webcams demand you to be presentable and make your space presentable

No they don’t. That’s an artifical societal demand. Interacting in public with anyone “heightens the need” to be presentable, but there’s no one forcing you to dress up nice or put on makeup.

IMO women need to take back the idea that we’re expected to slather on makeup before we’re “presentable”. I prefer to think of myself as attractive, and makeup might enhance that for special occasions, but au naturel is my default for day to day, including webcams.

I’m surprised at this; they’re always SO disorganised we stopped going

Well, no matter what happens, Trump will cry and play the victim, and then casually overthrow more people’s human rights. Because he can.

Consider, if you will, the rambling, incoherant Star Wars franchise. That series has been too long for its own good for years. So its possible for movie series to ramble. James Bond, Alien, Avatar. Where movies are based on a book/comic they tend to be richer stories due to the increased volume of detail in the source material.

Personally I prefer a movie though, because of the consistent ability to tell a story with a guaranteed begining/middle/end.

Is it possible for someone to identify the bubble they live in so practically?

Candyman!

There’s a lot of “all or nothing” thinking here. Have you tried talking this out with a therapist you trust at all?

Wishing you the best, friend, from someone who’s actively fixing their life before I turn 45. It’ll take time to get there. I’m totally enjoying the reduced stress, anxiety and depression as I work on it.

I could never find 1 spot in school that was consistantly safe for me to retreat to for any period of time. Instead I had multiple spots all over where I’d retreat to for short time frames. If one wasn’t available, I could move on to the next one without getting too upset.

Friend, I’m sending you hugs, and if you’re open to it I’d strongly recommend building meditation skills. Therapy is a must if you want to understand why you feel this way, but meditation can help a lot in the meantime. I wish you the best, and hope you find somewhere safe to breathe today ❤️

I think its more like at least 5 real places

Porco Rosso!

Not weird at all, just a different perspective they weren’t previously aware of. One group I know of that does this is people who follow stoicism. Memento mori!

What makes a man a man?

What about El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing? 😁

Any tips for someone whose medicinal use has increased signifincantly over the last few years and is struggling to keep it all together?

Ugh so gross. So there’s only 1 possible solution, and they have to sell it to you. More options pleas3, not made of clunky, awkward pads which force me to wear Granny panties.
