I disagree that the culture currents have changed that fast.
If the economy recovered and gave much better prospects for young people and housing was cheaper, they’d still be expected to move out on their own.
I think people understand the realities of our current situation, but usually multigenerational housing is still not considered an ideal situation.
- Comment on Chronology 2 months ago:
Tetrapod animals (those with four limbs) are all thought to be related.
This group includes two main divisions amniotes and non-amniotes. Amniotes produce young in eggs with four distinct layers (one of which is the Amnion) which makes them well-adapted for surviving on land. Frogs and Salamanders are examples of non-amniote tetrapods.
Amniotes are a large group which are divided into groups based on the number of openings in their skulls near the temples. The two surviving groups in today’s animals are synapsid (one pair of openings) which includes all mammals. And diapsids (two openings) which includes all modern reptiles and birds.
The Mesazoic Era (the age of the Dinosaurs) was 250 million years ago (Ma) to 65 Ma.
Dimetrodon was a synapsid that lived about 295 Ma. So it’s not really in the right evolutionary family to be a dinosaur, and it lived long before dinosaurs.
It superficially resembles a large lizard (but in reality it’s a closer relative to mammals than any true dinosaur).

I assume you are American, and probably not Hispanic?
Because these assumptions are extremely cultural.
Anyways, for white Americans “Self-sufficiency” (or Self-reliance as Henry David Thoreau called an extreme version of it) is an old Puritan value, like hardwork and monogamy.

this is the reverse of “if you can’t afford a job that pays you find another job”.
Not even close.

If you live in a tipping culture and can’t afford to tip, then you can’t afford a waitress.
- Comment on Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job 2 months ago:
Every conspiracy theory comes back to covering for oil money and the political party they run (Republicans).
Watergate happened? “Yeah, but aliens…” worked so well Reagan was elected in another landslide six years later.

Honestly, anything is better than Windows. But don’t switch to Linux unless you are actually interested in Linux.

Something in the universe can be wrong, and you can also hold an opinion about it that is also nowhere near the truth. There are lots of ways to be wrong.
Just because you are against something wrong, doesn’t make you right.
