I’M JACKED UP ON MOUNTAIN DEW I’LL COME AT YOU LIKE A SPIDER MONKEY OLD MAN

I call it realistic. If you think everything is going to work out, you’re delusional, man. But I hope you prove me wrong some day, I really do.

Social Security is set to run out in the 2030s, and I fully expect the stock market to crash, effectively wiping out my 401k. As others have mentioned, resources like water will start to become scarce, inciting instability.

I live in MA. My work and personal cell phones were screeching alerts every hour until it got restored. Kinda scary that it can go down like that.

I’m a late gen-Xer (born in '80, so I’m more of a “Xennial”). I have a stable job, pension, matching 401k, no kids, no debt (paid off my car and student loans), make 6 figures, and I am STILL convinced that I will never be able to retire. I feel horrible for all those who are in a worse financial situation than me, but we are all really fucked in the next 20 years.

Adorable

Can confirm. My coworker in D.C. is just getting over it.

Same. My brother and only sibling hasn’t had it either despite being exposed multiple times.

I do have Bluetooth keyboard for my current phone, but it’s definitely not the same, plus it’s just another thing to lug around

Not gonna lie, I do miss phones with tactile keyboard buttons. My last dumb phone had a mini qwerty keyboard and I loved that thing.

Omg, this isn’t long enough

I’m thinking the same regarding Linux, but I dunno shit about it and while I’m not totally computer illiterate, switching operating systems like that is very intimidating to me.

Realistically, how many years do you think Microsoft will support Windows 10? I dread having to switch to 11 some day, at the rate they’re going.

I know we’re not here for this, but her dress is awesome.

That being said, after reading the article, I’m not surprised she was denied her visa when she’s investigating something the Indian government clearly doesn’t want the public to know about. I hope she gets to return some day and complete what she started.

Yeah! That’s more like it!

I also question why they think it needs to have legs, especially only 2. The dogs seem to have way more stability on 4 legs. Why do they insist on making them appear human?

I swear all the 1SGs I’ve met are either the coolest person in the world that you wish was your parent, or a complete fucking psycho that gives the impression they wouldn’t give a damn if you died. There’s no in-between. The good ones were amazing and inspiring and you felt honored and privileged to serve with them, and the bad ones made you feel like you were worthless and would never amount to shit.

Though I’m not originally from there, I moved to CO in '94 with my mom and went to high school there. I joined the army out of high school and was in AIT at the time of the shooting. I’ll never forget the morning after, we were all in formation waiting to get the day started, and the 1st SGT comes out and starts screaming “Who here is from Colorado!?” And of course I’m the only one out of like 300 soldiers to raise my hand, and he runs over to me and just starts screaming “What the fuck is wrong with you people? Are you all mentally insane?” etc etc, just chewing me out. I had NO IDEA what he was talking about because no one had cell phones or computers and we weren’t allowed access to TVs or newspapers. I just keep telling him I didn’t know what he was talking about, then finally he backed off and told everyone what happened. I didn’t know anyone that went to Columbine, but years later among people I met in Colorado, it sort of turned into a six degrees of separation thing where everyone knew someone that knew someone who was there.

No thanks. You want me to have a fucking conversation with my washing machine? How is that saving time for me? STFU and run my laundry on cold with low spin like I do every damn time.

Also, what happens next with the fridge? “You’ve had too much cheese today. Initiating cheese drawer lock.” Fuck naw.
