Kid clearly has issues. Good for noticing. I would consider family counseling in his situation since it sounds like he's not confident in his family bonds. Counseling should help lead to additional constructive behavior relationship wise, like spending more quality time and improved understanding his specific needs. Have him also tested for neurodivergence so he can get proper support (the earlier in life the better) and perhaps moved to a different school. You could also take martial arts classes with him as his confidant to build some confidence. Maybe enroll him into boy scouts or some other activity to expose him to more social opportunities and experience.

I remember learning once that if you want to sell to rich people, upping the price and making it expensive arbitrarily makes it seem more worth having. Its part of the marketing.

Except it does matter. Kids are being exploited into committing crime because they where seemingly getting away with it. A lack of ruthlessness is what got you in this mess in the first place.

Bro it's Sweden. Swedish prisoners have better conditions than the countries a lot of these 13 yos originally came from. It's more like daycare. And if they don't know what they are doing then that's an even better reason to lock them up. The kid gloves are off when it comes to stabbings and murder.

If this guy quit smoking for your sake there's a good chance he would eventually start smoking again with the years. At least in my experience with smokers. Very common for smokers to flip on and off with smoking throughout one's lifetime. If you don't want to deal with that then it's for the best to not invest more into that relationship. It's likely to be a continuous thorn in your side. There's also the coke thing, which in of itself would be an understandable deal breaker. It's normal and healthy to have standards relative to drugs and smoking. Myself, instantly lose respect if they take hard drugs. I even start hating them a little even if I don't know them, that's how asian I am, mentally speaking.

Any market that has to do with electonics is suffering from inflated prices due to shortages thanks to AI. Video game consoles are going to cost up to a stack now. What's crazy to me is why hasn't the bubble burst yet? I realized that AI ain't all that long ago and I can't be the only one. Definitely not worth the kind of money that is being dumped into it.

We live in an attention economy. Marketing is just how you communicate value to people. Without it you get nowhere. Marketing doesn't have to be cringe.

Liking girls is pretty gay actually. Women are super feminine and soft and shit.

Serious crime deserve serious consequences. 13-18 yo are old enough to know what they are doing is wrong. Also, they get help inside prison and are removed from the criminal environment that bred them. It's not like Turkish prison.

If you know anything about child soldiers then you know that they can be monsters. Easily brainwashed and work zealously for cheap. They get paid in food an approval and are expendable. It makes sense to exploit children to do your dirty work if you are resource starved which is probably the case for these gangs.

Sweden didn't put under 18s in prison till now due to the rising gang violence. It's actually normal I think across most of the world to imprison kids for serious crime. Bad immigration policy tends to test liberal utopian dreams.

It's wild how someone can genuinely come to believe that living in a completely centralized surveillance state is somehow a good thing.

It's harder to connect with people when they always think that they can do better. That's the crux of modern dating. It keeps people from being open minded and investing too much into potential relationships.
