Around 19, I’d say. 42 now.

Try to find a job you enjoy from 9-5. That means focusing on activities you enjoy that are the main activity of said job. I worked in a pet store because it afforded me 30% of my time playing with puppies, even though the remaining 70% was cleaning puppy shit and stocking goods. I now work as a therapist because I spend 70% of my time talking to people about their problems (which I enjoy), and 30% doing paperwork and correspondence. Make your job something you enjoy most of them time and it gets much easier. Then, you retire and collect Social Security. As long as you’ve worked for most of your life, that’ll be a decent retirement. You’ll have to live frugally, but it’ll be livable.

Also, if you can manage it, invest $10,000 as early as you can in a stock market index fund and pay for a fund manager. By the time you retire, that will provide you with a substantial cushion to rest on.

Quest for Glory series. Got me into RPGs.

Honest question: how are baby killers treated by other inmates in American prisons?

It was so traumatizing he had to go see Richard Dreyfus for therapy.

This is the move Trump needs to make if he wants to become a true dictator. You need the military protecting you from the populace if you’re going to consolidate absolute power. If he starts purging the military brass, that’s a confirmation that he’s planning to be president for life.

There’s been a few. Not many. They seem like they’re the type that’s just in denial, not maliciously trying to smokescreen his ill intent.

OR…you could just have sex and start families with men who support women’s rights?

I have a feeling this extremist “solution” is just disguised misandry from a bunch of extremist feminists.

Ah well, thanks for selecting yourselves out of the gene pool, I guess?

They’re protesting no sex against a rapist?

Yeah, I can’t imagine how this is going to turn out….

The Miracle of Life?

That’s a limerick conservative parents tell themselves to feel better about their rebellious kids.

And not what I’m talking about at all.

As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.

Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.
