Ah, I simply avoid that problem by being neither cute nor hot - and therefore single.

Congratulations, it’s a goth!

The average IQ is 100. That is not a lot and half of the population is below that. I’m more surprised how bad our education system is in filtering out the dumb people. Someone who is ‘not smart’ but has good memory and is diligent can make it frighteningly far in our society. Not to mention nepo babies who are a different kind of problem

Either that or you are necrophiliac

“It would get old fast”? Op, I’m afraid you don’t have good friends. When I was a university student, I was in a shared apartment with two friends. It was great: you always had someone to do stuff with and group activities were much easier to schedule.

Now that I’m older it would be nice to easily check who’s up for something, spontaneously grill with everyone or simply sit together in the evening and talk.

My friends group still goes on vacation together from time to time and I love it. If your friends are only enjoyable in small doses… I don’t know… that sounds sad.

Also with a house of your own, everyone would have enough space to retreat if necessary.

Besides from the bad gardening that was mentioned by the other posts, I would love to live like this.

You know you have to get a cat named Anton now, right?

Breaks are unpaid because that was another way to minimize what workers have to be paid.

Businesses always look for ways to pay their employees less and only change practices when forced.

Without strong unions and support from politicians things tend to get worse and worse.

Too bad that we have neither.

Schools - and some businesses - see getting up early as some kind of achievement, a trait to be proud of. A thought that was mirrored in the influencer scene with the insane ‘grindset’ videos. Get up early and get done more than the others… Completely ignoring that the amount of sleep we need doesn’t change with how early you get up.

Some people get up early and have no problem with that, but that’s not the case for everyone. In the dawn of time, it was better to have some people who get up early and some who prefer to stay up late: that way the tribe was better protected because the time where everyone was sleeping was minimized.

Now everyone who biologically tends to be more productive when they can work late and get up late is painted as lazy and forced to work against their inner clock.

Oh it trickles down. Just not money, but at least it’s warm and golden 🙏

Probably creates by a group of middle-aged men who never touched a console.

People with no idea about the product who simply looked at the target demographics and thought:

"What do teenage boys like? Sex.

Let’s go with that since research is hard."

Won’t somebody think of the shareholders!

Every time someone pirates a game, a shareholder is a little bit further away from their third private jet!

How can you sleep at night?!?

Never watched it. Was she canonically gay? That would have been quite progressive for the time.

And don’t forget how one bakery could pay their employees only the bare minimum, cut corners where they can and use the profit to undercut the ‘good’ bakery until the ‘good’ bakery goes bankrupt and the ‘bad’ bakery can simply be a local monopoly and raise prices as they like.

It might be that bad. Most ‘damage’ (as publishers see it) comes from distribution, not the download itself. Depending on how they acquired the books, it might be not be much of a problem.

Well, whatever you need to get hard, I guess /s

That’s not Linux, that is Tux… And you might be an open source furry. What are your thoughts about GNUs?

Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.

With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM “decided” that you probably are a terrorist…

Well if you are serious: try to find a job abroad. Immigration is a lot easier if you already have a job lined up.

I hope everyone always calls ICE on them, whenever someone notices these rich immigrants.

Even if they don’t take them into custody, wasting both their time would be a good start.

Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.
