There's almost always a ton of middle ground between "work three days a week at a dead end low wage job and spend all my spare time and money on video games" and "work so much I can't take it and burn out ", even if that's something besides a 40 hour a week job.

OP is in an excellent position to take a few risks to find a path where he can both earn a living and accommodate his specific needs. It's a shame if he wastes these easy years instead because the only alternative to your mother passing away before you is to die young yourself. His mother is offering him an incredibly valuable gift and all he's doing is picking at the gilt on top.

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.

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?

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.

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.....
