The funny part is that if you are actually old enough to have the experience they ‘require’, and look like the distinguished gentleman in the meme, well, it turns out you are too old and feeble to be considered a good fit for the position what with all the health problems age brings…
There, I said it. Had some Wagyu A5, genuine certified import from Japan prepared by an actual chef on a handful of occasions. The last one was on Saturday as part of a business conference in the exec suite of some fancy hotel, talking to potential investors....
Huge difference between your little ‘extravagances’ in your game collection and spending $700 on something you are going to flush down the toilet in a few hours. Yours is a tangible investment, the orher not so much.
47 here… I suppose im at the tail end of the people who still had a chance. We have a house that is half paid off but that needs a new roof, windows, and flooring that we cannot afford to take care of due to inflation screwing everything up. We have 2 cars but they are both 30+ years old and keeping them on the road is taking up most of what free time I have. When we got the mortgage it felt like we had finally ‘made it’ and that future pay increades would allow us to remodel and modernize our ‘fixer upper’ but the intervening 15 years has been an escalating shitshow that has us barely able to maintain what we have in its current state. It is starting to look tempting to liquidate the house and extraneous posessions and buy an old RV and become modern day nomads for our remaining years. The only thing really preventing this is that our 2 adult children are living with us still because there are no jobs that pay enough for them to move out on their own and we are not going to just dump them on the curb and say ‘figure it out’ like my parents did to me…
It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...
I have been using smartphones forever and have never had a plan that did not charge extra for this feature… Granted I have always used verizon, so maybe its a verizon thing?
I live in a little backward town in the middle of nowhere and recently took a trip to San Francisco and I have to say this kind of thing was the biggest culture shock to me… I use my phone to text and look at memes, this is a bridge too far!
Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and...
By the time lunchables showed up in the stores im our small town I was a Jr in high school and was driving over to burger king for $1 whoppers for lunch. Didnt have my first mobile phone until I was forced into getting one for work in 2005…

I don't like Wagyu beef

Does anyone feel like their life is going according to plan?
A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school....
When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
