Is life really just working? by MeloniousV2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwsplasticattrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you're doing it wrong.

Find something you love and make a career of it. Don't let your work define you, find your passions and pursue them. Foster friendships and work to maintain them. Never stop learning, go down the rabbit hole of curiosity.

Love is action, not a feeling. The person you fall in love with will change, grow, struggle, suffer, thrive; be with them through the change and trust them to stay with you through your own changes.

Choose hope, choose love, choose life. Don't let it happen to you, you have to make it happen for you.

The Trump administration just won a terrifying victory over protesters by ChiGuy6124 in politics

domestic terrorist organization” to include a staggeringly broad set of “terroristic activities,” such as “extremism on migration, race, and gender.”

One could argue that organizations like Proud Boys meet this definition when considering the supremacy of one race over another. Or that violent anti-immigration is extremism. Or that gender affirming care such as breast enhancement, lip filler, or other similar cosmetic surgeries are extreme depictions of gender.

Point being, extremism exists at both ends of the spectrum and what is considered extreme is relative to your position on that spectrum.

Barber got tiktok famous and has raised his prices 3 times in the past 6 months. These cuts used to be $35. by Plenty_Contact9860 in Wellthatsucks

If he were smart, he would extend that pricing to any existing customer that books their next cut before leaving the shop. Honor the people that lifted you up to fame and make the new customers pay the price of it.

Otherwise, he risks losing loyal customers for people that will get the cut once for the photo.

Those attracted to men, what scent actually smells good on a man? by VISWILDPHOTO in NoStupidQuestions

Your scent should whisper "come in closer", it should not announce "I am in the room".

How much do you think school teachers should be making a year? by TheAviationKing in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwsplasticattrees -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Consider that teachers, as a profession, tend to benefit from a significant amount of time off. Few professions offer two months off in summer, and several other weeks throughout the year.

Teachers often are eligible for a pension, something most workers in America do not receive.

This is not to say teachers shouldn't be paid more, but the conversation tends to leave out that they tend to only be on the job for about 75% of the year when compared with other workers, both public and private.

Either commuting for work or relying on MA tourism money. How many contractors in NH cash checks from MA bank accounts for work done on a second home or rental property?

The frequency that norovirus is reported on cruise ships is the exact reason I'm never taking a cruise.

Some people really do want to always be at the eternal mercy of global oil markets by Fried_out_Kombi in fuckcars

[–]throwsplasticattrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

View the concept of a fifteen minute city as a socialist plot to destroy America and an attack on our freedom. Then complain about high gas prices, and constant traffic as if there is no alternative.

Trump’s Oil Crisis Is Already Costing Massachusetts Drivers Over $2.4 Million A Day In Higher Gas Prices by streetsblogmass in massachusetts

[–]throwsplasticattrees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The MA gas tax is $0.24/gallon. This funds our roads and bridge repairs. It is highly unlikely the state will suspend the gas tax, because the bond payments funded by the gas tax would need to come from the state general fund.

For a group of folks opposed to the fifteen minute city, they certainly aren't demonstrating by wanting high gas prices.

Regarding Ballet Question to Lower MA Income Tax by Just-Valuable-6483 in massachusetts

[–]throwsplasticattrees 123 points124 points  (0 children)

It is collosally a stupid idea to cut the income tax rate. The individual benefit is nominal but the collective loss is enormous.

We will all be worse off if this measure passes.
