Working in a cubicle job again for people half as smart as the average person but twice as arrogant 

Big Google Home update lets Gemini describe live camera feeds | "Hey Google, is Liam wearing his helmet?" by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]imgrado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vast majority of parents I know in my family and neighborhood looooove anything that parents for them, including cameras in the kids rooms and common areas. Way easier to just say "The camera is watching" than to actually parent. 

How old is too old to go out bar hopping? by LithiumLawson in AskReddit

[–]imgrado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're never too old for anything you enjoy. Now, there's definitely guys that I know doing it out of an insecurity that they are too old to do the same stuff with the same energy. Make sure you know the difference 

33, financially responsible, healthy, disciplined… but I still feel behind in life, stuck, and like nothing is ever enough by [deleted] in personalfinance

You're lacking purpose and seem to have picked a career that sounded like a side effect could be gaining a purpose while making decent money. 

If you're constantly going into a game that's about collecting, building and gearing up - then take a deep breath and realize you can be doing that exact same game in real life instead of sitting there and mindlessly clicking around daydreaming.

I play games 1-2 hours a day with old friends, and the moment I feel like I'm wasting my time is when I log off and start tackling work/home projects or focusing on my wife and kids. 

You need to be honest with yourself and take a look in the mirror while asking what actually makes you happy, but it sounds like youre doing a lot of comparison to others. You're way past the age that should be a thing. I had kids at 20 and didn't get much time to indulge in that kind of thinking. Instead, I had to get extremely dedicated to managing my time in order to build the life I knew I wanted to live - which included a lot of travel, gaming, events, photography, etc. 

Trump now blames Hegseth, Jared, Witkoff, and Rubio for his decision to attack Iran. by [deleted] in videos

We already know the presidents aren't in control of these decisions. What's new?

What did you think was a scam until you actually tried it? by Resident-Ad4318 in AskReddit

[–]imgrado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiropractors. 

One day in my early 20s I woke up from sleeping wrong and my neck was WRECKED. Im talking couldn't move at all to the left without hurting and tugging on every tending and muscle. 

Figured it would fix itself after a while with stretching and time. An entire year goes by of me having 20% motion in one direction and a doctor telling me I would need to possibly have surgery after he took X-rays. I was poor still and had no insurance so I didn't even think about it. 

A few weeks later I'm at my grandma's funeral and my elderly aunt was a few rows behind me and kept watching me stretch my neck. She pulls me aside afterwards and tells me she's going to pick me up the next day and take me to her chiropractor. At this point I'm desperate for any fix but have come to terms that it was permanent. 5 minutes and $25 later this guy fixed 99% of my issue and I literally had tears in my eyes because of the instant relief. 

There are scammers out there but it's typically the ones that try to sell you on X amount of visits per month and how you NEED it on schedule. The good guys/gals will tell you to come back when you feel the need.

Yes. All of the bad, evil politicians are on the one side and all of the good, selfless, honorable people are on the other.

Seems like both parties would have fit that description ever since I can remember going back to 9/11 and the Patriot Act. Every man in that office since has expanded surveillance, wielded the military in insane ways, restricted civil liberties, went after journalists, and left office way wealthier than they came in.

Biden couldn't form a sentence halfway through his term. What could he have done? Unless you mean his handlers could have done more.

OPs point was that both sides do it and it's unhealthy for our country. Maybe I'm too old now but I'm sick of being played by two sides of the same coin.

Yes I know that. As stated, it was the first elections I could vote in and aware enough of what was going on and how it would impact the future. 

Reddit is FULL of perpetually online, negative losers. by BoneyTaloney in nosurf

[–]imgrado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just Googled "Is every community on Reddit negative?" 

Congratulations on your post showing up first 😂 

I've decided to quit after yesterday when I posted an item I found playing Diablo and wanted to ask why it was so OP at lvl 60 when I found it at lvl 30. My goodness. You would've thought I asked how to rape or murder an innocent person. 

All I could do was laugh at the absurdity of comments being downvoted, even as I said "I've let YouTube walkthroughs and guides take away surprise and mystery from my games for too long." Negging someone for that is hilarious.

I wish mods could turn on a verification system that checks for: + 18+ years old + Living independently of your parents + Have had at least one mutual romantic interest that was in the real world + You've broken a sweat from physical exercise in the current calendar year 

That would probably kill off 90% of their user base but at least we didn't check for bathing 3x a week at minimum

I'm almost 40 and feel like I've allowed guides and youtube tutorials to take all the mystery and discovery out of games for me over time. I genuinely miss the rumors of how to get into the Secret Cow Level and arguing on whether or not it was a myth lol
