Yeah, but like, the jalapenos and cheese don't just fit in the fanny pack after all the flour is in there. It's rough getting by these days.
Much easier for shoplifting, yeah. Just stick a knife in the bag and inconspicuously drain it into your fanny pack while pretending to browse other baking items. Walk on out and you've got 1.5 lb of that all-purpose grain glitter and no one is the wiser.
Sometimes big life decisions come easy. Sometimes small life decisions come hard (no double entendre intended). As long as they're both on the same page when it comes to commitment, hopefully the concerns you mentioned don't apply to them and we can feel happy about it as a third-party spectator.
I mean... maybe we're depressed because of the crushing weight of the real world impacts of what's being reported on. I absolutely believe that consuming dour media can affect your mood. Plenty of evidence. I've also had two friends die of poverty due to their incapability to afford medical expenses.
Then where do I come from? I hope you're misinterpreting my sentiment, because I feel like we're on the same page.
It might feel pretty dire, but all of this information is critical to understanding and empathizing with the people you might meet in your own society. You can opt out of forums (and should if it's causing you distress). I wouldn't suffer a buffer from the negative information if it meant a lack of information in general.
