Are we having an argument? Most likely I’m not trying to be a meanie, but I’m just struggling to understand / effectively communicate with yah.

    Most western countries use extremely warped methods for unemployment statistics to help pretend that it’s an individual’s fault they can’t find good employment. The US frequently reports the U-3 category as ‘unemployment’, when U-6 is closer (and still underreported). The UK unemployment rate excludes people out of work for 4 weeks (and many other exceptions like 0-hour contracts, or outside circumstances obstructing them).

    The true rates are almost always at least twice as high.











  • Happens to a lot of (most?) people, including us late bloomers. It is okay, honestly.

    Took me two years to get over my first relationship. When I ended my last, abusive, relationship of ~6 years (on/off), I literally sat down and told myself that I wouldn’t be able to love or be loved by anyone again - It’s a cliché, I knew that at the time, but I honestly believed it. Every day for like a year, I was plagued with the simple thought “I am broken”.

    Eventually that feeling just… faded. I joined a couple local groups, and not much later I met a hecka cool person and we hit it off.

    It’s a very personal thing and it’s honestly okay to grieve a relationship for years, don’t feel bad about it. Just don’t close yourself off to the world because of it, either. In my case, spending time with people is often very helpful to renormalise and let the social bit of your brain know that all is okay, but it still takes time.





  • And the repeated votes on the right to food:

    And the vote on not glorifying Nazis (though the west abstained):

    And to a lesser extent, the vote on admitting Palestine as a full member state:

    The west still abstains and votes for bad stuff all the time. But OP image really is accurate. America and Israel were the only ones to vote no on all three. They specifically really fuck over the most basic of shit.
