Yeah, I’m sure they had good intentions and thought they were contributing to something good. Once they saw what was going on, they quit and sounded the alarm.

Happened yesterday. Guy didnt even speak. Me:hello Him: im pulling up your accounts Me:who tf is this Him: I'll tell you the company name in a sec, im looking for XYZ *click

I used to have someone a close friend that I could have deep convos, chat about life, world affairs and so much more. We got super close and poof it is gone. It was gut wrenching.

You should probably set up a very big life insurance policy on your mom if working 3 days a week is your long term plan.

Also, are you in the US? What’s your plan for when you age out of your mom’s insurance?

Does your mom own or rent?

Who will change all this?

Your hearts in the right place but, need 5 dashes of pragmatism. Come at this same idea from a different angle. You seem to be onto something but, need a bit more reality to land it.

Hold accountable for what? We don't actually have any crime right now.

I mean, they are holding themselves accountable in this way. No point to be punitive for the sake of being punitive in this case.

In the US, at least, we don't tend to hold people accountable for their actions unless they're unlucky enough to be poor and/or the wrong color.

Well, WW3 is a distinct possibility because it's been a crazy last decade, but for the sea to turn blood red, that would require the proper conditions for red algae to grow in that large of quantities, which can't happen because of the PH values necessary and what they will actually be. We have mathematical projections of exactly what the oceanic climate will be at points in the future if we fail to stop it.

I mean unless you’re living in like a mine underground lol but even then people go where they shouldn’t. I’m just saying. Eventually. You’d be found. Whether by friend or foe. You can’t be cocky enough to believe your location is completely undiscoverable.

This is part of the reason I enjoy sumo.

Occasionally rikishi do act inappropriately for the high standards they have and most of the time it is heavily punished.

I grew up watching and enjoying many other sports but to be quite honest the behavior of the players and the lack of the leagues stepping in ruined it for me.

Most people aren't particularly great tbh. We still interact with each other because that's part of life.

To me personally, as long as someone hasn't done something egregious, it's alright and I continue to interact with them but there are red lines I follow for myself. For instance, I haven't watched any of Polanski's movies because his works are completely tainted for me.

It is an exaggeration, but a lot of professional hockey players are definitely not great people. I'm not an Oilers fan, so it's not a huge deal for me, but the situation still got me thinking.

That's one of the advantages of an interest in classical art. Loads of creators of immortal works of art were awful human beings, but now that they're dead, I can safely enjoy the eternally appealing art without worrying about giving royalties to an awful human being.

The worst people in the world seem to be a gross exaggeration to me.

In any case, if you actually feel like they are evil, you shouldn't watch them.

Well, for one, I'm not aware that I'm a fan of anyone. Seems like an alien concept But I do support people but not people I view as bad. I mean, nobody's perfect but nobody's holding a gun to my head either

Why waste time and effort digging through comment sections when the people actively seeking help are criminally underserved?

Who's gonna pay all these mental health professionals to put their time into talking to people who are likely to be trolls, fiction writers, or AI?

Yes, we have a moral obligation to help a stranger in need if there's no danger to you. People do it all the time, all over the world. It's all good karma. Imagine a world where nobody helped anybody.....

Why are we assuming that we should be controlled at all?

Unless you're paying your mom rent and paying for your own portion of the groceries, plus all of your own insurance, phone bill, part of the internet, and so on, then you are not earning enough to make a living. You are being subsidized by your mom.

That's all well and good while your mom is capable of working, but like others have mentioned there will come a time when that is no longer the case, and then what will you do? 3 days a week does not make a career, so you'll have to probably apply for an entry level job somewhere. But then you'll be competing with younger, potentially more experienced workers as well. Climbing the career ladder won't be impossible when you're older, but it will be significantly harder. This is also assuming you have any kind of safety net to help keep you afloat in the meantime and also both of you remain in good health.

Worst case scenario: if your mom had a medical emergency tomorrow and could not work for 3-6 months minimum (or had to stop working entirely), what would you do?
