That’s not an actual argument I’ve ever heard and I’m an anarchist myself, it usually goes more like:

Voting is a waste of time especially the more disenfranchised you are, mutual aid lasts longer and does more for people around you in the short term, in the long term you can build community get organized, and bargain for more than what simply voting can get you.

Personally that’s not a bad argument, see I’m living in Israel and my town’s going through gentrification, and the state I’m living under is fascist and the fascism is so normalized, not because of people like me refusing to vote, but because of liberals who were never so different from the fascists, constantly giving them ground, always bargaining for the bare minimum.

The only people actually getting anything done that is remotely positive are activists, like the people protesting to stop the genocide, and getting involved physically with sabotaging fascist efforts to stop humanitarian aid from getting into gaza.

Or at least that’s how it was months ago, i haven’t found it in me to listen to the news on quite a while, so what do i know.

Not really, generators have weird truthiness, i don’t remember if they evaluate to true or false, but they cannot be checked for emptiness so they default to either always true or always false.

To emulate* on my desktop 😌

I’m OOTL, what’s wrong with H&S? (Besides not being European)

Okay other commenters have said this already, but it still needs to be said, your husband is an immature asshole.

The dynamic between you two sounds like this, you try to appease him, and if he doesn’t think you’re doing enough he’ll punish you, like he is an authority figure and not your husband.

First of all you deserve better, you sound like you need more care from a relationship and that’s perfectly fine, my partner also deals with migraines/back-pains/nausea, and requires special care sometimes for it, and i do my best to make her feel cared for, as i should, would your husband do the same?

Secondly, and I’m coming back to it again, you said he’s punishing you and lied to your mom, that’s toxic af i don’t even know what to say, he could’ve made you something to eat himself, perhaps not something complicated, I’m not a good cook myself, but there isn’t really a lack of easy meals to make but instead he is playing stupid man child games trying to dictate punishment on his spouse???

Lastly, in another comment you said he won’t ever admit he is wrong, he is over 30, if he can’t admit he is ever wrong now, he won’t learn how in the future, i don’t even see the point in asking “do you want to build a life with him?”, he sounds unbearable.

Also him refusing to go to therapy is wild, I’m trying to go through therapy even when i have trouble trusting the psychologist and the psychiatrist, and i just do my best to make sure i understand every step of the way.

You deserve better, you can do better than him, and honestly sounds like you’d be better without him.

Sorry if i sounded too harsh, I’m used to dealing and hearing about shit men, you take care of yourself, peace.

The 3rd option is still playing with liberal electoralism which got you here in the first place. you could get results faster with mutual aid and strong unions, this is how you guys got worker rights before, in the times of FDR.

A better presence in social media is a good direction though, especially in federated communities that don’t need to fear corporate censorship.

I know what you mean, i recently started studying in uni as i couldn’t find a job since i was fired, I’m lucky i had a chance to save money though, and a good scholarship, incredibly lucky.

I can’t tell you what to do in order to find a job, but i got my first actual good job through a friend recommending me to the boss, maybe you can do something similar, i wouldn’t be able to know, though.

Keep your head up high, I’m sure someone here will have good advice, you’re worth your the effort.

Changing environments can do wonders, so maybe plan to find somewhere more positive in the long term, whatever fits your situation.

For the short term, find smaller communities interested in the same things that you are, try and make friends online, find your own little friendly circle, a positive place to escape to can be a big change.

And you do have worth, you are lovable, and you deserve some goddamn peace of mind, it won’t come without a bit of effort, but it will be very worth it.

You have good luck out there, friend, it’s a harsh world, we all deserve better.

ps. English is my 2nd language, so my tone might be cold, no offense meant.

Well it’s been a while, and she found better treatment, she was prescribed anti depressants that also help with chronic pains, she’s been feeling way happier for it, and I’m happier for her :)

Quality content 👌🏽✨

Thank you, TTT’s video was what i thought of. Worth mentioning for anyone wondering why, that green growth is not compatible with solarpunk, because solarpunk has a large intersection with degrowth.

They’re pretty good in science communication but i wouldn’t ever call them solarpunk, I’d say more but honestly others have said it better than i did.

Also in the solarpunk instance :)

They are all nice experiences, and it’s rather sad i can’t share that experience with my more casual friends :/

I’ll do my best to take this to heart, thanks

LibreOffice was very useful whenever i was asked to use MS Office, it’s the shit

Tbh i already feel like an asshole because I’m having a hard time getting through to her, and she’s now feeling so much guilt over this, wish it didn’t have to be so hard.

Thank you very much, i don’t mind doing most of the housework, thing is we don’t live together (yet, hopefully we will soon), so there’s a lot of guilt and other feeling on her side, i hope i can hold it just a bit more, until it gets better.

I had that idea, i think now that i have a bit of time on my hands I’ll compile a list of stretches and compile detailed videos or links if i find any, and maybe will see to it that she does them correctly.

The latter, and the underutilization of the fact that the standard library exists, and consequently the existence of so many micro dependencies.
