Did you read the article before posting?

There are descriptions of embittered and/or depressed youth. They are not describing young people so well cared for (by the state) that they are opting out.

And older family will eventually perish or cease to have the means. Something must take the place to ensure production at certain levels.

Also: fewer hours per job, with an unchanging workload would lead to more jobs. Not fewer. Unless automation, computing or improved engineering lower the overall effort.

Edit to add one more point: China is Capitalist. The land use thing is communist, but fundamentally they went capitalist decades ago. The notion that they're doling out buckets of money to people mystifies me (building unnecessary infrastructure is a job).

If someone has a source or refutation, I'll click and read, but until then I'll run with what I find.

No. It was alpha. If Google approves, look for excitement tomorrow.

I can accept a day or two of delay if I get a functional app for lemmy. I miss Sync so much...

With the country built into the community name. Less confusion and wasted energy that way.

The guy who won "over a billion" (that's not what he got to keep) has headlines with his full name, what real estate he's bought, lawsuits brought against him and he's had to get body guards.

Because california forces a person to claim it and anonymity isn't allowed.

I don't see them being glib on every 10th thread I click through.

That distinction is entirely yours.

Grieve. Be kind to yourself, be kind to them. Allow yourself to feel without resisting the feelings. But don't chase them either.

There isn't a right way to feel for most of this.

Part of grieving is reflection (usually). Remembering good times, bad times and wish-they-were-different times. Find a way to be with those moments and accept them as they are: moments. They aren't lost, just future ones will be different.

And that's okay. Or it will be. And you'll be okay, too.

I ruminate too. I tell myself it helps me learn, helps me grow, helps me remember not to "x". It rarely helps. It's just a conditioned response that makes me feel more control while i actually lose some.

What truly helps is healing. Learning that sometimes compatability isn't a you tho Ing or a them thing. But it's still a thing and somebody called the spade a spade.

If you weren't up to your standards, then rise. Otherwise, coat yourself in patience. Listen to YouTube videos like Tara Brach. Be honest with yourself as you heal. We all have barbs, we all have scars.

When I read the posy what I heard was: how do we ensure high quality content? If we have that, SE won't need the O.

And I'm down for high quality.

I don't look for you, but you're never far away.

This is another example of you being glib and acting like you know a person and their failings with profoundly little evidence.

If you want to be taken seriously at all, work on being able to draw clear conclusions from a body of evidence and then be able to use rhetoric well.

If you're watching your country lose ground in a war, have difficulties taking it back, and all the help is just enough to prolong the pain - and you're told to celebrate and be grateful while calling a non-collapse a win...

You get to have a bad day, in my book. God help him, I don't want his job for a God damn day.

And, I agree, he's been so consistently on point. Maybe that's part of what makes this a story.

That and people who just want the Ujraine to stop resisting and allow the ethnic cleanse. It happened, it would resume (if it stopped).

Good. And finish making the IRS site and let's end their little charade.

By around 2030. It was a puff piece that went viral because the headline and manufacturer.

Completely agree.

I have so much less control and navigating is not easier. I exclusively use it for work and as infrequently as possible.

I'm consistently impressed with Samsung flagship and plan to remain there for the years to come.

Different strokes for different folks, but this is where I land.
