Its called milking a generations nostalgia. Remakes of child and youth memories for a generation that is now financially viable.

Working in cooperations is the definition of insanity. Been there, it’s crazy. And yes, there the lying and cheating part is most likely to get you ahead.
- Comment on Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving a higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success? 2 weeks ago:
Usually veiled in religion. Also the American dream, work your way up instead of investing into education.

Business owner here, even if not a very good one. These kinds of CEOs exist, but there are far from the norm. And they usually act that way because the owners of the company expect them to lead that way. There is a crowd mechanic of many people owning some of the stock of a company. It leads to some psychopathy as nobody feels responsible and everybody wants to earn some extra Money. Look into a documentary called “cooperation”.
Most business people, especially the more successful ones are the classic boys club people. They get good deals by being friends and knowing people that give them access. It leads to a culture where what you earn has more or less nothing to so with what or how good you work. If you know the show billions, watch it and look for the making of episodes. There is a lot of real world experience in the writing.

- Comment on You got it, buddy 2 weeks ago:
Can confirm, people generally prefer their version of reality over truth and knowledge. Spend a life aquiring knowledge and love teaching people just to learn they don’t really love learning how things actually are. Who knew people love to be told they are right, even if that’s not the case. X(
Funnily enough, when you are in a situation with someone who you have discussed for example immigration with and someone else more stupid than them starts going off about immigrants and you just start ranting the same shit as them, this seems to get number one suddenly thinking a lot more about how ridiculous you look when you so it.
Know more tricks like this, let me know. ;)

We keep living together and keep it civil so we can both live with the kids. Its not without it’s problems but there is no fighting which is generally a good thing. We keep honest when the kids ask questions and try to answer them as well and honest as possible according to their age obviously.

I think most people tend to overlook the most obvious advantages and are overly focused on what is supposed to be and marketed as.
No need to think how to feed a thing into google to get a decent starting point for reading. No finding the correct terminology before finding the thing you are looking for. Just ask like you would ask a knowledgeable individual and you get an overview of what you wanted to ask in the first place.
Discuss a little to get the options and then start reading and researching the everliving shit out of them to confirm all the details.

Size doesn’t matter. I’m close friends with a dude dating in his 50s and his dick just doesn’t work like it used to after he had a heart attack. The women are usually very understanding and often like the challenge. Someone loving you for who you are wouldn’t even be bothered by something like that as long as it’s about love. And if she physically needs more sometimes, just buy a dildo to help her out. Nothing more or less as if she needs dirty talk. Just oblige and make her happy as she makes you happy.

Nobody considers the risk of them going up in flames at night. They have a temp trip safety, but there is still some risk left. Especially for cheap Chinese power blocks.

Gosh. Normal people get an education and learn how these things work. And now you don’t have to trust the government or anybody for that matter because it makes sense and it works.
You don’t have to be a car specialist to know that is you put gasoline in it, it goes if you need it.

- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 2 months ago:
An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.
They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.
So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.
My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.
Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.
Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)
So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.
Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.
The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.
I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.
I was planning to package that and release it as open source.
Still might do that.
