If only it was that easy

Thanks! I know what I am doing this weekend. 2010 MBP don't fail me now!

Haha I love this metaphor. Very relatable!

However I wasn't lecturing (or trying to). Just providing a paradox that might help me better understand parents perspective.

Doesn't excuse anything. Sidetracked the conversation I apologize

This doesn't provide value : ( Maybe you can help me understand where you are coming from instead of comments like these

Thanks! Even though you are condescending, I really appreciate the feedback

There are many variables, this is true and unfair of me. It was more to get into the mindset of someone else's thinking.

I have however had to work towards someone else's life (maybe not as extreme as a child) and would love nothing other than to serve humanity in a greater way.

I ask because I genuinely don't understand this thinking so thank you for taking the time to respond and not down voting into oblivion. People like you really are why I come to this site!

Not everyone has good parents. Some people need to still figure things out, even at age 30...

See my other comment about my parents. They sacrificed money and I don't talk to them. And yes I do.

I had a shitty childhood though.

Edit - also my parents never had a home and a mortgage...

I once chose to live in my car instead of taking a crappy job. You absolutely have a choice. I really hate this kind of thinking.

So rather than complain, let me ask this to people with kids, which seems to be the people who think they don't have a choice:

What is better? Having a job to take care of kids? Or telling the story to your kids about how you left a place because you didn't believe in what the company believed/ was doing/ etc? It seems the latter would let your child see you as a genuine human being who doesn't allow money to dictate their lives.

I don't have kids and never intend (on purpose), so please let me know if I am missing something.

I don't talk to my parents because they didn't really provide value in my life. But they did sacrifice things for money. Didn't really work out

You don't deserve a job, nor is anyone holding a gun to your head. You chose to have kids and a mortgage.

I currently work at a giant corp and I see this mentality everywhere and I see nepotism in action because of it. I need to find a new job. What I don't have to do is hang around.

(Assuming these people knew what they were getting into)

Working on it :)

Went through a frustrating process when switching to https on my baking blog so I imagine that frustration scales with size.

Then you don't understand depression if you believe that

Poor choice of words. Still had impacted wisdom teeth and was causing a decent amount of pain. I just would prefer pain over paralysis.

Also, I have had terrible medical assistance my whole life, so I have to figure everything out. Not the doctors/dentists. They're just the hired help I get to do the actual heavy lifting. I honestly don't know their purpose if I have to spend half my life doing their research

I recently got my wisdom teeth out because everyone said I should.

Now my jaw is suffers from paresthesia because of it. Most likely I will never get sensation back in that area. Spent money to become paralyzed...

I don't see the value in going to dentist for slightly less tooth pain so this sounds amazing to me.

I have been struggling for 10 years and honestly have no answer for this. So if someone honestly could share some insight, I would be greatly appreciated. I can't rely on weed for temporary happiness most of my life.

Yeah, but getting off the couch is the hardest part

Yeah, carrots are hard to grow. Saying they are easy are going to make people feel even shittier when they try

Emotional benefits don't really help me understand the difference between film and digital. It seems too anecdotal of an experience for me to take it seriously. Might be me though...

On the flip-side, as a person who has been doing cinematography for some time and has spent thousands on equipment over the years, I can say I would have never got into photography and cinematography if it wasn't digital.

Nothing about the experience of developing film sounds interesting to me.

Would you mind sharing other subtle nuances of shoot on film vs digital?

Thanks for an awesome product. How long was this acquisition on your Trello board?

He's disrupting parenting!

Working with designers who just want to make a few changes. All that PHP can be intimidating, but basic templating is doable.

+1 for twig when using PHP. Also, if working in Wordpress, the combination of ACF and Timber (twig for Wordpress) will get rid of a lot of frustrations.

Small amounts, but it's a first step! This could be a bad thing. I might get fat.

Created a beer bread recipe blog in the hopes that I get big enough that breweries will send me beer. Last month, a brewery decided to send me beers to "play around with". Mission accomplished.
