You, umm.. might wanna think about not talking while us vast-majority-of-the-working-class are discussing how we are going to eat the rich.. just a thought. I know people in your tax bracket, and they are all wildly out of touch with society, just like you appear to be. The most I can make in my area, degreed and with skills and all, is 40k, literally 10x lower than what you make. And you have the absolute audacity to complain.

So.. like… Nobody cares about your “struggle”. At all. Literally nobody ever. You are part of the problem as far as most people are concerned. And you probably actually are part of the problem to be whining like this, anyway.

Have you ever tasted flower nectar?

I grow gladiolus sometimes, and they produce a lot of nectar, but there aren’t any pollinators for those flowers around me, so I remove the nectar myself with a syringe. There isn’t a lot in each flower, but it’s nice in a cup of tea.

It doesn’t really taste like honey, even dilute honey. It doesn’t taste like just sugar water, either, though. I’m sure each flowering plant produces a subtly different flavor, like fruit.

And indeed, honey apparently tastes different depending what the bees are feeding on. But I’d say it’s probably a mix of something bee-specific and the nectar itself.

I have a strategy to avoid this. You might find it helpful also.

I go through stuff and set aside in boxes anything that I think might be useful, but I don’t really want or need. This brings that item into my mind, the same way throwing it out does. I label the boxes with the date, and either donate or trash, and put stuff in accordingly.

If a box sits unopened for 6 months, I toss it or donate it without opening it and seeing what’s inside. If I open a box to use something, I put the new date on it and reset the clock.

Then there’s no pain from actually getting rid of stuff. There’s no “man I just threw that out!” regret.

Dude you really need to get off the internet now and then. You are so entirely out of touch with normal humans..

There are a lot of games I won’t play because they over sexy the female armor to the point it’s just laughably unrealistic and negatively distracting.

I love seeing sexy women, don’t get me wrong, like Aloy always had the midriff-exposing gear skin on so I could see her belly during conversations, but that gear was still practical. Maybe risky for one of the more vulnerable areas, but something I could see existing irl.

Fanservice games that over-sexy the women just scream “this game isn't very good and is banking on teen/ya boys being horny”. Not a good look.

If I was your boss (which won’t happen don’t worry; I don’t have the ambition to lead which is why I’m apparently so good at it) I would absolutely demand you explain every hypothetical in every conceivable detail before I’d make any sort of judgement.

We would both get fired for not doing any work.

Like “quiet quitting”, which is, in reality, just doing your job and not going above and beyond because it doesn’t benefit you…

Rarely is an overstatement.

Clear craze.

As in technology. Translucent gadgets were all the rage. Not quite one word, I was going to go with translucent, but found it actually had a name.

I have no kids but I don’t have 3 money.

Turns out being the sort of person who -specifically- doesn’t want to deal with any of the responsibility even tangentially related to kids also isn’t well suited for the responsibilities of a regular 40hr/wk year round job.. or being an independent adult at all really.

(It’s me and literally nobody else I’m speaking about above, just for the record)

I’m not inclined to work past 36.

I’m currently 36.
