  • I hope the process is almost automated

    IIRC it is, but they do receive notice. One specific victim gets mail at least weekly of new offenders having been caught with her material. She gets an automatic cut each time, but I honestly wonder if I would want it at that point...

  • No, it's none of that. It's that in my over four decades of life, I've never once lived up to my OWN potential, and despite trying my best, giving up, trying again, ... countless times, I've still never managed to markedly improve my station in life, or my enjoyment of it.

    I know I have everything I need to be capable, smart, confident person, but I've never BEEN any of those things, even fleetingly, so I can't really even imagine how it would be like.

    Pathethic, I know.

  • Not ghetto but simply very basic, rural living. The house I grew up in did not have indoor plumbing. The toilet was outside in an outhouse, just a plank with a hole in the middle above a cesspit. My parents were split up and my mother got the absolute minimum pay and my father wasted his wages on alcohol and women. So there were few luxuries during my youth.

    Today I'm 41 and I'm BARELY above that level of poverty. If I lose my job for whatever reason it's back to that kind of life.

    That was in the '80s in Western Europe, by the way. Today this situation has become a lot more rare but it's not gone yet.

  • My only remaining ambition after age 40 was to be a worthwile human being at the very least (because that bar is very low) and I can't even do that.

    Some people are born broken, not necessarily through any fault of their own. But maybe I don't even clear that barrier and am simply useless to anyone. Oh well.

  • Let's be real; everyone on board knew there was no chance the ship would be allowed to moor and offload its goods. It was a photo op. But still a good one since it helps show what Israel is doing in Gaza. They also knew there was very little chance of them actually getting hurt as Israel does care about optics when it involves high profile foreigners. The second they kill someone like Greta all hell would break loose. Which is in sad, stark contrast to the thousands of innocents they've killed with nary a peep from the rest of the world.

  • What I'll NEVER understand is that the plans were just there, out in the open. Anyone could visit the websites and see in explicit detail what they planned to do ("the revolution will remain bloodless as long as the left allows it to be"), project 2025, and people STILL voted for them.
