There’s also the question of the ideology of the dominant class. People are led to believe that the current system is good, that if they work hard enough they will have their place in the Olympus where they will be allowed to shit on top of the poor people’s heads. But only if they work “hard enough”.

And most working people fall for that because this ideology also make them believe that it’s better to risk the chance of being better than anyone else and potentially live a life of endless toil than it is to have a life of plenty for everyone, without too much difference between one and the other. At least you’re gonna have some “meaning”.

70 usd for 200 mbps? Local isp’s here in Brazil are charging 20 usd for 600 mbps, 30 usd for 1 gbps.

Another day on Onlyfanistan, I mean Epsteinia, I mean the US.

So libs have got no more reason to support Israel’s pinkwashing. Iran’s got even a lgbtqia+ leader! Their attacks are homophobic!

At least in Brazil we use our names, sometimes with the pronunciation in the language we’re studying. No need to use a foreign name.

assuming this is about sex and since you said you can’t have him, just accept that some blood sausages are not for you. go find another.

you know, installing some al-qaeda dissident on power but he’s totally fine now since he uses a suit.

So your only reason to support one or another party is getting laid?

Shared bathrooms, what a concept.

costa rica legalized same-sex marriage in 2020, have free public education, a medicare-style public health, is full of wildlife protection, has freedom of expression and no military, and is relatively peaceful (more peaceful than most latin american countries, for sure). don’t know about employment and cost of living, though.

another option is uruguay which benefits from most of these characteristics. wildlife is not lush though, as most of the country is empty, flat steppes mostly used for grazing cattle and sheep.

perfect definition of bluesky.

Have you looked for book clubs, gyms, courses in your region?

In this case I could verify by seeing, asking around and peeking their Instagram. Small town thing.

This came to my mind right now: people within the age range I’m willing to consider (25-45) are more likely to be already married or dating someone.

Wrong. Theoden at least was a more or less good ruler. Trump is part of the problem. He’s as if the mouth of Sauron ruled over Rohan.

Eating better. Reducing carbs and eating more fruit and vegetables. I’ve had to give up some eating habits that I had before but I’m loving the results on my body.

My two cents on dating apps in general:

1. I would rather have something that actually marks someone as willing to have a relationship instead of clinging to people that for some reason are not available; maybe I’m just lazy of knowing people, but on the other side it skips some hurdles and puts me on contact with someone I might have taken a long time to know, if at all;
2. on the other side, dating apps really reward someone physically attractive or at least that uploads the best photos. I’ve met several people who in person are alright for me which I wouldn’t swipe if I met them in an app. Also, after I actually paid a professional photographer to shoot a set of me and uploaded the pics on apps, I received more likes in a single week than during my entire life, even though nothing fundamentally changed and I’m still the same.
