I agree. Male and female have skills that are different. And just like women men can be good or bad. If we want equality we have to consider we do t get that via shame, condescension or derogative statements.

The memes cute but pedro is one of many good men.

Are we only allowed happy answers in these posts?

Feel free to add as many red faces as you want. I often feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to be angry at crap. Like I’m supposed to be above it as an adult.

That pissed me off now

I get tiny little bouts of rage over stupid stuff

Hope it goes away by then

Au?

Used up some crochet squares, to make a bag. Will gift it for someone’s birthday. Also order more yarn for another project. Reminded myself I am my own worst enemy.

Education and learning are two different things. School tests are to repeat back what has been educated to you. Meaningful learning tends to be internally motivated and AI is unlikely to fulfill that aspect.

Are these families being named?

It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!

You arnt old. And I also feel the same as you. I am becoming anti consumer. I hope as a last chance Gen x get to go out in a blaze. I am becoming more activist. We have been fighters all our lives. Time to use it for good.

If I had a magic internet/media button I know what it would be.

It would be a brand banish button. If I see an ad, I wanna just have a button to banish them from all my devices…forever. I already have a rule you poss me off with adverts …I defo won’t buy.

So much tech potential that just does not exist!

Did they perk up?

I have been busy but I bought my teenager a vintage sewing pattern. And we are working through it together. Just planning how much fabric. I also did some walks and some eating.

I know. It’s like some people are scared of interacting with real humans so they watch it instead.

Yup the hype around monetisation is a scourge. It makes you me question so much of what I see, do. I hate being so suspicious. I feel like even simple life transactions are up for sale ‘see this one cleaning hack to change your life’ … idiot on a video wanders around with a duster like it’s a new invention. Even idiots filming every bite of an average sandwich. I sound old.

The same McDonalds that hosted the orange turdbag at the drive through. They ain’t getting my money and haven’t since. The rich orgs clearly feel bold enough to brag about

How much money they make from you and;

They enable a facist administration, and;

They will use the money made from you to lobby and ensure employees get little respect or wage and;

They have made your product smaller, crappier, and more expensive.

Listen to them when they brag and stop giving them money so so this.

For me it’s in the conversations I have. Making them calm discussions with others about their goals helping them come to conclusions about the consequence (more to those they love than themselves) and trying to bring them back down to their real wants rather than what the media has them riled up about. Most people have benefitted from progressive movements they just forget how much.

Nostalgia, and frustration at avenues to personally moving forward seem to be a hurdle for some people. I am older, I have benefitted for the world of tech and science. I really feel for our younger gens. They can’t afford to live, homes are out of reach, job security and respect is sliding. This puts relationships, families and self worth at risk. I can see how radical ideas take root.

So you think the 40% is all made up of conservatism or could it be disillusion with what the parties are offering?

Is it really support of conservative? Even labelling it as support of far right when people are frustrated and choosing to protest vote can have a tone of condescension which can do more harm than good.

I am as annoyed as everyone else about the orange turdbag but ignoring root causes (in any country) is gonna eventually take a toll.
