I hate that whole concept even though I hear it all over the place: getting married, having kids, and 'slowing down'.
Negative. That's the time to hit the gas and accelerate. That's a major level-up in the game, an accomplishment achieved.
NOW life becomes all about really working even harder to leave this family a true legacy.
The most successful people I've known in life worked this way. Work hard, obtain wealth, achieve all your set goals, great, reaching this level unlocks all these new more ambitious possibilities so then they double down on their efforts.
Establishing a family should not be a peak, it should be a FOUNDATION, a START to your success, not the destination.
This concept is also why I've come to not understand the concept of 'retirement'. You mean I just spent my entire life mastering a skill or set of skills, and after 30 years or so, just when you have the most knowledge and experience ever, you stop, take all that with you, and go sit and sip tea and play golf or something? I can see not wanting to WORK anymore in your latter years, but I strongly feel if you're someone that's done something for decades you have an obligation to mentor those behind you. If anything reducing the learning curve is vital to society as a whole. Why allow others to make the same mistakes you made and got past, that's wasted effort everyone pays for. It's like they talked about in the AI discussion with Carmack a week ago: AI has the advantage that once it learns a skill, it's learned forever. The new version of the software doesn't need to be taught how to do something by a teacher or mentor it's first day on the job, it comes preloaded with that knowledge from when the first AI learned it, and so on. It doesn't need the 10,000 hours to become a master, it already has access and knowledge of the experience of every other version that's ever done it, and can leverage that to be even better than before right out of the box.

What's even worse than that video is BEING the bear in that situation. Let me explain: Several years ago I helped track down a deer on my property that was gut shot by a young inexperienced hunter. It happens. No Judgement. But thanks to the conservation laws of our great state, only certain people can be armed during such a search for a wounded animal, so I'm the unarmed sap who finds this poor creature, a full grown whitetail, I think it was like a small 8-pointer, and it was so weak and exhausted that I could hold it down on the ground from running away while I'm calling to get someone to finish it off. It took about 10 minutes for a gun to get there.
Meanwhile, for that whole time, I'm sitting here holding this deer down, that's as frantic and terrified as it can manage to be near death, and the whole time it's making that same noise as the deer in that video, and looking at me.
This experience taught me three lessons:
1. I'll personally never take a questionable shot at such an animal.
2. I never leave the house without a KNIFE after that.
3. Our state laws regarding hunting do not apply to a sidearm carried for personal protection, especially on your own property, so I'll always have a pistol for such events.

1:How much notice would you get about going to past time travel prison, and
2: am I allowed to get tattoos while I'm awaiting sentencing?
Because with like a few months or years notice, like some appeals delays, a good tattoo artist, and the internet, id go back in time PREPARED.
Fuck, I'm in the Year 1280, good thing I have this full body Yakuza-style tattoo bodysuit that spells out a thousand years worth of scientific advancement.
Formulae, equations, astronomy timings, all that could be tattooed on easily, I have nerd friends who've done it lol.

This makes me happy to hear, as I'm on the other side of that. At 37 I'm the youngest in my department. I operate a water treatment plant for a municipality.
I grew up in that generation where I was driven to do work and impress my bosses and supervisors, I wanted to do all the worst jobs, go in the worst spots and holes, get dirty, hurt, wore out doing the shit they did their entire career, because I know they've done it themselves. And now, with the imminent retirement of my mentor at 65, after 5 years doing the job, I'm set to take over supervising operations. And I'll expect anyone behind me to do the same level of work and effort.

This is why I'm so happy I landed in my career: Drinking water treatment. A field that is not only impossible to automate, BUT which also spends tens of billions per year TRYING to automate. The equipment market for just water treatment is insane, and the entire industry has virtually limitless growth, because every human needs drinking water, and we're getting more humans all the time, in more places, and innovation is happening every day.
Water Treatment operators are in extreme demand as it is, and as the older experienced generation retires that need will explode, along with wages.
Thirdly, it's a vital skill for human survival. If the apocalypse was happening and there was an Ark that only a small percentage of people could fit on, you damn well need some water treatment experts, and some wastewater treatment experts, because without water or the ability to treat sewage in a sanitary manner, good luck surviving. No matter how many geniuses, doctors, or engineers you put on your survivor list, they lack the specialized knowledge and experience. I've had the engineer that actually designed and built my water plant say that to me, that he knows how to design the buildings and all that, but he's not a trained operator, that's not his job.

