- Comment on how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy? 8 hours ago:
Why are you looking for fulfillment in a job?
As the other commenters stated, if you’re spending a significant portion of your life doing something, it makes sense to try to make it something you at least enjoy doing.
Wouldn’t it be better to find meaning in a hobby or family? Maybe writing a book? Painting?
Yes that’s well and good but the options are not mutually exclusive. You can have a rewarding hobby life AND a job that offers some measure of satisfaction and enjoyment.

First, stop referring to him as a ‘character’. Doing that makes you look insecure with your own situation. Next, understand his real question behind his words which is something more along the lines of “shouldn’t a career be more rewarding than just showing up?” Expecting that to be achievable for everyone in this day and age may be naive, but his idealism and wish for happiness is not a bad thing. He’s likely coming from a place of care rather than purposefully trying to antagonise you. I suspect you are mostly angry at his testing of your carefully built mental fortress, the one that insulates you from dwelling on the tedium and uninspired drudgery your future in that position offers.

Hitler wasn’t an elderly incontinent man with dementia. While both men are fucking idiots, one of them had functioning short term memory, and was able to not shit himself.
Trump isn’t the source of fascism in the us, he’s just the face of it.
Also, have you given any sort of thought to how many firearms are floating out there in civilian hands?
Who are they going to shoot? Are they going to walk around town asking strangers if they’re nazis?

They said they would be guardians of power for a thousand generations. It lasted 12 years. So given that it’s this year theyre going full nazi, you can expect them out in 2037.

- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 3 months ago:
“Impactful” is a heinous travesty of the language. I’ve actually seen “impactfulness” used too. Also bad is “impacts” … “the stock market has suffered several impacts due to low business confidence.” This cumbersome wording tries to amp up the drama. It’s much cleaner to say “The stock market has been affected by low business confidence.” Aside from the shock value of replacing “affected” with impacted, a metaphor for bodily collision, many have turned to impacted because the subtle difference between affected and effected intimidates them.
Be the better person. Avoid the hokey metaphor.
Btw, media uses “slammed” and “pounds” and other Batman words simply because they get more clicks than rebuked or chastized. Don’t be a headline writer.

Affected, not impacted. Never use the word impacted when you mean affected. Use impacted when bodies collide.

World history for millennia has shown that the conquerors write the rules. Ownership is established immediately upon victory. It matters not if you’re a yanomamo tribe living 1000 years ago or a modern military 1st world country. The victors write the rules.
