Care to expand on why?

Edit: I remembered what Planet Amazonia was like 3.5 seconds after making this comment, but now I feel weird deleting it.

I considered going to the Wizarding World too, but what if I end up a Muggle? Also, I’m 34 I can’t exactly enroll in Hogwarts at this point.

I live in rural America and can’t say I have the same experience as you do. I (34F) dress like a “bum” 99% of the time (T-Shirts, jeans/leggings, hair thrown in a bun) and thats how most of my busy friends dress too when they are not at work. However I do think if you live in a city or just a more populated area that its realistic to think you may end up on camera at any point during the day, and you want to look good for that, so you could feel compelled to try and always look your best.

Every once in a while, I do get full glam to go to the local grocery store because I really don’t go anywhere else, and I want a reason to “dress up” and I can imagine that there’s a lot of that going on too.

Thats actually a very wild concept to me because things would already be so different but also SO similar. Like all your friends and family would be the same but now some of them have shown you they’re Nazi sympathizers. Also whats it like in 20 years? It would be 2 completely different realities but on the same timeline.

I am very interested in this episode of Black Mirror.

I would take a risk and choose something crazy like The Walking Dead or Fallout. I’m trying to live out my Billy Badass dreams and if I die so be it.

This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.

LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a camper, a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit-in kitchen, laundry room, all that jazz.

SAME

You described exactly why I am so thankful to never have experienced apartment life and pray I never will. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely been in worse places than a shitty apartment, like homeless or living with my mom, but at least I still get to say I never had to share a space with strangers that can hear me getting it on. Now I live in a single-wide trailer, my rent is only $450 a month ( I make $25/h working from home, so rent to income is insanely low) and I have 3 bedrooms, fenced-in front and back yards, a dedicated laundry room, and I can’t even see my closest neighbor’s house.

Funny how one persons nightmare could be another persons dream. People use “ending up” in a trailer as a warning, and I literally could not imagine a better place to live.

Damn I am having the exact oppisite experice. I hate dealing with the public and everything that comes with working outside of the house, but all the work from home jobs have been scooped up and its been impossible to find a decent one since COVID. Its extremely annoying to me because I don’t want to go back to retail and feel like I am not being given a choice.

No and I hate that its expected and I hate when people do it to me. I price my items at what I want for them, I am not playing head games where I price them above what I actually want so you can feel like you’re winning when you haggle me down, thats what everyone else in the resale space does and I find it stupid and manipulative. Just pay what it cost or find something cheaper, price what you want to get for it and stop pricing way above asking so you can have “wiggle room” to negotiate and make people feel like they are getting a good deal. Its like playing a game, when all I want is to exchange money for goods.

That does sound annoying.

Omg I can relate. I rolled my ankle once and it was hurting for months and months, turns out I had a hairline break that never healed correctly; now my ankle is permanently slightly crooked.

I want to criticize him for his blue suit at a funeral so bad, but then I get Obama “tan suit” vibes from myself and gotta reel it back. It just feels so intentional, like he just HAD to stick out and make sure everyone knew where he was seated. Only one in blue in a sea of black, yuck.

It’s time to start preparing the attics. People are going to have to start hiding.

It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.

I would bet $10,000 that you get a notification saying “we’ve reviewed your appeal and decided the ban will stay in place”

You pay less taxes, its easier to get a loan (if you both have good credit), you automatically have all the rights to know about their health in an emergency situation, whereas a girlfriend/boyfriend needs to go through extra steps, some of which are impossible in an emergency. Some people also view marriage as a very religious thing and so that part of it is a big deal to them.

It’s always a bad idea to move in with your partner’s parents if you don’t absolutely have to. I think teens and early 20’s is too young to move in with a partner period but I also met my husband when I was 17 and moved in with him almost right away and thats been working for the last 18 years. I still think we’re the exception to the rule though and it’s not exactly a healthy way to start your adult life.

Times are going to get very hard for gay people soon. If history keeps rhyming the way it is, gay people have a tough road coming up and we need to be prepared for it.
