already call him “That Orange Man” or equivalent.

We don’t have a common parlance word for those two bits of the palm in English. Do not say “heel” though, that is very wrong.

The medical term in English is “thenar” and “hypothenar”, but if you had just said “based on the palm" that would have been sufficient explanation for another speaker to get it.

You have encountered Gnostic thought (and related heresies!) The Gnostics believed that the God of the Christian Old Testament was actually Satan all along. It is an interesting rabbit hole to fall down into.

The 95 Thesen by Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation. That’s an impact that cannot be understated.

They… are?
