Tbh I think they really only slowed down because it was the absolute dead of winter.

Glad I’m not alone, but also sad

I keep it together because a lot of young people are around me. But on the inside I’ve kind of given up on anything good and dread the next fucking crazy thing to come up.

Anecdotally, last week I (middle aged lady) was approached by two strange men. One tried to grab me outside my work site, and one told me how lovely I was and asked for my number (in target). It’s much, much worse for young women. It’s not manufactured, unlike the doubt of women’s lived experience seems to be.

It’s more of a “haven’t experimented” with the alternatives yet rather than them not being good. Mainly a time issue for me.

I do a lot of data entry stuff and have some custom sheets and graphs I’ve made for individuals over the years. Time, mainly.

I really like libreoffice honestly. In my job I have to use docs but I find myself copying from libre office most of the time. Prior to that, I used to create all my visuals with office and do my graphs in excel. So I’ve tried a few different ways to do things. Libre reminds me of old school products and I kind of like that. Plus it does what I want with shapes. Which is nice when I need to make visuals. I still use excel though, for now.

Family annihilators do not always make the national news but it happens a sickening amount. Typically a male spouse.

Coworker of mine was shot through her apartment floor (accidental discharge). She almost died.

Grad school wreeeecked my finances. I went into it knowing that if it didn’t pass my boards I’d be ruined. And in the US all that takes is one medical issue practically. I just paid everything off at 38. Still renting 🥲

Yeah good point. I’m interested to see how it will work out, and whether it will become less convenient to have a whole gaming setup anymore.

I might get brave and try it on this older machine. I’m not super savvy. I can put Legos together…like a good millennial, but that’s about it. One foot at a time etc.

It’s time for me to build a new gaming pc. With the current cost and this…(keeping in mind I’m no computerologist) I may just get the Steam Machine.

Pregnancy is dangerous… If I was a pregnant woman, I wouldn’t even travel through these states. They will literally let you die.

I stop doing my hobby thing while I’m still having fun. Which keeps me motivated. Also. I’m shit at it, so no risk of monetizing.

This is such an insightful comment and it nails a couple points.

It can be so hard to simply enjoy the moment, especially when there is so much pressure to be productive. Comparison really is the thief of joy.

No, I got your point. But it shouldn’t be considered a discussion worth having either religious or humanist. Overall I agreed with it, just not the example.

I’m going to have to disagree that personal, physical autonomy is a valid discussion up for debate in the public sphere.

The only discussion should be between the person carrying the fetus who bears all the risk and responsibility and their medical professional.

The fact that it is even considered valid to be debated shows just how much propaganda works.

Depends on the gym. There is boldering (no rope) you do that completely solo. Some gyms also have auto-belay which is with a rope rope but you don’t need a buddy. A lot of gyms have meet-up groups. It is a full body workout so I recommend giving it a try on a day you don’t have much planned the next day, that’s all. I did most of my climbing solo to be honest.

It’s pretty easy to get started if you have a gym nearby and a little disposable income. They pretty much teach you everything and you can rent gear for a day. Over 30, you’re gonna want to take the next day off.
