You want a guy who’s not interested in sex? Have you considered just befriending gay men? Or dating a guy closer to 50?

Seriously, almost guy your age is on the prowl…

Stories are lame and I literally never watch them unless a sexy woman is involved

If it really matters to you then just say “Hey babe, I notice that you never watch my stories, but you’re on my mind when I make them”

Don’t make it about comparing. Just make it about him meeting your basic expectations of a distance relationship. If he continues to come up short, well… Life is too short to be seven hours away from your partner. I’m sure there are plenty of available folks in your area

And yeah, just don’t sweat if he’s got some thirsty follows. It’s similar to porn so maybe find something you can both enjoy together 🤷🏻‍♀️ or maybe get him to talk about it in a non-judgmental conversation

These guys aren’t corporate though

It’s awful. I’m overseas and so it’s useful for keeping in touch with many different kinds of people in different places, but I use it less and less

Cook at home. Use mostly fresh ingredients. Staple foods are cheap… Rice, beans, etc

Beans and rice with oil and vinegar can hit the spot every day for lunch

Cold cut sandwich with fresh veggies. Bonus for homemade bread!

Eggs. Pasta. Eggs & pasta

For snacks, popcorn on your stove. Flavor with salt or spices. (I love Tajin!)

Keep a few spices in your kitchen. Have a decent olive oil and something high temp like grapeseed or vegetable oil

Avoid alcohol. If you must, don’t drink in bars. (I’m alcoholic… I know it’s hard to quit)

Learn how to properly operate your home’s thermostat in summer and winter. Set it for automatic and dial in your preferred temperature. Leave it constant. This is vastly more efficient than turning it on and off and on and off.

Don’t speed when driving a car. It takes more gas and can get you ticketed

Don’t pay for TV or streaming services. Just pirate. Pirate games too. Books from libgen

For internet access, it may be best value to get unlimited mobile data and make a Hotspot for your PC

Have a specific savings plan. Set X% aside immediately after receiving each paycheck. If possible, get a high-interest account where you’re required to make monthly deposits

If you have a hobby, hopefully it’s cheap. If you can monetize it without killing your passion, go for it. If you have an expensive hobby, try to make enough money from it to offset the costs (I study fiddle. I busk to pay for strings, bowhair, and occasional lessons)

Consider leaving the US for a place that’s cheaper or offers better terms. I left to teach English in Korea and China. Was able to save money and have a robust social life.

Meanwhile the US just gave an 8.7bn dollar package to Israel to continue killing Gazan and now Lebanese children with terror methods like the pager attack.

But Trump will somehow be worse? So I should support the people who are complicit in what’s going on now?

No I refuse

Good so you also feel shame then?

OK I don’t understand your logic. They spend billions of dollars to get people to vote. Door knockers are there to get people like me to vote. Do you not understand how elections work?

OK well tell me about Michigan Arabs and how much power they are holding in this election.

If not voting is so powerless then why are you all so upset about the idea of people not voting?

OK so I should vote for the people who quietly stand by and let weapon manufacturers profit from genocide? Who now Israel invade Lebanon? They are so ethical and deserving of my vote.

How do you even know Trump would cause extinction of Palestinians??? That’s pure speculation while the current people in power are actually letting war crimes happen

Look how angry you are at a stranger on the internet! 😂

Ah yes, I should be ashamed. Certainly not the people in power who stand by and let American guns kill children on Gaza. Certainly not people like you who have decided that you’re fine with it

Liberals are fascists 🤷

Actually, voting for the “lesser evil” is how we got into those mess and how it will continue

We need serious and deep election reforms in our country. These parties are trash. “Less evil” is still evil. You’ll look the other way for the next four years while Gazans continue to die from American bullets

Don’t vote! It feels great!

If Democrats see Gazan children as totally expendable, what makes you think they see anybody else differently?

OK then it sounds like voting and not voting have the same result so why should I bother?

This is totally illogical and you know it. And your Starbucks gift card “metaphor” is a complete false equivalence.

Why do parties run campaigns if their job isn’t convince voters? Billions of dollars and endless hours of research are spent courting votes but you say it’s not their job and they don’t care? Wha???

I wish anybody would pay me!

If enough people stop voting it would force the government to legitimize itself. It would show how many people are actually dissatisfied and empower all of us. It could lead to more people refusing to vote in future, further eroding the appearance of legitimacy of the current arrangement

Would you rather I stop posting here and vote for Trump instead?

Is genocide OK because Biden and then kamala Harris will be letting it happen?
