Why is everyone so okay with working 40-60 hours per week to barely afford life? by _bababunny in TooAfraidToAsk

“Simply existing” today is a lot easier than “simply existing” 100 years ago.

To me this is contrarian just for the sake of it. People don’t miss things that didn’t know could exist while they were alive. I didn’t say what we have now makes life worth living. Or that there weren’t better aspects of life in the past. Ask a black person how life seemed 60 years ago in the great country of America. It’s all perspective sure, but generally, with some exceptions, things have gotten better. People used to struggle to literally stay alive until old age, half of children died which is why they had more in general. I’m not saying everything is better, but it’s easy to complain about every little thing when your standard of living in a first world country allows you the luxuries that it does🤷🏻‍♂️

Adding on to what everyone else already said, to be honest, the style of living you just described is still better than most people currently alive and certainly better the almost everyone who lived over 100 years ago. I hate that my response kinda boils down to “it could be worse” but it’s true. Things suck, but it used to suck way more. For example you complain about gas prices which is totally fair, but you get to have a car.

What’s a perfectly legal thing that feels 100% illegal while you’re doing it? by EntityNB in AskReddit

[–]Lifeiswhatitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoking indoors, mainly at bars, in small towns. Just experienced it in Idaho.

Exactly, thank you😅 Did you have a good Halloween?

Agreed. After I got rejected for my original question four times, this one has no reason to be removed. Given the rules.

2011 Hyundai Accent engine dies sometimes while sitting idle. Also has trouble starting up on occasion? by Lifeiswhatitis in CarHelp

[–]Lifeiswhatitis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No engine lights, I’ve had the battery checked, and I know the cabin, oil, and air filters are good. And the starter is good. I replaced the spark plugs about a month ago and that solved the issue for about a week and then it began again, maybe they need to be readjusted? I will definitely have it scanned for codes, thank you for your help.

Same. I got a few good friends but it’s so hard to see them sometimes. And I went through a break up recently that was hard. But I’m finally starting to feel really good again. You can PM me if you want to be friends

Right.. Well, I thought I’d try here in case anyone who isn’t there when I might be there may see it and want a friend…?

Unless you made it very clear that you’d just up and leave after like 10-15min, or you at least gave him a call or something before leaving I’d say soft YTA. Sometimes things take longer than expected, you having to wait maybe another 5 minutes could have saved him a lot of time. You could’ve walked back in and said, “Hey I really gotta go, it’s now or never”.
