Wise words, although I would also count work as a blessing in itself. Having a real sense of purpose and usefulness in the world is important. Being forced out of the workforce by advanced aging must be rough

Talking just from the perspective of having work that contributes to society (as opposed to the economic aspects of work) I think volunteering is a good idea.

There was a man at the church I grew up in who was seriously disabled in an industrial accident who volunteered 40 hours a week at the local library. Similarly my grandmother volunteered at a hospital into her 90s. In her case it actually saved her life when she had an aortic aneurysm that almost certainly would have killed her if she hadn't already been at the hospital when it happened!

If you only find purpose and usefulness through work then you are going to find it painful when it inevitably comes to an end.

I wonder if this is why meditation meetups skew to an aging demographic.

So true. Feels good to have hard won skills be utilized.

If you can mix the two that’s great too. Creating a product and seeing people use it is an amazing feeling. Even if it’s not “perfect” and you’d love to have time to add another 10 features ;-)

Bad computer graphics from the '90s / early 2000s textbooks is an aesthetic all its own

It certainly is, I just happen to not like it, so I gave honest feedback.

0ad is similar to Age of Empires, this project is aiming to be as exact of a replica as possible :)

It's estrogenic effects are readily apparent

It seems like a bit of a stretch to assume the idioms someone uses can reliably indicate their moral character. As with anything, granting people the most charitable interpretation of their actions can go a long way. Is the person using the term gyping actually showing their hatred for the gypsies? It's not impossible, but that's not a very charitable interpretation of their actions

damn I looked at your profile!

Knowledge that my car is monitoring my every twitch and heartbeat is more stressful than any traffic situation

It's almost like police are allowed discretion in their duties, and choose willingly not to arrest or fine normal people who are just having a fun time with fireworks on Independence Day weekend (despite the cries of overprotective soccer moms). Really makes you think!

This just in! Most major businesses moving outside of the US pending radical tax code reform!

Your comment was dead but I thought I may as well vouch it. Although you wrote your point in a snarky tone, taking large corporations into account when discussing this topic seems at least halfway in good faith.

FWIW I too am a jobless Millennial at the moment, so it's not like I am playing devil's advocate because of a nefarious hidden agenda.

EDIT: Spelling.

While I am happy for Russell and the rest of the Shifty Jelly team, this acquisition does worry me. Historically, NPR hasn't been the most unbiased source of information, and allowing them direct access to who can and cannot be seen on the discovery feed could easily kill the diversity of views that the platform enjoys right now.
