Yeah they dangle this carrot in front of us every 4 years but never do a god damn thing about it.
Man’s Search for Himself - Rollo May
I feel the same. There’s a music video of the song Pursuit of Happiness (the megaforce version) where the guy keeps trying to get off the couch but somehow always finds himself back on it. That resonated hard with me.
I think it’s because now we have 1,000 things competing for our time and attention. It’s nowhere near as easy to not get distracted anymore, yet all people do is criticize (lazy, unmotivated, etc). It’s real.
It’s a pickle for sure, and how can we tell when YouTube is pulling us to watch more vs. when we genuinely just want to relax and watch some vids. And if you’re doing something else SOLELY because you don’t want to watch YT, well, it’s still YT that’s deciding what you’re doing, not you.
I don’t want to write a novel here, but this is something I’ve been thinking about on and off for a while.
Yeah nothing like working the factory for 18 hours lol

For $120 a year the Kia boys can total your car anyway!
Same here! Spent about $100 for my vasectomy after insurance. Best $100 I ever spent really, saved me hundreds of thousands.
Instead of communication it’s co-meme-ication.
Idk it’s early
Well when most employers can fire you at any time for almost any reason (at-will employment) and your healthcare is tied to your job then… yeah, employers can treat their employees pretty poorly and get away with it, especially if you work in something like fast food or big box retail where plenty of young, unskilled workers are entering the workforce every year that they can replace you with.
It’s cozy here :)
You don’t need to get married or have kids to have a happy and fulfilling life
You should call them “box that absorbs all light” and “box that absorbs no light” you fucking racist
I want a pokemon RPG game. Give me a type- specific skill tree that I as a trainer can earn xp and level up. Fire moves deal +10% dmg, burn chance up +5%, water moves deal -10% dmg, etc. Maybe some general ones too like catch chance +5%, wild pokemon encounters -10% (or +10%), money earned +10%, etc.
So many trainers seem to be focused on one or two specific types, why not encourage the player to do the same? Allow players to re-spec with the professor if they want to change things up.
So tired of the same gameplay just being given a new coat of paint.
It’s not the tuition? The same tuition that has risen 70% in the last 20 years? The same tuition that colleges know they can charge any amount cuz the government will give out loans regardless. That’s not the issue?
I’m not saying colleges aren’t getting less state funding but I just don’t see colleges lowering tuition if they got more state funding. They’d keep charging more cuz they know they can.
Better solution would be a cap on tuition imo.
But even no interest loans or at the very least let them be discharged in bankruptcy would be better than what we have.
Hmmm… I guess never having my shoes come untied. That seems B-tier enough lol

Turbo Kid (Mad Max type dystopian future, one of my favorite movies ever but I’ve only been able to find it on YouTube or “free streaming”. It’s Canadian and their blu-rays don’t work in the U.S.)
I mean if my grocery store app could track my purchases and then give me a suggested weekly grocery list based on meals it knows I like or ate before that would be incredible. Hell I’d pay for that lol.
