> I don't think a paying customer should have to go through all that.

You vote with your wallet. Stop complaining. seriously. OP just provided you the info. 1+ for Unhooked. For Ad-blocking I use uBlock Origin.

Thanks! You have a really interesting taste in music I think. I just skimmed through every album.

I saved the album from: Tim Hecker, Sunn 0))), Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Brian Eno

With Mozart and Bill Evans I am familiar.

The Godspeed You! album I found not as straigt forward and distinct as I like my music. But don't take this as proper critique. Even though I hear lots of music, I have no 'intellectual' base to say anything substential about music else than wether it clicks with me or not. For some music I think I get the (an) 'idea' and other music just feels all over the place and I can't get hold of the (an) general idea.

Sleep: Jerusalem I didn't found on spotify. Seems like a very generic name... Are you sure this is the full name of artist and album?

If you have more to share, I'm happy to listen to just a bit more. Don't you go over board, I have other things to do as well ;)

> Cost, mortgage/childcare require two salaries

I'm not sure if that's healthier.

You could do that on kickstarter. An audience exists there already.

Although it's mostly small investors/ backers there. You have thought more of the bigger investors, haven't you? Research is expensive indeed...

I can't imagine there is no service that doesn't work how you describe it.

The flaw is how you described it. 'to fit and look good on me' is very subjective. Even 'to fit [...] me' is as subjective as it can get. You'd need Instagram/ Pinterest/ etc. data to determine what actually 'fits' you.

suspicious... quick question: is your first name Elon?

very well written. thank you!

two thoughts that came up:

- your 3 Ps sounds like a lot like I imaging older generations (older than me, mid20). Do you think this is changing with newer generations? As you said, this all is pretty much bullshit...

- From what OP said, she's more on the intellectual side. Men (or human in general) on this side might be more open and doesn't follow the cave man 'uga-uga' mentality

Sure, it's a valid point and good to put out there, but it doesn't really match her goals:

> Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of falling in love and having a family of my own.

I think she is aiming for a more traditional family and has more romantic ideas about her relationship. But I could be wrong...

Let's wish her the best in any case :)

Can you elaborate a little more? I'm interested why being a mentor (or professional) excludes being a friend.

I mean, we're talking about social interaction and that's always different. My 14 year old self would have needed a personal connection to feel good in a new environment.

If 'being a friend' means not doing work or something in this direction, then I completetly agree.

Thanks, that's about what I suspected right after posting ('something like log-function'). But does it have to be?

The more I think about it, there's quite a wide range of data sets I can create from my initial rule. The daily increase is not limited, so it should be possible to create almost every kind of graph, as long as it increases. Truely a noob question I came up with, if I don't overlook something again...

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I haven't been online here and simply didn't see it.

Thanks for the long reply, it was a interesting read. I wish you really well.

You mentioned homelessness and mental inllnes several times and I can imagine a situation (I don't know if its acurate though) in which I can understand you. The breaking point for me would be, if I can no longer pull myself out of a misery on my own - without help in sight. That must be very frustrating.

Being angry is not bad or anything. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be and feel (almost) anything. I don't have a problem with that in general. For me personally, I try to stay away from it, because nothing comes out of it. I'm not resposible and if something turns out a way, then it turned out that way. I can't change that - it already happend. I can (if I am in a situation that enables me to) still change how things are going forward. But 'anger' is a bad companion for that.

My fortune is, that I still have parents where I can occupy a room in the basement. Constant (several years long) failure and mental illness are no strangers to me as well. But I came to the conclusion that it does not matter the slightest what other people think about me or how they life their lifes. It does not take away anything from me and I have to accept that. I'm curious, but I stopped comparing (for example). What I can understand though, is, that I am in a lucky spot to have a working support system. If that breaks apart, I don't know if I would go sour and cynical.

To make one point clear, I don't really have a stance here, I'm just interested. I didn't meant to attack you, if you fell like this was the case.

About: “it’s not the quantity of what you’ve seen but what you took from it” - I know this was a cheesy thing to say, but it was a interesting realisation for me to have in the past. I was raised christian and had rose tinted glasses on for the most of my life. When I 'woke up', it really buffled me how different people actually are and that there is so much more nuace to everything. And most imporantly, there are people (in your age, eg. my parents and friends) who keep their glasses on their whole life and don't even know it. They're missing out big time. After seeing that, age is no longer a 'trump card' for me. Nevertheless I try to (hopefully successful) respect the old. But I don't accept a "I'm old, my argument is based on my rich experiences" any longer. (This is not a critique to a religion, but what people in my environment made from it.)

See, I can 'write my heart out' (a little) and go in ramble mode as well.

I hope you have an above-average day today, FollowingTheDao. I wish you very well :)

Terrible idea. This amplifies turbo capitalism. You'd have to squeeze everything out of a trademark. Otherwise someone else finds out about the potential and bids according to it.

Why do you think there is a 'right way' to live life?

'right' needs to be 'inherent'. There is no 'inherently right' in life. So where does that come from that you think there is a 'right' in life?

Sure, someone else would have overcome it. Could have been just around the corner. You don't know.

What's the solution if it's actually like you assumed?

As extensively covered, chitchat is only the start. If you want deep, meaningful communication, you have to start somewhere.

I'm not discussion about whether that's difficult for someone, but what you describe does not come from thin air. So what's the solution and if there isn't any, what's the most doable approach then?

Interesting comment exchange, both of you.

The tone of your conversation seems almost enraged to me. That's why I want to get in quick. Because I don't quite understand why your positions didn't lead to a more light-hearted approach to the world.

I'm in my 20s and feel a disconnect to (some, most, ?) people as well. I accepted that and called it a day. I encounter other fellow human beings as possibilities without expecting anything. I'm on a walk through life, mostly observe and act only if I want (or have) to. I'm quiet.

> And I’m not about to express my interest to sun stranger on the Internet that I don’t have a biological or physical connection with. That’s not the connection I’m looking for.

Can you elaborate why you accepted this argument then? I often wonder about this when internet stuff gets heated. I'm no stranger to this. For me it sometimes is a valve for something and that shows me I'm far from completed. It makes my a little more humble.

> First, I’m 55 years old.

I have respect for older people and what they have to say, but I also know my dad. By age (and your assumption), he has seen more than you, but... yeah. I came to the conclusion, it's not the quantity of what you've seen, but what you took from it. You surely have thought about that before, but then I wonder why you had to mention it

Generally speaking, you're right. Nothing is free - esp not for YT to host the data. But I think it's fair to complain about the scope. OP mentioned unskippable 15 sec ads before a 17 sec video. That's bullshit. I've seen it. It's not just on the 4th short video. It's on every video. Sure, you can go elsewhere anytime - nevertheless it's frustrating.

The best experience is to close the app/ site as soon as the first ad shows before a video. Not sure if it was actually the case, but after strictly following this, I thought I had trained the algo to not show me ads for a while.
