  • In the case of many GenX folks: “our turn” will never arrive. The Boomers refused to fucking retire and make room for us, and younger generations conflate us with Boomers because “old is old”.

    Meanwhile we are working our asses off helping our elderly parents navigate an increasingly hostile health system (yay, capitalism) while giving our adult children a place to live or money to survive an increasingly impossibly expensive society. Can’t afford to save for retirement either.

    “Hooray”

    (fyi - I also think that term limits are the way to go here - finish your terms, then gtfo. None of this waiting around for 20 years for “my turn” and certainly none of that “just wheel the old corpse in and tell her how to vote” bullshit either)

  • This is probably because you are stating your subjective opinion in a rude & condescending way, instead of providing any peer-reviewed data to back up your claims.

    tl;dr/succinct version - you are full of shit

  • I lived through it - in Florida - and it was every bit as shady and disgusting as you would think, and then some.

    Especially that Brooks Brothers Riot of “concerned citizens” who were actually GOP operatives demanding a recount. That fucking sickens me to this day.

    (I showed my spouse an article about that a few years ago and he was horrified. He’d had no idea, although I don’t fault him for that since he was on float at the time)

  • This happened to me literally every single session at this one particular gym.

    The worst offender was the dude who suddenly plopped down next to me (which was startling) while I was on the floor doing ab work and just started jabbering away. I just pointed to my ear bud and motioned him away.

    Mother fucker, I’m here to work on my fitness, not talk to every rando that decides to chat me up.

    I cancelled my membership that morning.

    (Note that I am a woman)

  • This was exactly my first thought.

    And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.

    He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC

  • Infidelity is somewhat common but I would say it’s not “normal” at all to openly discuss and laugh about it at dinner with a bunch of people that you haven’t seen for years.

    Seriously- wtf is wrong with these people? That one person sounds especially horrible.

    Also - don’t go to any more reunions. I’ve managed to avoid 40 years of that shit and I like to believe that I’m happier for it!

  • ADHD memes @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Me, everyday, except on the due date
