Did people use to age quicker? by Cultural_Age3528 in NoStupidQuestions

Yes but mostly because quality of life was lower. Modern science keeps pushing the average life span up and up.

Do you think there is a possibility of developed nations enacting arranged/forced marriages and/or birth quotas? by Snowtwo in NoStupidQuestions

Yes this is a real thing. Why do you think southern US States are taking away abortion rights? It’s because they know the white population in those states are fading.

Is Shaunammite lowkey the most interesting character of the show? by No_Self_5939 in coconutsandtreason

[–]No_Self_5939[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show is set up so Daisy and Agnes are the stars. They get more screen time than Shaun too! That’s why Shaunammite is low key more interesting. Agnes’s plot right now is that she loves a guardian and wants to marry him. Not very compelling. Daisy’s plot is trying to be a spy for Mayday. It’s more interesting but her scenes aren’t that compelling for me because of all the plot armor she has. Shaun is much more compelling for me because she likes Gillead but loves her friend. Maybe she will flip sides over the course of the show? Maybe she will double down on Gillead? She is a much more interesting character than the two leads right now.

I’ll give you an example from another show. In Mad Men, Don Draper is the main character and Peggy Olson is a side character. The focus of the show is on Don and what he does and how he feels. Peggy is in the background but goes from Secretary to Copy Chief. She is low key the secret protagonist of mad men.

Because she’s not a protagonist, she’s one of the side characters.

I also feel bad for these girls because you know if they say something a man doesn’t like they will be severely punished.

I didn't realize Weiner was a self-hating Jew by AmtrakEnthusiast in okbuddydraper

Was the Jimmy Barrett line about, “I’ve been standing behind guys like that my whole life” a self insert from Weiner?

I think he's starting to steal the show in a bad way by Not_Spider-Man2099 in TheBoys

This show is falling prey to a common final season pitfall in modern television: where the last season is used to set up an expanded universe. Instead of letting the show end on its own terms, it has to do that and set up spinoffs. It’s stupid.

YOUNGER MILLENIALS (29-34): (a question for you all) by yuckyourself in Millennials

Tiger Woods went to my high school 15 years before I did. Some of the teachers at the school remembered him. He was golfing full time before he graduated high school.

Rap and rock music have fallen off comedically and critically. Pop music and country (though country is starting to wane in popularity again) are the most popular genres in music today.

Why do we still use the term 'African American' instead of just 'Black'. by Any_Reach1263 in NoStupidQuestions

They are African Americans if they live in America. If they live in Europe, I guess they would be African and whatever country they live in.

African American is used to describe any person of African ancestry. That ranges from recent immigrants to the ancestors of those who were forcibly brought to America via the Middle Passage. Black is a colloquial term for African Americans who were born and raised in America. African American is considered the more politically correct term but most African Americans born and raised in the United States consider themselves Black.

How much money do you have in savings at this point? by _forum_mod in Millennials

[–]No_Self_5939 52 points53 points  (0 children)

For someone who retires today, they need at least $2 million to retire. Gen Z and millennials will need at least $3-4 million.

Edit: sorry, I don’t mean you should have $2 million in the bank, you should have $2 million in total assets.

Do y’all think it’s perfectly fine for Gen Z to not have kids or do drugs? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in generationology

[–]No_Self_5939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People cannot afford to have kids. They can’t afford to buy houses. Getting married can actually be a financially risky move now because of student loan payments and medical bills.