Everyone you named ARE the reaction to hordes of insane black-clad weirdo larpers nearly beating people to death on the streets.
I was a Tea Party protester for 8 whole years, and not once did I ever fear violence from anyone except from the fascist Authoritarian Obama-cops.
During that time we created a political movement that caused the biggest House of Representatives 'flip' in Us history.
What has Antifa accomplished? How many candidates have they groomed and elected? How much money have they raised? I've yet to see a representative of theirs on a tv news show, nor heard anything about their lobbying efforts.
If they're not working toward some sort of actual change through actual political means that go somewhere, then what are they DOING? The LARPing needs a larger purpose. Otherwise it really is just role-playing.
If you have some guy who's probably an asshole standing on a street somewhere spouting some BS about not liking gays or black people, or some fringe view, REASONABLE people are going to see that and say geez, what an asshole...but then some black-clad masked weirdo with pink hair jumps out of a passing group and bashes this guy with a bike lock or a baton, no one is going to side with that. They might FEAR it, but they certainly won't support it. Notice that the civil rights era protesters avoided violence at all costs, to prevent that image of being violent and losing the ability to get their message out, and they WON. Those using violence to try to stop them LOST.

When my mother passed away, on social security, it took months to get the death certificate finalized, because COVID and she did not have COVID, the hospital wanted COVID on the DC so they'd get that MONEY, and her Dr said F that, it's a lie, I won't sign that.
Meanwhile...
Social security clawed back the remaining portion of that months payment from her bank account in 3 business days. She died April 8th, by the 12th they withdrew the 'overpayment' for the 23 days of April she was no longer alive.
My father, her late husband, is on VA service-connected disability, and the DAY she died, he got a notification he was no longer married and they had reduced his monthly payment, and they clawed back the adjusted amount for the rest of that April automatically.
So they can't tell ME they don't have laser-fing-focued control over this financial payment system, try a different lie.
If someone is getting money they MEAN them to.

John Stewart had an interview about this with a DOD rep, they said they can show you exactly where every penny went, it's all entirely accounted for...the problem is where it went is ineffective, but they can show you all the wasted shit it went to, so therefore it's all good. She actually said this. They'll pass an audit, look, see, here's the receipt, $12 billion for submarines, went to submarine people for submarine things, wether it DID anything or was used properly was irrelevant to her.
Basically if Congress voted to literally burn a billion dollars in cash, a department would say the money was spent properly and pass that audit because here's the manifest from the Treasury for the billion cash, plus shipping and handling, here's the receipt for the gasoline and matches, and here's the signed work order in triplicate of the workers who lit it, totally passed audit, properly spent billion dollars. Wether it's spent WELL seems irrelevant to them.

Here's another personal example: I'm great friends with my work supervisor outside of work. We do charity events together, I've gone on vacation with him and his family, and we're like 5th cousins or something. He's known my family since his dad was a kid.
You'd think that would mean I get to skate on anything I do wrong, right? WRONG. WRONG.
The fact I know my boss so well means MORE is expected of me, that he knows I know what I should and should not be doing, and if I was to grievously fuck up at work, it wouldn't just be a "Oh, this bad employee screwed up", it would be more like "Why are you disappointing me like this, I expected more from you, I know you can do better".
Also makes it hard to skip out for a sick day if I'm not actually sick, because I have to avoid anywhere I might be spotted lol. Not that I get days off.
It's far easier to care a lot less about a job when you work for a stranger. I also put more into this job because I work for someone I know and respect. It's hard to have that "I can't let them down" attitude for a stranger, and I'd bet that drive is even stronger when it's a job with your own last name in it.

Bruh, I lived in St Louis for 10 years when it had a murder rate higher than any city in Iraq or Afghanistan. Hundreds of murders and it wasn't even noticeable in day to day life. But those people still died and we still had the 'top most dangerous cities on earth' label, until we got jacked and Chicago stole that title.
More Americans have died in those two cities during the time period of the Iraq/Afghanistan war than our soldiers in that entire war. If you look at the entire Southern border as a whole there are more murders per YEAR than all of our combined casualties in your longest war in history, nearly 2 decades.
Statistically, Iraq and Afghanistan, for Americans, are safer than large parts of the US.
I've never been to a 3rd world country either, and you can fuck right the fuck off with what that has to do with anything.
Oh wait, I take that back, I live next to Illinois, so yes, I'm quite familiar with 3rd world/Communist nations.

