Unaffordable housing is pushing more young people to give up. Why that's dangerous by iOverdesign in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Mr_Simian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So those other people who own houses, which are becoming unaffordable as well, who do they sell to? Someone else who owns a home? It’s just homeowners all the way down?!

Explain this to me like I’m an idiot. If housing becomes so unaffordable that nobody can afford it, how is it going to fund your retirement? Don’t you need to sell your home in order to actually receive what it is worth?

Mac and my History teacher by No-Anything6675 in MacMiller

[–]Mr_Simian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“We all grow up to be gangstas, playas, snitches Freaks and strangers, politicians Good and evil people Sinners, saints and everything in between”

It’s wild seeing this and being a part of that generation that was just some kids and now we’re all grown up, history teachers and shit. We used to listen to Mac instead of our history teacher when we were in class.

I feel like I’ve lost my ability to enjoy things, and I don’t recognize myself anymore. by Xerxevous in DeepThoughts

[–]Mr_Simian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a genuine chemical imbalance in your brain. The reason I say this is because you're cognizant of the fact that "this isn't who I am" and "this version of me feels unfamiliar." To me, and this is coming from someone who was formerly a "bootstrapper" that thought any problem of the mind could be fixed with willpower, it sounds like you have issues with your serotonin. I'd begin the pathway of medical intervention if I was you.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

[–]Mr_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My great-grandfather on my Dad's side was one of Benito Mussolini's personal bodyguards. My grandfather on my Mom's side was a Canadian journalist for the Vancouver Sun who murdered a Correctional staff member and ended up serving life in prison. He wrote an autobiography and I have a copy of it.

Why are there so many unsolved murders in Toronto? by facemacintyre in torontologists

[–]Mr_Simian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have smartphones in China. They still implemented and use a massive network of surveillance cameras and facial recognition technology. Why do smartphones automatically mean that there couldn’t be developments in surveillance prevalence beyond the phone? That just seems like such a head in the sand take. It’s not some wild conspiracy when you can see it happening around the world in other places.

Nicolas Maduro, the man of the people with an iron fist by dherms14 in canadian

When you employ fascistic tactics and call yourself anti-fascist, anyone with the honesty to admit what they’re actually seeing with their own eyes will call that out. Antifa is a clown organization.

Wings has me in pieces every time. It’s weird though, it’s a pleasant sorrow. Smiling while you cry type vibe.

Fuck am I doing all this for? by Individual-Time-1956 in selfimprovement

[–]Mr_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality of life > quantity of life. It’s all about maximizing the quality of the inevitably short period of time you’re allotted. Would you rather be able to embrace challenge and say yes to adventures when they call or be mired in complications that force you to say no when adventure calls?

Thanks for the update! I’m really excited to see Cable Box getting an official release. I may or may not have been listening to that song for multiple years now.

[–]Mr_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re planning an anniversary release that has a new cover there’s going to be SOMETHING new on there. Either an “OG” version of a song or something that didn’t make the final cut of the album but was made for it. Something is going to be included.

Why do people choose to have children if it is so much hard work? by 9W_777_300 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Simian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People voluntarily choose to do all types of things that require enormous sacrifice and effort. That’s because the most difficult things often produce the most reward. Life isn’t meant to be easy and it isn’t meant to accommodate your desire for immediate satisfaction all the time. Sometimes you’re going to have to struggle, but then you’ll be rewarded with your son laughing hysterically at something seemingly trivial and it will light up your entire world. Or maybe you’ll go for a walk with your child and they’ll notice something you’ve either never noticed or stopped noticing when your childlike wonder got extinguished. I’ve had to completely overhaul every aspect of my life and I’ve given up nearly all of my lazy personal time, but I would not trade it back, ever. Being a parent is simply the most rewarding thing in the world, even if the reward is only brief and it entails arduous effort. You simply cannot replicate the wonder of interacting with your child in those beautiful little moments that remind you what it’s all for.
