All religions suck btw I am agnostic but it doesn’t make sense trying to pretend like one religion is morally superior.

If you are like me, you may have had discussions with MAGA friends which ranged from polite to very heated. I dont believe I have EVER convinced anyone I have talked to that MAGA is simply wrong, nevermind evil. Have you? Please tell us what has worked.

They see a homeless person and are like “get a job loser”

They see someone with a minimum wage job and are like “get a real job loser”

So they work hard and climb the corporate ladder and the rich people are like “why do we pay that guy so much, can’t we get by without him?”

Are they really only impressed by business owners and people born wealthy?

?

Because every time I post anything even slightly criticizing boomers or not even criticizing, just simply asking why they aren’t leaving as much money to kids/grandkids or why so many of them don’t seem to want their kids/grandkids to have gov/social help, I get screeched at that “it’s our money we can do what we want,” “why would I leave it to ungrateful little fucks,” or “well they need to figure it out, I had to.”

This is just so strange to me, as somebody whos planning on trying for children next year, I literally want to give them every fucking opportunity and leg up I can. It’s not that I want them to be spoiled but yeah, I want them to know that mom and dad are there and we will always be there to help as long as we physically and financially can. My future kids don’t owe me anything because I will have made them be here.

It just seems that boomers don’t really have that same kind of feelings towards their children/grandchildren. The way I hear some of them talk about younger people, a group of whom their children are often a part of, it’s often just so harsh and disconnected from what those people are actually going through. They seem to have a disdain for their children/grandchildren that I don’t often see from other parents.

So what’s up? Do boomers think their children/grandchildren are entitled? Is life too easy now? What happened?

I’ve been noticing what seems like a growing trend among Boomers, both in the news and in real life conversations about their children and grandchildren, of embracing the idea of “dying with nothing.” Essentially, spending all their money during their lifetime rather than leaving behind an inheritance for future generations.

And I’m curious where this shift in mentality came from.

I understand that older people’s money belongs to them. They’re entitled to enjoy their retirement, travel, pursue hobbies, and spend the money they’ve earned however they want. I’m not arguing that children are automatically entitled to their parents’ wealth.

What confuses me is that Boomers, as a generation, often benefited from economic circumstances and, in many cases, inherited wealth or assets from the Silent and Greatest Generations. Things like family homes, land, savings, and other assets helped some families build generational wealth.

Now, younger generations are facing increasingly expensive housing, education, healthcare, and childcare, and it seems there’s a growing attitude among some older people that their children and grandchildren should simply figure things out for themselves.

What I find very odd is that this sometimes seems to be framed as a point of pride. Not just “I want to enjoy the money I’ve earned,” but “I intend to spend every penny so my children don’t get anything.”

When did leaving something behind for your children stop being viewed as a positive thing and start being framed by some people as enabling entitlement?

I (30F) don’t consider myself a conventionally attractive woman by any standard, yet I’d say most people I’ve dated have treated me exceptionally well despite that, and I’ve never been cheated on or abused AFAIK. I see a lot of posts, screenshots etc. of beautiful women sharing stories of being absolutely berated by their partners, getting called names, having their physical appearance/weight insulted, even being physically abused and I don’t understand it, especially when they stay with them. Why wouldn’t the man want to treat a beautiful woman like gold, and why would such an attractive woman settle for being treated like dirt when she could have so much better? What’s the psychology behind this?

Shits wack

Edit: everyone can stop getting angry we are using our ninja creamy and having ice cream, all is forgiven.

Non perrishablesive heard other countries are being told to do this, is this fear mongering or is something bad going to happen ? My sister aaid she has seen this all over twitter.. what are your thoughts on this?!

Obviously, when looking to create an atomic bomb, you need a large amount of fissile material. But why bother using extremely complicated and expensive isotope separation when there are reactor designs like CANDU that can run on natural uranium concentrations? It's much easier to chemically extract Plutonium-239 bred from Uranium-238 than it is to painstakingly sort U-238 from U-235, and when using reactors that can operate on extremely low enriched fuels, you can avoid enriching uranium at all. So why do governments trying to aquire nuclear weapons, like Iran, bother with enrichment?

I truly feel I am the only one.

Sushi is so gross to me. When I tried it all I could think of is this is left over rice, rolled over leftover meat and left over expired vegetables.

It is tepid and gross.

When I was a kid I was fixing a puncture hole in my bike tires. I had to put my mouth up to the hole for some reason. It had a distinct flavor. Later in life I tried wasabi and it tastes like compressed air similar to that tire taste.

That is sushi to me. A roll of leftovers that tastes like tires and compressed air.

I truly feel I am missing out and forced myself to try it. I hate it. So when my friends all decide on sushi I get Yakitori. It’s way good.

One time I ordered Yakitori and the waitress forced me to try a California roll convinced I would love it.

Again, I felt that I was the problem and ordered one. Hated it.

Tasted like leftovers and tires and compressed air with some sweet dressing on top.

Please tell me that I’m not the only one.

I know they generally wouldn’t like they do in the UK and other countries, but it’s got me wondering if they sometimes do or would to be sentimental.

I don’t get it at all. Why would a woman even do that? What’s the compelling force? Does she think it makes her look tougher? I can’t understand what’s interesting or attractive about it. It just seems purely trashy to me. From a sexual standpoint why would I want to a piece of metal in my mouth? A piece of metal that is going through her skin.

I feel like scrubbing would be over kill they are getting washed the entire time you are showing

I saw someone post about their success. But people just downvoted all his comments into oblivion.

Looking for some laughs, just for fun

.

Wondering what changes with time and if anything can be done to deal with that despite communication often?

Seriously makes me super mad that the government says we can't. If we are both adults why should we be stopped?

I thought it would be more interesting

Seems like the demand for people will be dramatically less so what’s the point in bringing more people in? Seems like declining birth rates + stopping immigration can meet the natural, lower demand to come

With the biggest and possibly best every video game being released in a few weeks, have you booked time off work to play it continuously?
