    Communists maybe in the sense that government control over how advertising happens is the only way to achieve this?

    End of an era for sure. Advertising companies must really be a pain to work with for them to just cut it.

    I'm still shedding the parts of me that I accumulated in order to impress other people, it's crazy how many things I've been just carrying around entirely for other people.

    It's weird really asking myself if I even like a certain band that I listen to all the time, or if I just listened to them a lot so that I could related to other people who liked them.

    I had such a hard time relating to people when I was young, I gave myself away without a second thought. Finding myself again as definitely been worth it.

    Same for me, I was going through it with teak and I didn't even think about it but I upgraded to camphor and immediately got shark on the first try. With teak I was consistently like 10 seconds short.

    Ive lived two completely different lives. My second life started when I was around 25.

    Its not a switch that flipped but gradual growth as a person. It wasn’t really noticeable at first, the first changes I made were deciding to invest in my own future, I decided to go finish a degree, start a career, buy a house, and the other changes happened even more slowly as I find myself more and more aware, forgiving and patient to everyone around me. I know this happens to everyone as they get older but its really night and day from who I used to be.

    I think the biggest difference is I don’t think I really used to see or understand other people, I always tried but my brain just didn’t have the capacity. I literally couldn’t even see outside of my own self when I was younger and so things other people did often confused me. So many things I used to be confused over are so clear to me now.

    I’m in my mid 30s now and I’m still a bit behind on the social skills but I really feel like that gap is closing. I just kinda wish I didn’t waste my 20s, I could have had so many friends and relationships if I wasn’t so stuck inside my own head. I like my life now though, so no real regrets.

    And yea I JUST beat shark jubbly last night, I was stoked. I’ll prob attempt marlin but I didnt do tempor marlin either so idk. Tile markers totally change the game, I didnt have tile markers on tempor, I may go back and finish that with them.

    Theres a lot of ways to lose your boat… i just pay the recover fee lol its not too bad.

    Ive been playing nonstop for the past two weeks basically, took last week off work so I could play. Lvl 67 as of this morning and I’m a little behind my clan mates who are 80s pushing 90s

    Thoughts in general? Thoughts on salvaging nerf this am?

    Haven’t played in years and think it sounds neat? It is. Bond up and play, sailing is a meta skill so you can lvl up while you level up but watch out for random crates of alcohol in the sea cause while you get xp from sampling…. Sometimes they tele you to the abyss cause Jagex is pro troll

    Those states are fine if you only look at the cities, but the small towns are falling farther and farther behind.

    Most everyone is faced with the decision of move to the city and be surrounded by liberals or stay put and hope voting for Trump will help (spoilers, it wont, because he’s a grifter)

    Basically every single town outside the major cities is subsidized by federal welfare. Theres no attempt from anyone to spur any economic development, and at this point even if you wanted to move closer to the city to find a better job you could never afford it cause the house + land you own is only worth like 40k and thats not even enough for a downpayment on a house in the city for a mortgage which you wouldn’t qualify for without a job anyway. Not that you’d ever consider moving, you’ve lived here your whole life, you’re like 50-70 years old and you hate the city.

    Whats especially interesting is that these people make up a massive voting block, enough to swing elections apparently, and all they keep doing is voting against themselves because they think all the rotten politics Trump wants to pass will only affect immigrants.

    I have a side bet in my head that Trump will cut the programs these people depend on and they’ll be forced to cut their losses and move to the city anyway.

    Yeah thats how I heard about it. Dunno why that message hasn’t reached conservative groups, Monsanto is a monster and by the end we’ll all starve when their monoculture isn’t drought resistant enough.

    Alright, I'm gonna swing this one out cause you kinda seem like you know what I'm talking about.

    There are long term consequences for losing a civil war, and no one wants to talk about this shit. The entire previously confederate states lived in actual freaking squalor and are dead last in just about every single measurable category (except for Mississippi education as of like this past year hell yea good for them)

    And like, instead of the federal government being like 'oh, this whole entire region needs extra help because we literally demolished them, took away most people's wealth, etc etc etc' they seem to just keep punishing the south because the south's way of "fixing" the issue was continuing to put down the Black population because they thought somehow if Black people were just, the way they used to be, it'd somehow magically be fixed.

    We need help, federal help, and instead Trump just seems to be putting salt in the wound whenever we get wrecked by a hurricane, and they somehow STILL don't see it because the democrats want to help the black people too and that's just like, unacceptable for some reason, so they keep voting for the people that'll make it worse.

    Anyway, my point is like, I kinda wish someone up there would run on the platform of helping the south. Cause the fed programs that exist suck, the states keep voting against anything that'd help, and its because the people who need the help think it'll go to black people so they vote against it and I have no idea how to fix that.

    There's anti-vaxx, and then there's 'I had kids when I was like 19 and didn't get them vaccinated cause all my Trump supporting family told me they're poison' and like, that second one didn't start happening until super recently. The default for a very long time down here was just get them vaccinated cause the hospital did it for you, as part of the process, and hell yea I want my kid to get the best of the best.

    This whole like, jo shmo knowing better than the doctors thing, that's pretty recent. It always happened, yeah, but not on the scale that it's happening right now. Either it's the internet spreading disinformation way faster than we ever could before, or somehow everyone caught the same looney bug that old man George who lived in a cabin up the mountain had in the 80s.

    Even if they did know how to actually apply for it, they'd never do it out of pride.
