People praising that dude that killed a leopard with his bare hands need to really think about why the leopard felt the need to prey on humans in the first place
Oh please, I tried that “fake it til you make it” horseshit and it was worn away through years of constant shitheads using me for their entertainment, all the while trying my hardest to believe it would come eventually.
The hard facts of life are this: life is not a fairy tale. Not every story has a happy ending. As you read this, there are kids out there catching bullets in Gaza who will never even get to finish puberty, let alone find love. Nothing is guaranteed – you can try as hard as you want at something, and sometimes you simply will not have it for factors entirely outside of your control. Some people will never be able to serve on submarines, because they are too tall. Some people will never be able to be a commercial pilot, because they are colorblind. Likewise, some of us just aren’t destined for love, be it for any myriad constellations of internal and external factors.
In my case, I have mild autism, and I can never mask well enough that someone decent won’t see through my facade. Oh, sure, I’m apparently fun to be around for brief periods at a time, but I guess the novelty of a spastic wears off for them and they quickly make their exit, ghosting me soon enough. But more upsettingly, all the horrible people who stick around to use me for their entertainment, I can never see through theirs before it’s too late.
It’s not fair. But sometimes that’s just how things are.
And now, knowing what I do, I’d not put effort towards something as hard to find and keep as love. At least when I put my efforts towards other pursuits, I can see measurable progress in some way. Trying to find love was like ramming my head against a brick wall and hoping the wall would break before I did. If you want to help someone who’s on that “forever alone” drivel, it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but they’re much better off putting their effort towards things they’re actually making progress in. Your best chance of finding love in such a scenario? Dumb luck. It will either fall out of the great blue sky for you, or it won’t, and that’s just how it is.
Sadly and unfortunately true. Though the reality is that it’s still bitter and acidic eating away at someone who craves connection. Luck, it seems, is really the determinate factor in much of life.
Still, I hope you get lucky and find what you want from life as much as I hope for it myself.
A “renoviction” refers to a situation where a landlord evicts a tenant because they intend to perform renovations on the rental property or suite.
In many cases, renovictions are entirely appropriate and necessary to maintain the rental property. However, renovictions do not always happen in good faith. For example, it’s not uncommon to see landlords claiming that they intend to renovate a suite to evict a tenant and then relisting the rental without completing renovations to take advantage of the market.
Essentially a bs way to boot a lower rent tenant in favor of the current market rate for tenancy. Market rates are easier than ever to price fix determine now too thanks to sites like realpage.
When you get evicted due to no fault of your own because the landlord intends to renovate the property. It’s often done so they can slap in a new carpet, some tiles and a new bathtub and then jack the price up 1200$ and call it a luxury property.
The US is an Israeli-controlled state. Stopping arms shipments to them isn’t enough, we need to start arming Palestine, Iran, etc. and make right on decades of racism and Western imperialism.
