You seem to be a degenerate idiot with a closed and tiny mind incapable of grasping most of what is going on around him. Now that you tell your story, it seems like a very natural progression as to how you have fallen and let yourself get so far behind. Best of luck to you and absolutely no nukes

LOL

No computers, no cell phones, only "Sammy Sparrow" and "Sea Hound" on the radio, and "I Love Lucy in black and white on the tv [if your family could afford a tv].
 
I did well, all things considered.
The farm girl taught me what school didn't. Her father and brother taught me to shoot, avoid snakes, gun safety, and all about life beyond the city.

If the boys had been taught 'survival skills', 'life skills', 'cooking', 'self-reliance' instead of having to study the 'lunacy' of Shakepeare, we would no doubt have left HS with a much better chance of coping with the delights and horrors of the workforce.

I was not alone.
Back in those days only 20% of students attended a university. The rest found jobs in the fed and state govt public services, insurance companies, companies, the DMV etc. Others left at age 15 and became trades apprentices.

 Married women were not allowed to work [in banks, govt offices, local councils etc.]
The man's salary was sufficient to support a wife and family.
Unemployment was very low.
Life was simple.
Married men often worked part-time in pubs, clubs etc to supplement their income.
Homelessness was very rare, and shelters were sufficient in number to provide for those who were homeless/struggling.

There is a YouTube video;

'Christmas in Australia'  ........ From the Film Australia Collection. Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit 1958

I was age 12 then.

It shows exactly what life was like then.

"Euclidean geometry"?
Yikes.
That sounds like one step down from "rocket science".

Euclidean Geometry is the easy part.

For someone who had trouble with isosceles triangles, ...that geometry would've been a step too far.

[FlyingVProd]

Columbus used Euclidean Geometry when he sailed in 1492, and also we used Euclidean Geometry when we sent men to the Moon, etc.

I had a Professor for Euclidean Geometry who was a Magician at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, Professor Thompson, he was great. It was a fun class.

I sent a message to Pope Francis, there is a lot more that the Church can be doing to help Christians.

The Church needs to create more services for Christians so that we can help each other, there needs to be Christian Employment Services where Christians can go to hire other Christians and where Christians can go to find a job. There also needs to be Christian Dating Services where Single Christians can go to find a mate. And there needs to be Christian Real Estate Offices where Christians can go to rent a home from other Christians, and where Christians can go to rent their properties to good Christians, etc. We need more Services for Christians.

Salute,

I had a neighbor who spent his life doing charity work, and he said that the best way to make money is to learn how to profit from the buying and selling of foreign currencies.

The Dude was cool, he used to go out to Lancaster and buy a truck load of watermelons straight from the farmer for cheap and then he passed out the watermelons to my neighborhood for free here in Anaheim.

He retired by making money from buying and selling foreign currencies, and he bought a ranch in Mexico and he went to live in Mexico. He told me to learn how to buy and sell foreign currencies for profit.

Salute,

If it were easy and risk free, everyone would be doing it.

My friend had wealthy friends who taught him how to profit from trading currencies.

I learned a little when I went to France, I got 7 French Francs from every 1 U.S. Dollar, back in 2000, and I lived like a King in Cannes, I had a hotel room with a view of the Mediterranean Sea, I bought wine for everyone at a restaurant at dinner one night, I lived great, the strong U.S. Dollar at the time was really fun in Cannes with the weak French Franc.

Learning how to profit from trading currencies is something his wealthy friends taught him how to do.

RIP Ryan ONeal, who definitely competed with Joan Crawford for the Worst Parent in Showbiz title.  I liked his stint as Tempe's father on Bones.  He seemed to draw from his own personal life when showing Brennan's father reflecting painfully on his parenting and general peccadillos in youth.

That safest large county is Ventura County, where the crime rate in 2022 was recorded as the lowest in its history. San Diego County ranked second, with Orange County rounding out the top three. "This doesn't happen by accident," Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said in a statement. 1 day ago

Anaheim is nice, but we could do more to make it nicer. We need to plant more trees and plants and flowers and we need to improve the public landscaping, and we need to have fountains, and cobblestones, like Rome. Our city is rich, we can hire and pay the homeless people to work on public landscaping, etc. And Anaheim needs hostels with a shower and a bed for $15 per night, and I support Sober Living homes for $150 per week. We also need a movie studio like Occidental in East Hollywood with movie equipment rentals, etc. And we have a new program at Fullerton Community College where they train people for jobs at Disney and that is fantastic. Disney also needs to hire people from Chapman film school, etc. We need to be active in good ways. But, meanwhile we are the 3rd best county in California here in Orange County.

I really liked that story arc!
