@DW2 White privilege is having to succeed on your own merits instead of getting coddled and pandered to at every turn. Ironically, this actually helps the whites that are strong enough to swim against the currents by making them stronger, meaning they understand how to truly be successful. The outside observers see these few successful white men and assume (incorrectly) that they got coddled just like the non-whites.

@sickburnbro If you want even more NPRisms, I can provide a couple more:

-"without evidence"
-calling things complicated or saying more context is required when the simple explanation is against the narrative
-claiming that someone was previously spreading misinformation while only citing said incident without bringing up the supposed misinformation because it turned out later to be completely true.

NPR is worse than most. Just because they used hushed tones does not mean they are not scum.

Better advice is indeed more universal, and most cases less specific.

For making money, I think it is important to look for something that you are capable of doing competently that will give you a good return on your investment (i.e. pays well and gives you enough time away from work). Along with that, it should be something that you do not completely hate doing (I think it is a mistake to tell people that they should love the job they are working in order to find happiness).

This applies to other ways people suggest making money, such as real estate/rental properties.

Not everyone is going to navigate selling/renting out property as well as those who did find success. Their success might not even be fully attributed to their own skills alone, as they might have hit a good streak of sales that cannot be counted on at all times.

And not everyone wants to be on the hook for maintaining rental properties either (not always going to be easy "passive income").

One problem I have when any individual gives advice is that they often assume that their advice can be universally applied. Often, their advice requires circumstances that assumes something unique is more universal.

"If you want to make good money in a reliable career, learning to code is the way to go!"

This assumes that everyone is even capable of doing this (too many people are indeed too stupid) or that it will be a job that they would want to stick with.

Whether or not the charges against Trump are a complete bullshit witch hunt or not, I have come to realize I do not care about the outcome. What will change? It is not as if him being charged is going to prevent him from winning the presidential election. That will already happen regardless with the "election securing" by the Democrats.

Perhaps it will give the left some bread and circuses. I have similar thoughts if the left decides to throw Biden under the bus in the future. It means nothing.

@deprecated_ii Absolutely. I just LOVE going through dozens of different function calls when debugging before I figure out what actually is going on in the code. I t is even more fun to use Find All References over and over again before I get to the part where something is actually happening!

It is just so inconvenient if I have to scroll down the page a little bit! And my brain starts hurting if I read something that is not one tiny section of text at a time!

@MasterSimper Yes, being rejected sucks. But now you know where things stand, and you are not going to regret not finding out or letting things build up in your head too much. Too often young men invest way too much of their energy in speculating on potential relationships, and it is unproductive in many ways.

@Stahesh Bad time to use the meme, as the anon is not out of line. But what can you expect from Reddit?

@mutageno Not saying he was great or a savior by any means. But rather that he was played by the Cathedral into greenlighting the vaxx. I am arguing against the idea that he was architecting the vaxx or was truly instrumental in the rollout of the vaxx. They made him think that he was, as it works perfectly with his ego. As I said, played.

And yes, he did way too much talk while doing too little.

@LouisConde Could we instead reconsider whether or not someone is simply a lost cause if they are coming to school drunk/high/possessing drugs. It is not like getting a high school diploma is going to change their lives and make them better people.

Even as school has become worse, it is still emphasized as critical by midwits who think school is the key to success.

@furgar "Oh his words are so extreme!"

He is simply taking the climate change hysteria propaganda to its logical conclusion. We need less people? We need less resource consumption? Well, if you die, that is one less person and less resource consumption.

On a smaller scale, these climate change fanatics are not really willing to make changes in their own lives, but think someone else should do it.

@mutageno This does not excuse his actions or excuse his further shilling for the vaxx. Though one thing I know for sure, it was Biden who tried to mandate people take it. And we all saw how the left did a complete 180 on the vaxx once they got in power. Which just showed how fake and gay things really were, and probably saved a ton of right winger's lives who realized something was up with said 180 by lefty politicians.

@mutageno Yes, he absolutely pushed the vaxx. My theory was that he was looking for any solution that could just stop the whole "we're in a PANDEMIC," which is why he originally pushed for HCQ. And surprise, the Cathedral circled the wagons to say that HCQ was dangerous. The vaxx was something that the Cathedral allowed Trump to have as a solution, playing along with his own desire to be the one who solved the problem. I don't think he realized he was being played.

@Tfmonkey I know you said you were over the whole Destiny "debate," but if you have not seen this, it should further confirm that debating the likes of Destiny is a waste of time.

Yes, you heard that right. Destiny needs an article to tell him what to think instead of determining the meaning that is plain as day in front of him. What a tool.
