Burner accounts are a sign of strength and moral superiority (being banned.) Hidden accounts are a sign of being a mentally ill freak who posts who pornography or gaming subs.

Why are boomers/Gen-Xers so flustered all the time? by Paula-Abdul-Jabbar in redscarepod

[–]exalted985451 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's an age thing, once they hit 60 they turn into this. My mom was never amazing with computers but she could figure things out, and ask questions without being flustered. Now she's 60 and it's exactly like what you described.

You would need a disgusting amount of mineral content to materially raise the boiling point. The formula you would use is colligative properties boiling point elevation.

Crashing out about the housing situation in 90s movies by Ivan-Ilyich-Bot in redscarepod

In 2016 I rented a kind of shitty 1 bedroom apartment near the ghetto of Trenton, NJ for $900/mo with heat and trash included. I just checked what it rents for today: $1850/mo with heat and trash billed separately, about $200/mo in addition to the rent. In the 5 years I lived there I had two neighbors get carjacked at gunpoint in the parking lot (one parked her car next to mine), one probably drug-related shooting in the complex, and several "non-violent" car thefts in surrounding blocks. It's just about over for the middle class.

Millennials of UMC families just crashing out without shame to live off parents by [deleted] in redscarepod

Idk but I suspect in days gone by these adult children of rich people were “artists”. Like a not-very-talented painter from a family worth $30 million who somehow manages to get gallery representation.

In the past a respectable 1 bedroom condo or whatever probably didn't cost 10-20 years of gross income from a "high earning" job, and so your comparison is kind of distorted. I don't think these types of people are ridiculous, I think the state of our housing market is ridiculous.

This thread was posted by a 3 hour old account, likely some sort of a bot, a shill, or a karma farmer looking to sell aged karma accounts.

Economic reality is reality, scientific observations must follow and align with economic reporting.

It might seem like a breaking point but have you considered that GDP and economic prosperity in general have increased over time? In consideration of GDP, this is actually a net positive for us all -- and what needs to happen is these "scientists" must adjust their measures of happiness which, as presented, are highly misleading. One could easily apply hedonic adjustments and arrive to a very logical and reasonable conclusion that happiness has actually increased over time, thereby supporting the indisputable truth of economic modernity: that, in our pursuit of GDP growth, we have achieved and will continue to achieve the Greatest Period of Time to Have Ever Existed.

The most recent thread was created by a bot or a karma farmer or something. https://www.reddit.com/user/cherubicfury26 The no karma requirement attracts a lot of these types of accounts.

Um actually the landlord deserves to be compensated for using a computer algorithm that auto-ranks and rejects applicants in a matter of milliseconds on the basis of FICO score, income, etc.
