Someone can appreciate what they have and still struggle to support a family, repair and maintaine a house, pay deductibles and co-pays for medical treatments, support an unemployed or ailing family member, pay student loans, pay car loans, send remittances to family in a home country, etc. They could simply live in a HCOL area. There are many not unusual scenarios that could have a household making $150k/year struggle.
In this case, the magazine created fake journalists with fake bios and used them.in the bylines. I would think that's a kind of fraud and definitely hurts the magazine's trustworthiness. The article goes into other publications that have also used fake journalists with their bylines in AI produced articles. I think if they were more transparent- say, labeling an article "AI created content" - it wouldn't be as much of an issue.
This also doesn't address errors in the AI produced articles (which could be solved by having a real life fair checker or editor).
They also included a long passage from a retired, widowed naval officer that had very little to do with the article. I read what she wrote and can't figure out what she wanted the Federal government to do. She felt that the country owes her and her family for their service, but what? And why would they be more deserving than other citizens who serve in other ways? It felt like they needed to reach a certain word.count so they threw it in there.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
It's not the fault of the writer. It's the fault of the (non existent?) copy editor. When I see a blatant typo in the very first paragraph it makes me doubt the fact checking of the entire article - what else wasn't looked over?

Hmm. Is this supposed to be affecting everyone using Firefox with adblockers? I just played a video on FF with uBO. Worked fine for me with no delays. Maybe because I searched for the video using DDG and watched it via DDG (meaning I did not click through and watch it on YT)?
Not the person you responded to, but I'm someone who thinks a therapist would be helpful or life enhancing for many people. Pretty much half the people I know are or have been in therapy (and I say half because that's about the number who have mentioned it to me).
Re the person in the OP, I would imagine that there's something psychological causing (ETA: or exacerbating) his issues. He's 30 and has never been kissed, cried uncontrollably at the platonic touch of a friend's wife, and seems to be in crisis over the incident and the fact that his 22 year old friend has a happy marriage. If it's not something that could be worked in in therapy, what do you think would help him otherwise?
What’s the point in complaining about something when you’re stuck in the situation and nobody is going to do anything to help anyways?
Yep, this is likely what you're working on in therapy - the sadness and disappointment and maybe even depression that come after complaining and people do not support you or meet your needs. You were placed in a really unfair (ETA: and probably overwhelming and stressful) situation- raising yourself and your brother without people helping you. I'm sending you an electronic hug, Internet stranger.
That gave me pause, too. But I have a family member who bought a house at around 19 - a fixer upper in a semi rural area in Georgia (the US state) with a down-payment from his family. His dad helped him repair it and make it liveable. So that's lending some verisimilitude to the story.
