@Soli: There's a certain amount of truth to that. Now, whether people choose to accept and support that paradigm is another question. A realist or neorealist would say that we have to act in our own best interest first, and that the (probably) best long-term course of action is to keep potential peer competitors or hydraulic despots weak and unstable.

It kind of saddens me that my kids most likely won't have as high a standard of living when they're in their 20's as I did. But then that doesn't have to mean they're eating dirt and living in shacks. We had it damn good in the late 90's, probably better than we deserved. Certainly good enough that it was most likely unsustainable.

Having grown up at the bottom of the barrel, i know that my kids (assuming I ever find the right woman) are most likely still going to be better off than I was as a kid, even if the average standard of living declines dramatically.

Ugh. Burned my finger taking food out of the oven, so painful >,m,<

Friend is being "too busy" to find an hour or so to discuss looking for a flat this week.
*sigh*
Maybe it's just me with not having any appointments/friends to occupy me, but I simply don't understand.
...
Also sad about the second part.

Edit:
It's just getting better and better.

RedKing and Solibabeh, I think you're very right, but it doesn't have to be that way, I know for a fact, that EU ruins food to keep prices high instead of feeding other places, so we CAN produce huge amounts of food, all that is keeping the world this ugly is the capitalistic free market that we have come to rely on for purely lazy and traditionalistic reasons.

TL:DR The whole world could live as good as we do in Denmark if the whole world was more socialistic and less liberal/conservative.

Feeling mildly depressed today. I think it might be because of my friend's mostly indifferent reaction to the game I'm making... Gotta remind myself that things suck until they're good, so to really impress anyone I have a lot of work ahead of me...

Sigh.

I think my biggest complaint about people is how much they complain. Which is just the dumb ass meta shit I can't stand and I hate myself for it.

I'm going on a journey.  I don't know when I'll be back.

Maybe tomorrow, and maybe never.  I don't mean to say I'm abandoning my friends.  I mean that I don't know when I'll feel that I've arrived enough to be here.  I need to spend some time alone in the desert.

[Astral]

The idiots I work with (but not for much longer) at my workplace. Also, people who stay an hour after we close because we have free WiFi.

Vector's avatar isn't a food anymore!
But it look neat when not avatar-sized, and kinda fits that post.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Vector, I would seriously advise against going out into the desert alone.

Vector, I would seriously advise against going out into the desert alone.

It's a metaphor.

I hope.

I take any statement of purposely going out into a hostile environment that people regularly die in seriously.

[Vector]

Very well, I'll put it this way: I won't be here talking for a while, because I need time to think and gather.  I don't know what will happen after that, but it's not particularly important.

"Going out into the desert" was, indeed, both a metaphor or a reference.  If you prefer, I'll say that I'm going to sit here under this fig tree for a while, or go into this little copse of trees and clear my mind.

[Bauglir]

May it be productive thought. I hope to see you again, when you've accomplished what you've set out to.
