I was born in the 80s. Mom was a teacher, Dad worked in IT.

Both conversations were not especially made out to be a… ok listen carefully we’re going to talk about this now. They were not made out to be a big deal, just happened naturally.

It was part of everyday life, if the subject arised it was not ignored, we were kept up to date on news and when we hadl questions about any subject, we always had an answer, we were encouraged to think critically about subjects being politics, sex or drugs, didn’t matter.

At the time my country was going through a very serious drug crisis, so it was impossible to ignore.

Fortunately the decriminalisation of all drugs lowered the drug problem significantly, but I was in college at that point.

It seems absolutely exhausting to live inside your head.

If you’re in your teens, I get it, you’re still developing, you’ll get over it… But if you’re an adult… Oh boy… Please talk to a therapist about all this, you need to vent.

This seems like something you all should be discussing in family therapy.

Yeah me and my husbands messages are mostly memes and cat pictures.

I always use the store app to scan as I shop and just pay at the machines at the exit here in Portugal. Hate shopping any other way.

Would you keep the sentient one as a friend?

Not helpful for the current predicament, but good general advice for the future.

Oops forgot to translate it lol.

It’s RGPD laws.

This reads like one of those articles made to scare old people.

Oh I agree, I like the way they do it here.

I already use keep as my shopping list on a note I share with my husband. Didn’t even know there was a separate Google shopping list, seems unnecessary.

I guess it depends on where you live. In my town its just assumed the cars are going to stop anyways and so pedestrians are dangerously dismissive of the existence of cars on crossways, sometimes people don’t even look before crossing.

Drivers have learned this and are always super careful near crossways and new arrived pedestrians get used to it quickly and keep the pattern going.

I’m in Europe and haven’t seen it yet either, so I guess it’s just random and we’ve been lucky.

Lmao!

My dad was one of those working overtime, I remember he was so tired that Christmas.

Annoys me nowadays when I see people say stuff like… All that panic and no problems at all!

There were no problems because people worked really hard for no problems, Kevin!

I know nothing about this subject as I’m not personally acquainted with anyone that has to go through it but, as a woman that struggled with weight well through adulthood, to me you look and sound like a woman who’s self conscious about her weight.

There’s billions of us out there. What worked for me was just try to stop thinking of myself through other people’s eyes and restraint myself for the sake of my health.

I was 30 when a doctor said, if you don’t stop overeating now, being fat will be your defining characteristic. That opened my eyes, but still today at 40 and with a healthy weight, looking at sweets and pastries is still an internal struggle, a dialog I have with myself over and over. I suspect it’s going to be one for the rest of my life.

Sorry my comment went on a tangent, but to be honest the being a woman part of your post seemed less important, since it’s clearly just what your are.

Unless it happens during warranty, that costs money to the user not the manufacturer.

Only the mean ones.

And that “life by you” one as well. Love seeing competition on the genre.
