Blocked from posting on lopsided posts. The system wants to demonize half the population and infantilize the other. I’ll post when it draws a crowd. Why waste the forums I’m not blocked from. Uncomfortable truths are free.

    I usually put my cart away if the parking lot is full. Otherwise, that’s what they pay the cart wranglers for, to wrangle stray carts. I even used to work at Kmart decades ago as a cashier and wrangled charts when the lines died down, so if the lots not full, and the employees are paid to recover the carts and as I know, it’s a nice break to wander the parking lot instead of ringing people up, idk who is really upset about carts being left to their own devices… It does suck when the wind blows a cart into you or your car, but that’s pretty rare… I do make sure my cart doesn’t just roll off when I’m done, no need to send a cart missile careening across the parking lot, but otherwise I’ve never seen a good reason to not leave your shopping cart in an empty lot.




  • While this is hilarious, likely because it’s true. Dudes going after SSRI’s. SSRI’s saved my life. AND after using them for years I simply slowly reduced my dosage over about a month and I was off them and now only use them as an emergency pill if something really stressful or bad happens it keeps me from getting too emotionally raw and ragged. I have a supply to likely last me years so this doesn’t impact me. It worries me for the people the SSRI’s could help, but he wants to keep the drugs a way from.





  • As a person that once dated a person that had an actual psychotic break, beat me up cuz I wouldn’t fight back, tried to beat the police up, and pretty much ruined my happy days for awhile… I would need to know the inmates criminal history, and their mental history, I mean I could date a federal inmate if they were in for embezzlement, or theft of 10k or more if it was from a non corporate entity, but “I tried to kill my husband with a knife”. Naw I’m good.



  • His net worth is NOT how much money he is net positive. All his net worth means, is he has hundreds of billions of assets, it says nothing for the debt load he is holding onto, nor how much of his assets are already leveraged. With how throughly he has obliterated xitters ad income when it was being sold because investors were unhappy with ad income already being too low, it looks like ol Elon might have found a sure fire way to turn a billion into a million, and somehow people keep loaning him money… Have they checked who else has their financial interests vested in assets he “owns” or when you have that much stuff do they just assume no one else is using it for collateral… Just be interesting if suddenly his entire fortune went up with a puff of smoke because the debt load was too high and one of his investments went further sour causing a cascade similar to a short squeeze, just encapsulated entirely on elon musk and his assets being liquidated…




  • Dead serious, focus on one issue at a time, go through every possible cause, and make life changes until something you do fixes the issue. I had a severely deviated septum from having my face beat in as a child. As an adult in my 30’s I couldn’t sleep enough, 12-16hrs and I finally felt rested, but I needed that damn near every day. I got surgery to fix my deviated septum in my late 30’s and it changed my life, I still have sinus issues, the damage was so severe I need additional surgeries to get it near where a septum should be, I probably still snore -only my dogs know, but I get quality sleep when I go to bed, 6-9hrs depending on how hard I pushed myself the day before and I’m bright eyed and bushy tailed. Additionally the migraines I was having was from needing glasses from cataracts. Those 2 life changes were the difference between me actually doing things with my life, and just sleeping/wasting away literally my whole life. Don’t just let your problems sit around on your shoulder because everyone else does it, life can be easier. Tho it might require good health insurance, or the ability to cover your annual deductible. That being said, there are few things I would ever say to go into debt for, 1- health, 2- long term food storage, 3- anything that pays for itself long before it breaks


  • Here’s the kicker for most people, THOUGHT EXPERIMENT TIME!!! : for non home owners, how far would you move, and what kind of a career change would you accept in order to be guaranteed an actual house with a mortgage you can definitely afford even serving French fries at McDonalds, and is guaranteed to be paid off within 15yrs? Would you walk away from your current career carte blanche? Cash out your retirement and work construction on homes with the understanding one of the homes you work on is yours at a cost you WILL be able to afford when they are all completed? I personally can’t think of a job I wouldn’t do except prostitution, and naked body shows, meaning I would clean toilets, I would clean dog shit, I would clean up after nasty sex shows so long as i got proper biohazard protection gear, I would walk away from a 20+ yr career as an IT Engineer to learn basic and then advanced construction. I bet I’m not alone.
