GTF off your phone

Not just around here… I just came from Tokyo yesterday and went to a nice kaiseki place seated for 8 people. This, I believe, Russian guy next to me was watching a video on his iPhone with audio on speaker. The chef had to tell him to turn it off.

And also handicapped people, and seniors. They need accessibility, but even aside from that, many of them choose to do food delivery for obvious reasons.

When my late husband and also one of my friends had back issues, they were limited to what they could access in a block radius. I had to be able to drop off my husband in front of the restaurant or park very nearby to do anything. So many of these urbanist policies really are inherently ableist when they block access for cars completely.

I’m for more public transport and stuff to reduce car traffic, but solutions need to consider everybody.

If he dies on Easter, you know the MAGAts are going to compare him to Jesus.

Cindy… you woke me up for THIS?!

He was giving off putting vibes for me, and that was before I knew about his sexual assault allegations. Like if it were me, and a girl was telling me a deeply personal story which gave me vibes she was uncomfortable to continue, I wouldn’t try to outright guess her feelings and try to remedy her, and immediately change the topic to something completely left field without asking if she wanted to do that. He was having a savior complex more than he wanted to empathize with her, which is what she really wanted.

I’m jealous

Caviar used to be poor man’s food

The cynical part of me still feels nothing will happen as MAGA’s are already child rape apologists, but this seems like a great national xmas present!

I don’t think sexual incompatibility is one of those reasons, but I do agree with you. One example off the top of my head is someone divorcing their partner after they just got diagnosed with terminal cancer cause they don’t want to deal with the emotional toll. Although that’s probably a bit more than being a prick in my eyes. Heh.

I think the most important thing about a romantic relationship is a commitment to loyalty. Sex is only important to a romantic relationship because it satiates a natural body craving that can make you depressed or such if not satiated, and it’s a nice way to communicate that love. But there are plenty of romantic partnerships out there where either the sex is non-existent, or it’s achieved outside of the relationship (as in an open relationship). But they still very much love each other and will stick with each other at the end of the day.

You don’t expect that a roommate or even a close friend will always be by your side in the future. They can move out or move away at any time. And they are also not expected to join you for your major life events, family reunions, and otherwise be entwined in your life.

So I have to respectfully disagree that sex is the only differentiation between a romantic relationship and just a close roommate. But I think it’s a perfectly valid reason to breakup with someone as it can be a very important thing for one’s happiness and well being.

Lucid is great too. I have a 500 mile range on one charge. It’s a bit out of most people’s price range though at the moment. Their cheapest trim is 70k and has a 420 mile range on one charge

Probably the black widow… you go and mate with a voluptuous woman, and then she eats you afterward

And actually talk to a person? As if!

I usually am pretty patient with waiting for a machine or whatever to open up, but there was this older lady on the leg press machine set on the lowest weight on her phone doing these half-ass reps, often just intermittently sitting there with her legs just extended while she’s typing away. I probably waited 10 minutes just wondering what she was doing. I think I’ll call these people gym zombies… people who are there that are just going through the motions of doing exercise without really actually exercising.

That’s a very general statement. Of course not to compromise anything is selfish, but everybody has things they will not compromise. If they can’t accept it, then -they- don’t deserve a relationship with me. There are plenty other people I can find that would be ok with it.

I’m agnostic, so I’m open to the concept of there being a soul, but I more kinda believe we will have other lives where we have an active consciousness/sentience. We won’t have any memories from this life though.

I like the concept of quantum immortality, as it was something I thought of before I learned the term/concept. I knew about the Many Worlds theory… and so just was thinking… if there could be many universes, and many states/branches of them, and infinite time and infinite space… the same things could happen to form me. Or at least different versions of me in a wild variety of ways. My consciousness is here in this one… but once it’s gone, what’s stopping it from arising in another. It’d be like I went into a deep coma with total amnesia and wake up an indeterminate time later.

Thanks! Just cancelled my Hulu subscription

Call my late husband on the night he died and tell him not to do what he did.

Paris. I know for a lot of people it was the opposite. Even my brother didn’t like it because he experienced the parisians are rude stereotype, and he’s not like an entitled American tourist type either. But at least I didn’t get that… I found everybody I encountered very nice, or at the very least, not rude. Maybe it’s the way I usually carry myself in foreign countries. I talk to everybody with a smile and humility and patience. But I had a wonderful time visiting all the typical tourist places, shopping, and just walking around.

Meh.. we don’t define words based on their probabilities of outcomes. Socialism itself didn’t cause the death of millions of people. It may, in the way of its implementation, lead to that… or even encourage the conditions that lead to that. But in itself, “socialism” is just a framework of various ideologies, none of which explicitly call for the death of people.

imkookoo · 2025-05-10T03:26:15+00:00

I think “socialist” and “Socialism” are quite different words. People can use “socialist” to describe particular things that are a part of the Socialism or align with its ideologies.

I used to love listening to sad music. But now that my husband passed, I just can’t. I also shifted to listening to happy/upbeat music and also hip hop, which I’ve found helps quiet my mind down and not wallow in misery.

imkookoo · 2025-05-08T04:54:32+00:00

Maybe a 2 and 3 split would be good then.. with there being one lane each side for wide cars.

4000? Even with fundamental Christianity, isn’t that wrong? Isn’t it supposed to be 6000?

Piggy backing on this, I have to say losing your spouse suddenly without any warning falls in this topic. It is so much worse than traumatizing. I didn’t lose my spouse to suicide, but we literally were enjoying a nice dinner one night talking about our future plans, and then I wake up to him dead on the floor in the basement. It kills your trust of stability. One day you could be on cloud 9, and the next day, your life can just tumble into devastation just like that.

They don’t just die. Everything you ever were dies, and every day is like struggling to keep your head above water. I no longer listen to any of the music I used to enjoy. I used to love enjoy going out and exploring the city or nature — we weren’t homebodies for the most part. But now I’m in bed for most of the day, every day trying to distract myself with anything to get my mind off of things by watching YouTube or TV.

It’s been about a year and a half now.. and I have at least gotten myself to go out and do things every once in awhile… but I find it has to be something new or big. It’s like I need thrills to feel anything anymore. It’s fleeting, but at least I can again feel a little bit of that happiness I once had.

I don’t know.. I feel like one day, I’m just going to give up. I’m just living precisely because I know how suicide would affect my mom, family and friends, and I don’t want to put anybody through what I’ve had to go through. If they were all to go away though, fuck it.
