  • I think my problem is I can’t really practice smalltalk. My work environment makes it impossible for people to casually talk even when not much is going on. I go out a lot and do a bit of volunteer work every now and then, but there’s not really anyone to talk to during those times other than maybe people MUCH younger than me (like around 10 years younger) and I feel even more uncomfortable talking to them since I don’t want to seem like a creep or that older guy trying to be cool with the kids.
















  • A rent freeze is decent, but what would really help is everywhere to implement caps on how much you’re allowed to charge for rent and utilities. Without those, then they’ll just raise prices by however much the freeze cost them. UBI will also be ineffective without it cause they’ll just raise prices by however much the UBI is.


  • A lot of people tend to want to study things they’re interested in, even if it doesn’t lead to a high paying job. You said yourself she was interested in English literature so that’s why she went with that as her major. It’s also a lot easier to learn and study something you actually care about than something you find boring or are just doing it to get paid. Like if I went to college, I’d find film studies classes or possibly some math ones way more for me cause I like that stuff, but if you tried to force me to take classes to become a doctor, lawyer, or trade school I’d flunk out hard and/or struggle to even get a passing grade.
