What you mentioned was exactly what happened to me. I was literally a MINUTE walk from home and the button just WASNT doing anything, and the street was insanely busy. I was waiting for 30 MINUTES before I legit called my mom to drive like 300 feet to pick me up. It took 1 minute.
I was scarred from walking much ever since.
Same. If I’m at home trying to sleep I will genuinely have a panic attack without it. It’s the only thing that strongly occupies my attention enough to prevent a panic attack from setting in (that I can do while in bed)
Anything else is not personally engaging enough to prevent my mind from wandering (like listening to music, browsing Lemmy, or reading)
Anyone else feel really allienated when people act like it’s normal for women to have an anxious breakdown in the presence of, or interacting with a dude?
I don’t want to downplay what some go through, or the trauma that people relive, but it’s not normal or healthy to be living in constant fear of the opposite sex.
For all the guys who feel like their presence is an active threat to the women around them: just be normal. Be courteous, but don’t treat them higher, or lower, than anyone else you meet. Feels weird I have to say that
I think it’s that way for many, manyyyy things. It was what I felt learning professional timberframing (in the Japanese tradition). Online there is an incredible abundance of information, plus admiration of handtools, especially by professionals, but in the real world they are used very lightly, and the skills developed fine tuning them do not apply as much as you think.
I was expecting to beat my chisels like mad, but we mostly just pare (slicing cuts) with them.
No because corps and oligarchs will campaign against it, inexplicably win, and destroy one of the country’s greatest achievements with cheers and applause
Its cynical, but its happened to many social programs thay way.
Yeah. Baguettes and bagels suckkkk if they aren’t super tender. Only been to 1 Bagel shop where they’re soft enough you could eat it like a normal sandwich, and not spill it’s guts everywhere
Usually store bought raw chicken is way bigger
To me it kinda sounds like covert narcissism “I’m so awful dumb pathetic and terrible I won’t ever accomplish anything” and uses it as an excuse to be a lazy pos. A lot like boogie2988. Does it to drum up empathy, to enable his lazyness and uselessness.
