  • When I tell people I don’t want kids, the most common responses are: Won’t you be lonely? Who will take care of you when you are old?

    It seems like to me that a lot of people are having kids just so that somebody can take care of them when they are old. People like that are not very good parents in my experience. And so, even when they are old, their kids barely speak to them and don’t take care for them, because they didn’t take care of their kids.

    I feel like I wouldn’t be a very good parent. I value my free time too much and freedom to go whenever and wherever I want.

    I use Steam Chat for playing games with family and friends. It has better audio quality than discord in my opinion, and you can make groups (something like Discord servers) too. It doesn’t have all the functionality of servers, but the basic idea is there.

    I am actually surprised nobody mentioned it yet Why use some third party application, when you can use the Steam’s one.

    It’s not like the OP is concerned about privacy. They were using discord. They didn’t say it has to be open source.

    For talking outside of gaming or away from PC, I use signal.














  • You probably don’t know answer for this, but here I go… Why is she going to college? It looks like her parents don’t really care what she’s doing. She is not doing well there. She probably doesn’t care. She is not the heir or even a backup. So she could be doing anything else. Is it just something to do, socialize or something like that? She doesn’t need college to find a job or anything. Like you said she has infinite money. If she was interested in the subjects and tried to succeed there, I could see that. But from your words, it looks like she doesn’t.

    Are you with her during the lectures? And do you…take notes for her?
