When you get engaged, you think you’re about to spend the rest of your life with your best friend. It’s partially true. More likely, you will be spending most of your days apart and reconvening as two very tired souls in the evening. And much of your efforts in marriage will be spent trying to steal time from your obligations to spend it with your beloved.

Wrongly considered, it can be a persistent grief. Rightly considered, it can become a grand romantic adventure. Either way, I find that I often miss my husband. And my hope for his eventual retirement has nothing at all to do with a life of ease but with a deep and simple desire for his presence.

An older society doesn’t just have more old people on it

It transforms the nature of the young as well

[Hayden @EverettStanner]

I have like 5 different old people in my life like this.

[Hayden @EverettStanner]

Boomers are the only people who will give you items you obviously have no use for "as a gift" in order to offload getting rid of some nonsense they feel too guilty to throw out. Laundering their shame. They expect you to be excited.

The meme's meaning aside:
Luddites weren't what you think they were.

Real Luddite:
I am starving. I will smash your machines and riot, because I am DYING. I just wanna LIVE. My conditions are worsening! AAAAAAAH!

What people think Luddites were:
I just, idk, hate machines, man.

do you ever read something and wonder what the fuck is wrong with the mind that produced it

[NKY Lefty @NKY_Leftist]

These people act like they're morally superior because they idolize suffering. "My child can't talk, do anything, costs us our financial and mental health, and is in pain 24/7 but you are the evil one if you wouldn't do the same and end up terminating a developing fetus."

[bunnie @CuriousBunnie12]

that would genuinely leave parenthood as an option for only billionaires. this is not progressive rhetoric.

[emily north @north0fnorth]

i’m convinced car dependency and suburban sprawl promoting anti-social attitudes like “being in a public place with strangers is scary and bad” majorly contributes to why so many people are extremely regressive, tribalist, and paranoid these days

[Cabot Montana @AmanitaFugax]

I simply do not believe the most evil thing you’ve ever read on this platform is a guy announcing his wife terminated a pregnancy because the fetus had Down syndrome

[eli 🕯✨ @nienna121]

I like how having kids is presented here as some quirky little fun hobby, like maternity leave is a vacation.

It’s the boomer male mentality of considering maternity leave “vacation” as if most of it isn’t spent bleeding, at doctor appointments, and losing your mind from lack of sleep.

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

A husband and father drank so deeply from the most toxic kind of right-wing politics that he alienated his wife and kids, pushing them away with this erratic, aggressive, and miserable behavior until they could no longer recognize or tolerate him--and that is "based," according to these people. Why? Because the new right is a cult in which you demonstrate your bona fides by destroying your real life for plaudits on the internet. It's the same with Chud the Builder (Dalton Eatherly), whose wife left him and told him she wants to change her son's name so that the boy would not be associated with his father's hateful, embarrassing, psychotic activities that elicit applause from the right online. You really can't encourage people, men in particular, to get away from it as fast and as far as they can.

There are entire states made of counties bigger than Rhode Island.

[Liam @LegoRacers2]

He voted for Nixon 3 times before dying of congestive heart failure in 1974. She remains a lifelong Democrat at the age of 102. The baby joined the Weathermen in 1969 and spent 32 years in South Yemen and Nicaragua as an international fugitive. He endorsed Hillary in 2016

I've come up with a solution for this problem

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

An insane thing for a leading American government leader to say to a minority community in the US.

[holden m. accountable @noahpasaran]

Okay I’m American and I also dislike European superiority complexes and this is one the most provably false things I’ve ever read

[Daphne Hansell @DaphneRHansell]

total boomer luxury communism in the Montclair public pools. Why is a 2 year old more than twice as expensive as a senior?