Yeah, try using your natural weapons like other animals when a grown man has a 9mm in your face, getting twitchy because you're not removing your watch shoes belt phone wallet fast enough.
Make no mistake, we are animals no different than any in nature, and we hunt each other by the hundreds of millions, and your natural weapons, of which we have zero aside from our wits, are not the best choice.
The sole difference between a human predator and human prey is technology. TOOL USE elevates us. You decline to use tools, you're just prey, and the real irony is it's not even the predator's fault, because you possess the intellect to know you've willingly disarmed yourself. You've victimized yourself. You haven't put your own life on the line, you've forfeited the game at the start. This honor you speak of only comes through survival. The winner is the only one with honor, in objective reality, and whatever it takes to win is honorable.

No, you just redefined racism. Racism is just that, prejudice solely based on race. ANY race.
We will always have racism. Know why? Because it's a HUMAN problem, not the issue of any individual race or ethnicity. Ending racism is like trying to end murder or prostitution: we've been doing it since day one, we'll be selling sex and killing each other right up until our extinction day, and that's regardless of all external factors. The moment you refuse to think you're capable of horrible things is the moment horrible things become capable of happening. Every individual has the whole of human evil inside them, and it's the responsibility of every INDIVIDUAL not to act on it. Most don't. But anyone can, and will.
Every time you see some horrible act occur or a horrific news story play out or someone perpetrate some heinous act, you feel it in your soul, in your very being disgusted and sad that happened, and you feel fear. Fear not just of that terrible thing happening to you or those you care about, but a part of you, whether you realize it consciously or not, realizes with a start that YOU are no better or worse than them, that YOU are capable of doing that. You cannot be a good person without realizing how bad all people can be.

I like Fox's point that we seem to be in a place where we've gone too far. There absolutely is a 'line', a zone we should try to be in of just common decency, where you're considerate of other people and what they have going on, and they do the same for you, whether that be about appearance, gender, orientation, race, culture, ethnicity, all of that. The problem is we left that line and zone of common decency way back there and we're about 25 miles inside the border of insanity over this stuff. A place where you literally cannot tell a joke, even a universally funny line, without risking offense and some 'movement' trying to literally kill you and destroy your life. For example, if someone weighs 400lb and we tell them they need to get healthier, we're not 'fat shaming' you, we're desperately trying to help you live as a fellow human! Unless we start being real with people, we'll never really change or help anyone.

BUT if not for the picture and bragging rights, then what? It's truly disrespect for the animal, it's life, and your being privileged to have taken it to not celebrate and just unceremoniously butcher the carcass.
You remove value from it's sacrifice. You'd WASTE it. If you take no trophy from a trophy hunt, then it's just needless killing.
Instead of hey, look at my photos from Africa, look at this magnificent giraffe I was fortunate enough to harvest, he's such an impressive animal, here's 20 photos, look how great a specimen he was.....but doing it your way yields "Yeah, there was this old busted giraffe we iced, no big deal. Naw, we didn't take any photos, it wasn't worth remembering or showing off. Just a dead dog like chefawkes says, basically worthless. We gutted it and gave it away"

Nah, you have it wrong: Someone dresses up as Antifa and guns down a group of peaceful counter-protesters, or a news crew, or something like that. That's how a false flag works, you pretend your are your enemy force and attack your own forces, now the public is backing you and justifying your response against such an attack. The term comes from naval history when ships would attack others flying a flag other than their own, say a British ship flying a Dutch flag attacks some Spaniards, and when done right they go on to blame the Dutch for the attack.
Godwin's Law GO! Hitler did just this with the Reichstag fire. They burned down their own parliament building and blamed it on their enemies, which caused the entire nation to come together as one (trauma bonding) against said enemies, which at that time were the Communists, and drove them out...and in praise of the man who led that charge to remove them, Hitler, he was 'elected' Chancellor. The unfortunate Communists they framed were executed.
It's a well-studied horrific formula that works shockingly well.
