Are you mot going to respond the commenters points? He went to the trouble of reading the article, and you've complained that you can't discuss this because people won't listen to what's being said. So here's your chance.
People act like this hasn't been a thing for over a century...
Just installed. Looks good. I've been using transdrone and it works well, but your app supports torrent searching, which is very cool.
Yeah, I'm probably not in the market for a fold phone, given I'm not a gentle owner. But of money was no object, I would get a trifold, because it feels meaningfully larger, and a more appropriate aspect ratio. The current folds really underwhelm me, even if they were so overpriced.
Oh I improvise, and I never really plan meals beyond grabbing stuff at the shop. I try to use stuff up before it goes off, and am willing to eat stuff even when it's past it's best. When I have time I try to make stuff even just to freeze for later, but that's hard with a packed schedule.
But it's not easy, and sometimes I'm jealous of people who are satisfied with eating things repeatedly and eating to a routine. Since I love food, and love eating different things, I need to buy a good variety of fresh ingredients. But I'm disorganised and not good at going to market, visiting the butcher, etc. So we end up running out of food and just eating the same old things or stuff from the freezer. Or I buy too much when I go out, and then a week later the reblochon is stinking up the fridge, but I can't make tartiflette until we eat the salmon which is now kinda out of date but I don't have time to make a proper shellfish stock til the weekend...
Balancing "tasty food" + "limited waste" is easy if you work out a clear plan and stick to it. But either you have to do that once and give up on variety, or plan and organise every week and that's well above my executive function level.
You don't want to mess about with that democracy nonsense. We've had a monarchy that has worked decent for a millennium, and you want it replace it with some untested, newfangled system?
Don't know why you're getting down voted. Bots and media manipulation are a thing, Russia and many governments are almost certainly doing it on different scales. But you make a good point that our own governments are doing it do, and even before social media stories were prompted or hushed up for reasons other than newsworthiness or public interest. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's basic media history of the last century.
Saw a Ted talk that said the same thing. The guy over came some social anxiety by actively putting himself in an awkward situation each day (his was asking if he could get his coffee for free at the coffee shop). Once he got use to low stakes situations where people were surprised, confused or mildly judgemental (but also amused or just disinterested) it was easier to do things that actually mattered without worrying about people's reactions. And he got a few free coffees.
You mean Christopher "that's not the sound a man makes when he is knifed in the back" Lee?
I mean, I agree, I'm not going to be losing any sleep worrying about the unsatisfied billionaires. But what he's saying is that given the cost (losing 30 years of his life) the 'reward' ($35 billion) wasn't enough. He's not saying he doesn't like or want the money, he's saying its not enough to give up your life for.
If anything, it would explain why rich people keep pursuing money long after any sane person would be content with their millions/billions. Maybe if you just get given a few million you could be satisfied with it, but if you've had to sacrifice your life, friends, morality and so on to get it... And you realise it doesn't actually make you happy, so you keep chasing more, hoping that eventually enough will be enough. Better that than realising you're an idiot who fell for capitalism's big lie and gave up the stuff that actually mattered in life to get more numbers on a sheet.
I remember when everyone was excited about playing Pokemon Go and wishing that there was a way to do something similar but in the wilderness rather than cities. I wanted to be able to wander around the wilds trying to encounter strange and rare creatures. Then I realised I had just invented birdwatching.
Almost every part of this is wrong. But I suspect op's parents do have better music taste than them.
