Lol this was funny AND educational! Although reading it as comment instead of being stuck in that actual class probably helped.

That was your “quarter-life crisis”. Don’t worry your mid-life crisis is still on its way :D

Correct. IIRC there’s an auto mechanism that will cut all benefits by 23% or something. So you’re mom/dad getting $2,000 a month would now only get about $1,500.

I used reddit is fun, haven’t really been back outside the occasional Google search that links a post. It sucks and I do miss it, kind of like an old ex you look back fondly on but things just didn’t work out. I used to spend HOURS on the site and while lemmy is nice for keeping up with general world events and memes it just isn’t the same.

I like to rationalize that it helps keep me in the real world instead of spending most of my time on an app. Oh and sticking to a principle and trying to support those 3rd party app creators.

Just a little fucksy wucksy :3

Why not give people actual hope for the future if that’s the problem?

Damn am i the only one who uses Connect? Lol

Pray they don’t alter it any further

God this guy is so out of touch

I mean literally everything will end, entropy is the ultimate force in the universe. But while that means your happiness is not going to last, it also means your saddness will not last either. This realization that nothing lasts creates sort of an obligation to just live in and experience the present moment.

So this would come with a hazard pay increase since they have to carry live firearms right?.. right?..

I mean if my grocery store app could track my purchases and then give me a suggested weekly grocery list based on meals it knows I like or ate before that would be incredible. Hell I’d pay for that lol.

There’s already more houses than people to live in them…

It was either that or they start charging. They’re gonna piss people of either way but at least it’s still free.

Great ad I saw recently was a Charlie Day Mt Dew commercial. He said one word and a Mt Dew sign dropped over him and he yelled in his Charlie Day voice, “Hey I didn’t even take a drink yet!” And that was the commercial.

Short. Sweet. Funny.

Idk why ppl are hating on this. We haven’t seen a large scale war in quite a while. And it’s not unheard of that companies cut corners in the US in the name of profits. Or that someone gives a bid to their friend/relative instead of the best company.

iirc they didn’t know if he was in Romania or not but seeing the pizza box confirmed that he was. Of course they already knew where he lived just not if he was there.

Then they close the store and use it as a tax write off and now people have one less grocery store

Read somewhere they target places that are easy/defenseless/won’t give resistance. They target schools, churches, shopping centers, all places with little to no ability to fight back against someone with a gun. Life/society has been cruel to them so they want to return that cruelty to society.

But as someone else said it’s not always rational stuff going thru these people’s minds.

I’m a “blacksmith” using advanced machinery to aid in the process.
