Totally fair. I’m in a similar boat on family. I’m going to reach the age soon where it’s no longer a realistic option for me to change my mind on. But I’ve seen it go sideways enough not to want it and I like my current situation.

That be said, human contact is important. Even if that means working retail like Lowes or Home Depot on the weekend just to push you to interact with people. Or if you prefer, there are plenty of communities out there whether that be religion, book clubs, or even the freemason’s for that matter. I have a few family members in that. Communities that support you. It’s been rough working from home the last few years with minimal human contact.

Boil-em, mash-em, stick-em in a stew?

Between Democrats and Republicans, which one has the ideology of small government? Not what they do, what is the official rhetoric? I have never in my life heard that be a Democrat position but I have certainly heard it as a Republican position.

Not that it matters, I’m sure I could find a different example if what I said doesn’t make sense unless it’s an ideology you accept as Republican.

Oh I definitely do. Probably something I should work on.

Right… Because every single Republican position is Nazi ideology. Like… small government. Nazi’s were notoriously small government… Right? Talk about false equivalencies, have you looked in a mirror?

You know what was a Nazi position? Socialized healthcare. Does that mean Democrats are the Nazi party?

Find the best paying job you can and start investing ASAP. My biggest regret is not investing sooner. It doesn’t even need to be substantial. Anything will snowball, the amount just makes it snowball faster.

Honestly I’d skip college at this point. Even programming jobs are rare now days. Get a trade job. Something that becomes good paying like electrician or plumber. It’s hard on the body, but if you invest well, you might be able to retire before it becomes a problem.

If you want a family, don’t wait for the “right time”. There is always going to be something going on in your life and the world. If you want kids, best to have them while you have the energy to play with them. They can also serve as your reason to get out of bed and reach for more instead of a void in your life that keeps you in bed. This assumes family is important to you of course.

If you like cheese does that make you a Packers football fan? What if you also like purple? Does that make you a Vikings fan instead?

I’m confused, you say you can’t be both and also say you have to be one, so which is true for this example? Is this person a Vikings fan or Packers fan? (U.S. football analogy)

Did you miss the part where you called everyone who is not left leaning, nearly as bad as a warmongering genocidal dictator? Which one of us was uncivil first?

Edit: ah, I was thinking you were the person I originally responded to. Still strange for you to support that person though.

And a Democrat in hiding. They are a triple quadruple agent who votes based on their beliefs rather than a party name. It’s some crazy shit.

Let me rephrase that then: “don’t draw the eye of sauron. It hurts the people around you.”

The odds of you getting sick from lettuce or comparable to getting struck by a lightning. Eat some fucking lettuce

Probably AI generated.

You don’t want to replace your windows every month?

I mean, we could just make a second dead sea. Or do an advertising campaign to make sensory deprivation tanks popular.

Abusing platforms is a great way to burn their good will and get them to bring down the hammer, making things harder for regular people. Please don’t do this.

I don’t think AI was the problem here. It was someone who didn’t know what they were doing using AI and not bothering to learn what the AI did.

Like hiring a jr developer, giving them Prod access and telling them to have fun and make a site.

Ah, I see you are one of those smooth brained pricks who sees any form of religion as evil, even though it has also saved many people. To be clear, I’m an atheist, but that doesn’t mean my beliefs are inherently healthier than someone living for a cause greater than themselves.

Don’t be a twat. I very highly doubt you don’t hold some conservative views.

There is a difference between views and actions. So much horrible shit was done in the name of religion xyz. Does that make the religion inherently bad, or the people who did bad things in the name of it? Views and what is done because of those views are not one in the same.

For example. You could be upset about illegal migration. That is largely a conservative talking point. How you solve that could be evil like genocide, or something like making the immigration process actually possible in less than a decade.

Well yeah, I can’t imagine you can lick when you’re deep throating the boot.

Never even been ticketed before. I imagine you’re far more likely to end up in prison than I am.
