Good luck man. I had my problems in the past too, like lifted bottles from walmart because I couldn't afford them but needed them. Didn't go to rehab, but I moved away from my friends and lived with my grandparents for about a year cold sober. Spent my day working then helping them remodel their home so I was always productive and actually learned new skills and didn't wake up feeling like shit the next day.

It can be done.

Also ironically, the richer you get the more people will pay for things for you

Because they use you for advertising and/or kiss your ass expecting a kickback. So it makes sense why, but it's still pretty fucked how you get more free shit the more money you have.

Mostly agree with it. I got lucky with my current situation because I had a connect. I like it here though.

Hometown: Prairieville, LA (79)

B Amenities
C- Cost of Living
C+ Crime
A- Education
A Employment
C+ Housing
A Weather

Ok yeah they seem to be biased towards "places to raise a family" rather than "places to live". I'm done with school and don't have kids. I don't give a shit about education right now. Also they possible are bullshitting everything. Amenities is a B? There's not shit to do there. You gotta go to Baton Rouge or Gonzales to go to any mall or movie theater. They literally got the high school band to skip a day of school to go play at the opening ceremony of a Wal Mart. Lmfao. And weather an A? It gets to almost 100 degrees with unbearable humidity in the summer, with occasional rains just to get steam to rise off the pavement. In the winter it'll be in the 30s then two days later it'll be in the 80s (no lie), then that cycle repeats itself. There's no mild weather there whatsoever.

If a minority says something awful about the majority, there's not the same threat as if someone in the majority says the same thing about a minority group.

And why exactly is that?


For the same reason why the laissez-faire approach is misleading.

Some people, and for understandable reasoning, think that affirmative action in any form in discriminatory, and the removal of that would make pure merit based hiring. However, that assumes that people are objective. They aren't.

When it comes to hiring and interviewing, people are drawn to people with personalities and characteristics like themselves. This causes a dangerous cycle. People from X neighborhood hire people from that neighborhood and neighborhoods like it, getting the same kinds of people. They're not consciously hating on other people, but due to the incongruities, they don't feel the same connection and thus give preferential treatment.

The reason why minority against majority hatred isn't as impactful as vice versa is because the minority has no way of actually implementing their hatred to harm the majority. Just replace words with fists. You see 10 people wailing on one guy, and that one guy throwing punches back, whose safety are you concerned with, all other things equal?

Sure connections are a thing.

But if person isn't cut out for a job, they're not going to last long inevitably. Regardless of connections.

But if they are cut out for the job, then what's the problem? If people know each other or have prior connections or mutual friends, then sure they may be more prone to hire them. This goes for whatever the race may be. A white guy could be hired over another white guy with similar qualifications simply because the other one has an in. It's not racism or privilege then, but simply change the color of the skin then all of a sudden it's bias.

The fact of that matter is, for the purpose of what we're discussing and the ideology behind it, it's who you know. There are white people that probably don't particularly care for other white people in power but they'll still use those vague connections and kiss ass to get a job or whatever. But if black man does the same thing, he's an Uncle Tom for sucking up to the white man. But in reality, lower white men do the same thing to higher white men. So is it the white man's fault for the kind of perception? Really?

So that's not really a white privilege thing, it's more of a class privilege thing. Just so happens that white people make more of the upper class, and I mean what are you gonna do? White people make up most of the population. It doesn't mean that just because you're white that it means you're privileged.

You can get cancer from the sun but you get vitamin D from it. We're busy running around looking for what can kill us and what poses the biggest risks, and any article you find gets shipped around like "make sure you and your family don't do this or you'll get this!"

Teach her how to do better and what feels good. Women don't have penises just like we don't have vaginas or clits. We don't actively know how the other is feeling so if there's a way they can do it better, the only way they can know is if you tell them.

Because smartphones do things we used to do manually. Gotta deposit a check? Just take a pic of it, no need to go down to the bank and into society. Got a question? Just Google it, no need for the library or to converse with people.

Sure it's much more convenient and efficient. I'd argue the trade off is our needs to be outwardly social have decreased.

Jay was a CEman in that day and age. Lied and pretended to be someone he wasn't to get a girl he pretty much stalked that was already married. The source of his wealth was implied to be illegitimate, and he through parties just to show off to her, specifically encouraged someone she knew to introduce them, then swooped in when she was having a fight with her man.

You're not paying for sex. You're paying for companionship. If sex arises as a result of that companionship, it's simply a decision between two consenting adults.

Don't understand why we need to jump through all these hoops when everyone knows the real reason behind the payment, but hey marijuana started the same way with going get a card from a doctor because you "had trouble eating"

Reminder that a country is going to be legalizing heroin soon,too and that causes just as much damaging psychological effects as Meth.

Tbf, at least with legalization and regulation the hope is all the stuff on the streets cut with God knows what, and not being able to dose properly because different dealers have different strengths, it'll cut down on ODs, it'll cut down on crime, and government gets money.

I know the counter is "we shouldn't encourage it" but we don't encourage cigarettes either and they're legal. Just don't do it. Cigarette usage has decreased despite still remaining legal, and there aren't street people selling cigs. It should be obvious at this point that even putting heavy charges and educating the dangers of these drugs still doesn't work, because so many still do them.
