Has it?

Some of you have barely changed.

Definitely not. It's been simultaneously both better and worse than I would've ever imagined. Mostly for the better though.

How about you?

That's just the way it is.

Pretty much agree with C. Better in many ways, worse in some. In terms of career, I'm very happy with how things turned out.

My life has gone better than I expected.

It's an interesting question, though. I wonder if, you looked at the life trajectories of our users, whether it would be mostly good or mostly bad? We've had some disastrous outcomes like Nexus, Squeegee, and so on. But I'd like to think it's mostly been positive changes for our users, or at least they're about the same.

What's your beef with Squeegee? She's being sho she genuinely is. That's a good thing.

There's a huge selection bias of those that remain. I'm not sure which direction it goes though. I'd guess maybe toward the mean.

Probably both the most successful and most fucked up are long gone.

You're assuming a lot of people's gender there, buddy.

Many here are not white.

But you gotta force your religion into everything, so don't worry about it
