Extremely common. I got into this unfortunate habit of hitting post and then editing typos afterward, and I think it increased the amount I do it by a lot.

My dad is still working on accepting that I’m not going to be able to work an enjoyable job in my life lol.

The AI doesn’t understand anything in any language. It’s just putting words in order by their association.

standard American big weekly trip + a few small trips, like a single bunch of spinach or a single carton of oat milk. American products are portioned to be family sized, so you’ve got a few days worth when you buy something.

Steal, guys. The word is steal.

I haven’t done any research into this idea, but I was thinking it could be a fair compromise to have unrestricted state visas . As in, the visa is only valid to live and work in that state. This would allow each state to flexibly respond to the labor needs of its economy each year. Then federal citizenship can be a restricted process, and limit migration to states that can’t utilize the extra labor.

But yeah they’ll probably come up with a massively insufficient increase and pretend it’s progress.

There isn’t a limit to filing them. There are a TON of limits to winning them though.

I answered the question, “If you had to commit a misdemeanor in 60s, what would you do?” and then used another account.

First one got overturned by the mod, but then the account got banned for ban evasion. When I didn’t break the rule in the first place. /shrug

As long as we can connect to the outside world, it can’t be catastrophically restricted. We’ll just be more like viewers of social advancements instead of participants.

I set a resolution to go to the gym 100 times this year, and I predict there is no way in hell I’m hitting that.

I graduated at 26. It’s now 4 years later, and I had to literally use a calculator to count how old I was. I say this to emphasize how little I care now, in contrast to how embarrassed I was at the time. I am now in law school at 30. Most of the people around me are 3-5 years younger, and it doesn’t matter at all. Nobody treats me differently or excludes me. Lots of people change careers all of the time. The needs of the economy change and you do your best. Most people aren’t privileged enough to be insulated from the state of the economy. Sometimes people are unemployed, or experiencing health crises, or helping their family. We all have our own issues and run our own race, and it’s better to make progress than be stagnant.

There cannot be a 2nd civil war. We have a nationalized military. States do not have their own armies and they are not trying to raise them. We have nuclear weapons all around the country. We are past the point where civil war is possible. At best, a single city might try to barricade itself off.

There is literally no way they will be able to prevent that from breaking the law.

This is so culturally dependent on the town. People have things they like to do already, just make those things available to them in a pleasant space.

As a law student, I wish I had the math skills and work ethic to become an accountant. Just a basic 40 hrs/week, make a living wage, and go home.

That’s normal. Children are supposed to bond with their parents until adolescence. It means your parents did a good job.

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by Dr. David Burns. Look, if we can teach the kids chemical formulas, surely we can teach them the basics of emotional regulation? No?

He lost the popular election 80-20, forcibly took over the government, violently suppressed protests, and has silenced and jailed numerous opposition members. All in the midst of a prolonged economic collapse resulting in famine and mass exodus. Yeah, he’s unpopular.

Maduro was extremely unpopular but literally nobody in Venezuela asked for the US to attempt a hostile takeover.
