For anyone requiring context, both of these men are federal parliament members in Australia.

Because he has 1980’s economic policy.

yawn let me guess you have over three hundred confirmed kills?

I don’t think portraying the execs as just dumb and the general public as mega brains is accurate…

The execs want to strip out value as profit and take actions to maximise this, they don’t care if it fundamentally tanks the business because as long as they make a profit overall they can just drop the husk that’s left at the end and move onto another business they can bleed dry.

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

The unwashed masses (like myself) will eventually change Lemmy. I don’t think it will ruin it completely because the best part about having hundreds of millions of lemmings is the niche communities.

The main instances and communities are going to get shot to hell though. I’ve accepted that.

I wonder how many lemmings understand this is a Beach Boys reference.

Do they still get a lot of radio play in the USA?

How old do you think I am?

I’m ancient by Lemmy standards.

Age has made me more aware that most adults have no idea what they are doing but think they actually do by virtue that they’ve survived to their 40’s and beyond. This makes them incredibly dangerous.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

It’s trite but it does help.

If you consistently exercise hard I.e. go for a 5 mile run it will help release endorphins

Tax should pay for healthcare of all citizens.

Why am I paying tax if I still have to pay to see a doctor?

What a relief!

Ikr. Really should have made this Jan 1st.

Very interesting perspective that you wouldn’t encourage your kids to do the same as you, why’s that?

To be honest if my kids married at 20 it’s not like I’d try to stop it, despite my reservations about it. I’d think it was a potential mistake but that’s coming from me as concern rather than disapproval.

Here you go.

Oh I have issues with commitment and a constant feeling of ‘Is this the best I can expect?’ but I don’t regret my younger life.

My ‘weird’ sentiment stems more from me looking in from the outside at relationships where 20 year olds decide they want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. I can’t imagine missing out on potentially meeting someone more compatible. Can you really meet the most compatible person for you when you’re 20?

When I was 20 I was a very different person, I’m assuming that’s similar for others.

Other commenters have talked about how they grow with partners but I wonder if it’s truly possible to do that while being so ‘together’ with another person. Some things you have to learn on your own.

Hahahahahaha

Cries in paralysing anxiety

Luck is something I didn’t consider.

Apparently not that much of an unpopular opinion though reading through the comments.

I swear when Wikipedia was a Wild West and weird edits stayed up for a long time there was an entry on the Conway Twitty article that described a story about a man who was divorcing a woman who was just a terrible person. He ended up walking out of their house with nothing but came back only for his Conway Twitty records.

That story always stuck with me and made me appreciate the impact Conway had.
