I am currently 29 but work in payroll retirement auditing. So I actually know a little about people not retiring.

I work in the education system, and people who work in the education/public sector have a HARD time not coming back to work. Our retirement agencies have gotten stricter and stricter with retirees working after retirement.

Why? Well people who work in public and education system usually work their entire life in the industry. Especially teachers and admin. And they honestly don't know what to do with themselves. They don't know how to handle freedom.

They have been institutionalized. If you have seen shawshank redemption you will have a good understanding of what that means. Here's a quick clip from the movie.

I have read testimonies from other people who have gone through economic/political instability and hardship. What i got out of it is that prepping will help for a week to a month maybe. But after that preppers just feel dumb after that as all that work didn't mean much long term.

The only thing that universally matters is having community ties. Unfortunately.... USA aren't very community friendly or even have the opportunity to create strong local bonds. As all community events are during work hours so only retired people part take in those.

At the end of the day there is no reason not to. Not like it takes any effort or costs anything.

That being said, I usually won't the closer I am to home/on my main commute. Why? Because I'm driving next to the same people every day. The same work truck with a giant butterfly on it and that one dumb ass looking cyber truck. Along with the other 100 other commuters the same day.

Civ 3 was my first civ. I loved putting like a 100 units on the same tile.

I was thinking of civ 6 specifically though.

I have such a nuanced opinion of Nintendo.

I would prefer to pay for high prices to a company that has the reputation of "consistently fun no matter what (unless its online)".

Why? Because I am tired of paying a 'good' price for other media (or any goods/services) with a bunch of hidden aggressive enshitification. I know that when I buy mario kart, I am getting mario kart.

Can't say the same for most other stuff, especially AAA video games. Nintendo might ask for high prices, but they deliver their product. And that is what I was promised in a capitalist economy, but rarely get it. So I am 'happy' as long as Nintendo doesn't screw me individually.

BUT!!!

Fuck Nintendo for what they have done historically to the smash community. I won't forget.

Damn I love building railway systems in civ for my army. Something so satisfying about it.

We got to free Luigi so he can fix the god awful UI issues of Civ VII ASAP!

The heart from your hate in my ass

I can only imagine that EU is just quietly finding ways to not be dependent on the US right now.

What Trump is doing/does is unacceptable. But US citizens have been groomed to accept everything from their perceived leader.

EU has not been groomed to accept these things. They know to just ignore while they can and get ready for a trade war, cold war, or any sort of war.

Cool.

Your party has proven that one can avoid taxes, but I don't think you can avoid death as well.

Does anyone know about any other self-hosted/open source projects that are like this? As in, "everyone" could find these useful?

Other ones I know about are Mealie (cookbook) and Warracker (Warranty Tracker).

Good.

Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.

This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.

Now... well... there is no escape apparently.
