  • Honestly, I think because it’s comfortable. Andrew Tate and the like say that there is nothing wrong with you and it’s society/women’s fault. It doesn’t challenge anything, not even the harmful standards for men (ex: High value = certain look/body, status, income, etc.). Dating has gotten harder for men. Women have a lot more options and choices, and I don’t just mean in which man to marry, but even if they will marry at all. That means men have to offer more than just being the provider, as many women also have to work. And I don’t think we set men up to be good partners. Providers? Sure. But to be caring, empathetic, loving and loved members of society? I don’t think so.

    I think women need to be taken out of the equation all together when it comes to the male lonilness epidemic because that seems to cause the spiral. If it was focused on how men could foster good relationships, in general, I think it would be better. Focus on how to join/find/form social clubs, make it okay to talk to the boys about how you’re feeling, make it okay for them to need help. A lot of articles seems to boil down to more men are single, but I think it should be more of why don’t men have friends? If men are single, that means there are single women out there as well, but they don’t inspire these posts because women are allowed to foster platonic, deep relationships and we kind of tell me you either get a spouse for that or you just have to deal with it.




  • Game of Thrones - I’m not good with seeing sexual violence and it felt like it was happening every five minutes.

    My Dress up Darling - I understand why people would like it, but I don’t understand why it was so huge. But I’m getting old.

    Beastars - my friend and I watched it in one day and it just didn’t do anything for us. I found most of the characters kind of a annoying.

    My Hero Academia - I mean this in the best way possible, but I could see myself loving this if I was a kid.

    Mushoku Tensi - I know people love this one. I watched the entire first season and I found the protagonist so revolting. I didn’t care that he was a cute kid now and gets better and what have you, I thought he was gross.

    Friends - I could never get it. I found it boring and unfunny.

    Stranger Things - I actually really enjoyed the first season, but I got tired of the kids as they got older. It felt like it was shifting into a teen drama and I found myself skipping through it before I let it go.

    YOU - Weird guy stalks a girl. Glad someone enjoys it, but I got tired of it real quick.









    • “Maladaptive Daydreaming”
    • I have an issue with being remembered in person (at least that’s what my therapist said). I will go to different chains of the same store on rotation, or stop going to a store all together if they remember me “too much.” I’ll wait until shift changes or that it’s been long enough that they’ve forgotten about me. I’ve stopped going to certain places all together if there’s no alternatives. Outside of lemmy, I have no social media. I don’t want anyone to ever be able to look me up. Apparently people don’t do that.
    • Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).
    • Wondering what people were thinking/picturing when they bought their clothes (not in a “wow, that’s ugly, what were they thinking” but what they saw themselves as. Did they see this suit and think of themselves as a ceo? Did she buy thay dress and imagine the places she’ll wear it? That sort of thing).
    • Having multiple paths to one place. I could get to my classes or office multiple ways. I would rotate, take these stairs one day, this elevator the next, etc.
    • I believed everyone had some kind of food that would give them the boo-boos. I’m actually just lactose intolerant.




  • I used to be able to tell if a TV was on or not. I can’t really explain it, but it was like I could vaguely hear/feel it? I don’t know, I was a kid. My grandma would play her games without sound sometimes so she wouldn’t wake people up (and probably to play without a kid hanging off of her), but I evolved to counter it. 😂


  • I don’t regret any scars. But I have two tattoos I wish I didn’t have and one I wish was a little different. I’m black, and most artists that aren’t black themselves do not work with black skin. So some of my earlier stuff is “bad” because of that . However, I rarely expose my limbs so I forget about them a lot. At the end of the day, I just don’t fancy them, but I’m grateful they’re not something truly horrendous or offensive.

    Edit: I regret getting a second ear piercing, but that’s because it caused a keloid. I was relieved that it was about the size of a pimple and never risked it again.
