I don’t understand why more people don’t go no contact. Blood is meaningless when you have nothing that actually matters in common and the added layer that they don’t actually know who you are and might treat you like crap.

I finally gave up and went no contact 8 years ago and it alleviated so much stress and frustration. Anything I think I miss I have realized is a fantasy that never would happen anyways.

I deleted them all back around 2015. Only use this, and not seriously.

You grossly oversimplified what the Supreme Court basically “said,” and then posited a ridiculous assertion on top of it.

OP realllllly wants to be the main character.

I remember it when I was a kid. I also remember some people gave put more or less candy depending on how good your costume was. Felt incredibly judged in public. Hated Halloween for so many reasons.

You’ll get a lot further when you realize hiring managers also are lost and most listings are bullshit. And I mean they probably don’t even intend for it to be bullshit but that’s what corporatizing everything results in. Apply to stuff you only mostly fit. Don’t look for complete fit or ability to check every box. So many interviews and jobs wind up not being exactly as advertised. If you read it as literal, you’ll ace out tons of potential jobs that might have been just fine for you.

I have also had some success through my career emphasizing (with actual stories) how I know how to learn from others and on my own. So it’s okay that I don’t know every little thing, and then point to my past examples of adapting to unknown or unclear situations where I had to learn on the job.

Also people are very impressed by factual stories. Numbers, or specific details, etc. that give them the impression you aren’t lying. Tell about times when you actually did a thing. Not how you are able to, but give an example of a problem and how you overcame. Even from school projects, team projects, thesis work. Anything.

Almost every case of movie purists. The Hobbit trilogy was great. The new Star Wars trilogy was great. The old ones are great too.

I have similar issues with music and video games. I almost always love the most hated albums or games in a series based on the loudest commentary online. I also find the most popular entry to be kind of meh. I think average people have boring taste or just follow a crowd or something.

People actually do that you know. Maybe you can too if you spend less time on Boomer type of thoughts.

You mean the idiotic hype machines?

Haha. I never understand the VPN bullshit. Yiu wanna get around local limitations? Okay. But most people argue privacy. Hide your online activity from your ISP by PAYING some other company to instead see all of your activity?

Just stupid. All companies will eventually screw you.

Anyways, OP’s post seems unreal. Like a caricature of everything. Is OP trolling in the first place? I have literally never thought that much about rule34, but OP has quite the imagination there. Not sure why their mind goes there.

I think the best kept secret to learn is to stop giving a shit what anyone else thinks and just be you and live how you wanna live. That’s when being an adult is freeing. Stop caring about how others perceive you. Just tune the bullshit out and live your best life.

In some cases, this requires cutting toxic people out of your life, even if they were family.

Sounds like a Boomer. Only their experience is of note?

Universal Healthcare.

Set aside the politics. The cars are trash. Horribly made. People are idiots for buying them.

But based on store product, I was damn sure its apparently already been Christmas for a month.

Oddly defensive response you have.

The sound of a horny Platypus reaching climax?

Most research papers are likely ad valid as an average reddit point.

Getting published is a circlejerk, and rarely are they properly tested, or does anyone actually read them.

Interesting how experiences shape us. Glad it sounds like you have mainly positives with respect to your parents.

I altered my wording. Thank you. I meant it as perspective. 10% today would equate to more than all of Europe.

Both and a spectrum mix in-between. There are no simple answers to things.
