Its amazing the things that came out of the tribune that then fall apart once they go off on their own. Haven't seen an apartments.com commercial in awhile. Wonder how they are doing?

I mean im a city boy so my ideal is living in a high rise downtown. My wifes is way out in the country. So we live like you in the beginings of suburbia. Now given our financials we likely will have to move to cheapest possible in the hopes of solvency if I ever retire but yeah. Hospitals are the big worry.

Oh man. If you were 25 and he was 30 this would not be as much of a deal but I can see why he feels wierd about it. This is just an aspect of life. When your younger small age differences are more significant and more so if your living independently. Honestly even when your older its wierd with the parent child thing. It goes in reverse to. You have a single parent dating and the date spends the night and it can be wierd for the person not part of the household. I personally think you need to accept it and just see if he eventually gets to where he can manage doing it. I mean he is a guy so if the offer is on the table he will get around to mentioning it if he thinks he can handle it.

this is about utilization so its basically about how much folks are accepting it in usage rather than just words.
- Comment on Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE - The motivating force behind American career fascism would appear to be wanderlust 1 week ago:
I would take an ice job in a second and likely loose it pretty soon after but I don't think anyone should avoid it. I just can't believe people who take the jobs and then do what they do.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 1 week ago:
This is interesting to me as I like to say the llms are basically another abstraction of search. Initially it was links with no real weight that had to be gone through and then various algorithms weighted the return, then the results started giving a small blurb so one did not have to follow every link, and now your basically getting a report which should have references to the sources. I would like to see this looking at how folks engage with an llm. Basically my guess is if one treats the llm as a helper and collaborates to create the product that they will remember more than if they treat it as a servant and just instructs them to do it and takes the output as is.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
pure distilled water does not. if water with taste is water then great. I personally have a bad habit of drinking a particular flavor of water called soda.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
If i moved there I would get it tested to find out why it had that flavor. Pure distilled water that is only h2o definitely does not.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 weeks ago:
I don't think the cold water on a hot day is about flavor. Its just as flavorless as its ever been. Its neutral and you can't get away from that without flavoring it. Bad water can taste aweful but the best is just going to be neutral. We like the taste of acidic things for some reason. Not sure why. The cold water when hot is more a craving and if for some reason you can't get ice cold water but you can soda. Even if your not a soda drinker you may guzzle the icey drink.

- Comment on Deficit Between Minimum Wage and Annual Cost of Living of US States (OC) 2 weeks ago:
Thats what I mean. Its like a lot of these things that are bad that are brought up are also bad in a best case type scenario and when you take into account real life its actually even worse. Its like yeah, if you can keep 40 hours a week and never marry or have kids and never fall ill or you mistakenly had a spouse or kids that did and you to could have half of what you need to have food and shelter.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 2 weeks ago:
cyberpunk was nice. It had both an optional that really specifically laid things out and then in addition the first gig more casually does it. I seem to recall harry potter being so integrated that I can't remember it. I find a lot of games just sorta give popups that you can say stop to and then it basically just starts simple so you can learn the stuff without it seeming much like a tutorial. skyrim is sorta annoying in that its unskippable and you can't do a save before locking in a race that is after it like you could with oblivioun. So they went a bit backwards. Elden rings was completely skippable but it was also just pants. The tutorial is crazy easy compared to most games and does not prepare you at all for the brutal real game. Baldurs gate was unskippable but its pretty fast and did not really feel aweful to redo as its much like any quest in the game.
- Comment on Deficit Between Minimum Wage and Annual Cost of Living of US States (OC) 2 weeks ago:
And this is an assumption of individuals in good health working. I have made a good wage in the past but I have a sick wife so my wage is basically cut in half and then add on that medical is one third of family expenses. There are a lot of families out their that don't have an ideal setup.
- Comment on Deficit Between Minimum Wage and Annual Cost of Living of US States (OC) 2 weeks ago:
That whole area around DC is wierd to. It like you can live somewhere run down and shaddy or a super nice complex with a concierge and pool. I could not find anything moderate when I was looking at a position out there.
- Comment on YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it. 2 weeks ago:
I mean this is seen all over. Spoiler crap is a big reason we are where we are. You pretty much have to assume this type of crap with all discourse now and realize that the big problems are wealth disparity and corps being given to much power along with that most people ultimately want a society were people have food and shelter and education and healthcare but they can be manipulated against their own values really. Its a crazy time.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yes in a stressfull enough setting in a person suffering from mental health challenges themselves. Which is almost everyone at some point in their lives. It is its own call for help. Adults can be depressed and find life devoid of meaning or the meaning they cling to is failing them.
