  • I get job contracts for a few months at a time. Sometimes there are months when I’m unemployed, and those are hard on my savings. I used to do just fine, but this year has been very difficult and my normal savings are pretty much gone. (I still got some in funds/investments though.) So basically, I had a buffer but I had to use it, and now I have nothing. I guess it’s because of the rise in prices? I don’t “waste” money on frivolous things like I might have in the past, but it’s only getting more and more difficult. Add to this student loans. I wouldn’t have €1000 to spare for an unexpected expense. I am really angry at society, to be honest. If the job market wasn’t so ass, I wouldn’t have to deal with these short contracts.











  • I LOVE the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the historic city of Uruk (Warka) is in modern day Iraq. In that way, I have a lot of respect for the history. However, I would be too scared to travel there, for example. I hope truly that now after ISIS war, things keep getting better for the people there. I don’t hear many news from there anymore, though I wouldn’t mind hearing.









  • Asexual does not and has never meant “not interested in sex”. An asexual person is someone who doesn’t experience sexual attraction. It’s a sexual orientation.

    –Heterosexual = Sexually attracted to opposite sex

    –Homosexual = Sexually attracted to same sex

    –Bisexual = Sexually attracted to both

    –Asexual = Sexually attracted to nothing and no one

    (To put it simplified.)

    This meme is about someone coming out as asexual (= does not experience sexual attraction) and some asshole is telling them that they’re not actually asexual but that they don’t feel sexual attraction because of trauma. More often than not, no such trauma actually even exists. But people who deny the existence of asexuality insist that it’s not a real sexual orientation, and if asexuals got over this non-existent “trauma”, they would be “cured” into being “normal”.
