The rich kids just pay poor kids to write their research papers anyway so it's always wholly original. That's what they've been doing for decades. I had a friend who wrote research papers for wealthy kids to finance his Masters degree in the early 2000s.
It's only the average kids who can afford access to the AI and use that instead of another person.
The main takeaway for me was that it's possible but that it takes a lot more open communication and emotional availability than a monogamous relationship. It really takes very mature people to make it work.
That's how it's supposed to work but rarely actually does.
It's definitely not universally true. I don't like my space looking like a dumpster and I dated a woman for 13 years who absolutely, positively, would not clean, and didn't know how to use a garbage can. Would drop trash on the floor and leave it there until I finally got sick of it and cleaned it up. She would leave dishes unwashed and just laying around.
But outside of that experience, most women I know have kept neater spaces than me. As I said, my place doesn't look like a dumpster, it's organized and tidy, but I probably sweep less, dust less, and so on. I do dishes daily because they get gross fast if you don't.
Also it is to be noted that I lived in absolute filth in my twenties and I had to teach myself how to clean and be tidy over time, it took about ten years until I was in my thirties before I was consistent on cleaning.
Mom: We have regime change at home.
Regime change at home:
The only change here is Russia and Ukraine, and that’s been ongoing for years now.
I dunno, the Russian invasion of Georgia was in 2008 (Russia has actually been involved with warfare on Georgia going back to 1993). They haven't always aimed at the exact same areas and while they didn't invade Belarus, they seem to have a good relationship with the country in a vassal state type of way. It certainly seems that Russia has been trying to regain lost territory for most of the same time period as the wars in the middle east.
A lot of people also don't seem to remember the whole reason that the USA originally sided with and funded bin Laden and his Mujahideen was to kick Russia out of Afghanistan. It's part of what eventually bred bin Laden's distrust and hatred of the US for essentially being used as a tool and then thrown away.
I'd like to believe that, but some people I have met who are not struggling for resources and had kind and loving families are still somehow just some selfish motherfuckers. I don't know where they got that trauma from that made them want to hurt others so badly.
Some days I really deeply contemplate just getting a canister of helium and an exit bag.
