I'm going to play the law of averages and assume they mean the Falkland Islands.

Peer pressure.

No, I'm dead serious. I believe an exposed pie would survive on the ground long enough for a whole bush to grow around it and then subsequently be eaten by a dog. I am in no way being humorous.

Maybe the pie was there first and the bush grew around it.

The big three.

I went to Folsom Street Fair many moons ago, and had the epiphany "I am absolutely not man enough to fuck these dudes." I don't know how the stereo type of manly men only fucking women is supportable. It's like saying "real men drink french vanilla iced coffee slushies", meanwhile the "weak" men are drinking straight up espresso.

I honestly thought this was about to be another orb post from the thumbnail.

Which I've been saying into the void for a while. Ideally in capitalism demand drives supply. If their demand is lack luster (for people upgrading to premium), rather than trying to cajole people through force into buying their product, they should drop the fucking price. Instead, they want to keep it bundled with music, and thus make it prohibitively expensive, while simultaneously competing in two seperate markets simultaneously. Give the people a video only tier, at a truly reasonable price, and begin (read: continue) to rake in cash. It's very frustrating.

Why would you not name the company? If they won't protect you, you are not obligated to protect them.

Funny meme. Anyone know what this is actually a picture of?

I'll try to cheer you up a little:

Owning a house: to an extent traps you in a physical location. Your job pool is smaller, and everyone you like who doesn't own a home eventually moves away. As a bonus, the longer that pattern goes on, the older you get, and the more difficult to replace the departed becomes.

No kids: You seem pretty upset about global warming and the economy. Not having children has to be one of the single most impactful environmental choices you can make. I don't have figures but your carbon footprint has to be a fraction of anyone with kids. Also, if systematic collapse is as inevitable and imminent as you suspect, it's a good thing you don't have any kid(s) for to be exploited by Tina Turner into fighting to the death in a big iron cage.
