Weโre obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.
The most tiring thing about adulting for me is how CONSTANT it is. Thereโs ALWAYS something to sort out. โChillingโ usually just means youโre ignoring the million things on your to-do list.
Kids born 2000โ2004:
- Corona fucked up everything
- After corona, students forgot how to write on paper
- Worst college life
- No real friends
- Unemployment arc
- War and missiles
- AI taking real jobs
- Mental health issues and depression
- Anyone can write code, real devs not needed
- No healthy life
The life of a boomer:
- Graduated when a degree guaranteed a job
- College tuition cost 6 blueberries
- Worked at one company for 30 years
- Bought a house at 22 on one income
- Wife could stay home & raise the kids
- Monthly mortgage cost less than Netflix today
- Networking happened at the strip club
- โWork hard & youโll get aheadโ was actually true
- Promotions meant life changing money & not just a pizza party
- Passed on their generational trauma to their kids
- Rode a historic bull market into retirement with a fat pension
- Sold their house for 30x what they paid
- Enjoy their social security checks while the fund runs out of money
- Tell their kids to stop buying lattes
can we stop pretending like the americans were this team of destiny? they spent half a game tied with latvia, were down 1-0 and 2-1 to denmark, and went to overtime with sweden and canada, getting outshot 42-28 in the gold medal game.
I dreaded a Canada vs USA battle for gold in the Olympics because (in light of current politics) I knew if they won, they would gloat and insult us and be generally awful.
They immediately showed themselves to be far worse than I imagined.
Just zero sportsmanship or class.
