  • I mean that’s sort of what I mean. I don’t always hold myself to my standards.

    For example I’m a tree loving hippie, but I have a ICE car (luckily its currently broken). I had to get one for work, I needed to get parts during the work day etc. I would have bought a EV, had I had the money for one. But anyway, having that car there, if I had cravings for some potato chips in the middle of the night, every now and then I’d hop in and pop to the shops. Not saying that was a weekly thing, but a few times a year I’d do that.

    But I’m not gonna start hating myself because of that. As long as its a rare thing, its fine. Or perhaps my principle is “do your best, don’t be too harsh on yourself.”

    I came across this quote recently: “We dont need a hanful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” - Anne Marie Bonneau







  • Been dealing with depression and anxiety for a couple of decades, sort of successfully. Couple of years ago got told I had cancer, a week after that my girlfriend broke up with me after a 7 year relationship, couple of weeks after that I got told that the garage space I was renting for extremely cheap was sold and I had to find a new place. Found a new place, got surgery on the cancer, had a few months of recovery, went back to work, rent was now 4 times more, while I was doing the move and dealing with the cancer my customers found new places. I ended up with not enough customers, couldn’t pay the rent, had to close shop. Now I’m even more depressed, out of money and I have no idea what to do, how to get out of this hole. Most of the solutions I’ve come up with are on the darker side but as for now, I’m still being too stubborn to quit things. I have a feeling that I’ll reevaluate the situation when autumn arrives.

    But hey, at least the cancer is gone.





  • Oh right, I forgot about that. The theme (or whatever its called) that I use doesn’t show the separate numbers, unless I put my mouse over the average number.

    But like I said, don’t worry about it too much. And I echo the other guy who said that you may have some weirdo following you and downvoting you, just wait it out. Maybe make a new account to get rid of them or whatever.

    If it were me, I wouldn’t care about such stuff.
