The part that I hate about it is obliging future homeowners to participate.
I get that the obligation was the main reason why HOA types wanted to build HOAs, but I'll never live under an HOA. As soon as I'm aware there's an HOA involved, I'm out. Burn the paperwork. I'm not buying it.
.... Not that I plan on moving ever again.
My city has bylaws for that sort of thing. I can't let my grass turn into a jungle either. That's also a bylaw. Shoveling snow into the street? Guess what, bylaw.
Don't need an HOA full of overbearing Karen's to Lord over me about what color I painted my garage on top of the fairly loose bylaws that I also need to abide by.
At least with bylaws they're enforced by public workers, not Karen from next door.
HOAs are full of crazies.
Cities are usually fine..... Not all cities though.
I don't know that I want the current elderly generation to live longer. Can we hold off on this for.... Idk, say, 15 years until they all die off naturally?
I did an online one in the early days of the Internet, and scored a 137. I have zero faith it has any accuracy. My buddy also did it and got a 145, I believe his is above mine but still, no faith that the numbers are correct.
IQ tests are deeply and inherently flawed, usually based on the fact that you can both quickly read, understand the intent of the question, and respond with whatever the writer of the test feels is correct in a timely fashion.
And if you don't realize how much of what I just wrote is subjective based on lived experience, and specific parameters about you that have nothing to do with how intelligent you are, then congratulations, you're probably above average.
ADHD life in a nutshell (because bonus thoughts are always worth it).
As the fifth of five people.... How did you know?
I hope the little guy got all fixed up.
Thanks, I hate it.
AI is the embodiment of "oh no, anyways"
Seems pessimistic.
What about the people who can't afford to live and need to steal to eat? Those downtrodden because some rich CEO asshole decided to try to replace them with AI, and they lost everything being unemployed and having the price of everything shoot through the roof for no goddamned reason?
What about those people?
I'm not saying that there aren't people who steal to fund their addiction, but that's not the only motivator.
We're all humans.
Bad take, honestly.
It says you have the right to a job; therefore if you want one, you should be able to get one.
Americans have the right to bear arms, not everyone is walking around strapped. It's just not the case..... And yes, there's many that do carry a firearm when they're out and about doing normal daily tasks, but it most certainly isn't everyone. You have the right to do it, you are not forced to do a thing you have the right to do.
Equating the right to a job with a claim that jobs are necessary is simply false.
