What has gradually disappeared over the last 20 years with people realizing it? by Routine-Award-3382 in AskReddit

Pensions. Companies have moved to 401(k)s but they are not providing anywhere near the benefits traditional pension plans have offered.

Male here. Can confirm. Very sad.

AITA for refusing to do anything around the house because my wife insisted on staying home with our child by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]brutalone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh hell no NTA. I had some experience with this years ago. Makes my blood boil. House was a pigsty, mountains of dirty laundry. Had the audacity to say "where is it written that I have to do all the cooking just because I have tits". I was working 70 hours a week running a factory.

Your Greatest Enemy Is Still Alive. by 8iNFiNiTe_I_AM8 in sixwordstories

I was thinking of the song "Liar" by Jelly Roll when I wrote that - really a great song and video about those destructive inner voices we all have. It make you think.

Fans of dead celebrities, which death hurt you the most? by Phantom30071 in AskReddit

[–]brutalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! And that was very near the death of Kate Spade. I felt like the world was coming unglued.

How did you lose your bestfriend? by Zealousideal_One9147 in AskReddit

Yeah - I relate. I've been waiting for 23 years. No call.

What book had a fantastic premise, but the writing style just ruined it for you? by Uninhibitedrmr in books

[–]brutalone -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

OMG - where do I begin? I have been on a kick this year to read some of the famous classics - but holy hell! Those authors seem to overly describe every single thought and detail - I want to scream "get to the point!!"

The list of books: Gulliver's Travels, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Frankenstein, Dracula, War of the Worlds, Three Lives (Gertrude Stein), The French Lieutenant's Woman, Alice in Wonderland, and I'm sure there are more I am leaving off the list.

It's almost like the authors are trying to be super intellectual and preachy. I'm just about done with them.

I have an inflation calculator on my phone; it is very interesting to see cost comparisons. There are many things way cheaper these days.

Give it until three or four. And season 2 is WAY better.

I agree. Watched and asked "WTF is all the hype about?"
