Yeah, everyone always talks about having a "hole" they need to fill with something... I'm pretty sure I don't have that. I enjoy stuff, I'm a pretty happy person. But I don't really -need- anything, other than sustenance stuff. I like having more stuff, but it's not that important to me. I live well below my means, so my extra money just kind if piles up. My dad always says money just sitting there in the bank could be "working for you", but then he always lives paycheck to paycheck and stresses about money all the time, that lifestyle didn't "work for me". I'd rather just have that money sitting there and be stress free instead, that works for me.

I like VR quite a bit, so I like to make sure I have a current headset and computer. But those are both pretty cheap. Computer is like 3% of my yearly income, but I only need a new one every 5 years or so, and the old one still sells for decent. And the headsets are less than 1% of yearly income.

If I won a lottery or something, I would probably just become a secret philanthropist, well, more of one. But don't tell anyone, it's a secret. I do like just randomly helping people with stuff. Money makes that easy, but I help with whatever I can. Despite being autistic, I am somehow inexplicably also strongly empathic. So I'm ultimately a people pleaser, but very much an introvert with heavy social anxiety. So yeah, I like to make people feel good, without them knowing it was me, cuz getting credit would suck for me.

I don't think we really get to choose alot of our behaviour, we are mostly a product of our genetics plus our life experiences. I'm honestly not even sure about free will. Did I actually make any choices that could have been different, or was the answer I eventually settled on always going to be what I was going to do based on everything that happened leading up to it and my perception of those events. I suppose ultimately, it doesn't matter. I like the way I am, and I wouldn't change anything if I could, so it doesn't matter if I probably can't anyway.

They were significantly deregulated under Trump. They have less rules to follow now. The part where they were supposed to have more freedom to choose how to be safe properly, didn't seem to be how that played out for some reason.

But, the specific type of asymmetrical bob that has been dubbed "the karen", isn't it?

Isn't her hairstyle "the karen"?

Sorry, completely off-topic, but your name keeps reminding me of rock-a-doodle. I know his name is completely different, but it has the same flow and a really similar sound. Chanticleer. Prounounced Chant Eclair, a french pun for "sing loud and clear".

Then what value does the comparison have if you nullify the main point of comparing them?

You mean freedom from british authority, we still have authority.

I might check out some of the food, but the odds are pretty high that I won't like it. So I'm probably safe.

It's not a virtue if it's just normal. Trying to repress normal things and pretend they don't exist, and then getting mad anytime you still manage to see them is just a way of life that is going to lead to constantly being angry.

When my siblings and I were kids, our parents considered themselves christian and we went to church. But as we grew up, we all stopped believing, and we convinced our parents to stop too. I don't generally want to convince most religious people to stop, but we were kids at the time and didn't really know the ramifications of disillusioning our parents. If religious people can believe in "heaven"(or equivalent) and think they are going there, it's a really nice thought that I don't want to take away from them. But people that use religion to hurt people, yeah I kind of want to take it away from them. I guess like anything else in life, if you are using it to be nice and constructive, cool. If you are using it to hurt people, take it away.

The real version of death kind of sucks. It honestly kind of physically hurts/feels bad to even think about ceasing to exist permanently. I feel like that has always been the true purpose and main point of religion. Pretending death is absolutely anything else other than what it really is. I don't want to take that aspect away from anyone.

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/biden-promise-tracker/ Honestly, for a politician, that's a pretty high follow-through rate. If his term ends and all the stalled and in-progress convert to compromise or failed, hes still gonna stack up pretty good.

28% may look low without context, but compare it to previous single term presidents... and if he gets a second term, he's on track to do very well.
