Volunteer work is great as you'll have something to keep you occupied if you're struggling to initiate a conversation, and also you'll have to talk to people just a bit to get some instruction or collaborate on the work. You'll start off on a good fit since people will like that you're helping out with their favourite cause, and they'll be naturally a bit curious about you and why you joined.

Maybe OP identifies with some kind of nihilism and doesn't like seeing it criticized in broad strokes?

It's so stupid because there's such a simple gotchya response. You think there are too many people for the resources we have, and some need to go one way or another? Then it makes sense to start with the people that use the most resources, right?

In fact we probably don't even need to get rid of that many - let's just off the 5000 or so richest people on the planet, expropriate their stuff, and that will free up far more fuel, land, water, energy, money, whatever than you could possibly hope to get from letting millions in the global south perish.

Oof, another major L for science.

You can't hurt me with this, and put in my mouth all the time.

Wow the only thing I've seen that comes remotely close to this is Ajit Pai with the fidget spinners seven years ago.

Pro tip for the libs: do not try to use the latest, hippest memes to paper over a gap in youth support that exists for material reasons.

This comm is just ten or fifteen people desperately trying to make each other laugh.

This is a really cool idea.

Now THIS is game theory.

Only listened once but the new one is absolutely killer.

Check out songs like Serpentine from her album Evolve. She's had anti-capitalist politics for a long time.

Take a load for free 😎

Left Behind is such a great trash watch though.

I like them, but a) I tend to ruin them if I'm ever carting them around (especially if they're paperbacks) and b) I've noticed that when I have a book on my phone, it's much easier to dip into it and read a few paragraphs in the in between moments when I would otherwise open social media or something. With a physical book it's much less likely I'll dig it out of my bag if I'm waiting for the bus for five minutes and my hands are full.

I know someone with a decade old Leaf and that thing is still going strong with more than 300k on it.

What about a partnered sleepy couch guy? I can offer commitment-free hugs until the end of the month.

They say to be careful about that because the trauma of a bad trip can induce psychosis, but psychedelic use overall (when adjusted for other drug use) is associated with similar or better general mental health compared to non-users, so I'm not too surprised honestly.

I don't do coke because it's a shitty drug for inflated egos, and has a deeply damaging supply chain.

I also consider myself a proud member of the cocaine left.
