I am surprised to hear such a realistic assessment.

I thought this was going to be like the wall or tariffs, but yeah the us tax payer will fund the foreign country’s infrastructure.

and even in that context survivors of a sinking ships were picked up.

Zip disks at least the 100’s had the same tactile qualities, little door to fidget and label space all while having that satisfying clicking sound each time you used them.

Be sure to keep that. I stopped crying a while back and it felt not good to have no tears left for people who truly loved me.

No. It’s not acceptable at all to have feelings. No one will care in a positive way if you do as a man.

There is no acceptable outlets for emotion as a man.

This is way weird political shit gets so much traction as it is considered to be acceptable to be angry at idea you don’t agree with,hate an opponent or other and you are allowed to be happy at the pain you bring them.

Everything else is shut up you don’t know how good you have it or shut up you don’t know how much worse it is for someone else.

I watched season 1. It was a direct young adult audience target. it was pop and pulp while taking it self seriously enough to be finished to the end.

Never have I have had to ask twice from an avid reader for a book recommendation. It’s like asking for a tech geeks favorite linux distro.

I know and chat with actual literature professors and professional authors. Someone who knows what they are talking about is not reluctant to share knowledge with people. I always learn, even by accident being in the mere vicinity of those folks. You are not from that group.

For you I recommend Something Happened, by Joseph Heller

I suspect your life is going to go about as good as Bob’s life. Nice easy book by a famous author. I’ve read dozens of books and this was one of them.

Reddit needs you. You shouldn’t bother posting on lemmy. You bringing nothing of value.

Yes. I’m apparently a fool for not going along with it.

It’s vigorously supported.

As someone who has read thousands of books you should be able to clearly and accurately describe the major flaws and recommend books that were superior in relation to the problems you see.

That’s why I bothered reading this back and forth for so long. I am someone who has NOT read thousand of books , but enjoyed the 8 books of mistborn.

I’d be joyed to read something in the same vein but even better.

It’s honestly expensive enough that even a 6-10k repair on a car seems acceptable to me. I have a 15 year old car and recently replaced the AC system at 3k for a car that cost 11k when I bought it.

I’d love to replace it. The interior is wearing out, but like you noted cars are 40+K

I know that linux is the popular answer to this problem.

I use a Mac and it’s a pretty good machine. I know it isn’t for everyone, but it works well enough for me and has enough mainstream support. As well the hardware has gotten ’ good enough’

MacOS is not hostile to me when I want to run and install programs. There is some opensource support on the platform and the a good amount of closed source programs.

I do miss the wide ranging PnP hardware support for things like SAS/LTO

Thanks. Realize the kind of answer I gave won’t win me ‘points’ .

realistically if I could do that for my kids I would. I think lots of wealthy families do, only when the opportunities are media facing does it get backlash.

There isn’t a social media page devoted to farm families passing down multimillion dollar businesses as a matter of fact.

Life isn’t even close to a level playing field. The family you are born into had the greatest effect on your future success than nearly any other factor.

I mean likely. I live in a better school district than most and have time to spend to help my kids with homework. I usually attribute all kid success to kid efforts. Don’t foresee myself as an adult going full narcissist and claiming credit,even partial, for the kid success.

It would be up to them to publicly acknowledge what they had other didn’t. Otherwise it’s kneecapping their achievements.

I mean it’s true. She doesn’t like hearing it.

It’s like the old craft system. A cobblers son was most likely to be a cobbler because they grew up around the skills tools and equipment. If a parent has a high level of skill and resources it’s way easier to teach it to a kid for a kid and for them to succeed.

I mean I would loved to have a parent in a position to help fund and guide my first business venture like that kids has.

If I was successful, I would do that for my kids.
