Historically the norm, but since post-war there has been a period where it became the norm to move out as soon as you gained financial independence and for the general population to atomize, but now it is becoming more common again for adult children to live with their parents due to the economy and all. Historically, independent living is a luxury to a certain degree. I find this exciting because it feels like nature is healing in a way. The atomizing of society has had certain negative effects and eroded much of its community. There are a number of important and significant things that multi-generational living can provide, such as stronger bonding, stronger financial and social resources and support for raising children, taking care of elderly, etc. Divvying up responsibilities can get those people really good at their responsibility, like a traditional housewives in the old days could be extremely good cooks (not saying that we should go back to traditional gender roles by the way or to the same capacity). Apes together strong basically. When everyone has to survive on their own as independent units, we're overall less effective socially compared to communal cooperation. My hope is that multi-generational living could help prevent certain social issues, such as the mental health crisis, the elderly crisis, and preventing overstretching healthcare, housing and other social goods. Overall, people will be effectively more self-sufficient which frees up more resources. In our modern age, we have forgotten how to survive without relying on faceless institutions. Historically, we survived communally by pooling our resources and assigning responsibilities. A degree of communal living could make society much more effective, healthier and happier and help insulate against institutional failure/collapse, like elderly neglect at big senior homes or economic downturn. Communes is how humans survive in the absence of a government taking care of their survival after all. Western and especially American culture is very independent though (America also has a lot of land) and it's no longer a given that work is locally accessible, a big reason why people move away from their families. We don't exactly build houses for multi-generational living and we have higher standards than Cambodians. We're not all going to be sleeping in one giant bed in a tiny living room if we can afford otherwise. It would demand greater interpersonal and communication skills and certain personalities are not built for it or get along with their family like that. If you don't want to play the game you shouldn't have to. Culture is probably the biggest barrier to accessing this social strategy in the absence of economic restraint.

To clarify one of my arguments, I think too much social atomization is dysfunctional societally and politically. It strains resources and makes people lonelier. It's antithetical to how humans are built.

That's just the economic reality of it currently and a bit besides the point. Being able to afford your own house is a luxury. It's a cultural expectancy based on post-war economics that made it normative to buy your own home. The more time passes, the further we move away from the economic golden age of the boomers. You expect and value independence maximally like it's a given. There's a good chance that's your culture speaking. Just try to consider the benefits for second. A lot of our social problems are due to a lack of social connections.

Walks like cope, swims like cope, and quacks like cope. Probably cope.

Ignore the will of the people at your own peril.

The rise of nazism was in part due to democratic decline. Your missing the point.

The issue with self-diagnosing is that it's difficult to account for differentials. Like for example CPTSD can give similar symptoms to autism relative to socializing. Things can be more complex than a simple check list of symptoms. Checking symptoms is the easy part, so to speak. It's also true for diagnosing others, which I think is mildly unethical as well. The point of a diagnosis is so professionals can better treat you. It is generally better to make statements about certain behaviors being in line with certain symptoms of autism than a blanket statement "X person is autistic". Like, how would you know?

This is an issue of the system itself undermining democracy. Tampering is minor compared to that.

I think it is interesting how in this sorts of discussions nobody really thinks about what the populace wants. People did vote for politicians like Trump because he gives them a sense of agency over a political system that seems obtuse and unmanageable while at the same being angry over policy that didn't get their consent, like immigration. More technocracy isn't going to solve anything without also addressing a fundamental distrust in institutions. Civic consent is an issue that a lot of liberal types tend to gloss over, but it is fundamental to a healthy democracy. A lot of "wokiesm" and culture wars is in part about policy being implemented without civic consent, like immigration or trans stuff.

China is a capitalist country.

Legit CIA-worthy resume shit LOL. That's really cool. I bet you could use those skills working for some kind of agency, if your a little "morally flexible".

29/36 ✌️😎 I think I did that test once before. When you try to "figure it out" instead of just going with the flow your more likely going to get it wrong. Could use less obscure wording though. Who the fuck uses "incredulous" to describe someone? Bro's feeling a little discombobulated.

I saw a video once of an elderly Sonic living in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by Deviant Art OCs. He was being accosted by the diaper gang. They where crawling on walls and shit. I think about that sometimes.

I'm pretty sure Trump is neurodivergent.

How? The reason it didn't catch on unlike AI is because it didn't provide any tangible value besides being an avenue for degenerate speculation. What's the point in introducing scarcity to one of the few mediums where scarcity is inherently absent? The only NFT-like thing that is successful that I can come up with is Counter Strike skins, but that is in large part about gambling and speculation.

Jumping to conclusions the thread.

An addiction psychologically is thinking you'll miss out on something if you don't partake. If you can build a strong emotionally compelling case why your not missing out by not partaking then you remove that underlying psychological foundation for your compulsion.

Invading Greenland would be very unpopular, even among repuplicans. He might risk losing his power if he's seen as going too far. He is currently politically constrained from maximally realizing his imperialist ambition. Also, just because he says that a militarily invasion is off the table doesn't necesarilly mean that a military invasion is actually off the table when you consider he's a populist that doesn't deal in hard facts and truths. All his stated reasons for taking Greenland have been bogus.

I don't take hype seriously because it is largely unsubstantiated speculation and corrupted by a need to garner investments. I'll believe when I see it bruv.

You could try and sell on Etsy. Look if you can plug into an existing market, then you don't have to spend a bunch of time and energy to convert random street goers. High quality stickers can sell up to 15 dollars per piece on Etsy.

In my experience, people with a recent autism diagnosis go through a phase where they think everyone who's slightly conventionally different is autistic.

Autism It's genetic. People are too eager to whitewash autism as merely a variant without acknowledging how much of a disability it can be, especially socially. Parents energy isn't going to change a lack of innate motor skills, not being able to hold a spoon without gripping it like a baby for example. Or freaking out over dust. Something like 71% of autistic adults are unemployed and have a reduced average life expectancy. It's a disability to a varying extent.

The point of a diagnosis is to formally treat an issue. If you don't have an issue you don't necessarily benefit from the label.

He didn't have the cards.

What are you waffling about?
