A supervisor should understand the concept of respecting people's boundaries. You could always say something like "Hey I'm not really in the mood to talk right now" or "This isn't something I want to talk about". Just a fair warning if you do this, you might get labeled as the odd one the same way you mentioned if you go to HR (the HR one would be a bit worse if I'm being honest).

You'll be pleased to know that despite your attempt I got someone with that joke :)

What? No, it's because they're still alive silly :).

I actually remember learning that no one living in that area could be buried in the cemetery. Fun fact!

If it's enforced it kind of loses it's charm and appeal, no?

Financial security is definitely a dream to a lot of kids.

Sometimes people get used to using certain "crutches" without forcing themselves to be better to not need it. Maybe your friend leaving gives you this kind of opportunity. An opportunity to self reflect and identify what aspect of your life you want to improve. It most definitely will not be easy, and I'm very sorry you're in a situation where seeking therapy is not really an option. But sometimes you need it to get worse before it gets better.

The important thing to keep in mind on this journey is forgiveness and kindness. Learn to forgive yourself for any mistakes you made and will make. Be kinder to yourself and the progress (or lack thereof) that you made. This circles back to some points you made like being betrayed by people close to you. Opening up to them and being kind to them isn't a reflection on your poor judgement or naivety. It's more of a reflection on their character. You shouldn't spin this account as a negative outlook on yourself.

I hope you get out of this rough spot OP.

Sorry, guard-prisoner privilege.

It's a capitalist invention and, therefore, will be used for whatever capitalists deem it profitable to be. Once the money for AI home assistants starts rolling in, then you'll see it adopted for that purpose.

I know. Just people on these kinds of positions used to have the brains to just ignore this stuff and pretend it doesn't happen.

Was this guy born yesterday? You don't "ask" the internet for anything like this. Just adds more fuel to the fire.

I don't think so. I'll probably get a decent amount of time hearing it on the radio at my gym though.

30 year old man here. Pretty much all of her songs I listened to against my will just because of how much they're on the radio. Can't deny some are pretty catchy and get stuck in my head though. I like her old romancy songs like Love Story. I'm a sucker for romance.

These countries you're thinking of are usually attacked regularly where survival is an everyday struggle. For people who dedicate their everyday to survival; it's only expected that they would be fighting back.

In terms of funding...a lot of rich people would love to take advantage of people in this kind of situation. You could also easily make the argument that these rich people help cultivate this kind of situation for their own benefit as well.

Everyone should listen to this new album by arguably the worlds most popular singer

I like you OP :).

You're completely right. That being said however, I feel as fact-checking via AI is jumping from one extreme to the other. There's too much room for error with having an AI monitor and fact check this kind of topic.

This isn't an uncommon or unheard of fact....Googling it will produce a lot of results and studies surrounding it..

For instance, it has been found that using computers excessively can lead to impulsivity, hyperactivity, disorganization, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating and completing tasks - all signs of ADHD.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trudeau is watching what happens with the American election and will base his decisions on that. There haven been some parallels drawn already.

I truly hate what Conservatives have done to politics in this country.

Why is working towards a cleaner and better environment such a controversial issue? They've turned the political landscape into an outrage theatre on what pisses people off the most.

I'm sure people will see this and think things like "Oh well, of course they would have you seen the quality of movies lately?" or "Well Gen Z tend to be more social than previous generations so that probably is a factor".

While true, I wonder how much of it is due to engagement? Gen Z is the first generation who grew up primarily on technology. We've all seen parents who just give their kids their phones or tablets and let them sit there quietly for hours. It tends to lead to hyperactive minds and movies wouldn't satisfy that kind of person (usually). Games definitely would though.
