I feel like it’s not my right to be happy unless I can impress in some way, like through work or academia. Everyone else has surpassed me and I can’t impress anywhere, so I just feel like I don’t deserve happiness anymore.

Same, and honestly it eats me away inside

Seriously? Well he could have made that more clear.

Photoshop has existed for years. It’s no different than a student in 2010 being shocked at the horrors of man and trying to figure out how it could be faked with a computer. People have denied the Holocaust for generations!

In Montana those people started labeling everything the “Biden-tester-harris agenda” 💀 like come on, they only added in the Harris part a couple weeks ago.

When someone broke into my friends house the cops waited a few hours to show up so the guy would be gone, took a statement and never did anything with it 🤷‍♀️ I think people just get pissed off that they don’t do the thing they claim to do in most instances.

Damn, why that?

What I don’t get is he had four years already to achieve results and all he did was make the country worse off, but somehow everyone seems to have forgotten that 😭

Not to say avoid fruits. It’s okay, and even encouraged, to eat whole servings of fruit each day.

Unfortunately it’s way more than that :(

Yeah that’s totally fair, I felt weird writing that because that was how I was brought up thinking of it. I suppose where I live, the dispersed camping is very clean cut and does show up on NFS listings, so I’ve learned to think of it differently recently. I suppose at the very least me and many other people just call any first come first serve camping “dispersed” because of this 🤷‍♀️

Whatever the case, it certainly doesn’t need to be a backpacking spot.

Dispersed camping is any designated campsite that allows you to show up and go as you please. In Montana, they’re everywhere and frequently have spots to put your RV or car. “Dispersed” is a designation by the NFS for these sites

I think it’s just a shit stirring paper to say “look, here’s something that has zero observational evidence to its existence and look how ridiculous it sounds. Dark matter also has zero observational evidence, so why is that not ridiculous?” Which I’m not sure I agree with, but based on the faaar stretches he makes in the paper and the comments by the author later, that’s what I gather.

Ah I see! You see I am also American and have an automatic, but don’t have the funds or space for boats, caravans, or horses. I definitely did not know that about the torque converter, so thank you for that info!

I guess I just always assumed that those with the money and land for those activities you listed are wealthy enough to be in the extreme minority, but the way you say this makes me think my friends across the pond have a different perspective. Perhaps I am also in a bit of a bubble, having grown up in and only talk to people in a similar economic class.

What do you find people want to tow? I’m often at a loss when people bring this up because I’ve never once had a moment in my life where I was disappointed by the lack of towing capacity of my small car

I can one up you by doing that with my chest

Sure, but if someone really loves milkshakes and they find a specialty ice cream place that doesn’t do non-dairy, they’ll just have to walk away either disappointed or filled with toots

The idea that a little inflation is better than none comes from the thought that money should be changing hands as much as possible, and if money kept its value people would be incentivized to save all their money and keep it to themselves, and that would remove it from the economy. But if the value of that cash goes away people will want to invest it in something that might not lose its value, like a service.

Idk that’s just the way it’s always been explained around me I’m not some money jockey
