@coolboymew What is that?
-
@dushman @dusk @Shirei @Moon @condret @skylar I will say that sometimes the landlord is another worker, and they will do what they can themselves on the property... it can be more expensive to maintain otherwise. Then you sometimes have live-in landlords.
-
@condret @Moon @Shirei @dushman @dusk @skylar I don't know how else to put this, but the ones I've known really were working class. One rented out a room in their home but still lived in it, for example. Had a day job, although I think it was their own company. Other examples are more like they outgrew their first home, so they rent their property out for holidays or to live in while they live elsewhere.

@thatguyoverthere @thatbrickster Oh yeah, although I think that I got rid of most of those clothes now. Although there is one item of clothing that I tried today which just about fits that I got in the last few years, it would be great to lose some weight so that I feel more comfortable wearing it. But it is more like I have fat sitting in a place and way that I don't like, makes wearing things more difficult. I just don't know how to lose more weight than I have through food alone, which is why I'm considering the best way for exercise. Habits are hard to form and keep tho.

@Soy_Magnus @thatguyoverthere Reminds me of when I talk to people about mental health issues, although I've never trained in that. I just know some things from experience or research. Although I've found that I need to be extra careful to not make things worse. It is easy to lose friends or conversations to be mostly about this though.
-
@thatguyoverthere @thatbrickster What does focusing more on shape look like?
-
@thatguyoverthere Yeah. Plus I think that just having something like a salad on the menu can convince people to eat less healthy this time... so it benefits them to offer it.
-
@thatguyoverthere How much fat is healthy and reasonable to lose each month? Although mine is still stored where I don't want it to be.
-
Do you think that consumers can change what gets sold in McDonalds by only going there for healthy food? It is an interesting thought.
-
I really need a good exercise program.
-
@coolboymew If they think characters are desexualised for wearing clothes, they haven't met me yet.
-
Global corporatism is not our culture. They are replacing our culture with their brands instead. When you think about it, they have replaced what it means to be western by tricking us into thinking that we need them and their brands, that consumerism is our culture.
-
What happened to the UK is not an instruction manual to follow, it is a warning to what happens when you let in the global colonists.
-
@coolboymew @thatbrickster @shedinja It seems like nowhere is safe from the colonists. They are just a bit behind the west.
-
@thatguyoverthere I think you would be right there about animal plowing vs machines. I think soil depletion really has been a problem, especially with bad farming practices. Just growing the one thing doesn't help. I imagine that a farm trying to feed a small village would have more diversity within it. Rather than what we have now where it's like they are trying to feed the world or meet some quota.
-
Makes me wonder what we do now. Who suffers so that we can live the lifestyle that we live now? Perhaps we suffer ourselves for it too, especially with certain advances in technology. Not all progress is good for us.
-
It's interesting to think that we think of farming as more of a masculine job, but that was mostly because of the technology advances during the industrial revolution during the Victorian times. Before then, there were more hands involved and both men and women got involved. It wouldn't surprise me if children were involved too.
During the harvest time, men would cut the crops in the fields and the women would gather the crops together and tie it together. I'm not using the actual technical terms here but that is basically it. It provided work for them.
It's sad to think that so many people starved when the threshing machines came into use, because they couldn't work to afford to eat in the winter. All so that there was more production... the countryside people suffered so the people of the cities and towns were fed. We don't think of this very often. I think this drove more people to the towns/cities too.
-
The problem with censoring books from other eras or cultures for not conforming to modern sensibilities is that we are destroying what people like this profess to believe in, which is diversity.
We have to allow ourselves to be offended by the opinions of other people, we have to be able to acknowledge that people in the past or in different cultures had different values and priorities, they had different sensibilities. This is how we grow as people.
People in the past can no longer grow because their time has been and gone. But through their works and opinions, we can grow. We can pass our wisdom from this on to future generations, who can hopefully take those lessons and grow further. If we censor them, we cannot grow. We just assume that things have always been the way we think them to be now. We stagnate instead. All curiosity, all creativity, all wisdom... it dies for modern sensibilities and censorship.

"Your existence is proof that generations of your face has been loved."
-
@thatguyoverthere Yeah, I do think that we think differently now. Probably because a lot of things have become normalised now. Which helps girls to just be girls, and then women as they age. We just need to normalise being healthy and responsible, so we aren't chasing after short-term pleasures and being irresponsible. I think that some teens and young women will also make themselves seem less appealing so that may play into being ugly or unattractive. They want to hide from that gaze which is uncomfortable for them. Not everyone is after a date. Not sure that shaming them will make them behave more feminine.
