Online dating is not immune to the October 7 effect, say Jewish singles
it sucks. I've been seeing this guy for like a year and a half, and like, idk, he doesn't act like he actually cares about me? it's really weird and i feel really sad a lot because of it.
he's nice ish when we're together but he never talks to me otherwise. he never texts me or calls me, when I text him usually he doesn't reply. he never like takes me out anywhere or wants to do anything with me, everything we do I have to initiate. he just wants to sit around on his phone all the time.
a few months ago he totaled his car, and he still hasn't gotten a new one despite having plenty of money for one because he's a snob and will only get a car he considers "cool" which he can't afford, leaving me on the hook for all our transportation, and despite him having a decent job and like no living expenses he's never once even offered to get a meal for us both. almost every time I take us out he criticises the food/place/people in the place/atmosphere.
two weeks ago I got surgery. I needed to go to another country for it. it was really major surgery and really scary for me. he didn't reach out to me a single time. never called, never wished he luck or asked how I was, still hasn't. yet he's on discord in my discord server all the time talking about other shit. I feel like I'm just not worth somebody caring about if this person who supposedly loves me cares more about discord and memes than like if I even survived anesthesia.
I'm only really with him still because he's not like actively abusive to me, dating strangers is scary, and I don't wanna hurt him by breaking up with him, but honestly I think I'm at a point where I need to just let him go and move on
anyways, idk :3 I'll be oki eventually
Every morning i get to make this face as I read the "Associated Press" to see what drivel the upstream "news" source for the mayo empire has deemed fit to feed down to the masses, usually resulting in me making a face like this:
Who wouldn’t like prices to start falling? Careful what you wish for, economists say
hmm well that sounds foreboding! what could possibly be bad about falling prices?
Wouldn’t it be great if prices actually fell — what economists call deflation? Who wouldn’t want to fire up a time machine and return to the days before the economy rocketed out of the pandemic recession and sent prices soaring?
yes! i think it would be good! i would like to be able to afford food that isn't spaghetti!
Many economists caution, though, that consumers should be careful what they wish for.
Mainly because falling prices tend to discourage consumers from spending. Why buy now, after all, if you can purchase what you want — cars, furniture, appliances, vacations — at a lower price later?
um.... oki. so like, i can still spend less money? oki?!?
businesses would face intense pressure to cut prices even more
It’s certainly true that Americans can make their paychecks go further when prices are falling. If food or gasoline prices were to tumble, households would surely find it less painful to afford groceries or their commutes to work
oh my goodness imagine if those selfish people could afford groceries and commuting to work!
who will think of the businesses?!?! omg
anyways, i've spit all my coffee out. I love me some lib economic takes in the morning. so silly, so fun, we're so doomed. what a broken ass system
rant over y'all thank you :3

When my son thought we hated him, he didn’t realize our love for Jesus (and for him) is greater than he could imagine.
I quit vaping on October 29. I started smoking cigarettes when I was like 15, and eventually switched to vapes but then my throat got all swollen and hurt from the vape and it was like way way too much nicotine. terrible.
so I got nicotine lozenges and went on those for a few months and now I'm on patches going down. I'm doing it like really gently so I don't upset my mental health, but omg I'm so happy lol
I think I'll be off the patch in another month. I did this really slow because nicotine withdrawal gives me extremely severe depression.
anyways if anybody feels like quitting nicotine, you totally can, and I really recommend it :3
