@Ken67547214@DefenderOfBasic You do to a point my wife has both parents and before her dad passed I was given the opportunity to live vicariously through her. Admiration isn’t really what you miss as much as the how to’s you are expected to learn.
@Ken67547214@DefenderOfBasic What’s worse is finding your dad at 40 and realizing it’s easier to continue to believe he does not exist then dealing with the complicated issues that arise from that
I sometimes think about those distant tribes who believed that every picture of yourself takes a piece of your soul away. And I look around at the world and I believe they may have been on to something.
Growing up, my mom took me to Pride marches when they were still protests.
She taught me that if someone else’s rights are under attack, you don’t stand on the sidelines—you stand beside them.
That lesson has stayed with me my entire life.
@Ken67547214 That actually makes sense if you look at every industry individually you can kinda see it. I’ve long had the feeling we are living on scraps and selling them back and forth to each other. Like a forgotten civilization we came across.
@Ken67547214 The timing with “quantum” also adds up if super compute was the biggest benefit they gotta free up power for data centers. So the 2030 timeline is probably just to make people feel like they didn’t waste trillions likely for a boondoggle
This is not a unique to nyc behavior this is white woman behavior especially raised middle class or at least a 6. They never heard no and when they do someone is always there to tell them how they are right. White privilege is actually white woman privilege
Not much to add to this discourse except that I’m consistently astounded by how many people there are in New York who have this exact mentality and sense of entitlement. Like at what point do you grow up and be an actual adult lol
