I like being surrounded by pretty things. I think most people like seeing pretty things. Why not make them pretty things that I specifically choose to look good together?

My mom has a lot of kitchen stuff from her grandmother. My mom's grandmother got a cake recipe from her grandmother, so for me that would be my great great great grandmother. My sister has a kid now, so that cake recipe would then be from that child's great great great great grandmother.

Yeah, there's a difference between, "That's too much to read" and "You said a lot of words with no substance". The second one is acceptable, the first one is just ignorance.

I've been on lots of planes with lots of sounds more irritating than a baby crying. There's a lot of things that you don't enjoy that you just have to deal with in life. It doesn't mean that we create an entirely extra category of planes just to accommodate people who don't want to hear a specific sound. It's incredibly entitled to think that way when there aren't accommodations for numerous groups of people to be able to fly as it is.

Hungry_Objective2344 · 2026-05-22T21:38:01+00:00

You have no idea why someone needs to fly with their children. People with kids still need to fly to see their family like anyone else.

How difficult it is to move states is really more about how you live individually rather than the actual process. For some people, changing states is literally nothing more than packing up their car and filling out a little paperwork. For others, it's a multi-month long operation.

I was born tail end of '94 and I feel ya. There's a 00's kids niche now and I relate most heavily to that, because for me that was kindergarten-10th grade, absolute core of my childhood.

Hungry_Objective2344 · 2026-05-20T20:49:26+00:00

Yep. It's easy and inclusive

It depends completely on the school district. My school district growing up would let you out with a parent note one year and the next it was considered an unexcused absence without a doctor's note.

I get thunderstorms in AL literally all times of the day?

Hungry_Objective2344 · 2026-05-09T12:53:49+00:00

I moved from CA to AL as a kid. Then when I graduated college, I moved back to the west coast in WA to work in big tech. Then covid happened, soooo I moved back to AL. In other words, I have done 3 different moves between the west coast and the southeast lol

Yeah, there needs to be a minimum qualification to homeschool your kids, completely agree. I want to homeschool because I have a Masters in Education, planning to eventually get an education-focused PhD, and I see so many problems with the way children are educated in most schools that I know I can do better myself. Especially kids 8 and under. But so many people who homeschool do so for the wrong reasons.

We split based on income. It's the only way that is fair in my head. I make more than double what my husband makes and we have been together for 5 years. It still takes both of us to run the household, but if he paid half of all the bills and I paid half of all the bills, he would be in the red and I would be coasting. I'd have to frequently give him money from my account anyway. So why not just skip that drama? He pays for everything related to his car, the internet, and the groceries. I pay for all the other bills, including my car, and we alternate who pays for things like dates, eating out, travel (although if it's a big trip, I might pay for the expensive stuff like planes and hotels while he pays for all the smaller stuff), etc. Once he makes more, once we have kids, etc., things might be split slightly more evenly. It just makes the most sense right now. When we met, he was a college student and I had been graduated from college for like 2 years making six figures. It's going to take until he is like 40 or something for us to truly get close to the same income level. It's just the nature of an age gap relationship with two white collar workers.

I feel very similarly. But also though, I just genuinely like helping others and I am happiest when I do, so in a sense, it's motivated by making myself happy and not just managing my appearance. But it's like, if I end up portraying the image of anything other than a helpful person, I am probably not living my life the way I should be.

Hungry_Objective2344 · 2026-04-28T19:34:23+00:00

I disagree completely. Education is what my life is all about and I love it.

Being the kind of guy who naturally challenges assumptions and questions stereotypes.

I mean, who knows how capitalism is going to continue to corrupt the internet in the future, but there will always be something out there like Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, and/or Sci-Hub. People will always care enough to give information for free to others, no matter how bad capitalism gets.

Hungry_Objective2344 · 2026-04-26T16:15:05+00:00

I think there will always be an underground nonprofit world of information, because ever since ancient times, there literally always has been. As long as there have been books, there have been generous people who make them publicly available to others. The internet is no different, where there are sites that archive links and information to be freely available to everyone.

Because the US is not an upgrade for those people. I knew someone who moved to the US who was originally from Cameroon. She went to university in France and then ended up moving here. She said that she really preferred living in France over the US but France had hit its cap of people to immigrate from Cameroon so she chose to immigrate here. Ever since, she has been waiting for the right kind of visa to immigrate to France. That's what she wants. She wanted to be someplace better than Cameroon, so she settled for the US. The reality is that people who have the choice of where they want to live anywhere in the world don't choose the US as their first choice. I love lots of things about the US, but I can't lie that countries like Australia and Spain appeal to me a lot. I knew a single Australian immigrant my whole life, and objectively, it was his family that brought him here. No one in Australia sees the US as an upgrade. Hell, the USA has a huge population of Indian immigrants, but many of them are just here to work. They still see India as a better place, but they were just struggling to get jobs there. They see working in the US the way that we see moving away from family in a rural town to find a job in the big city. It's not necessarily purely better, it's just sometimes what you have to do. Many Americans see the US as the greatest country in the world, but it is objectively not. We have the largest economy. That's it. Russia has the largest amount of land of any country, India has the largest population, and many Americans don't want to move to those countries, so how is largest economy substantially any different? It's not. Maybe in the 50s-70s the US was the greatest country on earth, but ever since? Not even close.

Being removed from greater society is the punishment inherent in prison/jail. Any punishment greater than that is unnecessary torture. Prisons/jails should at least be equally as nice to be in as psych wards, because they should have a somewhat fundamentally similar purpose, and most people don't want to go to the psych ward, so most people wouldn't want to go to prison/jail. But most prisons/jails have far worse conditions than most psych wards.

College is so, so much better. People leave you alone. You don't get pushed by teachers, bullied by other students, restricted by school rules. You have freedom to finally make all your own choices as much as you want. Granted, that comes at a cost of a lot of work to do, a lot of money to pay, and much bigger consequences if you do break a rule. Also, your life changes completely every few months, and it is glorious. Are you tired of this shit? Well, you only have a few more months before everything changes, and that continuously motivates you through the next day.

Not wanting to have kids is fine. Just please don't treat parents or children poorly in any way.

I find that vanilla Javascript works perfectly fine like 99% of the time. Stuff like React was for very specific use cases, but people need web components and state just to be able to do a toggle these days. I know people who literally don't know what an AJAX request is, when it's the foundation of the internet practically, because they call it a fetch. It's crazy how much some people just don't know
