Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry
Idk what your society or definition of “insanity” is but assuming you’re asking what we believe most commonly leads to one’s mental health entering a negative feedback loop:
Broadly speaking it’s some form of hopeless desperation (yes, the hopeless qualifier matters here) that commonly kicks into high gear after falling into homelessness, at least based on my own observations
Some also get to play on hard mode simply for winning the genetic and/or socio-economic anti-lottery
Grub Rescue
Same way you overcome any of life’s challenges: decide it’s impossible bullshit and move onto another game
The moment I realized the most one can gain from (pre-buyout)Twitter is the respect of other Twitter users, posting anything immediately became a chore
Doesn’t sound familiar but I understand there’s very little to go off here
Can’t remember the name but there’s a novel set in Ireland in the not-too-distant future
Synopsis implied it had become a surveillance state but didn’t gave up before confirming due to the literal writing style
I swear every sentence was written in the passive voice (poorly remembered examples):
“It was made known through the clothes he wore they were sent from the department of security”
“As she walked outside the smell made Spring’s arrival clear”
Totally fine normally but do it every single sentence and it becomes a mystery novel where the mystery is what the hell you just read!
… Or idk, Harry Potter 5 is pretty meandering
Sovereign state?
The verb “to state”?
An intranational political division such as in the US or Mexico kind of state?
Pick any human development index measurement and view its progress over the past 10 years
Counterpoint: what?
Yeah, more or less both
Keep your share of rent between 1/4 and 1/3 of your income, set up passive savings contributions of at least 10% and use a high yield savings account to stave off inflation until you both have 3 months living expenses and understand why the best investment strategies are boring
If you’re in university, your desired career and its requirements should determine your major, , not the other way around
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree only to realize my career was a dead end because only in my senior year was I informed there’s such thing as a “mental health license” for which I was disqualified due to low grades in a non-related class the year prior. Eventually I learned how well blue collar jobs pay (with a lot of job security at that) and got back on my feet working in logistics but I’ll never see the 50x return on investments by retirement because “why learn about finances when you can barely pay rent”
It all seems very obvious in hindsight
I’m deep and this is 14
Design is too mobile responsive
“Can’t even breath”
Give it a few kilomonths
Well I guess when there’s a species of giant people eating gum-chewers we really should have expected a decline in its popularity
I’ll skip repeating what others have already said but add the default UI needs to be less cramped on desktop. Not sure about mobile as I’ve had a mostly positive experience on Sync (thanks to competition from a selection of 3rd party apps btw but I digress)
I’d like to see a discussion around “capitalism” that doesn’t devolve into bumper sticker logic and people either use the terms they mean (capitalism often conflated with consumerism or corporatism) or at least provide their particular definition (which would certainly be necessary if the topic of UBI were to arise)
Of course that topic alone is so broad in a vacuum something like the housing crisis or entrepreneurship would be better individual discussions under that umbrella
These are relatively easy to find in Japan
Couldn’t tell you why but they are
