my new source of financial stress is learning that my 62 year old mother has as much in her retirement accounts as my 35 year old self i am substantially ahead of most of my peer group but nowhere near ready to retire in a few years and if i were 62 years old right now i'd be making GBS threads myself i guess i know where all that surplus computer toucher money i'm earning is going to go in the next few decades

mediaphage posted:start thinking of a house with a dependent suite imo yeah the thought has definitely crossed my mind but we live on opposite coasts so that would be a rough road for at least one of us. if it's necessary, it's necessary, but ughhhh the silver lining is that this might be the wakeup call my girlfriend needs to start paying attention to her long-term financial planning

shocked to hear that head of NYC police association is a routine law breaker, and that the cops look the other way https://twitter.com/placardabuse/status/1445578532499849222?t=VqOCtYrvFB_tAL5lVpFM3A&s=19

looks like the treasury overruled the state department and China isn’t doing a genocide anymore. someone has to buy all our debt. https://twitter.com/ap/status/1447147267669037057?s=21

carry on then posted:taking credit for things where your involvement topped out at "watched it happen on tv" is a time-honored white american tradition, see: the civil rights movement There was some Rock Paper Shotgun article in the early 2010s that poo poo-talked on false nostalgia from the media, and I can't find it, but this is a similar take: https://www.theawl.com/2010/12/false-nostalgia-how-vh1-ruined-the-taste-of-a-generation/ Boomers are like that except it's all from reruns of Happy Days and I Love Lucy (plus a poo poo load of lead toxicity)

it actually took me until college to realize that most peoples parents were not like my mom who was an ob/gyn who joined the peace corps in the 70s and delivered babies in vietnam/cambodia during/after the war and came home and eventually helped start a low income prenatal clinic at her hospital in america. protesting and woodstock/music festivals are two things you can basically ignore any story from a boomer about if they are white.

this christmas people will have to settle for gathering together with their family, sharing stories, eating wholesome traditional foods, and playing the games and sports of their childhood, like some kind of loving third-world shithole losers

black friday being cancelled because of shortages would be a great thing. thanksgiving is for collapsing on your relatives' floor while watching home alone in a food/wine coma, not preparing to be trampled by lunatics trying to get the two doorbuster laptops or save 8¢ on bath towels

Bernie might’ve tried to do something about any of the problems, which democrats obviously believe is worse than the coming six years of guaranteed republican rule
