  • I know what you mean with the parents providing transportation to everywhere! I was in a similar situation when I moved out. I was often too anxious to enter a store on my own because I had never had to do that alone (or really been given the opportunity to do that alone).

    What helped me was finding a nice coffee shop near my place. They had delicious matcha lattes and I made a tradition of walking there on weekends. Then I realized that I could stop at a scenic park on the way back home. Then I realized that I liked walking around. Then I realized that there are cats outside and I can pet them! And at some point I also got really into pokemon go. It was a compounding series of small realizations that I could just go out and do things.

    Disclaimer: I’m not from the USA and I am white, so that affects my experiences of this.

    Side note: I’ve made a map of the locations at which I have encountered cats, making note of how many were there and if they were friendly or not. It gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.

    It’s in Human Nature to be violent, which I why I’ve made sure to arm my kindergarten class with knives. Because otherwise I would not be accounting for Human Nature.

    (note: this is sarcastic, I did not arm a kindergarten class with knives)




  • I must generate a qr code. I search for sites to do this. The first result lets me do this but requires an email to download the thing. The second result lets me do this but requires an email to download the thing. The third result lets me do this but requires an email to download the thing. Each of them display the generated qr code on screen but then refuse to let me download it. Technology sure is amazing.

    When I see people complaining about losing their hair to male pattern baldness I’m thinking “just take finasteride” or “why don’t you just take finasteride” or “just block the DHT this isn’t some inevitable thing and that’d probably help so why don’t you just do that?” But I’m not a testosterone enjoyer so I lack their perspective on things
