Student then proceeds to fuck his teacher to skip class and fuck the doctor to get drugs. Gets on so many drugs he even hears his cat talk.

I'm poor, living in a 3rd world country, with no money for air conditioning. What the fuck am I supposed to do.

Guess I'll just have to enjoy (lol, like I can) the few years I have left.

Last year in Brazil a rich right wing white man opened fire on the federal police and even threw grenades at them.

Here's a picture of him talking to the police after the shooting (he's the old guy on the left): https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2022/10/ED_VIS_241022_IL_PF_JEFFERSON_frame_935.jpeg?w=876&h=484&crop=1

I wonder what would have happened to him if he was a poor black man.

It's sad that the only two alternatives that you can think of are killing people or "letting them get away without anything".

It's winter where I live. Temperature should be around 10ºC but some places registered 30ºC. And this week we'll have our 4th hurricane of 2023. My house is old and I fear soon I'll wake up without a roof.

My anxiety is so bad today. I keep trying to find new ways to deal with it, meds, meditation, exercise, but how the fuck am I supposed to keep up?

 

I know data privacy is important and I know that big corporations like Meta became powerful enough to even manipulate elections using our data.

But, when I talk to people in general, most seem to not worry because they "have nothing to hide", and most are only worried about their passwords, banking apps and not much else.

So, why should people worry about data privacy even if they have "nothing to hide"?

Kid was completely broken, he needed care for his mental health, not jail. I understand it's not always available though.

Then you think you made eye contact with the waiter, so you call him, but he wasn't actually looking at you.

Yo man, I think I have PTSD as well, from all the shit me and my wife have been through. You're not alone in this shit, our society is a people grinding machine. We need to be strong and enjoy the little good things everyday. Wish you the best.

While I agree that we have a duty to avoid unethical brands whenever possible, there's just no way to escape them all. I live in a poor country and I there's a lot of "bad stuff" I have to buy just because it's what I can affford at the moment.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

 

Hello!

I'm a 30 year old male living with my wife on a 3rd world country. We have no help from our families and we've been through some very difficult times, but we managed to get by. My wife had a severe case of depression and even tried to take her own life at a point.

Now things got a little better, even though we are in a tight financial situation. We both feel a lot better and we even managed to get off our meds (it's nice to be able to save the money and get rid of the side-effects).

But, there is something weird that came as a consequence of all those bad times. Whenever I receive a text message from my wife, my heart races and my anxiety goes through the roof. It's an irrational fear that the message will be bad news.

I don't really know if there is such a thing as "text phobia", but that's how it feels (english is not my main language, so it's kinda hard to explain). I alread mentioned this to my wife and I think it made her feel bad because she thinks it's her fault. Of course I said it's not her fault, but now I'm kinda afraid to bring this up again with her. We both are trying so hard to be strong for each other.

I wonder if anyone else had a similar problem and I would be very grateful if someone could give me some tips on how to work on this problem.

Thanks a lot and I hope you have a great day.
