Why are you so focused on the NYC high-end high school segment? It is utterly unrelatable to 95% of all students and conservatively 85% of users here.

Being surrounded by adults all the time is only a problem if you never spend time around actual peers. Nobody should be forced to isolate themselves like that.

Yes. It is a brutal existence. Social isolation can continue long past when you would expect it to end, after graduation from high school or college, because of the exploitive behaviors of employers and the self-exploitive nature of someone who only finds solace in work.

What is the solution? I will not spoil it for you, but it does not involve giving up.

Don't forget the AC terminal strips that power the whole thing, sourced from the local dollar store.

Love how you’ve fuzzed the root cause to make it seem like the “dollar store strip” is the problem and not that it was plugged into an overloaded outlet or run inside a closet at significantly elevated temperatures, leading to plastic melting and wires shorting.

Always helps to keep the “magic” a secret so the rubes have to keep us wizards employed, right?

But it’s so easy to portray doctors as money-hungry child predators! After all, doesn’t Beautiful Perfect American Capitalism encourage individuals to participate in the market, if not live their lives, as ruthless profit-seekers?

Aren’t politically and socially conservative, evangelical-proximal, moderately wealthy Tucker-Carlson-consuming Americans constantly re-trained into that frame of mind?

Is it so surprising that people see what they want to see, or expect to see, or have been taught to see, in everything around them?

“Many people” being substantially in the minority, like 1-5% of an already microscopic population. Non-surgical puberty blockers are completely reversible and do not sterilize. Please don’t spread irrelevant, hateful flamewar bait and FUD in random threads as a way to Cunningham yourself out of ignorance.

It’s exactly what happens when someone who’s experienced the “biweekly paycheck lifestyle” hits it big on a non-salaried income source and expects the music to keep going forever.

YouTube videos that hit ~1M views famously rarely keep up the pace beyond a week or a month. Hard to find data, but what I’ve heard is that after a year or two, looking back, most popular videos get 75-85% of their views in their first month after release.

Unless you have a contract to be regularly paid $X, or constantly put out new and engaging content, you really can’t get mad when your income peaks and then nosedives.
