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.

Thank you for being a part of it, this place is nothing without good people in it!

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

I don’t blame you. All that’s available nowadays for men to reach out is absolutely inundated with horrible horrible people and ideas. This is meant to be a space where those people aren’t allowed to fuck it up for the normal people who just need someone to talk to.

I can’t watch this right now but I will check it out as soon as I’m free. Thank you for contributing here and helping us kick off! Sci-fi in general has always been one of my favorite genres. In regards to clothing I think men should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want. I believe in unisex clothing not in a “drab grey sweatsuit” way but a “hey dude, you wanna wear a skirt or something? Fucking do it, more power to you! The Celts were wearing ‘skirts’ for a long while and it worked out for them just fine and dandy.”

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.

That’s horrible, I know how terrifyingly alone and isolated that can make you feel. One word and all of a sudden you’re entirely alone in the universe. Well you’re not alone here :) And you are right, there are a lot of good people out there, it’s important to not get stuck in the “everyone is an enemy” type of view. It is really hard to trust again but as you say, there are people out there who will prove to you that it’s worth it to trust again. Maybe you’d like to make a full post here? There are people willing to listen and to help if you wanted to give a full vent

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

It was hard. I have more but I didn’t want to dump TOO hard right away lol. Also thank you for joining! I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing but hey, congrats on being the first post!

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?

Oh shit, thank you, I knew I forgot something

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
