Try to find a job you enjoy from 9-5. That means focusing on activities you enjoy that are the main activity of said job. I worked in a pet store because it afforded me 30% of my time playing with puppies, even though the remaining 70% was cleaning puppy shit and stocking goods. I now work as a therapist because I spend 70% of my time talking to people about their problems (which I enjoy), and 30% doing paperwork and correspondence. Make your job something you enjoy most of them time and it gets much easier. Then, you retire and collect Social Security. As long as you’ve worked for most of your life, that’ll be a decent retirement. You’ll have to live frugally, but it’ll be livable.

Also, if you can manage it, invest $10,000 as early as you can in a stock market index fund and pay for a fund manager. By the time you retire, that will provide you with a substantial cushion to rest on.

Quest for Glory series. Got me into RPGs.

Honest question: how are baby killers treated by other inmates in American prisons?

It was so traumatizing he had to go see Richard Dreyfus for therapy.

This is the move Trump needs to make if he wants to become a true dictator. You need the military protecting you from the populace if you’re going to consolidate absolute power. If he starts purging the military brass, that’s a confirmation that he’s planning to be president for life.

There’s been a few. Not many. They seem like they’re the type that’s just in denial, not maliciously trying to smokescreen his ill intent.

OR…you could just have sex and start families with men who support women’s rights?

I have a feeling this extremist “solution” is just disguised misandry from a bunch of extremist feminists.

Ah well, thanks for selecting yourselves out of the gene pool, I guess?

That’s a limerick conservative parents tell themselves to feel better about their rebellious kids.

And not what I’m talking about at all.

As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.

Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.

Trump voters are stupid and have poor memories.

Except for the ones who are just plain evil.

I have a Mexican coworker who voted for Trump over a single issue: he believes Trump pulled the FBI and CIA out of Mexico, which stopped them selling guns to the cartels.

Not only is this not true, it shows that he’s voting for Trump solely for the benefit of Mexico. Honestly, to my mind, that’s not a bad reason to deport someone (which—as a citizen—he can’t be, I know).

They legitimately want Trump to deport the other illegals, not their illegals.

Artemio Muniz, chairman of the Federation of Hispanic Republicans, said he was pleased with the election outcome, but his elation was tempered because “the reality is there’s work to do."

“Now my focus is to the immigration side. Now we have a real battle on our hands, not with Trump,” Muniz said, but “we have to make sure … hard-working Mexican immigrants do not get deported.”

Fucking incredible.

Agreed. Everyone who voted for Trump is either an idiot or a monster. I think most of them fall into the former category. Every Trump voter I’ve talked to who has said they “did their own research” to inform their vote has pointed to information they got from fringe sites and outlets they were initially linked to via social media. Not one mentioned looking at Trump’s campaign website, the Wikipedia article on him, much less any of the critical articles about him in legitimate news sites. These are ignorant people with no critical thinking skills.

It’s insane to me that these hyper-rich people care nothing for future generations. They’re dooming their own grandchildren and they don’t give a shit. All so they can have more numbers on their banking apps. It’s mind-boggling.

Why can’t Subway just give this woman the meat she paid for?

LOL. Omg I’m such a survivor. I’m only a survivor because I survived this long. I would be a completely different person if I I just survived longer than this. 😝

Because you invested in a shit plan or simply made your investments poorly. I know plenty of people who are doing well on their retirement investment plans, and I’m doing fine too. Don’t blame America, the country, for your shitty decisions.

That movie is like watching my own childhood.

Hopefully without the intellectual impairments all the main characters have?

🤷🏻 Can’t say I’m surprised. Joe Rogan cancelling him seems kinda hypocritical though.

Napoleon Dynamite, but that’s intentional.
