It would certainly make life less stressful.

Just as being able to learn and accept the truth about oneself is vital to growth and understanding, the same is true for one's own country. Too many rabid so called "patriots" view any criticism or condemnation as anti-American. You can't make anything better until you admit what is wrong.

Rectangle of knowledge knows all.

Lucky me. I was raised knowing that "Some people live to work and some people work to live. There's nothing wrong with either as long as you choose it and know it." My mom is and was a wise person.

I like experiencing a lot of different places. I've already had more jobs than my mum.

I probably will regret everything when I am older

Wouldn't it be lovely if going to college was something one did simply because they desired higher learning? I'm Gen X and couldn't afford college so I started working right out of high school. After working my way up, I have the same high paying, mostly satisfying job as many, many uni graduates but I don't have any of that degree debt. While I don't have regrets per se, if I could do it all over again, I'd have chosen a trade. Electricians will ALWAYS be needed! ;)

My father was always deeply disappointed we didn't have flying cars like he was promised in the 1950s.

Being too nice…will make you resentful towards others at some point.

Yeah, drugs are expensive

Eh, I'd argue that a lot of "ordinary people" behave quite weirdly on the internet. People do weird things from the other side of a screen. Sure, there are great communities on the internet of like-minded people with niche interests. It becomes a dangerous problem when those "niche interests" are conspiracy theories, Qanon, and/or anti-vaxxer rhetoric. Even ignoring actual internet predators, there's a grain of truth to this statement.

But aren't ordinary people dangerous weirdos ?

My parents think that everyone on the internet that isnt me or my friends is a sweaty 40 year old man that lives in his parents basement.

I'm an ordinary person but I'm also definitely a weirdo and I'm clumsy as all hell so maybe I'm dangerous too? lmao

I dunno, I met my current girlfriend on the internet, and she's a weirdo, but not dangerous

yahoo pool was kinda skecthy sometimes

Most people are weirdos

Yes, we are

It all makes sense, but that doesn't mean it's sensible.

The idea that guys would have sex with women even when they think women cant enjoy it makes me very uncomfortable

Yeah. Those broken bones heal up well enough. Still in counselling for some of those words...

Wait untill you are 30+... Still figuring s**t out, cant really get engaged with a girl that i adore with every single molecule in my body becouse we cant afford to live togehter yet (she is currently uneployed), prices are waay up in my country, taxes are nightmare, paychek is the same for the past 5 years (barely to survive ffs), was told that if i study ill get awesome job LOOOL, politics is everything here - cant even say a word against the ruling party. Average person is f****d, i get deppresed for playing a video game before bed becouse i feel like i am not working that hour, i am wasting time doing something i enjoy and something that helps me cope with reality...

THIS!!!! I have absolutely internalized this! It's to the point where even if a guy I'm in a committed relationship with says he DOESN'T want standard sex (which I physically can't do without extreme pain) I can't believe him and I know I'm letting him down sexually. He can't possibly be happy/fulfilled with our relationship as a whole if he's not getting penis/vagina sex.

Much more normal timeframe in Europe. All of it.

In consumer math class we were actually told there is "good debt" and "bad debt". I now see it all as just debt that can cripple you for life.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 tell me another one. Didn't realise this was for satire posts

There's a problem with Boomers not retiring, not downsizing, not sharing leadership positions, etc. It's tough -- tough for both Boomers and Millenials. It's tough that in a lot of places, Boomers don't have the savings or social support network to be able to retire. It's tough that so many are caring for adult children who can't afford to live on their own. It's also tough that in many places, Millennials are being effectively barred from home ownership, political power, and good careers because the Boomers in those positions won't or can't step back.

Honestly I like my job. Doesn't even really feel like going to work. I know I am lucky

That you are fighting to protect your country. The reality is you are only protecting the rich people's interests around the world, their investments and international corporations. Very rarely are armed forces use for good like to save people from ethnic cleansing atrocities.

I still want to be a lottery winner!

Work warehouse jobs for a little bit until you get to choose a little more. Thank me later

Dad explained it to me in the fifties; the dome light reflects on the inside of the windshield, interfering with the ability of the driver to see ahead. Immediately I turned the light, and it was undoubtedly true. In old cars, with crude bulbs and flat glasses was almost impossible to look ahead from certain angles. Modern cars don't have much of a problem.

The problem is, everyone else's parents told them the same thing. And when everyone has a degree, they aren't worth s*** anymore. Degrees used to be for people who had a genuine interest in something and wanted to pursue it - once it became the default setting, even for people who had no real interest in studying something, the wheat got lost in the chaff.

I have notice the 'age of retiring' is creeping up. Also, I'm sure they're going to push back the age to qualify for old age pension (Canadian) because we're living so much longer.

Probably because there weren't as many lawyers when the person giving this advice was younger, so they could charge more within what the market could sustain. Then everyone went to law school hoping to fit into that market, supply outstripped demand and lawyers don't earn as much any more because there are so many to choose from. Give it another decade and the engineers may face a similar glut of workers.

We did this at horse shows for the toddler ( leadline) classes cause the kids all enjoyed getting something and at that age don't really care about or understand placings. I remember a slightly older group maybe 8-9 year olds showing in hand and a little boy wanting to swap his pink 5th place ribbon with the green sixth place cause he liked green better. So yeah its def the parents who care more about winning than the kids when they are little.
