That's probably the only reason I clicked it. Honestly, kinda regret that I did because the author just seems like a dude yelling at the sky because he's wildly critical of the smallest things but doesn't offer up any solutions.
Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it's almost all she'll watch. She's had to get used to some of the...cultural differences...that Anime includes, but she's so used to it now that it barely registers any more.
Oh shit, that's right -- you just reminded me of a guy like this. Every "friendship" seemed to be transactional, and he didn't seem to understand friends who just wanted someone else to succeed with nothing in return.
I drink so much milk constantly throughout the days, almost never anything else, and haven't had this issue. I think you've gotta be predisposed to it as well.
Yeah, I probably should look at quitting and starting the business under my own LLC and running it local to me. I repair 3D printers for a living, and there's only like 5 places in the US that do so. So finding work closer to home isn't an option, but moving the work closer to home could suffice. I've certainly been mulling it over.
I live a good 40 minute drive to work; there is no way I could possibly bike to work. If I lived in Europe where everyone's cramped like a can of sardines, sure. But things are just too far apart here.
You probably know fewer than 20 people who live in poverty yet think you know everyone who's poor?
I'm surrounded by the dumb fucks in a deep red state in the country; nearly everyone I've ever interacted with my entire life lives in poverty. The fact that you have a RETIREMENT FUND AT ALL puts you well above that line.
You know what you can't have when you're in poverty? Retirement funds. Because it's considered equity and you're not allowed to have any in order to get government assistance. The only things exempt from that are your homesteaded house, and 2 cars (and only if both adults in the house are working!)
It's not very shortsighted, it's quite long-sighted. Everything has been shit since the 2008 crash. Absolutely dog-shit garbage. Wages haven't changed, everyone's already in the hole.
I'd have loved a few more years of floating it, but the writing has been on the wall for some time now. It's going to suck for everyone, I'm sure - but the market never corrected in 2008. It was going to happen some time or another - I'm just happy Republicans are going to be on the hook for it.
It's going to take 10 years to come back from this - but I suspect in doing so, we'll be in a better place in the long term. Last people who did this weren't re-elected for damn near 20 years. We've all said this was the last gasp of a dying political party. It's gonna suck, sure -- but I'm hopeful for the future and the rebound it will cause.
On top of it all, I've been using it as leverage to fuck with every Trump voter I see in my shop.
Honestly, we've needed this crash since back when Obama was president, and we got a bunch of propped up corporations. They socialized the losses, so to speak.
Nobody I know in poverty is affected by stocks, so fuck them all.
You can't point to Sweden or Finland because the rest of Europe is doing much better - by giving people proper psychological help, committing them when needed, and jailing them otherwise.
My argument is for committing these people to asylums and getting all of America the proper psychological and medical help they need, which puts people in these positions.
My position has never been "oh we can't help them all so why even try"...that's your misconception. And it's your own fault you don't understand the argument.
How about uh...stop using social media? I barely ever touch my smartphone, I only use it for E2E encrypted messaging apps, email, and maybe the occasional phone call.
You don't need to get rid of the phone to do this shit.
I repair 3D printers for a living, this was dropped or slammed into something else. That connector on the v2 is NOT a flimsy plastic. But you're right, you can just print another one. The belts don't have to be so tight; at best "snug".
