No, it's the other way around. You want them to come over, spend their money in your country, see the good in other places, take some hope with them.

You should boycott going there for visits. Because that hurts their economy and that's apparently more important than human lives.

Yeah I'm still sometimes discovering wrong titles, too.

I finally made the jump to tidal this month, my subscription to Spotify is running out. I hate giving my money to Spotify. Yeah, tidal ain't perfect, yet. But I hope with more people joining, it's going to be better soon

I invested a lot less. Go ahead. Long-term investment usually pay off if you don't need the money

So much. I mean that's what the book burning was all about. There's blacklisted authors. There's state secrets. It might be information that's legal only for certain people. I mean, if we're being pedantic, it's illegal for you to have information about me if I'm not giving it to you.

Hm I'd say not necessarily. That depends on your situation I guess. The question comes down to "would you give up your property for other people to live in?" If you own 1-2 small properties, that's not being a greedy landlord. And it would make it possible for you to give people housing they could afford (while still profitable for you, if you needed it to be).

If you charge insane rents, then you're not only a hypocrite but maybe also schizophrenic. That just sounds like a disconnect.

But it's very possible to "change the system from within", even if that's not my political opinion. If you can buy property, maybe you should. And then rent it to people for an affordable price.

I'm sometimes thinking people should get together and buy mansions to convert into shelters

Are you taking anything for your ADHD? Because you are describing very clear addiction patterns for dopamine.

Yeah, you've trained yourself. I noticed after a while when I was binging stuff, that I hadn't even gotten what it was about. I had listened to hours of podcasts without retaining anything that was in them. You can un-learn those habits. Your brain works like that because you (and the world around you) have trained it that way.

When's the last time you spent a day without a screen? Two days? A week? This is non-judgemental. I also have addiction patterns.

What you're looking for is probably a RSS feed reader.

But seriously. Don't do that to your brain. It isn't heaven, also not for ADHD brains. Screens are very dangerous for us ADHD folks. The neverending circle of information will not satisfy your brain. I highly recommend you try to drastically reduce your screen time. You'll find that after even a short time away, the speed of the normal news cycle will be too much for you.

Get an accent coach. I guess you're talking about mid-atlantic.

Yeah...we are so well connected and socialised. The old ways have really proved themselves...

It's also an issue to have this form of generation fight. We as older men, also have an obligation to question the old ways and listen to the young people. Because yes, a lot of it is a problem. And refusing to see the problem doesn't make it not a problem. It just makes you part of it. Doesn't make you evil to consume certain things. But it doesn't help if you're not compassionate with the current views and the emotions of the younger people around you. Most people don't even want to make anyone stop doing something, but they'd be happy to know that you're questioning it.
