The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
How so? Has the public opinion pendulum swung so hard the other way that you can't say you're leftist in polite conpany?
🤨 No. The public opinion here is apparently that if you're not a Leftist, you are a bad person and therefore unworthy of her vagina. No woman is afraid of driving away men with her politics.
The options for politics on Hinge are Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Not Political, and Other.
Based on the little jabs I see on Hinge from women, they disapprove of men who list their politics as Not Political, because how can you be apolitical when there's a Nazi in the Whitehouse, ICE Ghestappo in the streets, ACAB, BLM, Trans Genocide Palestinian Genocide et cetera.
Some people who identify as Leftist just see it as being a good liberal. Other leftists are in the "liberals get the bullet too" camp where they hate the DNC, so calling themselves liberal feels yucky, thus "Other." They might be playing that stupid game where they pretend they have to hide their power level, but that's like claiming to be an oppressed Christian in Alabama.

IIRC Hinge doesn't have a "leftist" option.
