I love watching Lets Plays and HCBailly is the best let's player. His quality has only gone up over the years and his consistent upload schedule leaves nothing to be desired. He's under rated and deserves 3 million subs.

Sonic the Hedgehog fanboy over here. However I don't follow the fandom. Those guys are animals.

There's an idle game called "smashing simulator idol" and in it, all you do is break pots and pans that fall from the sky by tapping/clicking on them. It's simple and extremely addictive.

I learned something today. Thank you for making me less ignorant.

I appreciate the concern, but my problem is more on my ability to concentrate on what's in front of me. I'll be walking around or climbing up stairs while my brain is in la la land thinking about something else. That's normally how I end up clutzing out.

The logic in your post is sound though, I never did think about my core.

But I do work out and I do core workouts alongside arm day and leg day. If anything my core is the thing I'm strongest in.

You're probably right. But I bet the doctor knows the difference. I guess we'll never know.

I'm glad you feel that way. And I'm happy you make a decent living. You're living the life I want to live. If I had the money to support my family that way, I would. But I don't have that kind of money. And I STILL feel that I am not obligated to any of my parents money. My parents did more than give me money, my parents taught me how to wipe my but, pay a bill, and have a good work ethic. And I believe I will never make an income of 90k. Not for lack of effort, but because I like the job I have, despite it not (nor will it ever) pay well.

But that's just the way the world works. Some people get better jobs and save it for themselves, and some people save it for their family. I wish everyone could live the latter life, but that's just not a sane way of thinking.

I won't ask my parents for money, just like I would never ask you for a hand out. I will earn my way in life, and if that means I'll never make enough to live comfortably, then I guess that's the hand I've been delt. But not matter what happens, I'll always be proud to tell everyone: hey, I live on my own. Hey, I bought that car with my own money. No my parents didn't give me any of it.

Maybe I'm just too conceited to ask for money, but I want to live my life the way I want, and that's by earning everything I have. On my own. With my own efforts. And if you think that's a horrible way of living, then maybe I am wrong for thinking that way. Maybe I should tell my parents I deserve their money. But I won't, and probably never will, and I believe wholeheartedly that my way of thinking is the right way.

Sorry you're going through that bud. To us that have few or no friends, the holidays can be a very depressing time of the year. But, in time, if you put in the effort, you can make friends or at the very least, make the most of what you have.

Hopefully this doesn't sound too conceited, but I truly hope you find happiness my friend.

You know, it makes me wonder how that works. Because most of the time, they get the prescription right, even though, for the most part, we only guess which one feels right to us, even though, to us, one and two look practically the same.

And yet, you're still here. Your still alive. If you're not living off your parents income and yet believe your obligated to some of that money, you're part of the problem. Where do you think that money comes from?

The only thing your proving to me right now is that you don't want to put in the effort to make more money.

And just an FYI: there are people in our generation that DO make a decent living, working good paying jobs, and NOT living off thier parents money. And do you know what they're doing right now? I'll tell you what, they're NOT bitching about wanting their parents money, because they have the skills necessary to get it themselves.

You tell me congratulations on living in low income? It wasn't that hard, a simple Google search is all it takes to find out where the low income housing is. And although I DO live in low income housing, I pay full price for it, because I make too much money. Let me reiterate that: $18 an hour is too much money to qualify for low income housing. But, my apartment is a studio that is about 35x35 sqf. You're damn right it's cheap, because I don't need a 4 bedroom 3 bath house to get by. I get by just fine living with my cat. I put my money into my 401K just like my parents did, and guess what? It worked out for them, and they lived during the Great Recession. They lived a life just as hard as yours.

Look, I'm not saying there aren't greedy, shity parents out there who don't give a damn about their childrens future. They obviously exist.

But blaming an entire generation(s) on the problems of ours is not going to fix said problems. They aren't going to give us the money, no matter how much we beg, just like their parents didn't do for them. The only thing we can do is stop looking at the past, and focus on the future.

I know it looks bleak and the grass is always greener on the other side, but the world is not going to end because our parents decided to splurge on themselves. There are 3rd world countries out there that make even less than any of us do, and they're surviving. What right do you have to ask someone else for money if you aren't willing to earn it yourself?

I had a Furby. It used to talk to me from my closet while I slept... Does that count?

If your serious, Straight Talk has flip phones that work on Verizon networks. I saw one at Walmart just the other day.
