Why are you still engaging mate just wander off and leave them to it.

Lol

Wooooooooooosh

Napping. Wake me up when September ends.

Shhh - let the Millennials do it, they need the validation, and most of us need a nap.

The blue sky through a gap in the trees

A momentary lapse in background noise so it’s unexpectedly quiet

The feeling of wind tugging at your clothes

Rain on the roof

Kids running home from the school bus

Starlings in the tree out my office window singing

The sun on my back, the wind on my front

Sore muscles from hard exercise

The twist in a short story I read, and the wow moment

My room being tidy

Why is the word bird required? A kiwi is a kiwi, it’s literally the name of the animal. You don’t say pigeon bird?

Do you have a 401k?

Lol great bait mate

ONLY A FOOL BREAKS THE TWO SECOND RULE

Working for the weekend, man.

In terms of focussing, no.

I will sometimes listen to specific music to build concentration but more than one input and its a distraction.

I think people who spend a lot of time focussing on their devices find it easy to piggyback that focus onto something else.

It has ever been so.

How many people who could have changed the world were too tired, poor, hungry, or ill.

Diversity bro

A lot of men I know like fatherhood.

I don’t live in the us so I can’t comment on any change that has been or not been.

I do know that privilege itself obscures experience. Compassion and empathy are built on experience. Therefore expecting someone who is privileged to have compassion or empathy to those without the same privilige is unrealistic. They have to be shown, or brought to a point where they can align their experience with others.

exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

…there’s your problem.

Why would they care? At worst they’re unaffected. At best they’re benefitting. What is their impetus for change?

Yes. Welcome to the UK. You will need to adjust to small aggravations such as this. Good luck.

Alright I gave it a fair crack across bc yt and even Spotify but what the actual fuck is this

Dagmar vork BTW in Spotify. I think about 25 of the listens are mine.

I had a look at the list and they’re not on the list, just like all of the other countries that aren’t on the list.

I hope that helps? Just reiterating, the list that you’re looking at doesn’t have all the countries in the world. It’s a short list of countries.

I mean you could look at it and say oh wow that’s six of the G7 countries, which are considered the countries which largely steer 'western" democracy and have done for the last 50 odd years, plus sweden, which is widely considered to be the most progressive western democracy, and try to work out why one of the countries on that list is so ass backwards in its social welfare.

But maybe it’d be easier to draw a comparison between that and Russia, which is a thinly veiled dictatorship and was booted out of the G8 10 years ago when it annexed Crimea, and China, which is literally ruled by the Chinese communist party. Those are two very valid and worthwhile comparisons to America, the world’s leading liberal democracy, with regards to entrenched workers rights.
