Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.
Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.
I used to not get why someone would buy a physical DVD/Bluray/CD/whatever. Well, now I get it. I’d much rather own it than “own” it.
No buffering, can rip the disc to have a digital copy, offline viewing .etc
I thought the worst part of dating was getting my heart broken, but what I remember best are the girls I let down.
People always talk about how much wiser you get with age. I didn’t really understand this until I hit my 30s. I can’t quite explain it, but it’s definitely true. I don’t feel smarter, I just have all this life experience that has taught me all sorts of things and made me loads more confident. I feel this will continue to get stronger the older I get with the unfortunate side effect of slowing down a bit mentally.
Sadly, a side effect of this is that almost nothing is surprising anymore. The world ceases to be full of intrigue and mystery. The banality of existence becomes a daily demotivator.
I’m going to step in and kindly disagree. You’re living one life, your own. When you’ve experienced what you feel that there is to experience and all that, then things stop being personally exciting for you. Everyone’s lives is different from one another with shared generalities.

It does, but the other issue is you see the young making the mistakes and you try to warn them using your wisdom, and they either don’t understand or don’t attempt to and go on with their mistake. With further time, you just let it go and don’t mention it at all.
I didn’t understand the importance of quality and the true premium you pay for certain things. I often would buy the cheapest thing I could find to serve a certain function. After awhile, you find yourself replacing cheap things because they wear out quickly. Buying quality can means paying a lot more, but it also usually means you don’t have to replace it much, if at all.
I’m a little on the flipside with this one. I’m figuring it out that some of the best things out there, aren’t usually the ones that cost a premium. It just boils down to what that something is and whether you want it’s best version. Like, some of the brand-names in stores aren’t usually some of the best that’s out there compared to generic brands. I know this from some of the review videos I’ve watched like Project Farm on YouTube.
Project Farm absolutely rips
I’m finding this on a lot of the “deals” my wife has been finding on the TikTok shop. Piece of junk falls apart, so it inevitably gets replaced with a more expensive one I didn’t really need in the first place.
Oh shit. She might be playing me.
The code stack at my company. At one time, I was confident that I could affect change, add modern features, and make the process form streamlined and user friendly. Now I get to explain our tech debt to our new not yet soulless new hires.
Now I get to explain our tech debt to our new not yet soulless new hires.
To explain the tech debt in the code stack you must first explain what the Perl language its written is to the young new hires.
(This is totally being said in the Emperor Palpatine’s voice)
Perl? Shit man I learned Fortran in college. There’s still COBOL systems in active use. At least Perl was invented after keypunchers were deprecated.
We actually still ship Fortran code where I’m at.
When I was a kid, my mom would tell me stories about some rich/famous people who ended their own lives, and she asked me what I thought about it, I said it was stupid since they’re rich and could just enjoy life
Now I have depression. I totally get it. (I mean I’m not rich, but still, I get it.)
🥲
Have you tried being rich
xD
Sure, brb lemme go rob a bank.
Being rich doesn’t change having assholes in your family that make you feel like you don’t belong.
I mean, you can buy a house and move out.
You don’t have that option if you’re poor.
I think you misunderstood.
I’m just talking relationships in general. I was just giving an example where if you value you relationship with your family and someone screws you over and you lose that relationship, it can lead to depression and there’s no amount of money that can fix that.
Get meds. They’re how I’ve made it this far in life.
I didn’t understand economy before, but now I realize it’s because it’s basically the world’s biggest Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, for a lack of a better way to say it.
I still don’t understand economy.
Its just numbers numbers GDP buzzword buzzword blah blah, I have no idea how it works.
The economy is just people spending money. Is there enough money distributed to enough people who spend enough for enough businesses to employ enough people for enough of them to have enough money to spend? And the money has to trickle up.
At this point, it can be boiled down to [insert idea here] with an accessorized relation to money.
