They aren’t nearly as motivated to go as fast as I am, and they can only bag one person at a time and have lines, while usually there are 4-6 machines wide open for me to jump onto immediately.
I fucking hate going to the grocery store though.
EDIT: also lonely old people will stop and chit chat sometimes slowing shit even more.
Yeah, I try not to let things go unsaid myself because I don’t really post memes much and I do try to fight against the toxic mentality of “men don’t share feelings” shit.
But I feel a sort of mental “sting” every time I talk about something that makes me sad in front of people. It makes me worry I’m being pathetic, unlikable, or unattractive.
It depends on the context.
In the context of our current government, it doesn’t seem likely that its hopeless. The fascists are so laughably incompetent that what they are doing is unsustainable even in the short term.
When it comes to certain other things, like my personal perception of the average American following this election, it indeed is hopeless. There is almost nothing that I could fathom that could make me fully sympathetic to the average American again.
You’re going to be waiting until you are dead.
In the short stint that I bothered trying to use a dating app I just swiped right on people I was attracted to and seemed compatible based on their bio.
If I wasn’t physically attracted to them it wouldn’t work anyway so IDK why I’d want to waste my time???
But yeah I gave up not because of the swiping/algo but because in a few cases people misrepresented themselves or were overly vague in their bios. In one case someone swiped right on me but then changed their mind because the reread my bio (read the fucking bio in the first place people) or in one case we had made plans to hook up and so I kind of got busy and stopped messaging them for a few days, they messaged me annoyed that I was not showering them in consistent attention and disconnected.
After that I was like, online dating sucks fuck this, and uninstalled.
I’m introverted, I liked them immediately.
