Now, obviously it would depend on how shit your life is with your parents vs alone, but in my case I was much happier being poor but living with great roommates and experiencing just simple privacy for the first time.

I think their point is that scaling to the volume of beef production of other countries isn't correct because the methods of production vary widely enough to produce much different results. As in, some countries likely produce more or less CO2/kg of beef so it makes no sense to simply scale the number they got from a single county to global scales.

Not the guy you're replying too though, so I'm not certain.

Interesting, I've read / heard that cats heal themselves through purring but even that was just a guess with the next leading theory being that they'll purr when in pain to comfort themselves.

Exactly! My sister worries that she spoils her dog but I explain that animals aren't children, we aren't supposed to be raising them into well adjusted people who need to go out on their own into the world. They're just pets, we keep them for companionship and joy, and giving them simple pleasures and seeing them happy is the point.

I mean everyone added together, mortgage, car payment, various insurance premiums, utilities, groceries, etc

My mortgage is $1200 of that, though.

While you're completely correct, the cost of living in America is also much higher than than the world median.

What we really should be looking at is the ratio of pay : cost of living but raw salary is just easier for the masses to see and be mad about.

As an example, 3.5k USD is about my monthly bills.

I imagine they could if they knew exactly what you did and when, but if it doesn't get discovered until later and nobody knows what happened, it would probably be a bitch to figure out

I usually play lower level missions when I'm trying to grind solo, but I keep forgetting to turn off public match making and end up with a full lobby of low level players plus me

Basically (and I'm not an expert here), the Uber rich get tax free spending money without taking big taxable salaries by leveraging their assets for super low interest loans. Current tax codes don't consider these loans as taxable income, but they're being used for the same things us peasants use our income for. By considering these cash flows as taxable, billionaires wouldn't be able to hide behind the "it's net worth not liquid income" bullshit these use to dodge taxes.

What I'm getting from reading these responses is that exercise can alleviate some of the crushing effects of depression, but because it's difficult and time consuming, you'll need a better reason for it than just "I'm suppose to" otherwise you'll just be making your life harder and creating an unhealthy relationship with exercise.

Everybody has to fight through the first few months to genuinely create a good workout habit, but if you start small (such as a 20 minute walk 3-4 days a week), you'll be able to ease into the really good stuff without so much hardship. The plan is to be working out for life, so what's the rush?

I believe the army created negative associations in me about exercise, since they used it as punishment and I always had the anxiety of my next PT test hanging over my head. It took a few years to disentangle myself from those connections and begin working out the way I wanted to and really seeing the results I was looking for. Now, after ~5 years of very frequent exercise, I'm finally getting to the point where I feel like it's a net positive to my mental health.

Seriously, I ordered a steam controller right before they were discontinued, and got a refund :(

That's kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I've not even finished an entire playthrough since.
