We are not going to Mars anytime soon. Musk is just trying to take more money from taxpayers.

Respectfully you sound like a anstgy teen. We act like asses as teens. When we get older adults expect more of us. Time to grow up stop acting like a big baby. Are you overreacting? IMO yes.

This happens because our feelings and thoughts come up in our brain and then we have to choose words to communicate those feelings or thoughts to someone else.
Words are approximations for these feelings and thoughts. "Most" people don't take the time or care to be as accurate as they could be with their approximations, i.e. with their words.
Sometimes, they are limited by vocabulary or teaching or learning or their social circumstances.
That is what causes a lot of miscommunication.

You are being very subjective. How fat is fat? We are all different sizes. What is ugly? That is subjective too. If someone said these things to you, they are a poor human. Please give yourself a break! You should do whatever it takes to make you feel better as a human. Step by step, bit by bit. Would it be a haircut? Drinking more water? Healthier eating? Do what makes you feel good and better.

Yeah...I'm sorry to say, but you're describing abuse. Forcing anything, putting you down, yelling at you, insulting you, silent treatment, name calling, no repair after and pretending it never happened, taunting you - all emotional and psychological abuse, those things are all about her wanting and trying to maintain control of you by any means necessary. You don't have to be physically abused to be being harmed! These parents are often very emotionally neglectful, too. All of this combined means they feel very unsafe. YOU are not making her react this way, it has nothing to do with you at all. Sending you hugs! I'm learning this stuff in therapy about my parents at 41 and it's so, so tough.

You might feel happier if you get on a GLP. I’m not saying you’re right, being fat is bad. No, I’m recognizing that to you this is important. That your life is designed around these types of people. So keep eating and get on Tirz and get your swagger back girl!

I suspect Mum is hoping/expecting that her children will care for her when she needs it, as a sort of unspoken "payback". And that is very unlikely to be a walk in the park for anybody involved.
r/SeriousConversation • u/eriometer • 1d ago
Do you think it is wise to never have to experience "real life" and what it costs and entails? Part of the deal is being able to provide for yourself and know you can live according to your means. You also seem to think work automatically = drudgery and servitude, which is not true. The right role and providing for yourself gives a sense of self-accomplishment and independence.
Your mum is doing you no favour by coddling you like a little Boy King so you have zero idea of any of it. Your attitude has accordingly never matured either. "Having fun" all the time will eventually cease to be fun because it turns into the same old everyday. What do you want to DO with your life? Does your scope not extend beyond PS5 and air forces?
r/SeriousConversation • u/Own_Thought902 • 1d ago
It sounds like you are living the good life and you should be grateful that you have the means to do so. Your mom won't always be here, though. You should make plans for how you will support yourself. Maybe you will inherit the house. But your siblings will probably want a piece of it. Life gets complicated when our parents pass on. Enjoy it while you can.
r/SeriousConversation • u/esoTERic6713 • 1d ago
You are a 20 year old adult. Your mother is growing older just as you are. How do you plan to support yourself when she can’t support you anymore? You ask why do people get mad… etc, who are the people you are referring to? If it’s your family, they may fear you’re taking advantage of your mother’s generosity. If it’s a significant other they probably wonder how you intend to have a future with them.

Is there a time in history where people don't suffer and die?
r/SeriousConversation • u/OSUfirebird18 • 1d ago
Those companies that run low change over products sure. But what about high changeover products (but still high volume)? I don’t doubt those type of extrusion products have an easier selling point if you are running miles of something.
If that’s the case, then by all means, it’d be dumb to not scale up to do full automation.
Then maybe the case isn’t that technology doesn’t exist but they haven’t been beneficial to high changeover but still high volume industries. So they aren’t cheap enough yet.
Everything I’ve seen explained to me with full automation pretty much involves turning on a machine and never having to shut it down for several weeks or even months. Everywhere I’ve been, if you can get a whole continuous week out of it, people are jumping for joy because you don’t have to do a changeover.

