Search Results: be happy

I met with my family for Christmas and my brother and his wife brought over their first baby. I was happy to be there and meet him but I wasn't as emotionally moved as my parents or my other siblings. I've always been on the fence about wanting kids myself but I didn't feel too strongly and I feel bad about it and don't want to offend anyone by coming off as uncaring

I believe so, much more like a techno-dystopia.

We are in an era where we cannot afford homes and struggle to attain even the basic essentials, but we can manage to have smartphones and tech in which our eyes are glued to all day, tuning out what is going on around us.

Many of us are over-worked, picking up entry-level jobs because the middle class is being decimated. Once the beacon of prosperity and advancement is becoming no more. The rungs on the ladder of success and growth are becoming much wider apart.

Meanwhile, the predatory push for the "Own nothing; be 'Happy'" approach continues to thrive, and as people are being scattered everywhere, homeownership becomes more out of reach and land continues to be grabbed up to build high-density apartment rentals.

People have become cold, anti-social, and hostile in public, especially on the roads where it is a war zone. Loneliness and isolation are becoming the norm. Men have become emasculated and testosterone levels are plummeting.

The air is becoming more flat and thin. The big pollinators, the bees, are dying off, and the foliage looks less lush.

We are in the midst of a volunteer firefighter shortage, and as most of the fire departments in the US are volunteer-run with a rise of emergency calls that have tripled, our public safety infrastructure is crumbling. There is less optimism and motivation of generosity to help each other.

The government is out to serve themselves and their special interest groups, while ignoring the needs of the people overall. The government spies on their own citizens and doesn't want us to have individuality or autonomy. The greatest threat to them is living off grid, free of bureaucracy and control. They want you to be their sheep.

I just can't get these girls. They match on Tinder, they respond and then 2 hours later I find myself unmatched! I can't get it.

This particular girl I matched with when I was abroad. She said hi first. I replied telling her that I was on vacation and stuff. Then we didn't chat more. Today about 12 days later I sent her Happy Chrsitmass. To my amazement she answered within 5 minutes with a Happy Xmass to you too. I pressed like on her message. And that's all I did. I did not bother her or anything. And then about 2 hours later I went to open my Tinder app to check her profile a bit to see her pics because I did find her attractive, and I found that she had unmatched me!!!

Can someone explain? It's always the same story. Or if not always lets say very often. Like who the fuck do these girls think they are? Imagine if you are in a relationship with a girl and one slip and that's it she pulls off the plug. OR not even a wrong slip, because I haven't done anything to her, still she pulls of the plug for nothing. :( I can't believe it.
