I guess you're only young once, but there are two eyeballs.
Eyeball tattooing, of of the silliest things to do to your body that I've heard of.

A few one eyed people around here grasshopper !

Wasn't sure where to put this video so Random Thoughts got the guernsey.
The 3 minutes video shows how the Innuit crawl under the sea ice to get mussels for a feed - while the tide is out.
If that sounds dodgy - wait till you watch the clip. Very sobering stuff
When the tide is out under the ice....

One of the characteristics of an OK life seems to me to be the sense of being in control of that life.
Recently I've found it sad to observe the diminution of an elderly woman who has been deemed unfit to live alone and bundled off into a nursing home, despite her vehement protestations.
She has the financial resources to pay for care at home but, because she has no one to advocate for her, her wishes are being completely ignored and she is helpless to fight the system.
I know this happens frequently. It's the first time, however, that I've ever witnessed the extraordinary distress this woman is experiencing because her autonomy has been removed from her.
Perhaps not quite a random thought, but I'd be interested in how much others value their sense of personal control. Probably not something one thinks about too much when young, as invincibility and a sense of an infinite future are dominant.
It is Christmas Eve, almost Christmas Day, so I don't wish to cause upset but I think it needs to be said.
It is not my role to police this forum, I am not the owner or a moderator, but the extent to which this thread has morphed into some sort of personal crusade to be "proven right" and reacting aggressively toward alternative views is annoying at best and that is putting it politely.
If two others want to argue who was right then that's fine with me. It distracts from the point of the thread but it doesn't really bother me.You don't enjoy the "theatre" of it all Smurf?
This is also on the Change My View Reddit site.

Absolutely, we have told the next generation you can have what you want, you just have to ask.Yea true. Maybe I should've just left APT carry on with their attempt at screwing the cash-strapped millennial with "free money", not realising they're the one who's getting it.
But yea, the founders and early investors have certainly done very well for themselves. Soon enough more idiotic fund managers will hop on board and possibly lose their pensioners a few billions.
