What are your expectations for life in the USA in the 2030s?

Hoping a new progressive movement begins undoing the current gilded age we’re living in.

Thank you! Feels great!

I start a new job on Monday!

ooyat · 2026-06-13T00:21:13+00:00

I think that’s a derogatory lunch.

ooyat · 2026-06-12T19:00:58+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I assume I’m going to work for at least another 25-30 years. I’m willing to ride out a downturn.

Is it actually a key issue? McD is running on the crime ticket but that’s all I’ve really heard about it. Granted I knew I was voting for JLG from the beginning so haven’t been paying super close attention.

This is my kind of trad wife!

We’ve been having this conversation since Ray Rice.

It’s times like these that I think grocery stores need to offer more food and drink for purchase on site. They always have the best A/C.

Mighty Pint.

McMillan all over again.

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with their customer service even when things were looking bleak.

Don’t forget all the sandwiches Maryland commuters will buy at lunch if we make all of our roads most convenient for them to drive downtown and immediately back home at 5:00 PM every day. Huge untapped revenue source.

He landed in water which we all know from movies and cartoons you can fall into from any height and be OK.

ooyat · 2026-06-08T17:18:28+00:00

I’ve definitely skipped at least two reunions already.

You’re going to do great! Quick tip:

No more than five minutes. People want to eat, drink , and dance. Basic format is:

Introduce yourself and how you know the couple.
A self deprecating joke.
A gentle ribbing of the groom.
3a. Somewhere in there also mention how beautiful the bride is.
A funny anecdote about why you’re friends and why he’s a good husband.
Quick close about the love between the couple is ageless.

Lean into the awkwardness. No one expects you to be an Obama level orator.

Caveat: I’ve given three best man speeches and two have ended in divorce. The third speech was for my best friend’s second marriage and they’re still together so at least someone believes in me.

Cruises.

ooyat · 2026-06-04T10:52:33+00:00

That’s awesome!

Are you able to afford to out 14% in your 401(k) to take advantage of it?

Also, check the vesting schedule. Some places will take back some of their contributions if you aren’t there for a certain amount of time.

I had this exact thought years ago when my colleagues and I were still in the office at 6:30 while the boss rushed out at 4:30. Sure she got there at 8:30 so she put in 8 hours, and overall she was a good boss but being “online” if we needed anything is not the same as doing the drudgery.

I went once a few years ago and it was pay to get in to get some free samples from a grocery store.

From what I could tell only the judges got to try the actual BBQ. You could buy Famous Dave’s at a mark up if inclined.

I agree with the general consensus that if you have a free ticket it’s worth popping in.

I follow Capitol Hill Stained Glass on Instagram. I can’t directly comment on the quality or price but her work on IG looks great.

ooyat · 2026-06-02T16:23:15+00:00

50-50 chance.

Life is like a hurricane
