Single women are buying more houses. The men they are dating are not responding well

Female home owners report feeling stuck between men’s contradictory expectations – they are told to be independent, but not assume the breadwinner role

Yeah, ebay turning into yet more "doom" has kinda happened for me as well. Current inflation & tariffs has turned me from my long time hobby of "flash foss OS onto random cheap device no one expect one on" into "guess I really don't need that thing anyway." Whether this is saving us from more rampant consumerism, or just ending with more stuff being dumped into landfills as e-waste, all depends on your perspective.

So yesterday I saw a pamper studio for little girls to go to for “pamper parties”. They get to wear pink satin wraps & be “pampered”. Or groomed to be passive trophy wives of rich capitalists. 🤮Am I overreacting?

The price of #marijuana is going down because people don't have any money. If you withdraw your #consumerism, you can force a lot of things and you will think differently and you will come up with new ideas that you haven't had before that I bet will be better. Why does #oil appear the #exception?
I said that to tell you that can be a weapon cuz if you #withdraw your #consumerism down to what is necessary and reasonable, more leverage. Here's my real world example. People are looking to lower anxiety, yes? For some people like #MissKitty, #marijuana really works. That is her #medicine.
...welp...that was a long, harrowing, and traumatic journey...but, ive made it alive and whole to my new destination and even managed to get some uninterrupted sleep.

i have SO much more to say than when i left the den0fTerror, (especially about #capitalistic greed, the evils caused by ritualized #consumerism, and the terrors of it being #illegal2behomeless), but first imma catch up on what i missed in the world/fedi and what you lovely folks have been discussing...ive missed every1 here. 💚

“It’s not cultural or political divisions that have turned our world upside down, but the relentless quest for corporate profit fueling consumerism.
Just as the film delves into the bleak impact of global consumption; it captures something remarkable: a growing awareness as people begin to wake up to the reality of the system we’ve been trapped in.”
– Adam McKay
