The thing about old pre ai corpo slop is that you had to pay a human being to craft it, and it's actually hard to get a good artist to realllly full throatedly endorse the man.

Not a problem with this generated shit. You got yourself shill on tap

My partner and I are the same height and we can hug and put our necks together like swans.

Oooohhhh you, you got me with the ol' lemmy switch the change the thing around oh hoo hooody hoo

Speaking of, I actually found a partner who's exactly my height. Not that I would've ever said that was a requirement, but it is nice being in a relationship with someone you can just look straight in the eye without moving your head.

Yeah bike infrastructure has got a lot better here too. I live in a small town and don't even need a car, it's great.

The homeless programs could really use some more support though. We got plenty of fancy private condos and overpriced rentals going up, so I fear we got the bougie nimby type of lycra dudes

I guess I meant more like getting strong. I have a hard time keeping my bench stats up since I've got a whiny back and cardio is more my thing (endorphins).

Personally, I try not to focus on body fat because that feels more negative to me. Like I'd rather focus on feeling good and making gains than losing weight. Less guilt involved imho.

This makes me want to work out more. I'm basically wasting my T on baldness occessonally getting angry when I should be sad lol

Just reverse the meme and you're good

I mean I would've identified as a liberal once upon a time.

It got out before become conscious 🥹

Oh my God it's incredible

The focus on dunking and scoring points with your bodies on social. You get to feel vindicated without anything having to change. Actually messy positive change would be a lot more uncomfortable for some.

Yeah like they don't realize the thing we hate about Democrats is even more egregious in them

The difference being that an actual kindhearted, open-minded Democrat might actually change their mind.

My old girlfriend's dad and I got along well. He was a real independent guy. We played a lot of chess, I'll tell you what. When I was staying with him sometimes we'd wake up and play chess from sunup to sundown.

I'll also just stop and describe what's actually happening in the physical world right now, like say to myself "I'm standing in a parking lot under a tree" or "I'm washing dishes and listening to video game music" you can just keep adding context like "it's a bright day in summer of 2026 in City, Province in the northern hemisphere of the planet Earth."

I find it helps get me out of the tangle of my thought and back into my body in the world, which feels so much simpler than the mental world.

Today I learned! Sounds like the name for a high-tech spy novel or something >>

Diary, box breathing, a fetish in the form of a marble I talk to that i keep in my pocket when I really need it. Yes I know, but it works for me.

Sometimes I'll imagine the situation is like a movie or book, and then I try to act like I imagine a character is "supposed to" if everything is just unfolding in a cliche way. It can help put some distance and give me a kind of script to follow.

Who's the middle left one?

Yeah like how do you vote for voting rights before you even get them? 🔨

Yeah like is there an artificial flavour I can try? Also someone attached to the birth kit
