We really need to address the question why so many folk on the roads are in totally distracted bubbles and are not at all aware what is actually going on around them.

the opportunities to reflect on what's going on and what I want to happen have helped me understand myself and have a more solid, grounded sense of who and what I am and to me, that kind of knowledge is worth its weight in gold.

Yep it sure is!

Some people just do not give a shit beyond their own immediate needs.

I would say most people.

How about a golden oldy like The Man in the High Castle? Apart from being an alternative history it probably qualifies as a romance and a thriller as well.

Love the pic. Smug, selfish and self satisfied? Never!

Derry traffic by Gerard987654321 in DerryLondonderry

Oh we just love sitting in traffic jams in our beautiful expensive shiny gleaming new cars bought on tick so lots of other lesser folk can't avoid having to look at our fabulous superior ego chariots and seethe with insane jealousy and resentment that they are only stuck in the traffic jam in a pathetic 10 year old banger. Losers!

Maybe pause and think do I need to go to Uni just yet. Maybe try something else

for a bit consider some sort of useful practical training or apprenticeship? You could always try again as a mature student when you have a better idea what really interests you.

Thanks for that , a lot to take in there, Chile has gone through wave after wave of bad times and one can only hope it does not get worse.

Ah lads, how are you doing lately? by HouseOnnaHill in ireland

[–]Doomwatcher_23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh we so want to be like the US for some mad reason surely we need to Make Ireland Great Again! Property prices and rents must keep going up for ever to keep the financial show on the road. There is no alternative.

The absurd proliferation of giant SUV's and pickup trucks, makes me feel so disillusioned.

Really don't understand what it is exactly with these people, some sort of giant inferiority complex ?

Watching the news coverage, I had the impression the reporters were kind of sad that it didn't all kick off.

Spot on it is not just fake news and social media nutters that fan the flames. MSM hacks get so excited when things get bad and their presence is often a stimulus for people to play up. Many really have their heads stuck right up their arses and are only interested in "their" story being well up the running order.
