This is beyond true. It’s the mindset you bring to the table op. Don’t try to be something you’re not out something like that but you will have to try to be the version of yourself people want to talk to hang out with and be with. I know it’s not always sustainable but it’s much more important in the beginning.

You can confirm none of them work? They can work. Sometimes you have to give it time. I met my wife on tinder. The thing is it takes a while. I didn’t meet the love of my life on there after a single day or week. I was on the app for a couple years. It’s hit or miss and takes learning.

So sorry. I’m sure with lots of hard work, nepotism and education you too may some day be able to work at a McDonald’s of your own and get your prints stolen. Keep that head up champ and pull up hard on those boot straps! :)

Yeah companies don’t care. McDonald’s sold my fingerprint data. I used it to clock in and out for work. I got like a 50 dollar settlement or something so that was nice <3 ty Ronald

Yeah this is true. The TCL TV I have has an ad for Deadpool when I turn it on. It’s a dumb TV in the sense of it’s not connected to the Internet but it still has these from the brief period of time where it wasn’t during setup. The ROKU tvs are even worse imo it has like weird scrolling banner ads as a TV screensaver. We have a Roku TV as well.

Honestly fuck all the manufacturers I don’t even want a damn ‘smart’ TV and I’m also pissed at everyone else that enables this by not caring. I guess I helped perpetrate it also but I had no choice I would have bought differently if I could. A lot of people don’t mind having non-stop ads jammed down their throats though even by objects they own. The only time I think my TV should be showing me ads is if it’s literally free.

For me having a job I enjoy also correlates with money. I like my current job a lot but if I got really shitty pay for it I think I wouldn’t haha

I like how my social security card explicitly says not to be for identification and tax purposes only. But I need for absolutely fucking everything and to identify I’m a citizen. Can hardly sign up for a new email without a SSN. (Exaggerating of course about the email)

I don’t know how they think I could afford subscriptions for every object in my life. There’s no way

One thing I never understand is that all I ever hear about from Republicans is how old Biden is. While being true and not that I necessarily like Biden no one ever talks about how Trump is only three years younger. Biden has to answer for his age all the time but it’s not a thing Trump typically deals with

Yeah. I just don’t like trying to email 100+ authors haha. But you are right in general they do like to share most of the time

I need people to submit more of the research papers that I need to be able to read to lib Gen or sci hub

I was the same except I said it as “ibs” was quite a while I was thinking that when I was younger. My internal monologue still says it this way anytime I read it even though I know now

I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh

Getting a criminal record would definitely help me afford food

It’s been getting worse and worse for me too. Even things that I used to Google that would just come up so I could find it aren’t anymore.

The YouTube search must have had an update because now it’s entirely fucking worthless too even for searching only within itself. It’ll show two relevant results and the rest just garbage.

Honestly same as well

I worked at McDonald’s to be able to afford to go to college and they sold my fingerprint data. I got like 50 dollars in the mail for compensation. Always thought that was fucked. They probably made more selling it all than the settlement was. I should’ve gotten a lot

You have a lot of really good points here that I wish more people would think on

A little bit you talk about when the trees start to die and re release the carbon as if there aren’t new trees taking their place.

I understand that more carbon has been extracted than there was in circulation before. But in the same way that you hate rich people trying to get richer by selling offsets and planting trees it’s the same as this inventor and their shitty bricks. In my opinion it’s even less viable than environment restorations even though as we both agree they won’t all the way solve the problem. I do agree that no one’s come up with a real solution and we definitely need some kind of long term mega scale storage
