Conglomerated List of "Things that can F*ck right off* (Part 2)

I’ve never understood bottles water but I live in a country where tap water is safe to drink. So I guess that’s why.

Whenever I see it advertised or promoted I instantly thinking about Lorax (It’s a kids movie where they chop down all trees, have plastic trees instead and a company that sells bottled air)

Most plastics here are recyclable. Stores doesn’t sell plastic bags unless it’s for reusable purpose. Can’t understand how the paper bags can be more environmentally friendly. Would’ve rather seen the old fashion braided baskets instead. I have one from my grand mother, but unfortunately it’s on it’s way to break.

I saw The Lorax at the drive-in. I love Dr. Seuss :grin:

Our tap water is safe too, I always test it when I move somewhere new. It’s supposedly more regulated than most bottled waters anyway.

My state just did away with plastic bags a couple years ago. I remember 30 years ago my parents always took their own canvas bags shopping and I never saw anyone else do it. Now if you don’t have your own you have to pay for bags at checkout. If only that happened way back when. That would’ve saved decades of waste :unamused:

Yes, and then they incinerate most of it. Very little is actually recycled. It sucks. All we can do is try our best not to use plastic. I understand it is often unavoidable. But try anyway.

I thought mainly about plastics bottles.
But I know, I’m not a plastic fan. But that’s mostly because I can’t put plastic in the dishwasher.
We have to recycle everything here.
All houses have separate bins for food, other kind of waste, plastic, carton and things like that are going to recycle stations or recycling stations at the city dump, where everything also is thrown in separate bins to recycle.

I can’t remember that we ever had plastic or paper bags for free here. My grandparents used said basket. And my parents belong to the kind of people who brings a backpack wherever they go.

My mother still have a backpack everywhere and she’s 65.

At least Sweden is trying…the “participate if you want to” approach here in US is a far cry from it,

Realizing only days into it that my stupid mental and emotional bullshit was triggered by hormones and that no, I am not going crazy. Well at least not more than usually :roll_eyes:
Every single time I run around like a headless chicken trying to find out what is wrong with me and then it hits me: hormones. Should have gotten used to it by now… :angry:

Feel the exact same. I’m like a yo-yo. Exercise is really slowing the demons, but it still creeps in. Every time it side swipes me. Acceptance and pause is the only way to tackle it. Yoga and body balance are reprogramming that slowness for me. The art of holding my pose/emotion. Stretching it out and caring for my body whole.

:heart:

My instructor cried today during the mountain 2 exercises. I’m really trying to follow her lead on the breathing and the grounding. She’s inspirational for sure. I’m getting a lot out of sun salute lately and I used to dislike it. Also half scorpion really gets me and swan with deep extensions. Loving it :heart_eyes:

Sending you hugs :people_hugging: Hormones suck. I always forgot about the impact until it hit me, never got used to it. I’m grateful this part is mostly over for me. 10 years of perimenopausal suffering and 35 years of bleeding. If it helps you: It WILL end :people_hugging::blush:

People who talk at you with rapid fire verbal diarrhea when you’re trying to relax during lunch with headphones on can fuck right off :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Sometimes i get it,
But
Why

Why do some people have the desire to apologize for someone who was doing something.
If it’s not your child, family member or someone your personally accountable FOR doing the wrong, why the fuck apologize

I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT

I’m with you on this. Was it actually something that upset me, or did you just think you it was something that should’ve upset me? You’re making this person believe they don’t have to apologize bc you did it for them.

Moreover, people who apologize for every little thing. I’ve seen this a lot training new people at work. Why are you sorry you didn’t get something right the first time you tried? Or forgot one of the 50 things I told you in one day? Sorry becomes meaningless when it’s over used.

All the wasted materials used for packaging prescription meds. Look at this! It’s ridiculous.

I think you can attribute a lot of that to “new job jitters” with some people though. When you’re the newbie you tend to feel a little insecure and worried about looking like a doofus.

That was just a quick example, but I honestly think I might’ve secretly been speaking to my old self. I was guilty of being that person for a very long time until I realized what it was doing to me. Feeling sorry all the time is no way to live. It’s not really anybodies fault for being that way. I just see it as a weakness that’s better to overcome.
