Who's going to take care of you when you grow old?

People always say this, but unless you're Asian or from a (non-Western) culture they are most probably just going to throw you into a home to rot. It basically never works out the way everyone thinks where the kids welcome the parent(s) into their home and take care of them in their final years. I can understand it from both ways. You looked after them when they needed you, they should return the favour, right? Though at the same time, the kids are probably trying to start a family of their own and carve out their own path in life. Looking after a parent (especially a sick one) can be a burden and they might be more comfortable just letting professionals in a home take care of it.

To be completely honest, I'm struggling too much in life right now to even consider having kids. I know people still find ways of making it work and I'm sure I could do that too. I just wonder what kind of life they would have, and will they still be able to make a life for themselves in another 20+ years or will they have even less opportunities than I do now? That sort of thing. To me it's not something that I would consider a light decision to make. I won't have kids just because I think it would be cool to be a dad or because my girlfriend wants a cute baby or whatever. That's stupid. I want them to have the best possible future, and if I can't provide that, I don't really want to bother.

I had the same experiences growing up. What changed though? Are there actually more weirdos out there, or are we just more aware of it now than before? Hard to have as much of a lackadaisical attitude as our parents had when you hear about this shit pretty much every day.

I still can't believe they ever did a Dragonball one (and from what I've seen, they definitely shouldn't have lol).

I don't know why, but anime and video games just don't seem to translate over to film very well despite there usually being plenty of source material.

Although, comic books have been pretty successful as film in recent years for some reason. You would think the same would apply to them.

There's gotta be a happy medium, imo. You can't be buddy-buddy with them, but you can't pull out your gun at the first sign of resistance.

Maybe a bit like parenting. You need to be stern and let them know what's up but you shouldn't be too lax or too aggressive.

Pretty fucked how you legit can't talk to or interact with kids in any way (even your own) as a man without people thinking you're a pedo.

I consider personality to be closely related to having genuine hobbies and skills, and actively participating in those things.

If all you do is consume media and regurgitate memes and the opinions of others, you probably don't have much of a personality of your own.

Raids arent meant to have matchmaking. Itd be a mess.

It's already a mess if you're ever playing with even one rando. It needs to be all good friends that have played together before or nothing.

It should at least be an option for people that don't have five friends available for several hours at any given time. Could even join up with like 4-5 other people and then use the matchmaking to grab another. Just have it there, you don't have to use it if you don't want to type of deal.

It's why I stopped playing as well. Every expansion is like 2-3 hours of new missions, a new strike or two, leaves the story unfinished, then "k go do the raid now or when it's released." For something that is basically THE endgame thing it's a pretty big mistake to not even offer the option.

When the genders are flipped you don't get a whole lot of "Smh, this chick can't get a real man her own age so she has to resort to preying on a literal child!"

Most people seem to support it and some even praise the guy for being able to bed an older woman. Funny how that works, considering most would agree that males are more immature on average.

That's true, but it's also like applying for a job in a sense. If you're the only one applying for the job or the best out of a handful that do, chances are you'll luck out and get an interview (or even a job).

If you're one of hundreds of applicants and there are many, many more applicants that are much more "qualified" than you.. your lack of superficial fluff won't help you stand out and most will pass up the chance to get to know what you could bring to a potential job (relationship).

That's how I see it, anyway. If you don't have a certain amount of looks or money, you don't exist to most women. You might get lucky and get to know a really beautiful and amazing girl on a deeper level and have an opportunity to become something more because of work or friends, but most aren't going to give you the opportunity to even step up to the plate to bat (how did I go from work to baseball analogies? Lol).

One time I had ordered pizza and had already been waiting around for a bit when I suddenly had to piss. I was even thinking to myself that the dude will probably show up mid-stream or some shit, lol.

Sure enough, doorbell rings just as I'm shaking it out. I don't know what happened next, but I guess I put it away too carelessly and zipped up too fast because the skin underneath got partially caught.. and jfc, it was immediately the biggest regret of all time. I winced just now thinking about it again.

It was all I could do to make my way to the door somewhat upright and try to keep a straight face while I paid for the pizza. No idea what the dude must have been thinking.

This is the worst part about messaging women because a lot of them don't get back to you right away, even if you think it's something important. Then I always think why isn't she responding? There's no fucking way she doesn't have her phone in her hands right this second. Did I say something wrong?

Never goes well if you think about it too much. Just one and done, you can't worry about it anymore after that. Maybe she gets back to you later that day or the next, maybe she doesn't. Just fire off a quick text and then live your life. Ball's in her court after that.

I marvel at how quick everyone has been to forget what he was like in the 90s.

This benevolent eccentric father figure image he's fashioned in the last 10 years is very far away from the murders and executions CEO that everyone feared in the decade previous.

This. I also find his humanitarian work to be suspect but that's pretty much another topic entirely.

Actually, I think anyone that chases after and hoards billions of dollars is a bit sociopathic, if not psychopathic outright. The average person has no need or even want for that kind of money.

There are some things that I think have genuinely no redeeming qualities whatsoever and I can't understand how anyone could possibly begin to get any enjoyment out of it whatsoever.

