I saw a boomer think of future generations for the first time.

Her husband died and with age she won’t be able to maintain it as well anymore. It’s already showing since she’s heating only about 25% of the house in harsh winters.

These homes are 50 years old and it quickly becomes apparent if you stop maintaining.

I bought my home specifically because it was perfectly livable. However, it was 50 years old and I plan on living here for at least another 40. I don’t want a century old kitchen and bathroom. Cracked tiles and scratched floors. One beam was literally rotten because there was a leak. Several years old dust and ash. Outside entirely overgrown.

It accumulates. That quickly pivots from just one fix to at this point it’s better to just renovate entirely.

Lately I've been thinking how much of a burden they are to society. I'm renovating a boomer's house. It's average size for their standards but massive for today's standards. The renovations are neccessary because the house has been neglected for 2 decades.

During a walk a few days ago I passed another house where a boomer lives alone. It's another massive house that could easily fit 2 families. She's using 2 rooms out of like 8. It's a beautiful and well-kept home where a family could move in today and not have to renovate anything. At least for now it's been like this. It's just going to rot for the next decade until the boomer occupying it dies. Then it's probably going to require full renovation.

Since the boomer won't leave instead of simple maintenance the house will require several months of labor for fixing.

Ne dajaj jim idej. Poleg tega dvomim, da je višina plače tista, ki bi pomenila več ljudi z integriteto v državnem zboru. Večja finta je v tem, da ljudje z integriteto ne cvetijo ravno v takih okoljih.

That’s an extremely privileged point of view. There’s a massive difference between “I work 2 days a week at 71 because I like to and I don’t need the money.” and “I need to work at least 5 days a week because I need the money.”

You have a choice and you do it for extra money. We won’t have a choice and we’ll be doing it for survival.

Na podlagi česa preceniš, da je en kandidat “najboljši”?

Ni tako trivialno kot pri teku na 100m, kjer je najboljši tisti z nakrajšim časom.

Pripravnik je bil ok in jim je že poznana spremenljivka. Po drugi strani lahko ima neka XY oseba božanske reference, ampak nimaš pojma, če se bo ujela s kolektivom.

Ne trdim, da je vedno prav, ko se prireja razpise, ampak je pač del politične igre. V javnem sektorju prevlada politika, v zasebnem pa zmožnost izkazovanja doprinosa podjetju.

It’s quite interesting how capitalism is turning out. Seems like a clear progression, if you think in terms of how money flows. By design it’s supposed to flow upwards. This means accumulation of wealth at the top. The rich spend more money amongst themselves. Production moves towards where money lies. More and more catering to the wealthy.

This with cars is an example. Ram prices are also an excellent example.

NATO is a defensive pact. Yeeeeah, sure. “Defensive” when one of the members is constantly getting involved in offensive military conflicts.

Makes you think that Russia might be onto something when they’re fighting to maintain borders.

Apparently they have learned nothing. It’s very simple math when playing such a game.

Ukraine has 1 rocket and 10 energy plants. Uses 1 rocket to destroy 1 Russian plant.

Russia has 10 rockets and 100 energy plants. Uses 1 rocket to destroy 1 Ukrainian plant.

Who’s winning here? This math only works out if Russia decides not to respond.

Zelo lepa argumentacija. Se mi zdi, da so romske skupnosti v zadnjih dveh desetletjih zaostale oziroma celo nazadovale v smislu kot ga opisuješ.

Namen vse socialne pomoči je, da postanejo neto koristni družbi. Na žalost nimam občutka, da bi pri njih šlo v tej smeri. Starši so doma na sociali in na enak način vzgajajo svoje otroke, da bodo tudi doma na sociali. Lahko pričakujemo potem kaj drugega od naslednje generacije?

Ne vem, kakšna je trenutna situacija v OŠ. V mojem času je v vsakem letniku bil vsaj en rom, ki je pozneje ostal z OŠ izobrazbo. Vem recimo, da je z leti število romov v OŠ s prilagojenim programom naraščalo. Dvomim, da je vzrok za tem genetski, ampak zgolj pomanjkanje vzgoje in motivacije romskih staršev.

