People have a right to exist and society has a responsibility to care for those who cannot work. The whole point of society is to ensure the health and well being of their members as a WHOLE. If a society cannot or will not care for their elderly or infirm then that is a failed society.

Melancholy. It just sounds so nice. It rolls off the tongue so well and it’s just a beautiful word.

My buddy used to have tarantulas and while I fucking hated and was scared shitless by them, they apparently had recognizable personality quirks and habits according to him. Shiver Creepy little bastards though

Birds. Though her favorite thing is also birds. This…can create issues.

Ah well, unfortunately the community name is set, there’s no changing it after it’s created. Maybe I should’ve made it more searchable but hopefully we can spread it by word of mouth enough where it’ll take off. Also I kinda wanted it less intimidating clinical sterile sounding and more just a homey place where people can feel safe to talk openly, just a li’l reprieve from the outside world.

Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don’t know if they have an iOS version but I’m on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar

I don’t like religions in general and a lot of the reason is the shitty way (some) adherents feel they can treat women and other minorities and it’s just a-okay dandy because their magic li’l book told them it’s okay. I went to that wedding I mentioned when I was just a pre teen and it really sorta cemented the fact that there’s so much bullshit going on with that and just…no one deserves to deal with that. Just love each other and be happy y’all, it doesn’t seem so complicated to me.

You can share them to fellow humans here now /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

Well if you give up before you start just because the existing options are shitty then that makes you part of the problem, doesn’t it?

Yeeah agreed. So this is specifically not gonna be about that and if I see any of that shit it’s getting nixed… I just want all these guys who have no where to turn to to…well, have somewhere to turn to. Each other.

Aw shit I mean uhhhhh no?

Too bad for them I made one

Just the wife. It was all about “serving God” and “by serving man you show your devotion to God”. There were uhh…ripples of unease going through the wife’s side when all that was said to put it lightly.

The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.

Edit: No idea what I’m doing but /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

I’m here to talk if you need an ear man, I understand you and it sounds like you’ve been through your own personal brand of shit

Edit: Made a com where you can talk more freely without judgement /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

No but in my neighborhood it’s 3.5kUSD/month for a one bedroom studio

If you really honestly don’t understand why what you said was horrible I’m willing to have a conversation with you if you want to DM me to talk about it. For starters, men feel scared and uncomfortable because their serious problems will get made light of just like you did. Or told to “man up”. Which I imagine was on the tip of your tongue

This response is why men feel scared and uncomfortable opening up. You are a part of the problem. For your male family members’ sake, I hope you check in on them instead of just being sexist online.

Food. Shelter. Healthcare. In a lot of places water. Just staying in general is markedly more difficult.

Alternate title “Men so starved of sources of support they resort to talking to AI”

Edit: have started a new com for men to talk to each other instead of AI /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip
