Although this is good news, it's sad it only happens after after the war crimes became the worst of this century by far, for so long already.

Exactly. I get the sentiment, but the right technique is important.

I am calm down. See, when I go for a walk, I know I'm safe. Proper walking infrastructure, safe roads so no risk being hit by cars (yes we have cars, not mega trucks). No one has a gun, so that's nice. I can safely walk the streets any time of the day, everywhere I go. If something were to happen to me, there's proper healthcare covered by insurance and a free ambulance ride with a max 10min waiting time, everywhere in the country. We have affordable medicine. There's a working democracy where I live and even though it could be better, a working social system. They are working to decrease the amount of cars in my city and increase greenery so the air is clean. And next to that, our drinking water is the highest rated drinking water out there, even better than bottled water. So are our roads, highest rated in the world. There's public transportation everywhere (still could be cheaper imo) so I sold my car because it became obsolete. I have an e-bike because cycling infrastructure is also everywhere. But don't worry, we still complain about stuff. Like, houses are expensive. While in the US they give children backpacks with bullet proof vests, we force companies to change all ports to USB C. We fight for phones to get replaceable batteries back, in the US they struggle to deal with a company who mass murders tens of thousands each year by making them all addicted to opiods, which still continues to this day.

I've seen developing countries in a better state than the US. Don't forget, the most in the US are born into poverty and have little to no chance to get out of it. The only chance they have is getting killed, end up in jail, die by overdose or make a minimum wage while living in their car until they get sick.

And remember, I've seen many countries on nearly all continents. Many are worse, but also many are better. Much better.

I've seen a lot of the world. Like, a lot. The US is definitely on my "I don't want to be born there" list. And im happy I wasn't. But I would understand most Americans think differently, seeing how self centered they are. But it's a failed state. Insane poverty, wealth inequality, corruption, incarceration numbers, broken judiciary system, crime rates, etc. It's run by a criminal pedophile and everyone knew that when they voted for him. After he ruined a previous term already. Like, Idiocracy at its best. People who actually believe the US is a good country are either ignorant, super rich or blind AF. But yes, there are countries that are worse.

And the US not? Dit you see the news this year? I chose A, Europe (as it's still in A)

Same way the other way around. Remember when grok went full mechahitler?

They demand to be repaid for raising you. We didn't chose to be put on this fucking world. They chose kids, it's their responsibility. We owe them nothing. "But we love you." Then fucking show it instead of making our lives miserable. Give love, get love back. Give shit, demand love back? That's not how it works. "But everything we do, we do with good intentions." Impact weighs heavier than intentions. They prioritize their own wishes over the happiness of their kids. I hate religion, but I like the expression "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Something especially boomers will never understand. And sadly many more in this world. Compassion and accepting others for who they are, the way they are and want to be, are sadly rare these days. My goal in life is to show it still exists. And I have many good friends because of it.

I know some proper boomer parents but they are rare AF.

My parents paid everything for my perfect brother when he went studying. He had a luxurious life as a student.

I failed in school, because I was special (autistic later turned out) but should have acted like nothing was wrong. So I didn't get a penny when I couldn't eat for a week because I was completely broke. Instead they told me. To get my shit together, act like an adult for once and take responsibility for my actions.

So far they never acknowledged they ever made a single mistake, they project all their mistakes and failures into me or others, they complain constantly like spoiled entitled teenagers and they do nothing but judge people who are less fortunate.

I'm 38 now, they still tell me I'm behaving like a child even though I always say sorry for the mistakes I make, I always take responsibility and acknowledge when I'm wrong. I fought in wars (in the military), I have fought mental health my entire life, I struggled within the system my whole life, I have loads of friends who I'd die for and who'd die for me, while my parents have no one and are just a bunch of entitled sour lonely fucking boomers. Who's the responsible adult here? Although I doubted myself many many times, my therapists and friends have ensured me it's them, not me. And I started to see that too, so I ended my relationship with my parents for good. And with my entitled little brother who always takes my mom's side no matter what.

Sadly it took me way to long to let go of the constant argument people with a good relationship with their parents tell me: "but they're your parents dude!"

Exactly, they are, I didn't chose them, unlike my friends who actually treat me with respect and dignity. Fuck toxic family, fuck toxic people, surround yourself with people who love you for who you are and who you love for who they are. Treating each other with mutual respect. Fuck manipulative narcissistic behavior. Even when they are your parents.

My parents live 2h drive away and are already guilt tripping me for that drive. While they would come to me 10% of the time, I had to go there 90% of the time. I'm autistic too, my mom drains me within an hour. No joke.

Finally some good news in this dystopian fucked up world.

I pay zero taxes if I were to sell my house. Because I don't own a house, I can't afford one. I'm forced to rent.

My boomer parents constantly complain their pension is shit. They have to watch their spendings, they tell me. They live in a big house, surrounded by water and nature (in the Netherlands, so expensive AF), with a sailing boat AND an expensive motorboat in front of their house, an SUV and caravan, they completely remodeled their garden including expensive fences, they go on holiday about 5 times a year, they got solar panels and heat pump installed, got a new kitchen, bathroom and toilet, expensive automated sun screens for all their windows (all around the house). But they are treated like shit with their poor pension. My dad bought his first house when he finished his studies, my mom never had to work anymore as my dad made more than enough to support a household of 5, we always lived in middle class neighborhoods, we went to private schools. But they complain they have to buy fuel to come visit me, so they rather have me visit them instead. I live in social housing and struggle every month paying my bills. They never gave me a penny as soon as I left the house as I'm a major disappointment, even though I'm financially and mentally struggling (autism, ADHD, PTSD). They even changed their will because I'm such a disappointment so I will get the bare minimum and my perfect younger brother gets almost everything even though he makes loads of money every month.

I don't give a fuck. I don't want anything from them when they die. I'm not complaining about not getting anything. I'm just complaining their love for me is measured in success and that they are privileged fucks who constantly complain about their sad rich lives while many others are actually struggling and they don't give a fuck about them. They are an example of what's wrong with society. I broke off all contact with them. Fucking boomers. They even turned full right wing racists even though their parents and grandparents fought in the resistance during the second world war and got deported and tortured to death by the nazis in concentration camps.

The size of the menu makes it easy to recognize (with the icons) to find the option you want. The small windows menus can be really long and always makes you read half of it to find the one you need. The only option I would like to see added (as stated by someone else here in the comments) is the "stop after current song".

"Oh no, a platform with options, why would anyone want options?"

Go buy a MacBook if you like basic functions. Yt music is getting closer to old fashioned but amazing Winamp. I praise them for it. With one menu button you have all the options 1 click away. No submenu's, no 5 different menu's, just one with everything. How can you complain about this? I'd say that's mild infuriating. "oh look, a platform is doing something right, let's make fun of them because I just wat a play and pause function and nothing more."

Luigi showed how it's done. And a buffelo is the one to step in his footsteps? All hail this buffelo, shame on the test.

Sorry, that photo isn't perfect either.

This is made from sand by monks.

Those kids should have driven a pickup and carried a gun to defend themselves.

This ruined my day, thanks.

Edit: here is some eyebleech:

Ok. Guess I'm too old for this kind of humor. Thanks to the spoiler though :)

Yeah well that's 30% more than me. I'm at a complete loss, but I don't know why that's so funny. By now I'm too afraid to ask...