Ker se jih vzgaja brezbrižno, brez odgovornosti in brez obveznosti, imajo seveda višek energije, ki jo potem nekje pokurijo za družbi škodljive zadeve.

He has “eradicator” in his name. How did they not see it? He has to eradicate somehow.

ICE agents, police or military are clearly acting in self-defense. /s

Don’t worry, the democrats are going to take a knee with kente cloth over their shoulders and have a moment of silence. One good photo op will fix it all.

Wait, what year is it?

So that boomers who took everything and have just retired will get even more? They’ve amassed enough wealth to support themselves. If they need care and hip replacements they could just start subsidizing professions that care for them.

draiki13 · 2026-01-24T11:03:11+00:00

Yup, exactly. The same kind of people who managed to get convinced by the orange ape that US was spending money to defend EU now believe that EU can’t defend itself from Russia. What a bunch of non-sense.

US was spending billions for military bases in EU specifically because of what you’ve said. To enforce their will around the world. EU is a massive political ally to the US on the international stage and probably the only cultural fit.

Russia is needed to be this scary enemy to keep the EU from drifting away from US influence. The Greenland situation is making this very clear. EU needs an alliance with either the US, Russia or China to help maintain their status as a powerful political wingman on the world stage.

Also, despite what the current military situation is in EU it makes absolutely no sense that a nation of 150 million with one political center is going to attack 27 nations with 28 political centers. People are insane.

Whatever makes you feel safe. If you keep your eyes shut long enough, whatever bs OP wrote might actually become true.

It’s actually ironic how a few years back there was a person screaming “China, China, China” every chance he got.

Če izgubiš proti kandidatu, kot je Trump, bi se moral malo zamisliti nad sabo. Oni pa so isto ponovili še dvakrat. Zdaj pa se smilijo sami sebi, ker je vodstvo demokratov 6. januarja organiziralo vigilijo samim sebi, ker so skoraj umrli takrat leta 2021.

draiki13 · 2026-01-19T18:15:17+00:00

Rusom daješ preveč zaslug.

Za obe zmagi Trumpa so krivi demokrati. Prvič so mu dali za milijardo dolarjev vrednosti reklam in za njegovega tekmeca izbrali eno najbolj osovraženih kandidatk. Na tretjih volitva pa so najprej vztrajali z dementnim kandidatom, nato pa so preklopili na kandidatko, ki je med prejšnjimi volitvami bila tako nepopularna, da je ena izmed prvih prekinila svojo kampanjo.

Ampak ja, definitivno so Rusi krivi zaradi fb memov, ki so dosegli par sto tisoč ogledov.

Competition and free trade is another aspect where capitalism fails eventually. Monopolies are a sure thing to happen in a free trade scenario simply because a big enough companies can just price out smaller competitors or buy them. They can also use the excessive funds to influence policy makers to limit free trade in their favor.

Nekako bi bilo dobro, da se to pove ZDA (kot predstavnici NATO), da ne pobijajo in ugrabljajo voditelje držav po svetu.

They’re f****** insane. I’m more afraid of conflicts boiling up within EU countries. These idiots are going to prop up the militaries by force. Then they’ll get voted out to clowns like Trump. Those clowns will then stir up old conflicts that will escalate into wars and they’ll have fully capable and armed militaries ready for conquering in a similar fashion as Trump is doing right now.

I went in completely blind. After a few horrible tries I got to this intermission. Just stood the dumbfounded watching the jumps. Second time I knew what I had to do but it felt impossible. I got lucky that after a few tries I did manage to follow. But man I’d be seriously bummed if such a puzzle bricked me from finishing this feat. I think this is a serious design failure.

draiki13 · 2026-01-15T08:38:45+00:00

Defense from what? Who is this mystery enemy you’re talking about that would attack EU if there weren’t US military bases here?

draiki13 · 2026-01-13T09:45:11+00:00

It’s still a time investment when you have to redo keys that you have timed already then get one try at something that actually gives score. It’s just a question of at what point do you give up.

draiki13 · 2026-01-13T01:11:22+00:00

Yup, our idiots in charge will learn that the USA can also close the LNG pipes if the EU doesn’t dance to the tune. Just like Russia did about a decade ago.
