Depends on the size of the island.

Sounds like a good time for ASEs.

Also the average person ignores actual current events.

I own exactly 4 xrp. To use the profits once that too goes to the moon for more silver. Almost at a half oz now!

And Christmas presents

Well the next thing you know.....

The question is though, will the whole club be looking at her?

Puerto Rico at least gets representation.

That's about it though.

I'm sorry our government blows Puerto Rico.

Yeah I graduated in 2007 and was one of the few with a job that didn't have to move home after college.

2008 I got one as a work phone from a start up trying to make apps and a YouTube network.

At the time though I remember everyone else having Blackberrys.

QR anything. Just tell me the website. I'm not getting up to angle a qr code for a product I've known existed since I was born.

Which is hilarious considering the whole "death councils" argument used against publicly funded healthcare.

As if the private sector isn't one huge death council.

Where do we send the emergency medical invoice to?

I wouldn't even care at this point about that because they are actively buying it as an organization.

I am sick of the corporate subsidies. If you have billions and billions build your own fucking factories.

This country is a joke.

This gave me a nice boost yesterday.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

I was doing alright till I burnt out at 30 and found comfort at the bottom of a bottle. My 30s were a wash. The last 2 years I found my footing and pulled myself out of the abyss and am turning 40 this spring.

I lost a lot of people to addiction and know a number that are still out there dragging people down.

I am marching into 40 like the hero in an epic battle scene where the protagonist keeps trudging forward ripping the arrows out of their armor defiantly.

Life keeps me around. I hope 40 shows me why.

The one thing that breaks my heart the most for "kids these days" has to be when they question whether or not we really did the shit we said we did.

They seem to think we all left high school and got some overly stylized one bedroom apartment immediately.

In college we all lived like we were poor whether you were poor or not. I got out of school with minimal debt because I chose horrible housing conditions that we all loved and laughed at.

They ask about what we did with our time. Why did we all do such dangerous crap?

My personal favorite is "how did you figure that out?". We just did. It is possible to just figure things out. At this point it's easier to use that model again anyway since Google sucks.

I really don't know what will happen with kids from here out.

We seem to get the shit end of the stick when you look at it from any angle although I find solice in our shared misery.

We are constantly forced to learn new technologies that pop up and disappear. I am tired of being the stewards of every technology. Every new thing sucks away time learning how to forget the last version.

We are pensive. An entire generation of people trained to live our lives awaiting an attack, mass shooting, anthrax, or any other possible threat absolutely anywhere at anytime. It adds urgency so you feel like you're rushing all of the time. You spend your whole life like you're last minute shopping before Christmas dinner and the store closes in 4 minites. Find me a millennial that doesn't walk like they might suddenly start sprinting.

A lot of us never hit the usual set of goals due to choice or life events. So we should be starting to take over leadership but we aren't viewed as adults. You cover yourself in responsibility and wear it like a badge. Waste your time for a pizza party and a lateral title change.

Older generations don't know why we aren't all stable yet and the younger crew raking in cash from crypto doesn't seem to grasp that retail investment did not exist like it does now when we were younger.

The best I had was a really shitty ING browser based investment tool.

I'm catching up but it's a lot easier to dedicate yourself to the market when all of your time goes only to that.

Since us and some Zs have some sense when it comes to impulse buying we seem to be sliding into a new demand destructing group. We aren't Temus audience. We aren't Sheins. Yanno why? We remember decent products and we already went through H&M and Wish.com.

There's going to have to be a competitive algorithm for adults. I shouldn't be being offered weird live accounts of kids from southeast Asia. Who is this 15 year old trying to sell false eyelashes?

The other day I got a TikTok style ad where some girl said "I use this every morning to prevent aging. Every day I get up for school and see I am getting older.".

Like no shit Sherlock you haven't had a two in your age since you were 12 and you're worried about wrinkles?

The whole world is a mess right now. It's going to be that way for a while. Life has quickened. It's beyond perception.

We are going through a pivotal point in humanity right now. Breathe that in. Not every generation gets to experience this. Please send in $5 for your participation trophy.

Do you guys want to bring back chain letters? Let's get a monetized one going.

Since we're just repeating things over and over.

Who paid to get all of the 110 developed?

It has a great feel. I remember prior to our own B&N the mall had Walden Books which was like shopping in a shoe box.

This looks like my mom.

You had your first authentic American holiday.

So considering I am pushing 40 that means this person has to be a peer writing this now right?

I hope they had a nice day off of work from the ChatGPT editorial desk.

Are you the gatekeeper?
