Pretty rough to be dumped into adult life dealing with all that, hope things are going better! Always helps me to remember that even the best of us make tons of mistakes every day. Not sure why little phrases can have so much power though.

Many of us played video games because we lacked any social structure in our lives. TV and video games make people feel like they aren’t alone, even when they are.

Its just my opinion but I think you can remedy that by creating a supporting social environment for the whole family to be part of, regardless of what hobbies someone’s into.

Edit to add: I didnt mean to imply you should go do this, its just what I think helps prevent the issue.

Can I add, anecdotally, how many times ive seen people who take adderall daily try another stimulant like coke or meth and say something like: “This doesnt feel much different than adderall at all,” or “I thought this stuff would be stronger.”

Its like people taking oxycontin but thinking heroin is this scary potent drug. People have no idea what they are playing with.

The lack of emotions is awful. Going to family events or friends parties and it might as well feel like I’m at the grocery store. People tell funny jokes and I make a weird mouthy smile to pretend I’m normal.

They might make it easier to do work you otherwise would not want to do, but the cost is absurd in my opinion.

Cured is the same as remission, which is what you are describing you are in now. Most doctors won’t say cured because it could come back in the future, so the term remission is used more often.

Theres also a ton of people, medical professionals included, that treat type two diabetes as a permanent problem with no possibility of reversing it. This leads to people focusing on the medication they need to take instead of the food they eat.

Interesting, I had never heard of an impingement oven!

I’m more inclined to believe these ceos have convinced themselves they are helping rather than hurting. Theres also some evidence c-suite people in general have a lower IQ than non-c-suite folk, so thats possible too.

You should steal her cell phone everytime she walks away from it, and throw it in a lake later on. Fuck her.

Air fryers are just convection ovens. Its baking it.

Or maybe you are being dense, who knows.

Because every developer uses the exact same processes and holds themselves to the exact same standards right?

Way to out yourself as someone who’s only read about the industry.

They just need to change everything about how they design and create the games to fit the new model.

The fact you have so many down votes is astounding to me. People really dont like to face that they may be wrong or biased about something. Easier to tap the down vote and scroll on.

I’d be shocked if his family helps him in any way.

His upbringing doesnt diminish his activism. The consequences for him are the same as a poor person as well.

Essentially you have it right, although I wouldnt say charities should dissolve as a rule. If there aren’t enough people to do the work with the right goal in mind though I dont think the answer is to pay more and get capitalists in the door.

I have a strong aversion to greed minded people in general though so I’m very biased here.

Cool, and you never try to understand anyone else’s point. Have you considered working as a lawyer?

Jumping to conclusions is about claiming things are or will happen without reason. You could be right and jump to a conclusion at the same time.

I will say this election didnt change who America is as a country though.

Then how is that relevant to bring up when talking about an elected position like the US president? Who appointed trump president again? Is it the american people?
