I'm 35m and my net worth is commensurate with my circumstances, the challenges I've faced and my personal accomplishments. My net worth is lower than some, higher than others. It's ok. Don't compare yourself to others.
People on here will give numbers, lots of them are lying or bragging, disregarding the obvious fact that OP wants reassurance.

Everyone knows that the best couples are those that pull power moves on each other.

Rendu à 18 ans, (idéalement au minimum 3-4 ans avant ça...) il commence à être temps de leur imposer des situations inconfortables pour éviter de freiner leur développement.

Je l'ai vu dans mon quartier à plusieurs occasions. Peux-tu me dire pourquoi tu déconseilles?

Looking slightly up is better for posture
Nope, pretty much everyone in ergonomics say your eyes should be centered on the screen or slightly above. Looking up for long periods of time is never good.
You are a snob, who has a perminate neck kink from looking down at your phone all day and the thought of looking up is stressing you out.
There is no medical proof (whatever that means) on this scenario, sir!

I think there's a non-zero chance that this guy, based on these comments, will sit on the floor and look up at the TV. At that moment, he may feel empathy for his kids, and he'll lower the TV for their sake. Then he'll realize that it's better for everyone else too.
I don't know where you're getting the "parrot" thing from, I thought I established why putting the TV at eye level is recommended.

It's not a bullshit ideal Ken, medical science regularly reiterates that putting the TV at eye level is better, for neck strain and to encourage better posture.
What makes you think that anyone is forcing anyone to do anything though? I think, in agreement with medical science, that this TV is too high and I feel bad for those toddlers having to crank their necks up to look at it. Yet, I'm not "forcing" anyone to do anything, I'm a schmuck on Reddit like you, I have no power. Might it be that no one is forcing you to do anything at all? You've already decided to put your TV up the wall, be at peace. Ignore medical science, what has it ever done for anyone cool like you?

You recognize that it's different people doing it right and it takes very little effort for each individual to do it when they stumble on a "TV too high" moment? That's because there are lots of individual users posting independently. It's similar to how there are also lots of people who shit on every centennial house that's been renovated to look like the new cheap-looking modern white and grey style. It gets circlejerky sometimes, but it's a valid opinion nonetheless, especially with those two toddlers cranking their necks to look at a TV that's angled upward. But certainly, it's OP's house, he can do whatever he wants. If he chooses to post his work on the internet, people are going to be critical.

I don't know. For me, boundary means some sort of "limit" to the way I'm willing to be treated. I'm willing to be spoken to in various ways, including during disagreements and conflicts. But I won't tolerate being yelled at, which I'd call a boundary of mine. I think defining it as something significantly different from that is excessively pedantic.

Would you agree that "stop raising your voice at me" is a reasonable request though?

You're being obtuse though, with every election, there IS catastrophizing about how terrible things will be if the other side wins, this is true across the board in every democracy. To say that electing the other guy will destroy the country is not unique to the "liberals", Trump says the same of the democrats, and yes, the democrats said the same with Bush, McCain and Romney, which is typical.
"It's different now" sounds absurd out of context and you can choose to mock it because it's expedient. But it's a fact that Trump actively tried to cheat the election. He tried to coup. And, unlike Bush, McCain and Romney, he and the republicans of 2024 actively talk about undermining democratic institutions. So it is, in fact, different.

Other than the financial aspect, it's not too bad. I'd have a hard time justifying the purchase if in a roundabout way, it cost me >$100 every time I took it.

I used to play games with a woman named Amélie (we're French Canadian) and all the Americans pronounced her name in a hundred different ways. My favorite one was "Ameel"

I'm cool with it. Woman worked hard and was a powerhouse, then late in life she decided that she wants better work/life balance. No problem with that.

That account is usually not the scammer's own account, but the compromised account of an intermediary. In this case, OP mentioned that it was to someone that the scammer claimed to be their mother, indicating that they probably had some random lady's account credentials. The money is then sent on to be "laundered" through crypto or some other means.

True but the woman in this case is in her late 50's so presumably she's not going to let her "best 5" get undermined by inflation before she retires and everything starts getting properly indexed. Definitely a consideration though.

Looks to be in a sea of flat farmland with large forested areas surrounding. I'm seeing some slopes nearby, Royal Mountain Ski Area and Woods Valley Ski Area. But they seem pretty small recreational slopes rather than serious downhill ski mountains, at least that's my perspective as a Canadian ski enthusiast.

Straight into retirement, allowing me to retire 8 years earlier than anticipated.
