anyone who wants to be the guy on the right needs to understand the guy on the left is keeping your toys from becoming cheap garbage that suck to play with
@norabird Every man’s dream is to shoot a video of their wife that is a dead wife montage so their wife gets killed by a shady underground organization and they go on a revenge spree of wanton bloodlust because ultimately men don’t want things, they want to be mad about not having them 🫡
posting anime about an egyptian pharaoh drawn by a vocal detractor of the iraq war to justify bombing the middle east. i thought you needed a visa for tourism these days
Woman on tiktok reported how she and her husband got root canals on the same day, same doc. He got percoset, she got ibuprofen. Dentist said, "women handle pain better." Comment section filled with women reporting similar experiences. You will never convince me that patriarchy & gender inequality isn't to blame for this cruelty. Underneath the "women can handle pain better" line is "women are supposed to suffer."
how to make friends in a new city:
> say yes to everything for the first 3 months
> ask locals what they like to do in the area - you can follow their recs for inspiration
> when you vibe with someone, ask to hang. don't wait for them to initiate!!
> try multiple communities & events to see what resonates - don't commit to just one
> try to meet one new person at every event you go to
> you can be direct & open - "I just moved here & want to meet more people, want to grab coffee?"
> be specific about meeting up *at a specific day/time* not just some distant point in the future
> don't take rejection personally - people may be busy or have different schedules
> know that some amount of homesickness is normal - that doesn't mean you made the wrong decision
> stay in touch with your community from home so you don't feel so alone
> once you meet a few people, host small gatherings (even 4 people for dinner) - fastest way to build a friend group
> you never know if *someone* will introduce you to *someone* who becomes your new best friend. the power of network effects is real!!
> iterate over time - keep meeting new people, trying new things & have fun with it!
> give it TIME - it takes time to find your rhythm
NOW you can make friends wherever you go!!
just be intentional about finding them!!
your people are waiting to meet you!!!
you got this!!!
