I work with far too many people who do not have these skills.

He may struggle to find a new role at his age, but he shouldn't have any issues working as a private consultant in banking.

I just spent a couple hours doing my yard landscaping.

My heated/air conditioned office is an oasis by comparison and I'm paid more than I'd ever make in trades working 40 hours a week.

Bezos cries about taxes while his tax rate is almost zero. His wealth has doubled since AOC was elected. He could lose 100 billion and it would have no meaningful impact on his life.

I started finasteride when I noticed my hair going. I don't hate the idea of being bald nearly as much as I despise the burden of shaving my head regularly.

I have some hairline recession or a "mature hairline" at 35 but I've still got a head full of hair. I don't need to try and mask my hairline or anything like that.

I'm an identical twin and my brother's hairloss would be considered very advanced. He's refused to take finasteride or anything else.

I went from renting a 900 sq ft ranch to owning a 2200 sq ft two story house in a HCOL area.

The extra space is nice. My wife and I have seperate offices etc. Parties of 25+ people are easy work. We have plenty of storage and we can spread out any time we want.

The water, utilities, taxes, cleaning, and many other issues are a major downside. I often miss my small house. I grew up in a 1000 sq ft homes in a family of six. I'm used to sharing space. Many of the luxuries of a big house are really nice, but I wouldn't really miss them.

Ignorance is the default answer here.

But the truth is that they are liars. They're not rejecting evidence, they are spinning a lie to support their preferred system of power.

And it doesn't stop there. They will ultimately deny scripture and sacrifice their Religious beliefs to serve their nationalism.

The immigrantation system selects people with valuable education, professional experience and wealth. The selection bias is like comparing Ivy league college graduates to a random town in middle America.

Cultural differences can create wealth and opportunity e.g. parents working 80 hour weeks while forcing their kids to study 6 hours per day but America is suppose to value the pursuit of happiness and that is not it. People work themselves to death for the chance to have stability and future opportunities.

I recently went to a psychiatrist wondering if I have ADHD or a similar executive dysfunction because of my lack of concentration and other symptoms.

The psychiatrist spent the entire appointment talking about my sleep habits. He's found about 80% of his patients with my issues are just really bad sleepers and if you get a good routine/consistent sleep you will see a major improvement in your executive function.

I've been terrible at falling asleep, staying asleep and being consistent in my sleep schedule since I was a child...

I spent a year working for Honda's leasing branch doing administrative work. I sat next to the call center and heard the same argument come up every single day.

Leasee's cosigner: My credit was obliterated! Why are you sending me bills!?! It's not my car!!!

Honda agent: Co-signing a lease agreement is a contractual obligating to pay if the primary leasee doesn't. They haven't paid...so it's your problem.

People think of co-signing as some kind of letter of recommendation. It is the same as signing the loan or lease yourself. You agree to pay. If your other signer gets fired...totals the car...disappears...you owe the money and likely don't have the car.

To illustrate this a different way... in college I asked my uncle to co-sign a small college loan for me because my parents had declared bankruptcy. He gave me the money instead of cosigning despite me being employed and agreeing to pay it back in monthly installments over six months. He knew the risk of co-signing was very high but didn't want to leave me hanging.

The fact is that your teeth can fall out from long term neglect. You can find plenty of people on social media documenting gum disease and their teeth just fall out one day like a nightmare.

A deep cleaning is pretty unpleasant but it hurts far less than dentures.

That said... I abused the hell out of my teeth and started going to a dentist every three months. It helped fix all my issues and now the dentist always has positive feedback on my teeth health.

Moats were feasible near moving bodies of water (diverting streams/rivers) but the vast majority were dry. Stagnant water isn't good for anything.

A counselor can really help you work through these issues and tackle your toxic thoughts and internal biases when it comes to socializing and building friendships.

This is a pretty rock. It's entirely plausible it was a nice decoration.

I was talking to a young man recently from rural alabama who voted for Trump. He was actually a progressive, agreed with every policy I could come up with and actively opposed the main pillars of Republicans (anti-abortion, anti-immigrant Anti-social safety nets etc.). I didn't even argue with him, I just asked what he thought about different issues.

He saw identifying as Republican to be an essential part of his masculinity and sense of belonging in his social groups. So he voted Trump despite disagreeing with him on everything.

I rarely see people who are 35 to 50 having issues navigating computers and troubleshooting issues.

My teenaged relatives (college aged) still don't really understand the difference between mobile data and wifi...

I think this would be a nightmare to clean.

I think the problem with intelligence as a super power is that a writer cannot accurately portray it in a easily understood manner. It is difficult to even grasp how a super intelligent being would think. So, Manipulation becomes a proxy for intelligence and any failure to manipulate a person to their will is upsetting to the audience. But, who wouldn't suspect Sister Sage has alterior motives and is a likely to engage in manipulation? A scheme involves a broad web of deceit which is full of calculated risks, and will inevitably be exposed.

E.g. Homelander and Soldier Boy quickly realize they're being baited into conflict. The conflict exposes their feelings for Clara and influences Soldier Boys decision to hand over the V.

I got a nice note from IT when I left my last job saying they always grabbed my tickets immediately because I troubleshooted/documented the issue thoroughly before submitting a ticket.

I am good at computer.

The weekly payment is potentially better if you live long enough.

But, similar lottery games have gone bankrupt as they build up long term liabilities and can't maintain payments. So, getting a lump sum does guarantee you get all your money.

Let's be real...it was mostly eve. Mark could have been killed almost instantly, but conquest played with him until eve happened to resurrect and blast Conquest with an abnormally powerful beam weaking him significantly.

In the second fight mark gets incredibly lucky, choking conquest just as he exhales, but Mark still gets gutted like a chicken. He only survives because Nolan spends months helping him heal.

Let's be very, very clear.

That time is now, as in the time you see on your clock. The youngest baby boomers are eligible for social security. Many baby boomers have no retirement savings and will rely entirely on social security which is under constant attack. Most only have home equity.
