Was going through my old photos and found some dumb memes I made in 2016. This was one of them.

Their lyrics are actually pretty class conscious sometimes for a band that ever flirted with any mainstream success.

I love the consistent percussive drumming of this band and the flow of their vocals.

Ok so I'm newly single after a very very bad marriage. I had tried the dating apps a few months ago and go literally ZERO matches. I was frustrated but realized they are mainly just scams now. I deleted my accounts and gave up on dating for now.

The past week I uploaded a video of me hitting baseballs in my yard onto IG and literally got 3 women who slid into my DMs within a day 🤷

Thinking outside the box, folks.

Without getting into too much detail...I have been abused by women most of my life. I finally ended an abusive marriage with a female narcissist. I have never really struggled with this issue up until recently.

I am finding that I am often dismissed and not believed when I try to discuss this issue, even to therapists and my lawyer (all whom have also been female). I have almost no resources or support. There are no men's groups for this issue in my area. Often online I will see people mock people like myself. I have even had people on socialist sites dismiss situations like mine. It is beyond frustrating.

I understand how it is and I know that patriarchy and misogyny are still huge issues, but I've noticed myself feeling very resentful towards a lot of women recently and sometimes veer into misogynistic thoughts.

I don't want to be like this, but I am struggling.

Any advice on what I can do to control these thoughts and retrain my brain?

I have experienced trauma my entire life. I just got out of a very emotionally abusive relationship. I developed severe PTSD symptoms in the last few years.

I've always felt that maybe I don't think like most other people I encounter. I've always had a hard time connecting to people and seemed to attract some really bad people into my life.

I am very self aware, probably too much so. I am usually well liked and have never really had issues with social norms or anything. I do have some other habits that make me wonder. I've wondered if I'm schizophrenic before but I only meet a few of the criteria. My abusive ex tried to convince me I had borderline personality disorder, which I do have some symptoms of. However, these symptoms have lessoned since I left the relationship.

I think I might have high functioning autism, but I have never been evaluated. I am fairly intelligent and self aware so I know to hide a lot of my symptoms.

Anyways, I'm just wondering what are some traits you have?

I personally think it should be a friendly greeting between comrades

This alone has resulted in several really positive life changes.

Fuck plastic.

ie toaster, can opener, ice maker

If so, is it hard? Should I just fork over the money to a shop?
