Leave ? And.find somonwere much nicer with good PT

Woosh … that’s a strawman

It’s not the point of the post, they’re using hitler as an allegory to explain the point, not comparing the two.

While even GenX had its fair share of these, the one thing I have seen in younger generations is an explosive increase in “Beta Orbiters”.

Same here, however for me that’s not a critique or criticism (I’m older Gen X) just an observation of a change in behaviour.

Like the astonishing “rise” in trans people. Once again, not a critisism, just an observation.

These young men need to learn how to shut metaphorical doors and ignore the women who have no interest in reciprocating and who will only string them along as “useful dancing monkeys”.

But it’s not just an m/f thing. I see the same thing with grifter men doing the same thing. I assume it’s some sort of peer thing with the ability of social media allowing easier contact?

That said it’s not a lot different to religion, so perhaps a thing in most humans ?

I always thought that song had to do with a first attmept at anal fisting.

Most of the developed world is 16 yeah ? Australia is. Hell you can soon vote in elections at 16 in the UK.

Thaya got noting to do.withngorceey sjopping thoigh.

I just.saw the opening scene of Tomorrow War (Chris Pratt movie), it starts with a scene of a drone shot over a US suburb and I was horrofied, a literal shit hole of a place to live and this horror is normalized?

Dude, this is Australia, we just protest if China does it other then that it’s fiine.

Instead of hypotheticals, am Auatralian. I (m) retired at 35 and divorced/moved at 45 and lived frugally in a mud brick cabin, off grid (solar and septic) on a dirt road in the bush, for a decade with my new (f) partner, she worked part time 2 days a week, grew lots of our own food, rode our MTBs on fire roads and trails, hiked, kayaked, swam in the river (we could cycle to) on hot days etc etc. Never thought we were missing anything, quite the opposite.

My small untouched share investments compounded hugely. As well as that, I only took 1/2 the dividends to live on, the outer half were reinvested as well,

A series of unfortunate events (aka mega bushfire) saw us buy an apartment in the city near the beach to get our heads stright just before covid lockdown, lived car free there etc , sold that 2 years ago and made a ridiculous profit, bought a place in a small rural village in the back of bumfuck for way less. No flood risk, no bushfire risk and it gets decent rainfall.

Now I have more money then I know what to do with…by that I don’t mean I am a billionaire, I mean living frugally becomes a habit so my shares and income have grown and grown. I now donate 25% of my investmwnt income to charities, 25% is reinvested.and I.use the other 1/2 to live on.

My parter works 4 days a week for 6 months of the year, then has 6 months off completely. She wants her.own independent income etc

My only regret was not being brave enough about retiring earlier. I missed those years of freedom and wing get them.back. Am now 60.

Wish they’d arrest.the British Royalty for taking the entire Australia continent off their original owners.

Australian slang, a very rude euphisism for a US citizen.

It’s rhyming slang for Yank (Yankee doodle dandy) --> septic tank – > Seppo

This is why I’m here, quality posts like this.

Everyone has their line I guess ? I stopped going after 9/11. They went full pants on head crazy after that. I’d lived their for a short time in the 1990s (North East near Boston) and had visited several times.

My point, most will just rationalise, forget, adjust and start going again.

But not live ther as getting a visa ia tricky :( you guys dont like immigrants either (i wanted to move from Australia)

PEOPLE PAY FOR SHIT VIA QRCODES??? O_O

It’s ubiquitous through much of SE Asia. Eg Thailand etc

So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse

Parrot the marketing hyperbole.

The enshitification continies.
