People started having kids at later age. My parents were 36 and 37 when I was born, so here I am, mildly autistic.

On top of that, I’d never have known if I didn’t go to a psychologist and ask my doctor.

My dad likely is autistic too. Just never went to a psychologist in his life. (He’s the last child of 6 kids, so his parents were likely old at that stage too)

If it’s not causing serious impairment, people won’t seek information about it. There’s a ton of people with neurodivergency that live perfectly fine lives.

It’s the overactive amygdala that caused me the most impairment anyways, not autism. Luckily, that can be helped with a simple medicine.

I don’t see the problem if we’re still able to increase the output ☺️

The food supply has been greatly increased in the latest 2 decades. Primary crops grew by 56% between 2000 and 2022

As long as you take care of your own pension then it’s all fine. Do whatever you want.

Being productive

I don’t deny climate change, I just accept it temporarily until world is developed enough to go emission neutral

Having a job isn’t being exploited

Stay economically illiterate

They choose a booming economy and development over ecology. Just like we did in Europe in the 1800s

Go tell them to stop developing their economy because we want everyone to be emission neutral. While we are developed enough to achieve that already.

You really like keeping people poor

I’m just not going to work for their pension and I will not have my kid work for their pension

My wife has been an indonesian all her life and her family does pretty well. She and her sisters have university degrees. Her sisters both are married, have 2 or 1 kid.

It’s all pretty fine. Labour is very cheap but so is the cost of living. They barely have any old people and a high labour force. Their economy has been booming.

Maybe you should go there

Shoulda just killed him to be honest, but oh well

Your husband could try and get a job in Europe. Here in flanders there’s quite a lot of walkability. They are creating bike lanes. I’m lucky that I can bike to work 15 km without interacting much with cars.

I could suggest Indonesia, for 100k euros you have a nice apartment with access to a gym and swimming pool. But I don’t know about the needs of your child. They don’t really speak English there either, but Bahasa is pretty easy to learn.

Personally I’d go to Batam, Indonesia. Right under Singapore. Live in the center.

For walkability it’s bad there kinda. And hot. Be careful of things like construction work. Can’t really know if it’s all safe.

Bought my wife a home bike so that she could do some cardio while I worked. It’s good for the winter, it gets pretty cold here for her. She’s used to Indonesia and in Belgium it gets to 0 to minus 10 degrees in the winter months.

It’s a good option because you can read something while doing that. Basically you can be on the internet.

When you’re more fit, I’d suggest rope skipping. However it can be hard on the joints. It’s very good cardio though. Boxers do it all the time.

You also can buy some kettlebells. I have one of 16 and 20 kg at home, it takes no space at all. I use them for shoulder raises. They can be used for swings which is great cardio.

You can do bodyweight squats. I do 5 sets of 50 on a Sunday when I’m “too lazy” to fix up the weight for deadlift.

In all these years of working out, I quickly made the investment to have a home gym. Not because it’s cheaper in the long term, but because it’s far easier to actually do the workout.

The most difficult part about working out at a gym is getting to the gym. It feels like a drag. Sure, once at the gym it’s all great, but getting there the next time is once again a drag.

About food I don’t know shit though. I consume a lot of calories. Me working out and stuff like that is what I call damage control. I’m a stereotypical Belgian. I eat a lot of fries with mayo and drink strong beer.

Working out, and likely food, is all about mental stuff. Truly it’s half the battle. Need to figure out how to do a routine and keep to it. Like right now I’m going to do barbell rows because it’s Thursday. I don’t even view it as an option, it’s just what my Thursday looks like.

Good luck, getting back into shape is always difficult. But you know that after 2 months you’ll have a lot of energy. Then the trick is to keep working out just to keep that amount of energy.

They’ll sell to Europe don’t ya worry

You’re unemployed

👍🏻

Being told that it was a mistake just means that you need to fire whoever told you that.

They bombed it twice
