Fun fact, there is a church in the Twin Cities that does mass accompanied by polka music.

(This is a different church, but gets the sensation across.)


Fun Fact: Somehow she ended up featuring on a Duran Duran track.

Not one of their better tracks for the underwhelming Paper Gods album*, but that literally the only thing I how about her and music.

*Bit of a shame given their previous album, All You Need Is Now was easily their second best album since Rio.

Well, Lohan was extremely successful and popular for a short time before her misbehavior burned her career to the ground.

My company prolong the work-from home till 12 April. I announce the employee, and tell them, as they have a high-expectation toward this company, we also have an equally high-expectation toward them, we should help each other. They respond pretty much emotionally, there 100+ message, sending encouragement, telling me that we can do it together, or we are going to give our best for the company, I really surprise with the reaction. Actually at this moment, we really have a self realization that we need each other. It's strengthen our bond and our pack. I can't read all of it, but I feel grateful that behind all of this darkness there is something to smile for.

I really find an interesting conclusion. So many respected people that I know, either respected in the society; an important leader in the community; who got really excel in things that they do, many of them raised spoiled children that is far apart from their parent example. This is remind me of Khaldunian of ascension then decadence of generation. from pioneer, to the peak then born from there a spoil generation who just sucking off their parent hard-work. But the theory suppose to be represent generation, while it's a direct peak then pit. I think luxury and less time to nurture and discipline results in decadency.

It's important to remember that what you see in public isn't what happens in private. Someone who excels in a public-facing role likely dedicates their life towards that role... meaning they're neglecting their home life. An absent parent is a bad parent regardless of the kind of work they're doing elsewhere.

(And also, simply being a good person doesn't guarantee good parenting. If you never bother teaching your children, they simply won't learn. There's some absorbing that gets done, monkey see monkey do, after all, but instilling good behaviours and habits requires active nurture.)

But I'm not sure I agree that it's luxury specifically that breeds a bad upbringing. You see the same effect in people who have nothing. It's just far more public when it's the affluent.

The children of wealthy or powerful people are likely to be raised to a very large extent by employees of their parents, rather than by the parents themselves. No matter how virtuous or well-intentioned the parent, if a child is raised primarily by people who relate to them as subordinates, as salaried employees, they will inevitably struggle to relate to others in a healthy way as adults.

I agree with these two factor. I agree to wealth not as an intrinsic factor, but as a bad apparatus for parenting when it is not handled right. Like you said Syns the absent of parenting and nurture results the needs of parent to somewhat balanced their absent, they are consciously feeling guilty, but they balanced their absent of parenting by serving their children with their wealth. Most wealthy powerful children who got spoiled by their parent wealth that I know, they just cannot drop down their life standard when things going down, they still need that level of vacation or that level of vehicle or that level of living cost when they should drop that level couples level down below but they just cannot do it, so their parent bleed for that, the children becomes socially, and competitively, crippled being, unable to sympathy and adapt. Wealth is like a crack, once you are into that dosage, you cannot easily decreased it, it becomes your new standard, and below that are your suffering, and when things going down their willingness to suffer, and to decrease that dosage is an essential basic social skill that they need to have.

From a previous Random Thoughts thread:

• "Car crashes through window, into Halifax store"
• "84-year-old woman crashes car into Shoppers Drug Mart in Truro"
• "Truck crashes into New Glasgow Shoppers Drug Mart"
• "Car, horse crash through store windows in separate Nova Scotia incidents"
• "Car crashes through Fabricville store window in Cole Harbour, N.S."
• "Car crashes into small-town Nova Scotia store, misses dozens of customers"

Something tells me that Nova Scotians aren't great drivers.

Couple more to add to the list:

• "Man crashes into gate at Point Pleasant Park, leaves scene: police"
  
• "Car smashes through front of BMO branch in Halifax"

Maybe having a penchant for destruction is just a Nova Scotia thing.

I gave myself a haircut today. Let's just say that I'm really liking the "electrocuted punk-rocker scarecrow" look.

Photos?

My hand is too shaky today to get a good picture (which probably explains the haircut too)

A much better look than "drowned soft-jazz mannequin"!

Well, that settles it. You must never, ever attach wheels to your microwave.
