This classification system is deeply flawed but one of the most obvious ways is failing to recognize that quiche is an arbitrarily over specific example of what its category should ACTUALLY be called, which is obviously PIE.
PIZZA IS PIE TOO. The crust puffing up elevated at the edges contains the ingredients within.
And in this case, a stuffed crust pizza is indeed a PIE SURROUNDED BY A CALZONE.
Alternatively surrounded by a burrito.
yes, it would be nice if this were not the shape of the world we lived in
where vacant homes are piggybank tokens for foreign billionaires and their real estate holdings firms while families are left vagrant on the street.
where all the currency liquidity of our market has pooled at the top like a brain hemorrhage and our entire economy goes through seizure after seizure as we watch pieces of it die.
where basic human rights and necessities for life are commoditized, gatekept, and sold at a premium, to the extent that some people can't afford to live
but unfortunately, one must make do with the tools one can access...
Metaphorically speaking, our civilization is flooded and we are traped underwater.
It is indeed a problem that we are trapped underwater.
People are drowning every day.
Yes, no one should have to need SCUBA gear.
Yes, it sucks that we've built our entire infrastructure around facilitating the use of SCUBA gear.
Let us not mislead ourselves, however, into thinking that criticism of SCUBA gear would ever change the fact that we are trapped underwater,
or that someone would be any less likely to drown down here if we took their SCUBA gear away.
I think you've got a point here:
LABELING it "Emotional Labor" commoditizes it - turns a natural process of humanity into a product. To be sold.
~~if i tried to comfort you about it, though, wouldn't that just perpetuate and enable the problem?~~
...actually no, i can't even joke about it. I'm sorry people left you feeling emotionally abandoned, bro. It's not fair that you get put under this double standard. The fact is, everyone needs emotional labor. Another word for emotional labor is goddamn fucking empathy and SOME PEOPLE don't want to show any toward men.
THOSE people don't matter. The kind of woman who would look at you as a burden would, in fact, be a burden upon you.
You are worthy of love. You are worth the investment of psychological and emotional energy. You have value even above and beyond intrinsic value as a human being. And if you were here, I'd be taking us both out for tacos and/or ice cream right goddamn now.
HVAC and shelter.
ain't gonna survive sleeping in your bike for a few years scraping by on the few places willing to hire you under the table.while all the shitstain hiring managers complain "nobody wants to work anymore" as they fucking shred your application over and over and over again.
Hell yeah O_O
Sappho And Her Friend, "Roommates"!
It's surprisingly wholesome hearing people who used to hate women in their earlier lives suddenly illustrating with profound astonishment how much happier and how much more whole they began to feel when they started taking estrogen...
Even if they're still describing it with internalized self-inflicted contempt and disgust.
And it makes me almost dare to hope, "maybe this gal will realize that she feels good because it's RIGHT...?"
Or became the gfs :D which is hella valid, based, AND a victory for them!
Acceptable. It is a game worth owning outright in itself.
YES, LET US COAT THE INFANT IN PAIN-DUST
you know what, yeah actually, i think i agree with that too!
