It is common to develop a drug or alcohol addiction as part of a coping mechanism. That can absolutely make your life more difficult. Coping mechanisms can make it more difficult to make changes that will better your life.

The path of least resistance isn't always the easiest path.

It is easy, if you can get a mortgage.

I currently pay less than $2k a month on my mortgage. A 1 bedroom apartment near me is about $1.8-2.5k and a 2 bedroom is $2.5-3.5k a month. People aren't lazy and not buying houses because it's so fun to live in an apartment, they are doing it because they can't get a loan.

The only difficult thing about buying a house is the hours of paperwork and surprise costs that make no sense.

I may have missed some steps but I recall reddit removing and replacing mods of many subs.

It doesn't matter, because the damage is done. Small communities aren't what they used to be and the big subreddits are even lower quality.

I think strawberry pop tarts have less frosting than all other flavors.

It's petty and small, but every time I have a strawberry pop tart the frosting is so thin that the holes on the top are clear through the frosting. No other flavor has this problem. I don't think it matters, but it feels like a conspiracy.

People don't like cars, people like freedom and convenience. The US is designed around cars, and it's not impossible to live without a car, but very close. Your argument is like saying people like health insurance, that's why they keep buying it. The issue is that there isn't a different choice.

Jeffrey Combs is the result of those aliens from "the Chase".

I'm bugged by decontamination gel.

Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn't Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What's in it?

I'm not a Nazi, but I know all of the details of their policies.

I mean, I heard about Nazis, and while I don't agree with the ethnic cleansing, I just had to know what their tax policies looked like.

I haven't used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint's auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.

I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn't there.

I'm with you.

Look at the bajorans. They are shown as sympathetic in the show, but are backwards and superstitious. Time and time again there are olive branches offered to the bajoran people but they responded with terrorism and violence. Sure, the occupation wasn't perfect, but Gul Dukat tried to make it better. He saved so many lives and there are no statues of Gul Dukat on Bajor. He should have killed them all.
