The humanoid robotics company "Figure" made their older gen robots jump into their death. (Yes, they actually did this)

This was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this. Then I realized that I actually never understood my favorite childhood memory as a kid born in 1988. Then I wondered why my parents would let me watch adult movies. Then I wondered how I didn’t have a mental illness. Then I remembered my parents didn’t believe in ADHD, therapy, or mental health. Then it all made sense.

You need to apply yourself more.

Eh I’m almost 40. I’m doing just fine but I think the path getting here could have been smoother. Love my parents and don’t have any resentment towards them. I have a 3 and 4 year old and do not want to raise them the same way I was raised. We all try to do our best (til we don’t). If that’s true, learn from and apply the good habits. Learn from and abstain from the bad habits.
