It really doesn't help that the job market in Ohio is terrible and the unemployment requirements have been arbitrarily difficult ever since COVID settled down. Scammers know how to take advantage of desperate times.

Biden campaigned on similar promises and ideals like resolving student debt and improving the economy. Even personally relevant promises like creating a public health jobs corps (relevant to my degree and field of study). The only thing he sufficiently accomplished were the initial vaccination efforts, but it's as if we stopped having an actual president into and after 2022: The filthy rich managed to get exponentially richer with this war-supply economy and stock market presidency. My student debt is still a burden in the back of my mind and all of my available graduate-entry jobs are either severely underpaid or shilled out to robots that also vet my applications. Until the war profiteer and stock market billionaires actually pay their fair share (which they should have been a few years ago) or provide citizens with jobs that can sustain a healthy living, any good socialist promises that are made are flat-out lies because senility and flacid mental acuity won't even be a valid excuse anymore.

If it's the classic Watchmen comic, there's not a lot wrong with it aside from the unnecessary pirate interludes and a few parts of the ending sequence (not spoiling anything).

The deceased Comedian is supposed to be seen as a horrible guy and that's portrayed well. There's a lot of political intrigue and philosophy that desires provoking thoughts as well, so it's more of a mature read rather than pure shock value like a lot of fiction media nonsense these days.

There are lifestyle modifications to lessen the likelihood of each. That's not to say that there isn't a significant hereditary factor for each (there is, upwards of 60% chance based on genetics), but it is important for us to look at his comment: It's all "me, me, me". Not an ounce of selflessness in that rant. Not "do I have enough to give others when they need it" but rather "will I have enough for myself in my later years". No mention of even passing on knowledge to the next generation or volunteering for a cause (which can even be done as early as in your 20s, I do so myself), but rather the need to lament his own wealth.

He's already indoctrinated into the idea of not caring for other people, which is a method that this system has incorporated into its successful persistence through the last two centuries. Of course he isn't the problem when there are bigger fish to fry, but he is an example of the results of the problem since there are thousands just like him who have grown wealthy enough through selfish desire and barely understand the potential that they have for the sake of others.

It should be considered that America is investing in its infrastructure by making sure that its educated population of professionals and pre-professionals is able to find suitable work and stable living conditions debt-free. Instead of that, we have a severe lack of foundational jobs for the educated (unless you're an overpaid nurse or engineer that will always be in demand), exacerbated cost of living, and foreign students taking away competitive education seats from American students. Everything has been one big sellout to the wealthy, domestic or otherwise, while average Americans and their students suffer. Student debt forgiveness isn't a metric designed to be measured by a sum of money arbitrarily gained in return after investing, it's an investment in the wellbeing of its society and its people.

 

Was recently granted the privilege of a permanent ban on reddit for a username I had for over four years and it led me down the rabbit hole of seeing more and more claims from other people who went through similar experiences. Hell, there's a lot of them. Frivolous reports resulting in punishment, appeals being automatically denied, the works, etc.

It might just be a presumption, seeing how many bots slide under the radar each day on that site through posts and comments, but I have a strong feeling that most (seemingly random) admin bans are designed to flush out active and semi-active human users rather than weed out bot code posing as people online. The end goal? Whether it's to create an automated, cyclical platform designed to extract marketing and ad revenue from a steady stream of new users or anything else for that matter, I know not. All I know for certain is that the ban tendencies have ramped up in the recent year and the people actually being punished for it are those who have been using it for long periods of time and manage to conveniently fall on the edge of a subjective TOS offense.

I had my suspicions that it was gradually turning into an AI-fueled cesspit, but now I've had my chance to really believe that it has. Good riddance in that case
