Thinking about how Zoro may have mixed and complicated feelings about Koushirou because on one hand that’s his sensei and he was taught to respect his sensei, but on the other hand he caused his own daughter, Zoro’s best friend, so much pain and constantly berated her to her face about how she’ll never be strong like the boys nor will she ever inherit the dojo. Like. Zoro cannot have one straight forward opinion on this man, he HAS to have some back and forth opinions on this guy I mean come on!

To be real with you, my goal in life is to work as little as possible. If it means getting a new job every year, every other year — whatever it is, I’ll do it. Just so the freedom i have will feel like free time. Spend doing whatever I desire. Drawing, painting, writing, enjoying nature & it’s creatures.

Sure I have goals, ambitions and desires, but I’d sooner die then make any of them a full time job, snuffing out the light they bring me in exchange for consistant work for consistant content. If they bring me riches by simply being made by me & people enjoying (and paying me), yay me. But never will i make what I love my full time job — unless I’m 100% in control of what/where/when. The goal is not to work and just be a trinquait lady, with a concerning obsession with vampires, a closet full of black garments, who enjoys cooking random dishes and sharing with whomever wishes to come over & feast whiles we talk about the universe.

And when I say that, people look at me crazy. But that’s okay, maybe I am crazy. I just know my lineage has too long of a history of slavery, and I’d like to end it with me — even if it’s modern day slavery. I shell never return to living to work. And do my best working little to live the fullest.

China raises retirement age for first time since 1950s

China will "gradually raise" its retirement age for the first time since the 1950s, as the country confronts an ageing population and a dwindling pension budget.

The top legislative body on Friday approved proposals to raise the statutory retirement age from 50 to 55 for women in blue-collar jobs, and from 55 to 58 for females in white-collar jobs.

Take a Spa Day, You Need It

Spas are strange places, and it heavily depends on which one you go to in regards to the experience you will get. However, taking a day to relax, get a nice massage, facial, etc, is crucial to our mental health. Some cultures already have daily rituals of taking designated time for relaxation, such as Spain and their mid-day siestas, or Greece's early retirement age and plentiful vacation days (please work out your EU debts though guys). On the other hand, Americans are absolute workaholics and happily slave away for corporations that hardly give them any paid vacation days if any at all. Not even Japan has such awful work benefits, and the work culture there is even more rigorous than in the States. There's no room for relaxation, only work with a side of a sedentary, unfulfilling lifestyle. There's plenty of attractions, parks, museums, and other landmarks that the United States has to offer, along with some of the most diverse natural beauty in the world, but our labor policies are that of the Gilded Age, with union busting and corporations willingness to abuse their political power being all too prevalent in such a modern time, taking all of this entertainment and leisure away from the workers and taking it all for themselves. We work ourselves to death just so a select few may enjoy the world, its offerings, as well as take leisure domestically (in the context of the U.S). To my workers in the U.S.A, carpe instrumenta productonis (seize the means of production) and carpe diem. Take a day off, call out, submit PTO, and even if they deny it, take that day off anyway, they'll survive without you, and they can't deny you a day off that you need. Don't keel over to them even if they beg you to come in, trust me, they don't care about you. Take care of yourself, get that back massage, and drink some nice alcohol, smoke some weed (responsibly of course), and completely relax, you deserve it.

I really enjoy your lore posts a lot! The Djura one you made recently is very well put. Hope you'll feel better soon!

Wait, I had like two posts about him recently, which one do you mean? xd Though they are roughly similar, only one is more serious than the other? I think that was less lore post and more me praising the character post, but thank you!

Djura symbolizes the exact kind of autonomy I respect and aspire for very much. Like I said once, he is the guy to insist writers should create anything as long as they appropriately tag their fanfics, as opposed to idea of banning the "problematic uwu" content gjhjfugjfjjkb

I see Brador as slightly similar vibe but a slightly more pessimistic? He ALSO encourages us to mind our own business instead of messing with something that will expire itself anyway but there is a difference between Djura's 'do not touch these beasts that can't harm people unless approached anyway, instead go hunt those roaming dangerous beasts!' and Brador's 'knowing horrible truth about how something happened and dismantling a place where the weakest must go to is not the flex that you think it is, it will avail nothing but ruining a fine system without guarantee you can offer something better instead'.

Yeah I know whereas Djura is objective and easy to conclude, Brador one is interpretation, but it seems so for me? Djura is 'Everyone must know their place in the scheme of things (affectionate)' but Brador is 'Everyone must know their place in the scheme of things (derogatory)'! Same vein how Ludwig is 'We must entrust the things smarter than us to cleanse the world from evil (affectionate)' but Logarius is 'We must entrust the things smarter than us to cleanse the world from evil (derogatory)'.

Djura is just more sympathetic and good faith! Again, rather ramblings than lore but I am glad someone likes me breaking down why this or that character is based, it is just that so far nobody is more based than him :thinking_emoji:

Also please remember that different rules/laws/practices might apply where you live, so don't just assume that if you've been married for 10 years you're eligible for X amount and so on...

the funniest thing about the tiktok tradwife craze is people learning financial abuse exists but like, as a hypothetical. "wait what if the relationship doesn't work out and you have nothing of your own and nowhere to go?" congratulations you figured out a common reason people remain in abusive relationships and why it's important to maintain some level of financial independence
