Removing other stressors and toxic people from my life. Listening to emotional responses.

My anxiety from a rough relationship was giving me generalized social anxiety.

Sometimes you meet people and give then a chance before your figure it out. You can just cut them off once you see their toxicity. They’ll survive just fine so don’t worry about them. There’s plenty of other people who are ready for good and healthy friendships.

I had one back in the day which was the same load size as normal washing machine and had two modes of drying. First is like you say. The other, if you hook up an exhaust duct, dried clothes in the same time as a regular dryer.

As long as you don’t need anything from them there isn’t one. But then why would you be sending a message in the first place?

Yep that’s totally true.

Worth noting as well that even if you can dish out for higher cost goods that alone doesn’t mean you escape these labor practices. Not only do you need the wealth to buy conscientiously, but you need the time and energy to investigate the supplier and their supply chain. i failed to read your whole post, blame the app 😅

The choice is often false, and that’s a systemic affect. The idea that the less well off are judged for making such decisions isn’t about ethics, it’s about class.

They turned it into a study of how the rotting carcasses impact the environment!

Yeah it can also make you feel like a rail spike is being driven into your head…

Look up The Handy

I get it now. I was kind if skipping some context. I was saying under legal means sharing books is fine and good(not paying for it). e.g. going to a library. But you can certainly copy books and distribute them. I posit that it’s nearly always ethical to do so. Whether or not it’s legal is a different question and depends on the material in question.

Yes?

Did i say something anti-library or am i reading into this wrong?

Beyond missing the subtext…

I don’t actually read all that much. I’m excruciatingly slow and i don’t currently commute. Most of my reading was on public transit or camping. But the authors i like just happen to either be ok with sharing copies of their work or it’s available for free anyways. That said I’ve bought maybe twenty books in the last decade…

Textbooks from exploitative publishers especially i refuse to pay for. E.g. Wiley, pearson, McGraw-Hill, etc… As well technical publications and journals.

The great Gatsby was provided by school when i read it. All the books were in my k-12. Most the students couldn’t afford them.

No this would be rage bait for trump cult members.

The idea is expressed for catharsis. It’s only going to push awful people further into caustic masculine behaviors. So it’s not actually directed at them, its target audience is other folk who have to deal with their awful behaviors.

As long as you’re not unnecessarily approaching strangers in public and you build trust in your personal relationships then you can safely ignore it.

Edit: actually you kind of need to once you understand the problem being described or your mental health will take a severe hit. Talking from experience here…

The only books I’ve paid for are the ones where the author explicitly allows copy and free distribution.

Well, those and the ones that get bundled with online access way back in uni.

The other benefit is there’s no fun and games on the windows boot so i can’t get distracted from work. If it was just a quick shortcut away I’d get nothing done.

Separate hard drives fixes this one.
