happiness, alternate realities and drugs
If you deny people being happy, then they will find ways to be happy.
If it means using substances, they will do so.
If it means creating their own world, where they can be happy, because you prohibit so in yours, then they do so.
People have an innate need to be happy and you can nothing do to stop them.
Even if you condone escapism, you won't stop people from being happy and the only thing that gets /you/ is a fist in your face.

Okay, Random thing here that nobody will care about but this particular set of hand pruners is the very best you can possibly get.
They're superior to every other set of hand pruners I've ever used in my decade long career, and everyone should have a set for general non-metallic shearing activities.
The safety closure doesn't jam and it's hard to trip by accident, the blade can handle stuff you'd have to bust out the Loppers for, and the anvil is articulated, which doesn't sound like much, but it's goddamn crucial.
And the mostly plastic construction means they're just the right weight and almost unbreakable. And they don't misalign like snap cuts, don't flex like bypass pruners, and the blade is made of proper steel. As long as you're not an idiot and snip a bunch of steel wire with them, they'll last for years.
“Woman” and “man” need not be opposite genders.
Those are just two genders out of multitudes that we have been taught to prioritize.
Recognizing this is part of breaking the binary.

Keri: this is a weird feeling but like... A lot of my trans friends end up leaving us feeling like our meatsuit never really got the puberty memo at all.
I really wish the early '00s were a better time to be genderqueer. Then again, at the time we were uh... Well, too fat to have hormones do any real Good.
Now, Tho...
@Dingy_Rat I really wish people who genuinely believe that could spend a good year separated from their wealth and fancy houses and cars and clothing, live on a very limited income with the only jobs available to them being low end blue collar jobs, and see just how easy that really is.
