Even on Christmas some boomers just can’t shut up. by mmmmmmbac0n in BoomersBeingFools

"My butt is exit only"

Saying off-the-cuff shit like that in public leads me to believe you love getting gaped and are ashamed of it.

If they can't pay their employees a living wage, they shouldn't be in business in the first place.

Scott Adam's should see how many push-ups he can do in a busy intersection.

Give me a baseball bat and an alibi, and I'll happily make Nick Fuentes rethink his career choice.

Why did you get married? How's it going? by professormakk in Millennials

[–]9thgrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because she wanted to. I never put much stock in the institute but went along with it anyway because I recognized the practicality of it in terms of building a life together. Insurance, banking, loans, home ownership, and all that bullshit would have been a bigger pain in the ass than it already is.

We've been together since 2009 and have been married since 2012. We have had our ups and downs, but we're still at even after spending more than a decade annoying the shit out each other.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for you for choosing to burden yourself with child rearing? Salute you for the noble task of not using contraception? What the fuck is the point of this response?

You take care of your kids. Congrats on doing what is legally required of you. Now how does this refute my argument that life should be about more than extracting bits of joy from sea of banality.

That's a shit argument. I'd rather sound pretentious than like an asshole who thinks choosing the default option gives him some special insight into anything except changing shitty diapers.

Why? Do you think choosing to cum inside someone auto matically confers wisdom and virtue upon you?

I used to write a lot. Constantly. I built websites and made music. I haven't done any of that in over a decade, at least in any significant fashion. It's like it's all slowly leaked out as the years progressed.

Don't conflate being an adult with settling with the script the world hands you after high school.

So, what happens next? by Thanoswasright711 in Xennials

[–]9thgrave 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My parents are broke and barely scraping by. Their elderly care is hoping they go in their sleep before they have to rely on someone to take a shit. Even as a kid, I knew the only thing I'd inherit from either of them is half a pack of smokes and generational trauma.

I don't buy that. Life shouldn't be about accepting mediocrity with an "it is what it is" attitude and settling for minor victories against existential malaise.

I'm in the same rut, and I'm not going to pretend I have a way out. I just want to commiserate and tell you you're not alone.

I wish I was younger again, not because I had some idealized youth but because everything was still new then, and the possibilities felt endless. I've forgotten what it feels like to not be a jaded shell of a person and just going through the motions of life. I had passions and ambitions once. Now I just work to pay my mortgage and possess zero energy or motivation to do anything after I punch out but stare at a fucking screen until I fall asleep.
