    I very much appreciate your (and everyone’s) generous replies.

    I see so much waste in the consumer world and I hate it. From little stuff like “why does every house in my neighborhood need a lawn mower and a crockpot and camping equipment - we could easily timeshare it” to being forced by urban planning to choose individual cars over public transit and sharing rides.



  • That’s definitely been my (m) experience with my wife. Only one data point doesn’t make a trend, I know. When she’s irritated or anxious, she rarely wants me to try to solve the problem.

    I saw a meme of a chat convo with one partner complaining about something and the other responding “are we in the venting phase or are we solution oriented?” (Paraphrasing due to bad memory.)

    I’ve started asking that (more nicely) and it has been great for our relationship. She accepts the annoyance of my asking, and I respect her answer. Only when/if she says “and now you can give me suggestions” do I indulge.

    I’m also reminded of the “it’s not about the nail” sketch. https://youtu.be/-4EDhdAHrOg

    You seem like a knowledgeable person, so I’ll bother you with an unsolicited question! Congratulations, do not resist.

    I have read a lot that I like about anarchism, socialism, communism, and other -isms. It feels worthwhile to narrow down my own leftist identity, but I’m struggling with how to do that.

    I feel like it might be necessary to identify both my ideal society, and the most reasonably achievable one towards which to work. Any tips?
