| Topic | Landlords provide housing |
| InYourWalls1 02/15/21 2:00:15 PM #108 | legendary_zell posted... For poor people, they literally can't buy a house under any circumstances. It's not a choice for them, they don't qualify for the loans and they don't have the cash. So for someone in that situation, a service is not being provided, they're just paying to exist and have a roof over their heads. They're paying but not acquiring anything permanently, they're just giving over their money and potential savings to add to another party's potential savings. This about sums it up --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

| Topic | ?What are your thoughts on people who believe in astrology |
| InYourWalls1 02/13/21 10:18:21 AM #55 | TheMikh posted... the concept is interesting to think about though, particularly why it's been of enduring interest to societies for so long For sure. I think the bases for it could make sense looking at it in relation to things we've found now like the relative age effect or links between personality traits and birth season. Maybe astrology was just the previous attempt to describe these? --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

| Topic | Is there any point to working hard just to be mediocre? |
| InYourWalls1 02/11/21 4:13:07 PM #17 | It depends on the person, but I'd say in some cases certainly, especially if the thing in question has some fringe benefit (fun, stress relief, distraction etc.) or inherent value to you In itself the act of trying to excel at something can also be fulfilling imo And you also don't necessarily know what your ceiling is until you try the thing, and even then there might points of struggle that appear falsely to you as a plateau when really it's really just a normal part of the process. There are plenty of people who've only reached their peak at a thing later in life too --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

I'm proud to say the brewery I work at makes none of them and never will Even if you don't like them I hardly see how a scene having more variety and being creative is a bad thing --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

| Topic | Did Joel make the right choice at the end of TLOU? *spoilers* |
| InYourWalls1 02/09/21 7:03:25 PM #45 | Darmik posted... From an outside perspective Joel did not do the right thing. But most fathers would do the same thing if they could. Joel saw Ellie as his daughter and loved her. He did the wrong thing for his right reason. Yeah, and then ditto for Abby. It really was masterful how they framed the story and played with perspective UnfairRepresent posted... It's unintentional but the message of the games is basically that Miller's Crossing was right "I always tell my boys, put one in the brain" Haha, yeah you can maybe look at it that way. Though if a character reaches that point they're definitely beyond the pale --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |
| Topic | Give me an album to listen to at work? |
| InYourWalls1 02/09/21 6:53:38 PM #117 | Pus_N_Pecans posted... Magnolia Electric Co. by Songs: Ohia - Kinda reminds me of Neil Young, though the vocals are maybe a bit less "loose"? I'm not sure that's the right word for it. Leans in a bit too far into country western at certain points for my taste, but I thought it was relatively easy to listen to all the same. Yeah - they were definitely big Neil Young fans. The lead singer/writer actually formed the band after he saw them playing in a bar doing a cover of Neil Young's Zuma album haha I'm impressed at your dedication in making it through all these albums so far by the way! I've been going off your comments and discovered some cool stuff here as well --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

Peasants of 3rd worlds moving to a country like the US and making lives for themsevles isn't a story you hear much about from other countrys?

| InYourWalls1 02/09/21 10:42:47 AM #258 | ALIEN_WORK2HOP posted... Whats the general opinion of buying stocks of companies that were effected by covid, ones in the tourism branch for example. So many stocks are just shot to shit at the moment, but many reputable companies will surely recover over the next few years. Seem like safe bets. Any thoughts on this? I think it's a good strategy generally My wife picked up a bunch of Airbus stock over the summer --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

The circumstances you dealt with here were less than ideal, and it was pretty great of you to help out a stranger in need even though you had somewhere to be --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |
| Topic | prolly gonna have to cancel a date, fuck |
| InYourWalls1 02/03/21 6:07:40 PM #83 | Pus_N_Pecans posted... I agree with this, but I also think she seems weird based on her responses. Best to just clear it up for the sake of knowing if it was ever going to be worth it in the first place. Yeah, probably best to make sure there are no miscommunications, but taken at face value if she's responding like that it's a bit of a red flag imo Edit: MonkeyBones23 posted...

| InYourWalls1 02/03/21 5:57:40 PM #31 | Parappa09 posted... haha i wouldn't say no. but i'll need someone with good knowledge + can put up with a newb Haha, naw man, I meant psychedelics stocks. There've been huge leaps made in using them for mental health treatments and they could really be a game changer Some companies in the U.S. have received "breakthrough therapy" designation to accelerate research and get them onto the market quicker, and this was a couple of years ago already so I'd imagine they're not far off now. I know in Canada we have some big companies working on this as well, and I'm sure there are also some big ones in Europe - maybe even the UK as Imperial College has been a big leader in researching this stuff --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

| Topic | Writing General V2 |
| InYourWalls1 02/02/21 4:00:20 PM #16 | DuranOfForcena posted... the other dominant inspiration for my setting comes from the ancient Greek city states and Plato's vision of the ideal society Kallipolis as described in The Republic. but tbh i haven't really found much in the way of contemporary fantasy that has such inspirations, so i've mostly drawn from what i know of ancient Greek history itself and Plato's works. She's not fantasy per se, but have you read any of Mary Renault's works? If not, The Mask of Apollo might be of particular interest here --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |

| InYourWalls1 02/02/21 1:43:38 PM #9 | ApherosyLove posted... Yeah I totally should not have started a fantasy novel without reading more than like...three fantasy novels in my lifetime. Aw I don't know. I feel like if you have an idea you feel good about and/or inspired by that's all you need really; something like a hero's journey has been told and retold countless times, but can still be really enjoyable even when it adheres closely to that structure Not to say that reading a lot isn't valuable for other reasons, like inspiring new and novel ideas/pushing conventions, or understanding the market etc. --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |
| Topic | Fuck it, I'm dropping all of my classes this quarter |
| InYourWalls1 02/02/21 1:23:21 PM #56 | Harpie posted... oh god I have my meeting with the financial advisor today and Im really nervous to tell her Im dropping my classes Don't overthink it too much; look at what the experience has been like so far and think about whether or not that was sustainable Taking some time to discover yourself and building a solid foundation is never something you'll regret Also don't be so quick to label yourself; it's tempting to think that way when you can't see any other reasons and in many ways it's further reinforced in our culture but there are many things that can be going on unaddressed and affecting you in ways you might not be aware of at all. I used to think the same way before I actually started looking deeper into what ADHD and depression were and realized there were just different things that made me tick And good on ya for making your well-being a priority --- The fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant |
