Persons, groups of people, governments, territories, borders, citizens, immigrants. I’m pretty sure Nazi Germany had every one of these and now that Trump is president, I’m supposed to believe that we have all of these coincidentally? Next stop: Auschwitz.

IIRC immich is like a google photos replacement. I use nextcloud for that on android but it’s not so simple on ios. How’s immich for ios, do uploads work automatically in the background? How’s performance?

Why would you respect someone, and does that respect require them to care how you feel?

Respect has nothing to do with friendship and you can hate someone and respect them at the same time. In the adult world I suppose.

One can not value others opinions of them and not want to he disrespected at the same time. No contradiction.

I agree with your point that not all rich people deserve or have earned it but I think most people have, just based on personal experience and attention to this detail.

Look at the number of CEOs in the US it’s actually a pretty low number, I think <300K. Most people around and below CEO will need to compete in some way and most people serving coffee actually wouldn’t want to be competing in these positions anyway.

I recently thought, if we paid people based on a persons importance in society so many things would be turned upside down. Example, day care workers are very important to a childs well being and education and are paid so little. If you paid them much better it would create incentives and competition for those positions. The smarter more driven people who would not have considered the position at such a low wage would be drawn in and as a result the quality of education would improve. That same dynamic applied anywhere else would have the same effect.

Without an enforced rule like this, people who “deserve” more money might take jobs that don’t pay well, think education or research. You end up with open positions around CEOs, upper and middle management, that need to be filled that don’t require skills as much as say availability and experience doing specific things like scheduling.

I say all of this as a boots-on-the-ground senior engineer who refuses to take a management role, could make more money by doing less and have people being me coffee.

This is actually correct. I will say that these higher-ups are unreasonably dumb though. I work with a lot of them. It’s like they traded low IQ skills like wiping their ass with “high IQ” skills like being marketed to and going to conventions to find out how to generate synergy.

Farmers. Farmers can make a lot of money, they hire “unskilled” immigrants to harvest crops and shit like that (often if not usually illegal immigrants) and “underpay” them. It’s a complicated situation that people usually look down on but everyone benefits in some way. Is it fair that a legal US citizen would be paid more for the same work? Not really because the same employee costs a lot more to employ, and some of that wage pays into the system whereas people paid under the table do not.

Automotibles are not car culture. If anything car culture turns a garage into a third place, by your definition, and brings other people out of their houses and out of the workplace, to meet. Car culture is more an adaptation people have made due to the advent of the automotible and the problems you attribute to “car culture”. Everything has expanded and is cut up by streets and shit because automotibles are useful… as a side effect has made it harder to have a third place, as you have pointed out, and so people who engage in car culture actually overcome the challenge by integrating automotibles into their culture, they persevere.

I would actually make the same argument for internet culture. The internet isn’t internet culture, and if anything internet culture has allowed people to express themselves through the internet, embracing it and integrating it into their lives rather than just living beside it. For people who consider themselves part of internet culture, the internet is their third place where they play.

With that said, it’s still an interesting idea. I do think we pay a high price for the luxuries that we have today and it’s not well understood. Having infrastructure designed around automotibles, for example, fucking sucks.

Okay well, whats the benefit to the male?

Your dad took your mother’s dads name.

That makes sense. I plugged in what I think my dad was making in 95 and it was quite a bit more than I’m making now. Explains the big house, kids, etc.

Partner and I are millinials, household income ~200K, one child, excellent credit, no debt. Partner’s standards are a tad high but I’m unusually spartan with some minor capital expenditures, so I feel we balance out.

I grew up middle class and on paper we put my parents to shame, nevertheless they built a huge house, had three kids, five cars, fed the family… while my partner and I struggle to find a home while paying for one kid.

Something doesn’t add up.

That said I do wonder if it would basically be impossible to top the boomers on wealth and cost of living. Think back before WWII and how hard was it on the average joe, probably a lot harder than we want to admit. The boomers mighta hit the jackpot and millennials are stuck basically with the expectation that we should do that well while also footing the bill for all of the “progress” they have made since the 60’s.

Don’t get me wrong, there has been real progress but there has been a lot of “progress” in the wrong directions as well, in some cases 180°. Millennials have been paying for it our whole lives, and I don’t think we are ever going to really come out ahead, we’ll bust our asses to break even but honestly I’m okay with that if it sets our children up to have a better life.

Socialism loves water.

no.

Would you mind stating your opinion more fully?

The military is comprised of citizens with rights granted by the same documents. I bet there is a large overlap between US patriots and service members.
