  • They should, and can be. It sounds like you’re unhappy with how your life has panned out and think everyone needs to be “grinding” 100% of the time to be better. Not everyone thinks that way or wants to. Just because you think a job is beneath you doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be done. If all the service industry workers, who you claim have no skills btw, stopped working then the world would cease to function in a day, if not hours.

    You’re blaming the workers for the problems created by the ones with money.

    It’s been statistically proven that costs don’t go up when minimum wage does. Europe has higher minimum wages and yet their prices tend to be lower than ours. So there’s no actual data to support things getting more expensive due to minimum wage increases. And surprise, the prices are going to raise wether or not you get a raise.






  • I think the newest car is even consider is 2008. Once they started putting telemetry in our cars it was inevitable that they’ll collect every possible datapoint to sell.

    I don’t get the need for any of the new features anyways. My 2004 escape does everything I need it to with absolutely no fancy electronics. The cruise control still moves the throttle pedal ffs. The stereo is a $75 dumb radio and everything else is analog.

    My next daily driver will probably be whatever I can find that’s older and fun to drive. Some of the new cars look great, especially the EVs, but I’m not willing to let them have that much data about me


  • You’ll be like that for a while. I think we all have some kind of longing for a deeper connection, but also know it’s not necessarily in the cards.

    It’s been 3 years since I stopped looking, and while I was in a LTR before that, by the end I had realized I wasn’t the partner anyone deserved to be stuck with, a sentiment that was echoed by my partner at the time. (And was well deserved, I was/am an ass)

    Eventually some of the pain fades and you can enjoy being alone, but it’s not easy, and certainly isn’t fun.

    I’ve found hobbies that I can enjoy by myself and that’s been pretty much it. Being ok with going out alone is another hard one to get over, which I’m still working on.

    I think the hard truth is it doesn’t get easier, it just bothers you a little less as time goes on. There’s something peaceful about living life entirely on your own terms with no responsibilities to anyone else. No need to consider a potential partner when doing activities, all of your space is your own and a bunch of other small things that I realize now I wouldn’t want to give up for a relationship.
