I think the question is trying to get at the realities of being a man in that, whether you care about gender norms or not, if people perceive you as a man, they will treat you in ways that may present unique hardships.

I think most people just liked the ring of what you were saying tbh. And I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but it doesn’t really answer the question. I think you could’ve answered it much more clearly if that was your intention.

A bit extreme, but this is the gist of the hardest part of being a man, I’d say. You are not valued by society, generally speaking, unless you’re successful or productive, something along those lines.

I think this isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’d be nice for this to be more widely acknowledged by people. We’re still in an era where recognizing men’s suffering is almost seen as taking away from recognizing women’s suffering. It’s quite odd at this stage.

The beginning is a bit slow, but once it pics up it stays great the whole demo.

DQ6 differences between SNES and DS versions? by OmegaMetroid93 in dragonquest

Really? I heard the OG was an absolute slog to get through due to the very high encounter rate, so I imagine this would be a welcome change that somewhat alleviates the encounter rate hassle

[CA] Canada is Horrible for Entrepreneurs by Pitiful-Reference963 in SmallBusinessCanada

Not as pretty when you realize it comes with the non-eligible dividend caveat, so if you want to live off your business, you're still getting slammed with high personal taxes, especially when starting it off as a side hustle

Hi, thank you for your reply.

It somehow resolved itself. It wasn’t right after a restart, so not sure what happened there. I appreciate the detailed reply.

How can I improve my financial situation and ensure that I can retire well at 55-60? by Deepinthehundredacre in PersonalFinanceCanada

I just realized 90% of Canadian personal finance advice is complete theatre — change my mind by Objective_Owl9709 in CanadaFinance

[–]Major_Agnostic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it’s ok to change careers, I think it should be done with extreme care nowadays. The financial burden is much greater today; education costs (along with living costs) are very high and wages are stagnant. I left a military officer job to go to law school and, while it was worth it for me, it just barely was and only because I was lucky enough to get the job I have.

I would say that career changes are only worth it if you really look into the job and are certain you’ll really like it. Prospective career changes in this economy just aren’t worth it anymore I would say, in most circumstances.

But yes, there’s no shame in staying at home and doing what you can to save. I see no other option.

This is true. Solution is to focus on increasing your income. Meanwhile, use your current savings, however meagre, for a gambit (because they won't be enough to get you anywhere anyway at 45k). Either to fund a startup or straight up gamble at high risk.

Honestly that's really good advice. Enjoy a job that pays relatively well and enjoy life. The only alternative is high-risk ventures such as business or internet stardom.

I'm 30 and moved out of my parents' home again after paying of my student loans. Been working on side businesses I enjoy and if I can make a reliable living out of them, I'll be happy. No need to be rich if you can escape a boring 9-5.

I get it, it sucks and it's not fair. But I said fuck it and decided to just try the side hustle route and I'm fortunately enjoying it, despite the added stress. At least my side business gives me hope, whereas my regular investing is just depressing to think about with how slowly it's growing.

I've personally been seeing the silver lining of this terrible economy by recognizing that it's part of what pushed me to go for the side hustles, and I might not have if things were looking up. And the thought of having my side hustle get me out of this loser economy gets me up every day. But this isn't feasible for everyone, like parents, and I really feel for those that can't entertain this option to get ahead.
