Yes and I wonder how much it even helps to have such a man as a lawyer. I don't think repeating the same denial over and over without evidence actually helps their case in court.
I agree! I don't get, actually, why people get to 18 and suddenly feel the pressure of "i need to have someone attached to my arm at all times!" I think there's enough pressure with regards to finding jobs, passing university, and getting a stable income at that time. (All things which I've so far failed to do, lol)
It's one of those things which separates modern minded people and "old souls".
True. The exception is maybe when world leaders say something, but you can never really be sure someone hasn't artificially roused all their followers to "ratio" them
I was doing an online course on the precise, forgotten rules of English grammar, punctuation and writing style. One of the final exercises was "take any extract you want and rewrite it in a more concise and direct way that conveys all the original meaning minus the decorative and unnecessary language."
So I went to get a random newspaper article, which would be more challenging than just a book. This one about the Tate brothers' arrest caught my eye. And what was so notable about it was that, stripped to it's barest and most essential information, it's hilariously clear how guilty they are - even when the article itself is politely dancing around that and full of the lawyers' denial of their guilt.
I did know they were guilty beforehand, but working with the data helped me to consolidate that understanding, and also opens one's eyes to how extensive their crimes were.
Would recommend this exercise to anyone who doubts the Tate Brothers' guilt, if only there was any way of me contacting such people.
I really don't like ratio squarkers. As in: the first person to bring up ratios in a twitter thread. Having to read that childish crap is hard, to be honest.
This is unsolicited advice so feel free to ignore, especially if it sounds "twee."
::: spoiler What i think helps is:
having a positive mindset, because it's almost like people can sense when you are yearning to get into a relationship
in the same vein, treat potential mates as potential good friends. Your first few meetings with them is like their "informal interviews for being a friend." You can invite them on a date (or just to do something together as friends)^1^ which is the final interview, which lets them get the higher position in your social circle.
I don't say that to complicate what should already be simple; firstly, it's getting not simple in this day age, because people don't know what to do with all the dating apps and SM. Secondly, the message is just create a more relaxed low pressure atmosphere for them
to revisit the first point - this is just something many people say, and i have experienced in my own life: stop seeking a partner and one will stumble into your life. This might be why people already committed relationships get a lot of attention; they seem self satisfied.
I also just want to say that more people are in your position than you think ❤️. Zoomed are the most sexless and relationship generation, after all.

I am in that stage. I don't know how or when I put on weight (and before I went on holiday I swore I was at normal weight again) but I'm taking this as a learning experience.
the terrifying thing is that now on first dates people like straight up lead with how hypocritical and abusive they are and think there is nothing wrong with it, because the internet told them it was good to be that way.
Do you have examples of this? It sounds interesting but I don't totally get what you're talking about yet
Dating apps make me SICK. They should be wiped out. All of us who oppose them should form our own microstate; we're anti AI, anti dating apps, I'm sure there's a lot more common ground than that.
Even though i don't think I believe in "soulmates" I'm scared that the suitors best suited for me are going to never meet me because women my age seem afraid of relationships that aren't struck up via dating app.
Someone showed interest in me then gave me the cold shoulder because apparently not having social media means I'm not "on the dating market"? I'm worried it will happen again ad infinitum, basically.
I usually get told to slow down, didn't realise at first that there was any societal expectation not to just show as much passion as you're feeling. I guess it stems from women wanting their male mates to demonstrate an ability to have self control, as that's desirable in a mate and men tend more to rush towards physical things - and the same also applies for gay couples, i'm sure.
Oh my, I actually thought people got less picky when they went longer without getting married. Mixed messages I suppose.
i’m in my late 20s living with family, and nobody really wants to date me already
There'll be more people in the same situation soon, if that's any consolation. I'm living with my family during uni and might even be stuck here for a while afterwards.
Also in the mean time, this channel (Dr Rowe) has guides to relieving various nerve and muscle pains, and it seems to be effective for a lot of people who are being let down by doctors. Have a scroll through his channel and see if your area of pain comes up.
Yeah I would go for that and get it on the dark web if you can actually source it there. NHS sounds like it has been massively unhelpful to you and like they want to make you live on benefits or something.
Though some things to consider:
are you actually going to be able to receive deliveries of it long-term? The post office is probably quite good at detecting when medicine is in a package and then the state is probably very tough on denying any alternative medicine sourcing.
Is it addictive in any way? Have you got the ideal dosage worked out?
Once you've got an answer to those questions, go for it.
I have been told that in tropical places there is an abundance of food, so over there is ideal, but there's also mosquitos and disease and it's not an environment i'm familiar with.
Probably somewhere really remote but near to human settlement - easier to get casual work, hopefully?? Because less available workforce?
The sensible answer is probably "somewhere with good social safety net' like The Neterpherlands or Sweden.
And if we think "wilderness survival" situation, the only answer for me would be somewhere temperate or sub arctic because those are the environments i'm familiar with; europe woukd be nice, but is there anywhere truly remote there?
HAHAHA

Yes it's -_-
I personally don't mind that. I must be a really pro-small talk person. Or socially deprived already.

Actively engage at first, butt out if i seem annoying.

Thanks Christ.
He's so scummy and evilthat it's shocking that he actually exists - or at least, that he exists under the conditions that he does, as a labour MP
