College students that think they’re being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying

This. The specific problem my alma mater ran into was all the conservative students saying they were getting bullied, and when asked how they were bullied, the response was basically “People disagreed with me and now they don’t want to hang out with me!”

Sometimes I wonder if they’d actually been bullied, if their tune would’ve been different…

FYI the bottom link is broken (but it’s easy enough to get there, lol)

Yeah, I feel like it’s heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

• I’m trying to think of how to quantify a “Have 0 debt” option but like, post mortgage or something.
• Establish a friend group
• Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
• Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
• See a historical human-made artifact in person
• See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
• Visit your country’s capital
• Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends

Do you have any recommendations for a beginners guide?

The convenient thing about the LGBTQ+ community though is that we can pop up anywhere, at any time. The perpetual boogieman.

I don’t think you understand what rural means. There were people who had to travel 1 hr+ by car to get to the local grocery store where I came from. An ebike isn’t appropriate for places where you may need to travel 60+ miles, and/or in snow or bad conditions that might persist for weeks, and/or in ungodly hot / humid conditions that also persist for weeks. All three of those are true for decent swaths of the year in my area.

Ubuntu was always the answer I gave, but it feels like they’ve fallen out of favor with the whole snap debacle.

Yeah…this is going to be a super unpopular opinion, but there needs to be a designated distro for new users who aren’t sure what to go with. If someone asks “What distro should I-” the rest doesn’t matter. We just agree on one distro and that’s it. Once they have a reason to look for another distro, they’ll have the knowledge to find it themselves.

You have to make the first step easy.

C: Am I a joke to you?

It feels disingenuous at best to lump in people making $60k/year with Jeff Bezos and other billionaires. Just twelve billionaires account for 2,100,000 homes worth of emissions, and that’s only the raw output of their travel and other direct expenses: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/twelve-billionaires-climate-emissions-jeff-bezos-bill-gates-elon-musk-carbon-divide

Yes, we can all do our bit to help out, but workers pointing fingers at other workers will only ever benefit the ruling class.

They’re literally cockroaches. Even Wikipedia agrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_woods_cockroach Fuck that hotel, lol

Yeah, that’s fair. FWIW it’s still uncommon enough that “Eh it happens” isn’t reasonable.

Living in a red state, I would? It’s not every year that an elected official gets whacked, even one that’s a member of a hated minority. For reference, there’s been 57 assassinated government officials in the US total: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_American_politicians

Saying “Eh this is just par for the course all countries are like this” feels like it minimalizes the problem.

Another article specified that they were literally found stabbed to death. How the fuck is there not foul play involved? Sounds like the AG is in on it or at least permissive of anti-LGBTQ+ violence.

I stopped using Dr Squach when I found out their toothpaste omits Flouride for REasOnS.

Ugh, gross. Thanks for the heads up. That’s a shame.

I have something called Dr. Squatch’s Wood Barrel Bourbon. It’s a bit strong for my taste but it smells nice and controls the sweating better than Old Spice Mysterious Ocean Bits (which also smelled good).

FWIW I see you. :( Good luck with them.

Show me someone saying “This is fine”, and I’ll show you someone who has the privilege to not fear whether they’re going to be blocked out of society for the crime of…existing. This is only the first step to “All businesses, including businesses required for life, can discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals”. Y’all are unhinged.
