@chill0123451 @DaiHorseman @ResoluteCactus@pysl02@esjesjesj A “pipe dream” that certain countries seem to be fulfilling to a much greater degree than others somehow. Hell, even here in Canada, a very capitalist country, we still manage at least basic healthcare making it so folks won’t be financially ruined over a broken leg or w/e
@chill0123451 @DaiHorseman @ResoluteCactus@pysl02@esjesjesj And the people currently working full time at essential jobs while still being below the poverty line much somehow aren’t getting fucked over? We all support each other, and our unique contributions amount to more than their sum. That’s always been the strength of society.
@dagny108899389 @BeesBytes22 @AlwaysKnocking@jemelehill So these places should only be open after 4? And do you honestly think a restaurant can get by purely run by teenagers?
@broncoslyfer@elbirdleaf@yonsofficial Hell even him switching his shit up on its own, alright
But him going off about how hip hop is apparently just some shallow genre that doesn’t allow him to express his full artistry or whatever… fuck that. Shows he never had a proper appreciation for the genre that made him big
@lindaniellaart That doesn’t mean all the black artists making that art aren’t being genuine and trying to convey messages they find important though. And even if so, why should the blame be on black artists seeking an income instead of the audience who create the situation to begin with
@lindaniellaart There’s definitely a strong point about how shitty it is that black art always has to focus on aspects of racism and suffering to sell and see mainstream success, owing to the (mostly yt) audience’s narrow and fetishistic conception of black culture.
@CatGrieves big fan of your selections on #Extraordinary, am absolutely dying to know the background song appearing about 16 minutes into the last episode tho! Sounds kind of like Cheryl Lynn’s Got To Be Real?
@DenitaBenyshek @ButNotTheCity Yup. Women have become more free from their need for a relationship, while mens need (ego and status) largely remains. There’s just as many single women as men, women are just happier about it as masculinity has yet to catch up to modern relationships.
@BigBrother1988 @ButNotTheCity @rlisakowitz Important to remember that threads like this are filled with generalizations. Don’t take it personally; you ain’t the one being discussed.
Like others said, therapy will help a lot. But it’s not just about being more successful, it’s being happier without relying on success
@CathDG @SirGobbersworth @ButNotTheCity Nah even then. I’m also boring to most folks, I’m a broke ass warehouse worker, and I’m pretty much the opposite of the idealized masculine aesthetic. Still no shortage of dates if I put the time in.
They just got outrageously high standards for looks and ignore everyone else
@WAFCRob@61harpy @ButNotTheCity I think it’s just an unfortunate side effect of Twitter, folks don’t got the space to qualify everything with “in general… tends to… on average…”
Can definitely suck tho, even knowing that it’s hard not to interpret some tweets as “if you’re single it’s cause you’re shitty”
@Lili_is_Vili @mo0onmouse @MacPeters_art @ButNotTheCity Ain’t saying there’s no truth there at all but that’s far from a solid rule. If I followed it I literally wouldn’t have had a single friend since high school.
@motherofbattles@MimsRandolph @MacPeters_art @Lili_is_Vili @ButNotTheCity I mean shit happens lol. The shit I happen to enjoy and have formed my social circles around (local hip hop) is pretty heavily male dominated.
It’s good general advice but peoples lives take on all kinds of forms.
@jokesarepuny@alisakterry @seantcronin @ButNotTheCity @lisaquestions This is exactly it in my experience. Masculinity hasn’t experienced that same kind of evolution as femininity has, and it’s left lots of men ill-equipped for this new era of relationships based more on filling wants than needs.
I'm trying to give @Abzybabzy and the rest of the Raised By Wolves team a boost. This incredible show needs a new home!
