It's hard to avoid spiraling when you run out of money. Every time this happens to me I start feeling things like... am I good for society? Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a measure of value.

The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then legs, then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should be good to get in the water. somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you comfortable in the cold just the same. curious... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/4530 ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned-gcu │ └────────────────────────────┘ Problem: there are trans people and leftists and people of color and plenty of others who live in red areas who fear for their lives how do we help them? They need to be given the tools to escape those conditions However, many of them are poor. They lack the resources to escape, even if they had the tools. These are who I think of the most, for they have the least to leave behind. A solution: what if we got a bunch of people together and drove around to every red place we could find and invited them along? We could pay for their food and gas, and potentially save their lives. I think it would help if we could stick together. Not only would we have time to spend together learning and having fun, but also we could practice supplying a large group of people traveling across large distances. In terms of people, we'd need some to drive, and some to stay home and supply resources like dollars or... other things. I'm thinking 2-3 staying at home but potentially as many as 10 per driver. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────── -> file: fediverse/6252 "Hello software company, please hire me.
