I own a brother printer and never have had an issue. Only had to buy toner once in like ten years. I've had a Tesla for 3 years and will probably have to buy tires in another two years when I get to like 45,000 miles.

So yeah, this tracks I guess?

I think this is better presented as:

"Oh wait you are FOR fascism?"

"No I'm just against antifa."

"There is no like, regulating body for this 'antifa'. It's just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn't supporting fascism. If you aren't a fascist, then you are antifa."

If we need signs saying student driver, the driver is not ready

Batman forever: Something like "It was left by a Mr E.... Mystery! And another word for mystery? Enigma!.... Mr E. Nigma...Edward Nigma!"

I think a big issue is that the government takes a decades long view. This is great because they can plan how to effectively manage our water and other large scale projects with longevity in mind.

Meanwhile, our corporate CEOs take a quarter of a year view. They'd burn the company to the ground as long as it happens after they are stepping down and makes them look good beforehand.

If Trump gets speaker of the house some morons will try to assassinate the president and vice president to make him regain the presidency.

I wish all inclusive resorts were more common in the US. I love cruises but they are SO bad for the environment. We are floating a whole hotel across the sea for very little reason. What I really love about them is like 80% just the all inclusive resort parts. Put that resort near a cool hiking mountain or other fun stuff and my "excursions" for the day will be just as fun, and I don't have to kill the environment to get there!

Oh bonus idea: either all inclusive "resort" train, or connect these resorts via train for the adventure aspect.

This is such a touchy subject I find it difficult to articulate what society actually needs. We need a system where PEDOPHILES are able to receive the mental health they need before they become MOLESTERS.

But any time you say something about helping someone who is attracted to children the knee jerk reaction is always like "kill them. What you don't want them dead? Are YOU a pedophile?" And I end up unable to convince them that helping them to not molest children by treating their mental health condition will actually help children not be molested. I really feel like this reactionary public opinion is causing people to go underground and is actually causing more children to be harmed.

I don't think they are afraid of losing anything specific. It's ingrained at this point.

"If you made straight A's and someone else made straight F's, how would you feel if you both ended up with C's? That's fair right? No? Welcome to the Republican Party. Isn't everyone who doesn't agree with this an idiot? I'm glad we aren't idiots."

I grew up homeschooled and the Christian curriculum my parents used had similar feeling brainwashing tactics. "Scientists searched their whole lives to disprove the Bible, then ended up Christians instead!" Making you feel smart for not wasting your life like the other guy, you are already in the "good" group.

I like all the comments about burnout and addressing that. When I was in a similar mindset, I would dream of hiking the pct. 6 months on a trail where all I had to worry about was walking. Or I could take a 0 day and enjoy camp. Slow paced life. I even bought books and learned the equipment I would need. Spent vacations testing that equipment and adjusting to what I actually needed. I remember coming back from five nights out staying in a camping hammock and being amazed at the "palace" I live in comparatively.

I could go at any time I felt work was absolutely too much. I almost did. For some reason, having all that knowledge and feeling like I could go was enough of a mental break for me to carry on.

At least consider doing one of the long trails. It might address your burnout and give you the feeling of closeness to nature you are looking for. Maybe you will want to do a homestead after that. Maybe that hike will be enough. Worth a consideration anyways.

For like 10 years my work didn't want to pay as many pharmacist hours so offered 30 hour full time roles for the slower stores. I rode that wave as long as I could. It's a really stressful job, but at 30 hours it felt like I had a rough job. At 40+ hours it feels like I have a rough life. I'm fully in support of this 32 hour workweek. Those extra few hours won back can be magical for physical health, mental health, hobbies. I even got an extra degree in computer science.

We need different terms for people who HAVE a million dollars and people who MAKE a million per year. Lots of people will read this millionaire's tax and think it will apply to them when they are nearing retirement since they finally have a million dollars after saving all their life.
