TV would also have you believe being President of the US is somehow not a job for a clown.

Unsurprising from the same people who light train tracks on fire and lean out on glass 400 stories in the air for a thrill.

While Lemmy wasted his life playing music, Lenny was balls deep.

Also in the US, the bottom 50% don't pay a dime in federal income taxes.

Also the concept of "MY" tax dollars is super selfish.

I bet the IOPS for this is abysmally low.

Seeing more of your responses, it is clear you spend too much time online in anti-capitalist groups and expect people to just magically accomplish your ideals.

Good luck to you and your bitterness. The rest of us have actual lives to live and bills to pay. It's not as binary as you see it.

I needed to live and pay bills and take care of a family. I tried to write it in a sensitive way and it still wasn't good enough for your entitled, priviliged, and judgmental stance.

Some of us literally have no ability to just entertain "adventure." We needed to just survive. And I was simply stating that I think some people need to be a bit more willing to make hard choices to better their lives, such as moving where their particular jobs are more likely to be.

It has nothing to do with licking boot. It has to do with reality and survival. But a secondary benefit was that I found joy in my career and what I do since it's a public service type of career as well. I also became a productive member of society and can now help others a bit in various ways.

I'll also add that while the goal at the time was not to do anything I wanted, but to do what I needed, I wound up in a degree and field that is still interesting (I didnt study what I wanted, I studied what I thought might pay well and which I was good at). Moving for jobs was significant to changing my life and giving some new perspective and adventure in the simple sense that I got away from where I grew up and saw a different place and have met and worked with tons of great people from all over the world who also moved here. It was not my original purpose, and it's not the same as travel for adventure or leisure which was not something I could ever entertain for the majority of my life, but it has in a way given me adventure I wasn't seeking.

I will also note the original move for a job itself was never simple. We literally slept on floors for the first few weeks.

I don't regret any of it. Our lives are immensely better today for making hard but smart moves for the better. Others should also do the same if they have options to better their lives.

This was an excellent serious comic book about this topic. It focuses on Kent State and some actual students lives leading up to it, with a heck of a lot of sources and information about where they got their info from to construct the story. This I think tells a great accounting of this significant event in the lead-up to Jackson, which happened not long after. I was able to read this from my local library.

But getting more sex coverage on news media is good, I like that.

"... and she added that it was pretty good, but she wishes he'd have spent a bit more time warming her up first. Back to the studio."

"Wow. Excellent report, Kelly. Fascinating sex life Jill and Bob have. More at 11."

 

The best way to see the hero involves kidnapping.

From Ys I Chronicles played on Steam Deck. An excellent older game and story.

 

Companies truly understand the consumer.

 

Friends and adventurers going into the unknown together. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for Vita.

 

Ys I Chronicles on Steam Deck. A (very important to the lore) woman that the main character rescues is fainting because she had to walk all the way back to town. What a monster he is to not carry her the entire way! Haha.

 

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana on Vita. Getting ready for a Gendarme mountaintop boss fight.

 

PS Vita game Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This is early into the game when you find your first castaway. Adol stumbled on her bathing in the stream.

I personally always loved the Vita graphics and the feel of the handheld, so I prefer this version of the game.

 
 

Is there a good community for sharing funny or ridiculous threads of lemmy comments and conversations?

It's an experience to be taken seriously.
