that’s generally the same logic that has led me to avoid getting a cc or loans, probably better to be at 0 with room to go up than in the negative constantly. but your credit score point; i have no credit score at all and so people still won’t rent to me

i was just wondering the other day, how many people i’ve come across who keep up appearances of a certain lifestyle or able to afford certain amounts of rent are actually in crippling debt, because it’s something i never even considered until last year. i’ve never opened a credit card or taken out a loan and so have lived a very basic low income life yet i’d always see people my age or even younger living life with many more amenities with a part time job or even no job… i’m sure trust fund/parental contribution also plays a role

i wonder if the anxiety of having no money is greater or less than the anxiety of being in debt, but certainly from outward appearance those with decent living situations/freedom of choice in what they eat, where they go, how they spend their time, in exchange for being in debt, generally seem to be much happier

extremely telling that reddit is always full of cherry picked isolated incidents of muslims doing “barbaric” things that get thousands of upvotes but not a single post in sight of this mass assault by a white christian terrorist

good on them, wish more musicians had the guts to follow suit. i’ve been so disgusted by how “default” spotify has become when it comes to distribution and music discovery…

idk as someone who worked multiple jobs with kids the “stare” usually means you as an adult are not engaging enough

also seen plenty of millenials genX and boomers do this same “stare” when you say something they don’t want to comprehend

colonialism is when red percentage numbers and dark colors

now lets make one of indigenous populations on turtle island

personally, i find it hard to care for myself when i’m not being cared for from others. not that i need someone all the time (very used to the solitude atp); it just makes me feel like “what’s the point?”, like the tree in the forest thing, why does it matter if i’m in shape or taking care of my hygiene or improving as a person if no one is there to even notice or acknowledge it?

i used to believe in the “do it for yourself” mentality but that’s the same mentality that led to me being completely isolated. these days i’ve built enough resilience to continue healthy habits and take care of myself more than i used to, mainly out of spite, and i try to consider my life experience and body/mind/soul just part of my life ‘experiment’ that i’ll see through to the end just so i can have a good laugh about it before it’s all over.
