Because the same people profiting from this system bankroll the media and politicians. And when those kinds of things are discussed in media, it flies over people’s heads because media literacy isn’t really common.

Worst thing is I know better and still cant keep my damn mouth shut
OP didn’t cut off her mum because of her identity, they did so because their mum didn’t respect them or their wishes. Have a good day, dude, you’re a lost cause.
Not very polite or reasonable ngl
Thanks for the thorough explanation! I’ll keep an eye on this.
Mr Samuel Streamer is my daily bread. Funny dude. Never miss a video.
Cleared it up, thanks! So, going forward, how’s it looking for the socialist party? How is the whole thing gonna play out? I’m entirely unfamiliar to how the spanish political system works. If it was similar to my country, elected leader (do you guys have a president?) would be locking horns all term long with congress and getting absolute jack shit done.
Not spanish, correct me if I’m wrong: conservative/alt right majority was narrowly avoided by socialists and there might be a second round of elections soon?
Has your SO tried books? Ebooks or audiobooks could be helpful. They could try reading a book they are already familiar with in english, that way they wouldn’t have to put too much effort into getting acquainted with characters and plots, and focus into pronounciation, grammar and slang.
Also, music. Paying attention to the lyrics helps with learning new words, though ig metaphors, similes, etc., would be tricky, if not an even better learning experience.
This. The two times I’ve noticed my spoken english getting better were when I worked at a call centre and when I spent hours and hours on my clan’s Discord back during New World’s release. Plus, it allowed me to really see what weaknesses I could address by just asking people I was hanging out with how they would pronounce a word. I’ve recently started to have the same thing going with Battlebit, but I haven’t found a group to game with.
If OP’s SO is at all interested in history, Overly Sarcastic Productions has a discord channel and people there are beyond nice. If Gaming is an interest, there’s tons of niche content creators with their own discord to just chat in.
Used to swim when I was a kid, was pretty good too apparently. Coach wanted to put me in a pre-15 y/o (10-15 y/o) competition when I was 6 or 7. Got cold feet and dipped out. I dunno if I could take it as an alternative though, I’ve done it now and again but it feels like running. I prefer HIT and even that I don’t love.
That “big rock make sad voices go away” bit had me hollering ngl. Very relatable.
I enjoy the simplicity of weightlifting. Make sure your form is good, count reps, count sets, take note of the weight lifted. All of that keeps my mind occupied for 2h, no room for it to wander into topics I’d rather not think about atm.
I also find some measure of joy out of knowing I’m lifting more today than I was last week, it’s simple and measurable progress. No room for subjective bias, unlike other things I’m trying to improve upon.
It also has the added benefit of tiring me out. GAD and ADHD make for horrible bedfellows, they’ve made nights sleepless for me more often than not, so I’ll take any help I can get.
Edit: otoh, I hate cardio with a passion. Its boring and does nothing but make me sweat and lets my mind wander. I’ve tried everything, from music, to audiobooks, to podcasts. Plus, I feel like I run loudly, like my feet are made of lead, and I don’t like being loud.
For a time I felt like that. There was this girl with I had been friends with for about a decade. She had been there through my best and worst and put up with my shit. Then I got worse, kinda pushed her away, and we stopped talking. For a while I felt like I missed her (in reality I had feeling for her), but with some time I realized we also grew apart because we grew into different people, and that’s fine. I missed the feeling, not the person, and the feeling likely won’t come back.
We got the moves - Electric callboy. Popped into my recommended when it released, with me having 0 knowledge about the band or what they’re all about. Just saw this dude in a weird costume and apparently it’s techno? Not the kind of music I like, gave it a try anyway. Then it got fucking wild. Not a day goes by without at least one EC song since then.
Thanks! There’s still dark days but I’ve learnt healthy ways to deal.
I had 1 goal. 7y ago I tried to buy an express ticket to thoughts and prayers but the gun jammed. Good thing too, .22 HP probably would’ve only blown my face off. Made a deal with myself, get better within 7y or try again. I’m back in the gym, doing therapy, finished my degree, and getting to know myself better. Still between jobs but… Hey, can’t have everything. Trying to emigrate but that’s a bit beyond the horizon atm. That’s the next goal.
But you could add some truck nuts behind every train car and some bull horns on the front.
