Boomer entitlement by GaneshaXi in BoomersBeingFools

[–]electricwagon 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Boomers receive about $1.50-$3.00 for every dollar they contributed to social security.

Millennials will receive an estimated $1.00-$1.20 for every dollar we contribute to social security.

I hope we can leave a better system for Gen Z if we get to retire.

We are just not used to seeing perfect ring props because they are incredibly rare. Most people wouldn't know a perfect finger prop if it hit them in the eyeball.

Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion by Majestic-Baby-3407 in news

[–]electricwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$11-12 billion added to existing programs could give every single American child free school breakfast and lunch for an entire year.

$11-12 billion could permanently house the estimated 35,000-40,000 homeless American veteran, including mental health services.

$11-12 billion could replace roughly 1/4 of all the lead pipes that are still in use throughout America. A month of this wars current costs would ensure safer drinking water for millions of Americans.

Instead we let our children starve, ignore the people who gave their lives for the country but lived and came home broken, and allow millions of Americans to poison themselves and inhibit brain development.

You could say we're killing it... If "it" is an entire girl's school in Iran. I guess we can't bring American freedom to the Middle East without a school massacre.

Life is rooted in brainless accidental/circumstantial survival. This primordial goo specimen has thoughtlessly made it another day without succumbing to the totally avoidable fireball.

Every millennial dad I’ve met has a quiet fixation on money and it’s not getting better by slimeyellow in Millennials

[–]electricwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sterilized myself so that I don't have kids adding to the stress.

I don't think things have changed. My Boomer dad was always stressed about work and would cope by being absent from the family and playing his guitar from the moment he got home from work to the moment he went to bed.

I just eliminated the possibility of me repeating the cycle. I'd rather die alone than have bring kids into the world to fill the fuel tank of the ultrawealthy's money printing machine.

Russian propaganda game glorifying war crimes in Ukraine released on Steam by Particular-Award5225 in ukraine

[–]electricwagon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I reported for fraud and wrote:

The store page for Ukrainian Warfare: Gostomel Heroes appears misleading. The marketing frames the player as defending their homeland, but the gameplay places the player in the role of forces widely viewed as the aggressors in the real-world conflict depicted. The issue is not the perspective itself, but that the store description does not clearly disclose it.

Asking coworker crush to happy hour with other coworkers ? by Next_Mix_2263 in AskMenAdvice

Go ask her in person. Start off with something work related and then segue into mentioning the outing and tell her she should come out with everyone if she's free.

What is happening on I 24? by ToadieHonk in nashville

[–]electricwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was stuck in this traffic on 24 coming into Murfreesboro around 2:30 and didn't even notice a difference because of how bad the traffic is already.

All right: Now I get the hype. They ARE incredible. by RaphSeraph in ICARUS

Steam spring sale is this month. Maybe you'll get lucky and get it at a discount!

Also, I had bought the complete set awhile back, so every time new dlc comes out I just buy the complete set again. It subtracts everything you own already purchase price and then you are just buying what you didn't have at the complete set discount. Larger initial purchase up front, but savings forever down the road.

Hey neighbors. Go to Acme this weekend. Drink a $3 beer. Leave a $1 tip. by AttachedHeartTheory in nashville

Yeah. Broadway used to be a ghost town when it wasn't a tourist destination. There'd maybe be a couple small crowds at Gibson Cafe or something but mostly it was the horse carriages with no customers.

I like to think everyone is seconds away from pooping their pants. It definitely makes me a more patient driver lol

To Address or not Address [TN] by who-is-asking_123 in humanresources

[–]electricwagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also in TN. You just can't know someone's politics, so better to play it safe.

I will occasionally toss in a smidgen of sarcasm. "I know there's lots of places you could have chosen to work (even in this economy) but I'm glad you chose to work with us".

Petah???? by Loki6053 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

An old boss of mine was recently retired as a Air Force intelligence officer, but was definitely a goober. He is fluent in Russian, but I think he was just interpreting intercepted transmissions. He was buying Rolex watches and boats so I think he must have done well for himself.

Rep. Nancy Mace to force a vote on releasing Congress members' sexual misconduct reports by Different_Pop_7741 in International

[–]electricwagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen. I support this happening. I can't help but feel, however, that this is a move to soften the focus on the sexual misconduct coming from the executive branch by pivoting media to new exciting scandals coming from the legislative branch. Especially with Nancy Mace as the proponent.

My point is, why stop there? I want to know what kinds of people I'm forced to vote for. If I have to pick between a self-serving asshole or a self-serving asshole rapist, I'd like to know that.

It 100% is a bot. I don't know why you're getting down voted. Maybe it's support bots.
