The depressing thing is how often it works

I can just imagine this as a scene in a fallout game. Lonely old rich fuck hidden away for years. You ring the intercom and he's so excited to hear another voice that he invites you in. Starts spewing shit opinions. You eventually realize he could've helped stop the apocalypse but built the bunker and profited instead. Look at all the loot. Inform him he can either become a smear on the wall or caretaker of your new place.

I had an acquaintance ask me about my opinion on crypto a few years ago and I explained it only has the perceived value and is highly volatile as a result, and that all but a few coins were basically rug pulls waiting to happen. He was satisfied with that and moved on. About a year later crypto had roughly doubled in value and he gave me shit about bad advice (it was an opinion not investment advice) and proceeded to move $10k into some coin I'd never heard of. About a month later a mutual friend said the other guy had lost like $8k of his $10k investment. Next time I saw the acquaintance there was no mention of crypto.

"he's playing 5d chess" "That's no rook, that's a cat's turd."

Don't worry about it. Just move on. Some people just have fucked up taste buds. It's some error of evolution that just hasn't been bred out.

As a millennial I get your anger, but the guy you're responding to is right. An average working boomer had no more say in the policies enacted than you or I and the majority will be flat broke by the time they die, outlook isn't much better for Gen X either. The establishment has done a wonderful job running us around and keeping us focused on the wrong fights. They've done it so well that even saying it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me when I know it to be true.

The tax rates for the ultra wealthy need to be increased to post WW2 levels, we need to get corporate money out of politics and the news. The people in power hold nearly all the cards and have convinced everyone the cards we hold are useless or immoral. The truth is we need better ways to organize and connect with local like-minded people to pool resources, hinder competition and bring the oligarchs down.

I too am from a place bidets are rare, literally don't know anybody else who has one. But after that first wash I was changed, made a true believer; anybody who talks bad about bidets is shit talking something I love. Try one, join us on the smug and clean side of butthole's.

It's the stoplight's fault! Ban stop signs, traffic lights and remove speed limits and we'll never have gridlock again!!!

I was in a similar situation about 8 years ago. Married my dream girl, she seemed perfect for those years of flirting and dating. Didn't really notice that she'd slowly separated me from my support network. After we got married it was like a switch was flipped, I was always on the defensive, everything I did was wrong, I was always the bad guy. Woke up one day feeling like it'd be better if I just wasn't around anymore. Stewed in my misery for months before realizing one evening that there was a source of my misery. Spent another couple of months feeling too embarrassed to do anything. Then one day she was giving me shit over some nonsense and I just blurted it out. It wasn't easy, but things slowly got back on track. I focused on myself and what was in my control, got back in shape, found time for hobbies I'd left behind, brought myself the joy that was missing. Now I'm happily married to an amazing woman who's provided me with an equally amazing child and it's hard for me to even remember the anguish I was going through.

Obviously our situations aren't the same, but I just wanted to share and let you know that things get better. Some friends will filter back in, some won't. Any mutual friends I had with my ex are just gone, she made sure to put barriers between us with shit talking and lies; fuck them too, they weren't true friends.

"a bunch of people told an ignorant person they were wrong and that offended me because I'm also ignorant and that makes me upset."

Bro grow up and wash your asshole. If you stepped in shit barefoot would you be cool just wiping it with paper and moving on or would you use water? Bidets should be standard in the USA, absolutely barbaric using the sandpaper corporate America has deemed acceptable.

You can literally wear a mask and just put tape over a couple cameras while it's stopped at a light and the whole thing will just freak out. Spray paint is probably even faster.

In an ideal situation you'd save maybe a minute. But in the real world with stop lights and signs you'd probably be closer to 20-30 seconds.
