Republicans are typically the people against good public transportation or bike lanes on roads. Republicans tend to be the people who don’t travel outside the United States. Democrats tend to be in favor of these things and they are also the people who would be riding a bike around on vacation.
Imagine your typical red-neck conservative going to Europe on vacation. Hard to do? Now imagine them going on a bike tour. It’s fucking ridiculous.
The only advice that I can give is to force yourself to try. I’m a naturally introverted person but I pushed myself get outside my comfort zone again and again. When I asked my future wife out on a date, I didn’t think I could do it in person, so I asked her out over email. I figured she outside my league (and she was)… but I told myself “it’s better to ask and get a ‘no’ than never ask and always wonder.” Be ready for the pain of rejection, but force yourself to do it anyway.
However I don’t know you and the mountains you face. They are likely different from mine and require a different path. Good luck finding your path and getting to the second part of the comment.
I remember being lonely, emotionally starved, and deeply depressed and dreaming of having someone to share my life with. Now my wife is sleeping next to me with my kids in their bedrooms. In a moment I’ll put my phone down and roll over and snuggle in next to her and grab her boobs.
This is and has been better than I ever dreamed.
If what you’re talking about is military casualties, then it’s not unreasonable that a country cares more about their own than the enemy. But when civilian deaths are on the line too then it feels excessively narcissistic and selfish.
“Oh did we kill 300 school children?? … That’s not a big deal, but did you also hear that five us service members were killed? Let’s only focus on how sad it is for each service member!”
I hear you but I can’t relate to you. It says no one in the show. I actually like I don’t want to watch it. I’ve yet to find a show or book or anything where that’s not true. I don’t have to like the person in their entirety, but if there aren’t at least some aspects of them that I enjoy then fuck them. I’ll go spend my time doing something else.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I kind of agree with those statements. I just couldn’t get into breaking bad or better call. Saul and I gave each of them a number of episodes to get there. I think it doesn’t help but I don’t like the characters and that makes me not want to hang around and see what happens.
Try not to dwell in the “woe is me” narrative. Today’s younger generation has some challenges, but thinking “this is the worst any generation has ever had it by far” is total bullshit.
It’s all about empathy. If they lack empathy or kindness then fuck them. I don’t want them in my life and I prefer not to interact with them.
It’s an ego thing, he’ll hire a bunch of really expensive lawyers and drag it out as long as he can. This is what the rich do.
