I have the feeling the same will happen with jobs and AI. "Nothing is really changing" right now, but people are always so short sighted. 15-20 years is about the time it takes for knowledge to become normalized and accepted.

For example, some scientists suggested dinosaurs had feathers and they had to argue the evidence for over a decade to get the theory outside of crazy territory; then, another decade for the public at large to accept and adopt the info.

Similar timelines for people ringing bells about plastic contamination, pollution, climate change, pretty much anything. We as a species are really good at embracing short term gains and really bad at considering long term consequences.

I've had a classmate who was bipolar. Super lovely girl, she would sometimes feel more sensible if the medication changed but I've never thought of her as needing to be treated with any special considerations when interacting socially. She got married and had kids and is still going well.

A close friend of my mother was married to a bipolar woman. She tried to kill him with a kitchen knife on one occasion, and in another, she effectively set the house on fire- they lost everything.

So, I don't really know what to say to you. My understanding is that your mileage may vary and by a lot. Personally I believe it's manageable in most cases with proper healthcare, and you probably already deal with several bipolar people day to day - you just don't notice it. But, I'm not an expert so take this with a pinch of salt.

I don't, I've never seen the ad, i don't know what is it about which is why I don't get the joke. All I see is some sort of dumb kid with a lollipop ruining their own photo of an owl. Something tells there is a reason and that this is probably not as dumb as it looks but I lack the context.

I don't understand why you got so much hate either.

I find the idea somewhat silly and a bit self contradicting, I'll explain why but first, to answer your question, no, I don't know of any romance movies where the MC is a tatebro asshole.

Why it's a silly idea: if the MC is such an asshole then it's probably not going to be romance but you would instead have a solid drama/thriller plot device there. She thinks he loves her but instead she gets abused and that's the point of the story.

You could say though, that it's a romance story in which the male love interest is an incel tatebro asshole and somehow we get a character arc in which he sees the errors of his ways and actually changes, but I'm not sure this would make for a good movie. Perhaps a romantic comedy with some fantasy/magic elements which would explain why he can change so drastically. Something like 'Shallow Hal' would be an example for this category (and not a good movie btw) and the best runner up for your original question. But I still think as a plot idea it would be tacky at best. You'd need some solid writing to pull that off.

I thought I replied to this already, so, apologies if you get two replies - basically, I already have too many rags and I feel skeptical of the donation bins. The ones I've seen are always overflowing with stuff and if they're outdoors the clothes that overflow are at the mercy of the elements. And I'm not talking about a couple clothes, but enough bags of donations to fill the bin again.

Ohh I see, I heard of these before. I didn't know they were called universe 25

I used to live to work, then I just somehow lived but hardly enjoyed it, then I worked to live and I enjoyed it less. Now I live to find work and I also work and it's somewhat manageable, but I'm not happy.

I want to live to work again. I just need the right job.

Universe 25?

Wait, there are default avatars? Who has a default avatar? How do I tell them apart?

Anyway, in my case, I'm this random you know, and since my account is Mothra I figured the avatar should reflect that
