Anytime you bring up this stuff as an issue, people on the far left say "they're a private company, they can do what they want!" I'm not fkn talking about what they currently can get away with legally. Maybe I just find it appalling that I'm not allowed to hear both sides of a story and come to my own conclusion. Free speech isn't just something in the constitution, as someone else said, it's an idea that was worth putting into law.

Next thing y'all will be saying Breonna Taylor and Daniel Shaver deserved what they got and the police didn't do anything wrong there. My wild take is that most police are good, but we do have a problem where bad ones aren't held accountable to the standards they should be. End qualified immunity, end civil asset forfeiture, keep the budgets the same but put more money into training and less into military gear.

When did the idea of wanting to live a less complicated life hit you? What built up to it? by forgottenpasswordguy in simpleliving

[–]forgottenpasswordguy[S] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I feel you on that for sure. I'm a hobbies guy, and hobbies often require stuff. There are a lot of things I only do a handful of times a season and it makes me wonder what's worth keeping around. I'm also big on self sufficiency, so there are even more things laying around that only get used a few times a year. When one of my good friends moved he had a tv, a couple bags of clothes, his phone, and an xbox-it was something to think about.

I still have most of my stuff, but generally it's everything I "need" and nothing I don't. I've gotten rid of a lot this year, and what I do have is quality, repairable, functional, etc-I don't have to think about upgrading or replacing things at least. Another sub I want to recreate here is buyitforlife

My opinion on this specific vaccine is irrelevant, I have a big problem with the federal government getting this involved in my personal health, and terms in which I can be employed. Especially considering how unvaccinated people are pretty much only affecting each other, and covid actually hasn't killed that many people (~0.001% of the population here) This goes against a lot of my principles even if I believe it would ultimately be beneficial to our countries literal and economic health.

Heck yeah, welcome! I'm in my mid 20s and while it wasn't such a huge transformation and breaking point like yours, I simply started to realize that I am always trying to bite off more than I can chew. I wanted to dive into so many different hobbies, watch or read every single interesting thing that I came across, take on every project that I could, work out, be a student, work many hours, etc. I was half-assing every category in life and wasting time burnt out, all because I wanted to take on so many different things.

Half of those videos in my watch later playlist weren't that interesting, I don't need to tinker with my daily driver and my project car, I need to stop telling my friends that it has been a busy year, etc. I don't have it figured out yet, but I do think I'm heading in a better direction!

The gardening sounds great, I'd love to get into that when I have a place of my own. I've finally started getting consistent with the gym too, it has always been a phase that came and went every 3 or 4 months, I hope to keep nailing it and become my ideal self.

I don't blame you and I'm surprised I don't see more people like you. It must be hard to have leftist ideals while actually hanging around the left these days. Sometimes I feel the same hanging with people on the right when they start whining about the BLM protests, you can be skeptical about the numbers of police specifically targeting black people, but a lot of the people marching simply want justice and police accountability-nothing wrong with that.
