I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck ‘by doing commentary’, leave me the fuck alone
As a boomer, I learned to believe in slow, steady and hard work. Combined with saving. Get-rich-quick never works & greed is despicable.
The problem is that there aren’t even ways to “get rich slow” anymore. And saving? Good fucking luck when rent alone is half your monthly income and your grocery bill has gone up 30% since the pandemic.
Yes, it’s not unlike when I was young 🤓 still: we should tax the rich. Instead of making bezos Zuckerberg et al rich, we should tax the rich.
It really, definitely is
You weren’t there, but I’m here; with kids too. I can compare, times were different back then but not better.
Buddy, you used to be able to buy a home and go on a yearly vacation on one salary from a person who did not go to college. It’s not even close to the same
im an Xer so never experienced it but saw it and wow. it would be nice.
That’s relative. I had a just a few wooden toys, people were old at 55, cancer killed people, there was hardly any diagnostics and few medicines. Lgtbq people didn’t “exist”, gays were heavily discriminated against. Mobbing was fully accepted. Sure, looking back has a romantic ring to it, but I wouldn’t want to go back. Back then and today: best is to count your blessings.
jobs out of high school with pensions is a pretty big effing deal. Im wishing I die by 55 before I lose my house.
