Got_Bent , to lemmyshitpost in This is the way

Ten of the last twelve incoming calls on my phone were scam numbers. I haven’t had the ringer or vibrate turned on for my phone for months so I never notice them. My phone does a pretty good job of blocking them and an outstanding job blocking spam texts

Willy Wonka is furiously amending his payment contract with the oompa loompas right about now.

Won’t somebody think of the chocolate factory and its shareholders?

Got_Bent , to greentext in Homer

I’m fifty one years old and just kinda wanna break down what I’ve seen in my life:

My grandparents generation: Was able to buy housing, get healthcare, receive retirement. Note: They lived through the great depression, and categorically never spent any money that wasn’t necessary, even when they had several boatloads of it.

My parents generation: Housing was achievable but not given (I remember a whole lot of single wides, apartments, and duplexes among the adults of my childhood). Healthcare was affordable. Retirement was promised but not delivered.

My generation: Housing was achievable if you moved to the sticks and loved you some Jesus at the local Baptist Church, but not in the cities. We got a taste of healthcare twenty five years ago, but then yeah no. Retirement? Hahahahaha! We got 401(k)s forced in us, and they never materialized into dick. Many flatout vaporized when our marriages fizzled out.

My kid’s generation. Seriously, just die in the street. You’ll get absolute fuck all nothing, and you’ll like it as the older generations blame you for our fuckups.

My great contribution is that I’ll be able to leave my house free and clear of mortgage to my spawn when I check out. She can live in it, sell it, rent it, burn it to the ground. Whatever she wants, but damnit, I’m giving her the opportunity to do it, which most of her peers will never have.

Got_Bent , to memes in Heavy AF!

I had a 55 inch TV that I bought in 2005 right before flat screens became common. Thing was so heavy it was on wheels.

When it finally died, I used it as a TV stand for my TV.

Got_Bent , to lemmyshitpost in Ever been this bored at work?

I made a functioning slot machine in Excel while bored at work. Got flummoxed at how to keep a running total of wins and losses though.

Got_Bent , to lemmyshitpost in They lied to us

What? Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that sex on the beach doesn’t involve any sand!

Got_Bent , to funny in Good luck!

Good for you and your parents, but it wasn’t common until 1986 when Reagan’s new tax code suddenly required social security numbers for dependents. It was 1987 when they started rolling it out as part of the birth at the hospital.

Your lol no tone implies I don’t remember my own teen years.

Got_Bent , to news in Pornhub disables website in Texas after AG sues for not verifying users’ ages

Just tried it. Yep, no access. Just a long message lambasting Texas politicians.

I tried all the other regular sites, no issues.

They’re gonna need an industry wide cooperation to successfully combat this.

Got_Bent , to funny in Good luck!

I got mine in 1986 and it pretty much looks like the picture.

Fun side note: back then, you didn’t get a social security number until you were old enough to get a job. I was fourteen when I got my social security number.

Got_Bent , to funny in Good luck!

I’ve had to provide the physical card at the start of most jobs I’ve had. What’s that form you fill out? I-9?

Looking at the list of required documents, I may have used a passport at some point as that appears to trump everything, but mine has long since expired and I haven’t been bothered to get a new one.

Got_Bent , to news in The SEC is sick of Elon Musk’s attempts to delay its Twitter investigation

Meanwhile, if I were to skip court for a jaywalking ticket, they’d put a warrant out for my arrest.

Got_Bent , to lemmyshitpost in It is wednesday my dudes

At zombocom!

Got_Bent , to news in Greg Abbott tells musicians "don't come back" to Texas

I don’t think he believes any such thing as his words being legally binding.

He’s just being your run of the mill petulant childish Texan politician with the “nuh uh YOU ARE!” type rhetoric.

Got_Bent , to worldnews in South Korea to suspend doctor licences as strike crisis escalates

I haven’t followed Korean politics since the nineties, so I can offer no opinion on that assertion. I can most certainly see somebody with those characteristics ascending to the Korean presidency though. I’ve no reason to doubt you.

Got_Bent , to technology in European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

Channel change and volume control are all physical buttons on my steering wheel. All feel, no look. To me, that’s the best way it can be. The only time that isn’t useful is if I’m out of town and presets don’t work. For those situations, I’m generally streaming ahead of time.
