Please stop bringing this kind of crap into "uplifting news."
This is objectively sad news. I'm not happy a kid isn't getting supported by his teacher at school. While it's probably good he was fired for it, it's not what I'd call "uplifting" at all.
My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it's all downhill from here.
Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I'm pretty out of shape so I feel like I'm not "set up" yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I'm not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.
It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I'm not sure about the payoff (ROI).
Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don't have anything to complain about, but I'm still kind of feeling like I'm about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I'm making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.
I don't want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don't have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)
Soo, which is it? Sounds like a bad case of wanting to eat your cake and have it, too. Like, what if Las Vegas and Orlando started figuring out ways to curb tourism? WTF?
Look I'm all for trees and such, especially in urban environments, and I know it's true that more foliage brings down the temperature compared to concrete jungles, but this is far from a guide, let alone a cool one. I'd call it a meme.
I see you excluded the guy across the street singing in his loud PA system for tips, as well as his 800 friends doing the same thing within a 1 mile radius.
(Sorry couldn't help it. Just visited NOLA and it was cool, but I'll be happy if I never have to hear another 11-year-old drumming as loud as he can on a Home Depot bucket.)
Happening to me as well. Had to come to this post with a browser to see comments.
