Which is ironic cos no bonding gets done in that case

/> greentext about trying to woo a woman again

That's what makes the world go round.

I've never met a "femcel" - as in a woman with poor social skills who stays inside and games a lot, perhaps lacking optimism about their romantic prospects and overall destiny - in my life so the whole concept did strike me as weird. Seeing the "femcel" subreddits, twitter pages and Instagram pages, all it reminded me of were the toxic girls from my hometown who essentially scared off new prospects by being so rude to them and CLEARLY chose their lifestyle very early on.

I therefore think femcel is a misnomer. I think generally women aren't getting hung up on men in an incel-ly way - the ones that do skip straight to stalker serial killer lady - I think women are good at socialising and always have some sort of support system.

I guess it must be a talking point that the CCP or it's supporters use to justify their activity in tibet - "we're just spreading technology. You don't want us to be there? Then you must be luddite regressives who HATE the Tibetans"

I can't tell if it's genocide denialism but that tweeter is obviously being damn rude to a whole continent of people

Kids be messing with the buttons

Right? I would consider reporting, i.e putting a bit of yourself and putting your real opinions/demeanour into the role, to be a real job - but what these people do is just act as mouthpieces for the regime. Everything from their appearance too, to what they say, to how they say it (above tweet is a great example) is suppose to re-inforce the beliefs of our regime. Regime is the right word, btw - it simply means organised power.

They would know all about lazy spoiled kids i'm sure

"Statisticians are the dentists of mathematics" like, they do a very specialised job that a generalist would struggle to perform correctly without their level of specialised training, where performing their duties inadequately or forgoiing their services can completely disrupt the function of various area of life/business?

Why would cities care about national or international companies? I’m confused.

[This is OP on a different account + device] Good question, I didn't make it clear. So what I was thinking is, where I live,

  1. The city council has large control over the economy, choosing where businesses can put up their store and monitoring which businesses take up office space in the city.

  2. There's definitely some MLM presence (my local subreddit provided examples and often has people saying "don't work for this scam!")

  3. So... Does the city council just not care? Or are they perhaps less interventionist than I thought?

  4. Lastly, with just how many there are, from the vibe I'm getting from people online complaining about them, surely some of them end up doing business for the city council. So the council ends up getting ripped off or having jobs done to a poor standard.


Thanks for your comment!

 

had a job interview. 2 large group exercises to assess team dynamics, then I interviewed for 2 different roles. Everyone there was nice, but:

  1. can't stop feeling bad for the one interview that i definitely floundered. The first one seemed to go well but given how much i tripped over my words for the second one, it makes me think the first one went badly? Also got the sense

  2. I can't trust people being nice to me. It makes it feel like a big prank is being played on me and my entire reality is simulated / organised for some reason.

its kind of tough to be in one hall surrounded by other candidates competing for the same positions as you. Man.... But maybe that's better and I just have no stamina for job interviews.

I need to apply for ~500 more jobs this summer, just in case, but it leaves me really drained.

 

I'm thinking of something classic with feudal medieval vibes. Are there a lot of adult fantasy readers? Or is it better to dance around more traumatic NSFW events in the book to make it more suitable for teens?
