the post of tom joad

Aaaaah hahahahaha i wish i could see your face while you were typing out this “lesson” omg. Sheeeeheehee i can’t, i can’t! were you proud of yourself when you hit reply, like “aw yeah gottem”?

I dunno what dating experience you have, or even if everyone does this. Only speaking to my own experience, i used to calculate whether i was being a good mate or whether i was being taken advantage, that kind of thinking. When i met my partner all that stuff disappeared.

I glossed over the “get head right” stage but that was the most important bit for me, and may be where you are in life if you follow my path.

I am and have always been a romantic, really wanted to be with someone. Gave up even looking for dates and focused on my own head and life. Went to the gym, got a little project to do, (you know, that pat shit everyone says to do like it’s fucking easy.)

It just happened to be something i was capable of in that moment. I i discovered them what it means when ppl say exercise is good for your brain. And then, while i was busy minding my business i got chased down and married by someone who saw more in me than i see in myself.

I’m definitely not special in any way, solid 6/10. That means it can happen to you even tho it sounds like I’m blowing smoke up your ass.

Anyway i don’t know how to finish this, but i really empathize with where you are cuz i was there too. i just wanna extend the belief to you that you can get here, you really can.

When you’re in the right frame of mind (where you aren’t looking to complete yourself with someone else) someone will find you or you will find someone where the “calculations” about proper amounts of time and money spent with them go out the window and the “work” that must be done does not feel like such.

At least that’s what happened to me. When it feels natural you can tell the difference from the other ones… then you’re on the right track to happiness

Epstein didn’t kill himself

I’m just screwing around but you want to talk about fear and power in Washington? Leverage? Who has them tapes?

It’s not nuts to say here a lot of politicians are implicated right? I wonder who’s gottem?

Not that any exuse needs to exist beyond the rampant corruption, cowardice, and lack of compassion we see daily on garish display

This from the store that smelled like an axe bottle and had soft core porn mags inside?

If they don’t list their pronouns and i can’t tell by their speech i just go neutral. Checking profiles for gender is definitely not considered necessary in the circles i run in. If poster doesn’t make it clear and doesn’t have pronouns listed honest mistakes will be made and forgiven

Game. Blouses

Speaking of PB me and wifey can’t get away with saying “it’s possible” without the other replying “pig”

He’s been waiting longer than ash to win but he became team rocket to do it

Your setup is (was?) awesome but it’s not necessary these days. An online search for free media streaming sites and an ad-blocker (but of course) brings up sites with at least the same polish as Netflix (the only site i have experience with) and full 1080p. When i briefly used my sister’s Disney+ and my in-laws’ prime, it was noticeably worse than my favorite bookmarked free streaming sites, not to mention i needn’t wonder if the service owns all the seasons of the show i wish to see

Talk about missin the point bro. That point being “paid services are universally inferior to free ones even when excluding the variable of cost”

Poor wording in title. Union said, paraphrased: “non-negotiable we strike until we get a 40% pay rise” so this “offer” was never in good faith.

I was looking to find what this actually does about shrinkflation and couldn’t find it.

If this is some fact-finding committee i swear I’ll lose my mind. The shrinkflation’s not even subtle, and its much much more than the paltry examples listed.

Like it’s so insulting i stopped me bad habit of eating kids cereal as a treat/dessert. The fact there’s no value prospect anymore is one thing, sure but the size of these goddamn cereal boxes got so small so fast even my lizard brain (the one ad guys work so hard to manipulate) gets angry instead of tempted.

I leave the grocery store imagining it’s on fire every week and I bet I’m not the only one

“Trans people aren’t super-sayajins so existing assault laws are probably fine”

Well it’s not insane because the laws in the us are made to be chains for the poor and spiderwebs for the rich. This is on purpose.

The lies we tell ourselves to cope, and the “justifications” the powerful use to keep those laws in place are what’s insane.

Shhh i love them they taught me what whale tail was

The only way student loans will ever be forgiven is forgiving ourselves for not paying them

Haha you’re right about the need for an /s. With a popular enough post there always someone who misreads otherwise. I actually wanted to compliment the intense feeling your post evoked, good jerb