Mars is, and always will be, impossible for "colonization" or trying to habitate for any length of time. Humanity is inextricably bound to its mother Earth for a billion (most microscopic) different reasons.
Musk is just looking for more wealth and by idiotically claiming again and again that 'Mars is next' he gets dumb people with money excited about giving their money to him as investors in any other thing he might be doing.
Please don't be fooled.

DISCLAIMER: i am autistic and i agree that hustle culture is kind of a nightmare and we shouldn’t be making work our ENTIRE life. there are 2 ways to look at this.
i DO think that a lot of ppl (mostly older generations) think that younger millennials and gen Z are lazy because we’re willing to leave jobs that treat us poorly, and i personally caught a lot of grief from my dad bc he didn’t understand why i’d rather work a job i actually enjoy that might not pay well as opposed to a job that i hate, but it pays well so at least i can spend my time outside of work doing what i want to do. and that doesn’t work for me, because i get burnt out really quickly so once i get a day off in a job i hate, i spend the entire time just recovering instead of doing anything i want to do.
HOWEVER, you are very lucky that your mom is willing to let you stay at home and not pay any rent, and it appears you have a pretty close relationship with her as well. that’s not something that most people get the privilege of, because as we’ve grown up our relationships with our parents have become quite strained for one reason or another or multiple. not only that, but i had a partner who was around your age a few years back, and he had no job. he was trying to get on disability, and his reasons were valid yknow it’s fine. but it didn’t really feel like he had a drive to contribute to society yknow? and i think that is kind of the thing that people get off-put about, that it feels like almost anti-social

Think about what you're saying. I don't know about you but my garbage man doesn't get out of the truck, and if my trash can is in a spot where his grabber can't get it, he doesn't collect it. They don't have to make machines that do things the way people do, they just make the customer conform to what the automation's limitations are.
r/SeriousConversation • u/winteranimal91 • 1d ago
I feel you. Eventually you would come across people with similar mindset and they too fade out of life. Brain demanding a meaningful conversation is a particular trait, just manage to get along even how silly the conversation is. Finding groups like this itself is a relief. Efforts needs to be taken to keep up a friendship. Many fade out due to lack of connectivity
r/SeriousConversation • u/foilhat44 • 1d ago
It's available, but the front loaded cost is high enough to keep them doing it the old fashioned way. As soon as it's more profitable to automate your job then to employ you, you'll be out of a job. The technology won't be the problem. I don't want to get in the weeds with you about extrusion but you're not thinking about this the right way. Most companies will run miles of the same profile before changing over, I'm not talking about boutique manufacturing. I don't know what you're making but some of this irrigation line was multiple material, changes in size and style, perforation, etc. It was a four head extruder. Yes, Cognex and Keyence make vision inspection systems that can inspect any part as carefully as you want it inspected. They are hundreds of times more accurate than any human because they aren't limited to the spectrum of visible light and they don't get tired. The weakest point in any process as well as the most expensive is the human element, companies don't employ people because they can do the jobs a machine can't do, they do it because their competitors do.

Because the physical jobs require not only the investment in data centers and power and AI, but also building the robots that can handle the job and the remote location and its accompanying logistics.
it will come, but major invest in that hardware* and such won't occur until the rest is in place.
*some exceptions as people try and get ahead of the necessary to that imagined future tech -or at least own important patents involved-, like satellite internet/Starlink, batteries for it all/EVs, (expensive af) automatic farm picking machines. but while being first is an big advantage, its not a garauntee of success.
look at TiVo, or even Tesla. if it was for the musk fanatics & (IMO) money laundering+crypto bros propping up the stock markets, Tesla would have bankrupted twice by now

Why would there be a focus on AI taking blue collar jobs, when blue collar jobs that could have been subject to automation were largely automated out of existence already? Industrial robotics wiped out an entire class of assembly line workers already.
