I hate how demanding people are about being smiled at. A lot of people are really unhelpful unless you sit there smiling at them and laugh at their jokes. Mostly men but I’ve met other women like this too.

A lot of people just don’t smile naturally. Rbf is real. I’ve taught myself to smile and laugh but it takes so much energy. I’m so tired of this performative nonsense. I shouldn’t have to pretend to smile and laugh at my boss in order for him to treat me nicely and take me seriously.

I’m tired. So very tired.

Edit: Sorry but this is it for me and this platform. I’m done.

I don’t have the energy to post on this platform anymore. I understand that the person in this situation is a blatant troll but I’m also aware that the mod team of this community having a disdain for me.

I know I don’t post in this community often. I’m younger than a lot of people here and honestly, sometimes things do get a little extreme. There’s been times where I’ve felt like I was on crystalcafe. That said, even I deserve to feel safe here. And I don’t.

Yay we’re all going to die of heat death

any attempt to break out of it would make me look like a creep.

This depends.

If you’re attempting to convince someone who wants a monogamous relationship to have an open one or be poly then yes that is not only creepy, but outright abusive.

There are people out there for you. Go find them, but please don’t bother someone who doesn’t want that type of arrangement.

I’ve let go of them but the issue is finding new people to replace them.

Is it wrong of me to see this as a red flag?

If someone has access to therapy and they admit to having mental issues of some kind but they just say they’re going to work it out on their own then I usually start distancing myself.

Midtwenties and it feels over in a lot of ways. The majority of friends I’ve made growing up or in college are gone. People have spread out and started focusing on their own lives. Even people that I only ever knew online have began moving on.

In a lot of ways this has been fine because I’ve just turned inward and started focusing on myself too, started being selfish about what I want. I miss seeing a lot of my friends in person rather than random texts or seeing their stories on snap.

It’s very confusing at times because I enjoy being able to do whatever I want when I want without consulting anyone but I also miss having people to do things with.

Because that’s just how most people are.

People only care about what’s best for them and their own self-interests. The only difference is that some people think ahead or have a wider view of the general situation compared to others.

It’s worse than that though. Their court system is entirely rigged against defendants. Conviction rates elsewhere do not match those of Japan.

Or just hover nearby and watch them get burned alive. It’s what they deserve.

What do they want at this point? Is it blood? Is it my soul? Are we just expected to start paying these people just for existing?

You have the cushiest arrangement ever. You own the house forever and all you have to do is take care of it while someone else pays you to live in it. How could you want more than that?

It depends on the sect.

The Church of Christ doesn’t allow us to have any positions within the church and it outright states in multiple instances that we are to be subservient to the men in our lives.

and quite frankly, a lot of them don’t know obvious shit because, well, they’re young.

Being young or being a student doesn’t mean you’re dumb. Also even if you haven’t it’s still something you think about and discuss. Especially by your third and fourth years, it’s something you should be actively thinking about more and more.

I finished school two years ago by the way. Not trying to give you hope for the future or anything because a lot of people are dumb but they should know better.

You’d have to be really dumb to get caught by this.

People have been using the white font trick in job applications for years now.

That is the whole point.

The point was they’re allowed on the counters most of the time.

Honestly, I might start cutting back on commenting. Lemmy feels like half of it is just ragebait.

I understand that this is a new platform and it wants engagement but I can’t be bothered.

Two.

They’re both very well behaved. They don’t interrupt when I’m cooking but when I’m not they’re allowed to do as they please.

You shouldn’t be leaving any of that out unattended.

You should be cleaning your counters every single time you cook, both before and after.

They also walk all over the rest of your house?

Why are the counters any different?

Like I said earlier, as long as you clean the counters before you cook then it’s fine.

Does it really matter? Won’t the government just block all Chinese vehicles from being sold here so carmakers in this country don’t have to compete?
