People care. When on interview committees I've had to argue that gaps aren't relevant. Maybe it's someone with the ability to plan and save and they decided to take a year or ten off. Maybe their independently wealthy and is doing it for fun. They probably lost a job at a bad time, couldn't get hired for 8 months and then got fucked by a gap in their resume for another 18. Some of these gaps are even old. Like what do we care about three months fifteen years ago. Even if that's a job they got fired from right away it's olllld.

The fact that only a small percentage was released and that that small percentage was heinous makes people wonder why that percentage was released, but not the rest.

My 6 year old big sister convinced my mother that my father lighting up in the house on the way outside to smoke was not okay and then convinced my father that smoking was bad enough to quit, even if it really was only every one or two pipes a week

Online anonymity also let's people forget that the people they're being assholes too have real feelings. It's not just retaliation that stops them. Most of us really don't want to hurt someone, but some need a reminder that online folks are just as real.

The people I know personally who act like it's so terrible to be helping someone else have all received significant assistance from the government and their communities.

Please accept the assistance. That's what you need.

I don't care if it's forever. Everyone deserves to eat and a place to sleep and everyone deserves to know that they will still have food and a safe place to sleep later. Just don't try to keep it from others once you're back on your feet.

As far as I can tell they're set for marketing reasons, but they actually represent meaningful epochs and how those events effected people in different stages of life.

World war, depression, postwar expansion, civil rights, cold war, internet, smartphone.

Making them all fifteen or twenty-five years doesn't make sense.

I'm hopeful that we're in the midst of a right wing extinction burst that will be over in 5-10 years. They will get to participate in the rebuilding that follows.

I'm fearful that we're seeing the launch of a new dynasty.
