I have a weird nostalgia for the whole process of losing a tooth. The relief when you finally get it out and then the awesome feeling of running your tongue over the hole. Lol
What you really want is for us to figure out how to stop cavities forming in the first place. Also, annually sounds incredibly unpleasant! Maybe once every decade?
I tend to agree with the author. He’s not saying we can’t make choices. We do have the ability to make choices. It’s just that our choices are driven by so much history and memories and brain capability/functioning. Outside stimuli is so important. The sage advice from a relative is important. That’s why if you want to fly like an eagle don’t hang out with the turkeys.
Honestly I’m just pissed that they are paying far below fair market rate for the land. 15k per acre is nothing for development in the state. Taxpayers getting ripped off.
My city is surrounded by Bible belt rural “cities are literally Satan” counties
In like 3 directions now about 20-30 minutes out are these “fine I’ll build my own city with blackjack and bookers” “town centers” with residential and first floor commercial and a event area for concerts and stuff where you’ll NEVER have to drive
Until you need to do literally anything other than grab a cup of coffee. 🙄
while this is recognizing that things are getting worse for the newer generations, it still comes across as “i’ve lived with a silver spoon in my mouth and can’t understand why everyone hasn’t lifted themselves off the ground by their bootstraps! why are all the kids just deciding to not be able to afford more than basic survival? it’s probably the same reason they are all gay bimbos now! they are all just awful, that’s the main reason!”
they aren’t refusing to live their life because they just don’t want to. they are unable to because every damn opportunity has been robbed from them. maybe because there isn’t much appealing of a life purely for pushing yourself to the point of pain, exhaustion, and probably never having a free or happy moment until you’re on death’s door, purely for the hope of… owning a home? oh yeah, and making sure to keep the profit increase for the ultrarich going. remember that the working class hasn’t seen any of that trickle down in the past 50 years.
so they are old and have a home now. they still have to keep working and everything else will still be worse though.
maybe they should distract themselves by having a child they can’t afford, so that they have a mental breakdown from the stress. it should comfort them knowing they’ve allowed the cycle of miserable poverty to continue.
