You mean another one?

Sounds like natural selection to me

Never accept criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.

I’ll make you a pair that looks just like them for half that

Learn new skills. Learn to weld. Learn to solder. Learn to wire up basic electronics. Learn how to build radios. Go camping. Adopt a dog from the shelter and see how many tricks you can teach them. Learn and master anything. Creation is the key to fulfillment and the antidote to consumption. Meet younger people and talk to them about how they can and why they should dismantle the capitalist machine.

Despite having your needs satisfied, you sound unfulfilled. More money won’t necessarily change that.

People say, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life,” but the truth is the opposite. When you do something every day, you become good at it. That skill, that proficiency fosters enjoyment and leads to us loving what we do. I’m not in my career field because I love it, I love what i do because I’m very good at it and mastery is its own reward.

Are you certain there’s no way to monetize your PhD? Surely you could teach with those credentials?

If you see a snake coiling up and preparing to strike, do you wait until it bites you to stop it?

If you have a cold, do you wait until you’re in the hospital to take medicine?

When a man declares his intent to harm you, at that point, any violence against him becomes justified on the basis of self-defense. When a group of people declare their intent to harm all others, at what point does violence against that group become justified on the same basis?

If you’re from the US, I used to hate the flavor and texture of broccoli and asparagus too. What I found is, the reason why I hate it is because most people here boil the living piss out of their broccoli and asparagus until it’s mushy and bland, then slap a bunch of salt and butter on it for “flavor.”

I started broiling or roasting my broccoli and asparagus in the oven. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll lightly brush on some butter or oil and sprinkle some garlic or garlic salt. Very light butter/oil, just enough to make the seasoning stick.

The result is crunchy veggies, crispy edges, and a balanced flavor. If you haven’t tried them prepared that way before, I’d recommend trying it for a low-risk snack on a day you have a backup ready to go.

When I encourage people to not be picky eaters, I’m not coming from a place of judgement. Food is one of the most wonderful, universally human pleasures we can experience. It saddens me when people’s experiences with food are limited by simply not knowing any better.

That’s not an unpopular opinion, that’s just understanding how cooking works.

My wife is like this with mushrooms. She tried a plain, raw mushroom once and didn’t like it. On that basis, she refuses to eat anything with mushrooms in it. I’ve tried explaining that mushrooms are like shrimp, they taste like whatever you cook them in, but to no avail. Thankfully, they’re not a favorite of mine, so it isn’t a huge deal.

Idk then. Maybe a mod deleted it? Maybe OP was banned? Maybe the poster’s instance went defunct?

Since I live in reality, where there’s no such thing as ghosts or hauntings, it wouldn’t have any effect on my decision.

Yeah, that too. I block the notification element with my adblocker

That just means OP deleted their post. This can happen for many reasons, but the most common is they get embarrassed at the replies, decide they don’t want it on their post history, or they think the downvotes mean something, like on Reddit

Technical inaccuracy can also spoil a punchline

Well, what is it doing now?

But all the other forms of market manipulation are fine. Lol
