Mr. Married with Kids probably isn’t even allowed to look at Harley Quinn, poor guy.

Unironically this. Different people have different live goals.

People don’t understand soldiers. You get discipline, confidence, structure, and community, but it is just a job done by normal people. I know door kickers that are just chill normal folks and one that refuses to own a gun. I know a Ranger that worked against governments and trained people to rise up against their oppressors, that fell for trump (and I miss that dude a lot, he is genuinely a good guy and was a hero of mine until he went MAGA…he fell for the deception and I couldn’t pull him out. I get real bad “left a man behind” in the pit of my stomach when I bring him up…fuck.). I know an MP woman, that was in and active for 10 years, that is an adorable little goth chick that works at the local hippy co-op store.
If you work around people, especially a factory or blue collar job, look around, those are soldiers. Dumb ones, lazy ones, ones that should be doing something great but aren’t. it is a little less equivalent when it comes to combat roles, but you still have a spread, it isn’t like the fantasy portrays.

“Trained people to rise up against their oppressors”
Wow he trained ISIS?

Its just a regular job where you are trained to kill other people.
If it wasn’t condoned by the government, they would be considered trained murderers.
Oh, but it is against the enemies of the government, so that makes it all right.

listen bro, animals kill animals all the time, animals fight over territory, the military is just a mechanized extension of that, idk what you want me to tell you, but this is literally just the natural consequence of the industrial revolution.
At least now we aren’t killing millions of people, only hundreds of thousands.

That’s humanity, going strong for thousands of years off the backs of soldiers.
Freefall@lemmy.world 1 week ago
A small % are trained to, and actually do, kill. Which isn’t the point of the comment anyway (except your comment proving the point being made). Also, your last line is incorrect.

“I can’t believe someone would be so stupid as to fall for trump”
“Everyone who works in a factory is dumb and lazy and should be doing something better”
Wonder why he got elected.

That isn’t how quotation works. Reading comprehension failed you on the second point.
I very much can believe people are stupid enough to fall for trump’s scams. Our education system is in shambles. For example, imagine an adult that doesn’t understand quotations. As for the second “quotation”, I said nothing about “Everyone who works in a factory”. I could have also included some positive examples, as those parallels exist as well. I assumed that was incredibly obvious to the point of not having to be stated outright, and would be excess verbage that didn’t directly communicate my point. My comment was more of an indictment of SOME soldiers. People ignorantly put them all up on pedestals, but if you look around your workplace, you are going to see a few of those shitty people, you get the same among the enlisted. It isn’t “everyone” by any stretch, just like in a factory. They should be judged by their merits and qualities not their job title. Some, maybe even a lot, do earn it, but not all and not by default. Idolatry isn’t healthy, look at those maga fools for an example why.
To your last point; again, imagine an adult that can’t parse information, makes only negative assumptions, doesn’t know how to use quotations. That level of ignorance, persecution fetishism, and lack of critical thinking is a product of a poor education system and the poorly educated and fact-inoculated is how we have so many trump supporters.

Yes. They are people. Probably nice people. I’m sure there’s bunch of cops who are also nice people. Doesn’t matter. The problem is systemic. ACAB includes military.

Harley Quin r34 is generally pretty good quality honestly, and other than the fact fetish stuff it’s fairly normal as far as r34 goes. So don’t be so hard on yourself there are much more degenerate things you could be jorkin it to.

My neighbour is almost 60 and she still lives with her mum! (And when she married the husband moved with them.)
I think that it’s fine to still live with family. As long as nobody is a leech or a control freak.

As long as they have healthy relationship and he have his own job to not be dependent on her everything is fine here.

I think the only reason this is a thing is because houses are prohibitively expensive for about 60% of the population right now. So your options are
Most people are much better off with a house from their parents than paying some rich douches mortgage for them.

I forgot to mention, this is in South America. As far as I know, cross-gen households used to be the norm here, and mortgaging your home isn’t common, because there’s simply less social pressure to leave your parents’ home if you can’t afford a house.
sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 week ago
2 doesn’t work, because your parents will functionally sell off their house to generate funds to pay for an assisted living facility, or all the medical debts they incur in old age.
You may technically still inherit the house, but you’ll also inherit all the reverse mortgage payments.
Sure, there will be exceptions to this, but in general?
Poor millenials and zoomers are going to stay poor and get poorer.
They largely will not be getting a generational inheritance or wealth transfer.
Every article you read about a generational inheritance also neglects to mention that half of the wealth that is supposedly set to be by millenials/zoomers, from boomers, is concentrated in the hands of about 1% of boomers.
