Nothing changes until the government reprioritizes which system is in play and then it becomes a global problem. I think we both want the same thing, but the reality is we aren’t getting it until it gets much worse and/or blood spills and I have neither the capacity nor the appetite for either.

Being blunt. I am 48 and have 3 kids to feed and 2 have disabilities. I have no interest in the risk that comes with doing something pro bono on the hopes it will work especially when everyone else is doing it pro bono. There’s no immediate individual incentive.

I may want socialism but I live in a capitalist world. I can’t have me and my family survive on good feelings.

I personally think it is that western culture is a disease. We have lost our connection to nature. We don’t have a community. We don’t have a family. We are exceedingly living in Ayn Rands dystopian individualist bullshit and it is corrupting on the soul.

Big ups my GenX peeps. Last generation to know how to do things offline 🤣🤣🤣

That you know of!

Yeah!

You’re 100% correct. My youngest son is autism and will 100% be with me perpetually. I’m open to the other two staying longer too, but not for a free ride and not forever. I received no handouts in life and it made me who I am. Life is not easy.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Life sucks and doesn’t care about you. I’d rather my kids learn this from someone who loves them conditionally than from some random asshat that doesn’t give a shit.

If you’re looking for a participation medal for existing don’t expect one from me.

Child here that moved out at 18 and now a parent to 3.

I hear you, and I know the status quo is changing but fuck me I want my kids out at 18. I lived in shitty roach infested places in horrible neighbourhoods. I’ve wondered how I would have money for food let alone rent. That’s life. That’s growing. I want them to experience that because without the bad times you don’t learn to appreciate the good ones.

I know I’m alone in this sentiment I don’t care. I will always be there for my kids in true times of need and I know the world now isn’t the world of 30 years ago but fuck it. Survive or Thrive.

To me they’re not sequels maybe that’s the difference. Raimi has been open about handing young directors the keys to see what their vision is. If anything I view ED as more of an anthology at this point all the same and yet all different

2013 slaps you shut your whore mouth! /s

Also Evil Dead is something that has never had a bad iteration. Fight me.

Can it also be the summer of George? Lol

something stupid.

Say no more.

CI/CD If right should be including a try: AI except: no AI

It never existed who are you delusional people?! Lol

Do you work with a team/department? Just say let’s go out for dinner/drinks after work. Just like outside work expect maybe 50% to commit.

Same as any relationship you just ask. Make it easy and do a group drinks after work first then if you hit it off plan something.

I swear as someone who overthinks everything it amazes me I don’t with this and other people do lol

Yes

I’m in the GTA. Asians here. They fucking love Tesla’s.

It’s interesting because I was talking to my psychologist about this last week.

Mental illness runs in my extended family specifically my best friend is a functional alcoholic. He grew up the son of a functional alcoholic.

We all agree that alcoholism is an addiction, just like gambling, social media, etc.

The problem is that as a society we are addressing the specific addiction. AA for alcoholics. For gambling the government has programs you can admit yourself to.

What I was postulating to my psychologist is the real problem is some people have un underlying susceptibility to addiction. My experience with addicted people is regardless of good or bad if you remove an addiction they will replace with an unhealthy obsession on something else. Alcohol will be replaced with something else because the problem is the person has an imbalance they can’t do something in moderation. I’ve seen this time and time again.

Plus factor in comorbidities like ADHD and you have a stew going.

My point being, yes you’re correct tech is a problem, but it’s 100% the people too in some cases it’s just without the social media their addiction may have been benign so not visible. “Oh look at Mary with her beanie baby collection.” Or “oh look at Jack he really is a go getter running his 10k rain or shine every day.”

They don’t have good engineers because Oracle is a law firm pretending to be a tech company.

We call this the IBM business plan.

Hey Ive seen people dressed like that!