But then again, I also think that someone could just as easily look at some of the things I like and say the same thing. So yeah, different strokes and all that.

When I'm in Italy, everyone refers to me as an american even though I'm canadian.

I mean, our country is called Canada, not the Canadian Provinces of America. We don't have America in the country's name.

I think that would just happen if you're a white guy without a noticeable "British style" accent. >_>

I've heard so many people say that you should sew a Canadian flag onto your backpack or wear a pin or something on your clothes when traveling abroad and people will generally treat you better. Seems pretty douchey to me though.

They're going to shed more than some other breeds, particularly entering into summer and winter. It's likely that you will have to deal with there being some hair around the house, but you can likely keep it to a minimum with regular upkeep (dog brushing, vacuuming, using a swiffer type broom or duster, etc).

You pretty much have to weigh in on whether that's something you want to deal with or not, it's definitely a major con to owning pets. You do adapt to it pretty quickly though. You can always give your clothes a once or twice over with a lint brush or lint roller to remove the hair before leaving the house.

It mentions in the teen and young adult population. It's probably not good to take drugs of any kind (this includes prescription ones like SSRIs and ADHD meds) that will have a marked effect on the developing mind. Your brain isn't fully formed until 25-26 iirc, so any regular drug use before then might have a lifetime of complications.

That being said, weed isn't 100% safe or side effect free as some proponents would claim. Is it safer than most other drugs or vices? You could certainly make an argument for that.

It's pretty tough when you have a dysfunctional family. You want to just walk out that door and never come back. Sometimes it's for the best that you do, for your own mental health and so that you can stop letting them drag you down and focus on getting more out of your own life than they ever will.

It's sad because you still have your mom. Hopefully you can distance yourself from the rest and still maintain a relationship with her and she'll understand your reasons and not just say "family is family" or "come on give 'em another chance" or something.

Despite constantly hearing about how ravenous the sexual appetite is of older women, I still find younger girls to bring more energy to the bedroom and livelihood to the relationship. I don't know, might just be my (limited) experience.

I never really date that much younger than me though, maybe just four years maximum. If I tried to go for an eighteen or nineteen year old now I doubt I could keep up, especially if they were super into partying all the time like most of them seem to be.

Is there a source on this?

Cuz the only folks I've heard saying it are the same sort who thinks soy turns you into a woman

The bared-teeth display, also referred to as the fear grin, or grimace, is one of the most conspicuous and well-studied facial expressions in ethology and has been reported in a variety of mammalian species from canids to primates. Research has shown, however, that the communicative function of this expression can differ quite broadly depending on the species, their type of social organization and social context. In wolves, for example, retraction of the lips horizontally over the teeth results in a submissive grin which is used by cubs and subordinates when actively greeting adult conspecifics, or humans (Fox, 1969 ).

Antithetical to this expression is a vertical lip retraction which is given by dominant animals during aggressive interactions, very similar facial movements but with vastly different social functions (Darwin, 1872 ; Fox, 1969 ).

Among primates, the function of the bared-teeth also has different meanings depending on the species and their type of social organization. Among macaques species that have despotic social systems characterized by strict, linear dominance hierarchies, i.e. rhesus monkeys, the bared-teeth display appears to be a signal of submission, or rank recognition in that it is only given by subordinates to higher ranking individuals (van Hooff, 1976 ; de Waal and Luttrell, 1985 ).

TIL that xenoestrogens in plastics and other common household items doesn't actually lead to hormonal issues in both sexes and increased rates of breast cancer in women because "it's not mammalian estrogen."

Yeah, basically, I don't want to suffer. Although I don't like the idea of getting older either. Just becoming worse in every way, forever. Most old people I see are very weak and very sick. Rotting in both mind and body. I'd rather die before that happens, quality over quantity.

I really don't like the idea of people close to me dying though.

This is a constant struggle and I have no solution or bandage for it.

Same. It's truly unfortunate that free time is so hard to come by, and by the time you get it (if you ever do) you're often too stressed or burnt out to enjoy it. It's a sad life.

It's like they say: When you're a kid you have time and energy but no money. When you're an adult you have money and energy but no time. When you're old/retired you have money and time but no energy.

the Sophie one doesn't make sense...So...did she have the substance tested before or after? are they trying to say she did it before, knew what was in it and then when she was given it at a later date she knew what was in it so she didn't OD?....they didn't finish that one i think. the rest make some sense.

All of these are things people could have done to prevent or minimize harm, but clearly didn't do. So she didn't have it tested, didn't know what it actually was, and it was obvious laced with something more harmful than regular old LSD.

I find this advertising campaign interesting but it'll ultimately fall on deaf ears. You can tell people until you're blue in the face "Hey, be careful out there." They just think it'll never happen to them and they won't take preventative measures until it actually does (and by then it's often already too late).

Edit: Actually, I'm unsure of this now after going back and re-reading them. I'm not sure if all these people actually died because they did the opposite of what is stated here or were careless, or if they all in fact lived because they acted responsibly. Is it a warning or a demonstration? >_>
