    If you are getting life in prison, might as well blow up an oil rig or something right?

    60 years ago:

    Parent 1: I will work, make enough money for us to live well, buy a house, and retire while also supporting our children through adulthood.

    Parent 2: I will raise them, take care of the house and we will both enjoy some time together when the nanny helps.

    Now:

    Parent 1: I will work and make enough money for us to pay rent and buy food. I will also take care of the kids, and stay in when you are sick or working.

    Parent 2: I will also work and make enough money for us to pay for the kids education and basic needs. I will also take care of the kids and stay in when you are sick ir working.

    60 years ago it was nice because you were a family first and still had money to live well.

    Now these parents are workers first and still will be utterly screwed if an unexpected bill pops up (like a medical bill for those in the US or even a car breaking down)

    It's not that being a parent sucks, is that parents (especially for young children and babies) need to be parents first, and today's society is worker first, if you are lucky you can have a second title, for most that title is either "exhausted person" or a second job.

    Vegans who decided that eating murdered animals that and up looking like boogers is legit cause they have a different form of living, are just doing the smae thing that vegetarians do about milk and eggs.

    Yes, but not really.

    Google's market cap is at 1.8 trillion.

    This would like an average person getting a 100 dollar fine maybe. Which sounds like nothing, and it kind of is, but also even though the market cap is that high, 2.7 billion is still a big number that would cause issues with investors, board members, etc.

    But really, not that big of a deal for google IMO.

    This is bad, why? Because our problem is plastic production, any reuse that does not reduce production is meaningless at it would all still break down into microplastics and new plasticts would still be produced.

    Nor recycling, no reuse, just abolishing the wode spread use of plastic. Plastic should be kept for tasks that are not convinced based, but rather exclusive to plastic (like medical usage, not like saving costs cause it's cheap)

    Simple reason, people ignore/disable it.

    Most people using cars are adults, only a small number also have a young enough child that this would be a worry. You can buy specialized pads that you put on the seat which reminds you if something was left there, and yet this happens a lot.

    The truth of the matter is, people are the problem and a technological solution would have to be mich more complex to work around peoples' carelessness and ignorance

    Thank you, your support (and others') really helps.

    When I posted this I was worried that no one would respond, and the fact that so many people did, with really good advice, helps me a lot.

    I think my next step is finding a therapist, not right now but I feel confident that I'll do it, it's just scary to decide to really investigate this.

    Thank you.

    I want to tackle this, I want to find out, but I'm also afraid that if I push too hard my brain will just fabricate memories that fit my suspicions.

    Like what if I try to remember if I was abused and eventually my brain just starts to believe it happened and gives me some memories that didn't really happen.

    For example I have this one super vivid memory that I was drowning in a pool as a kid and was rescued by the lifeguard who then returned me to my parents, but my parents claim that it never happened. So this drowning memory is either real and both of my parents forgot it (which is possible) or at some point it was fabricated by my brain (also possible)

    So if my brain can do that, I don't want that to happen with something that can literally change mine and others lives.

    Religion is often not a choice. For example you are gay, and also born in a muslim house, maybe your famiky decided that you are more important to them then the homophobia, and so, you are gay and a muslim because nothing pushed you to detach from your default religion.

    Survivors of Child Abuse MTK 4 weeks ago 100%
    I have really bad memory, but something feels wrong.

    In the last year I have discovered that my childhood memories are pretty lacking, like I don't remember major life events and even whole periods of time. The more I thought about it, the scarier it got. The feeling of having zero recollection of things that people around me remember, is really scary. I have some psychological issues that I never really understood the root of but after this, and reading about child abuse and specifically child sexual abuse victims and the symptoms that might develop later in life. I have this feeling that maybe something happened to me, and I even have a "suspect" who is not part of my life anymore but was when I was a child. I suspect that my mother might know something but this is too scary to ask about, and honestly, too scary to investigate because what if it's true? Did anyone experience something like this? How did you handle it? Am I just scared because I'm missing memories and want to find a reason for my psychological issues? Writing this down was scary, up until now this was only between me and my brain.

    I'm Conflicted

    I have a Pixel 4a (with Calyx) for a few years already (start of 2021) and it's still going great. The battery is okay. Everything works nice. It's smooth. It runs everything perfectly fine. This makes me glad to see that hardware wise this phone was really built to last, I can't even count how many times I dropped it so hard that I was scared to see the damage (which was always either nothing or a broken screen protector) But software wise I'm screwed as security updates are already gone from Google and I only get the extended support from Calyx which will also end soon. Now I'm forced to choose between having a phone that is insecure or buying a new one. So thanks Google for the high quality hardware, but what's up with this software planned obsolescence?? I know this isn't exactly right to repair, but it also kind of is because if Google decided to ditch the 4a, they should be forced to open source the software so that the public can actually repair it. I'm sure that some of their latest updates can be modified slightly to work for the 4a, but they don't care and for them this is a win-win since they don't have to maintian support and they get new customers who would otherwise be satisfied with an "old" phone. What happened to the days when an old phone meant a phone that was already crumbling to pieces, and not a fully functional computer that is slightly older then a toddler?

    Imperial units people, Do you sometimes get confused about time units as well?

    Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc. Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes. Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don't have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    Is it wrong for 25M to date 19F?

    So I met this girl by chance and we really hit it off, once I learned of her age I decided to just be friends as I think that 19 to 25 is an age were we mature a lot and I remember myself as a 19yo and I was not mature enough to be a good partner and to be good to myself. I talked to a female friend of mine and she said that I'm over thinking it and that I should ask her out and be open minded, and so I did and we are going on a date soon. The thing is, she seems really mature but I can't put aside the age gap. Am I over thinking it? Should I really just take it slow and just be vigilant about the situation and notice if this isn't healthy for me or her? Or should I let her down easy and continue as friends? Update: We went on a date and it was great, I read all of the comments and there were some really good advices that I took to heart. I will take things slow and try to be as aware of the situation as possible. I hope it will go well :) Thank you everyone!
