They had to update the definition because there were so many goddamned posers who hadn’t even heard of The Cure

If you put the context of the “goth culture” onto any other subculture, it starts to become painfully obviously how strange its evolution is

Seeing the early 2000s portrayed in The Last of Us show is indeed pretty weird, with all the period-specific references and so on. It’s just now become that long ago

Health is everything. Some have good health at 85 others don't. Late 50s are already painful, I can't imagine being anything but a ball of pain at 85.

I do! My niece is a goth, but also as someone who is on the alternative-side in her mid-30s I guess I also go to some places I’m likely to see goths (gigs and bars and such). But I suppose just out and about in general perhaps not so much, hmm, now I’m not sure, I’ll be on the look out!

You’re right! Continuing the highly scientific practice of using the first page of google results, it looks like the participation rate is about 80%. Personally, $5 seems high to me, and 1% inflation is obviously a little low, so I think we can probably assume the real Fairy inflation rate must be somewhere below 0.16% of GDP.

There are people in Silicon Valley who have a million dollars who can't afford to buy a house. Hard to feel rich when you rent.

I’m talking USD

In the movie The Mitchells Vs The Machines home movies of the main character (a young college aged girl) as a little girl and the date on the movies is 2005! I was a pre-teen at that time, so showing flashbacks in a movie of someone as a little kid during that time makes me feel super old.

Agreed but more to the point, the future doesn't look very good considering all things emerging at the same time, robotics, AI, fusion, climate change, inverted population growth.

Already the cracks are appearing, COVID was just the first modern hurdle we faced and like a Fatman trying to launch over it we jammed our balls hard on the hurdle and ate pavement face first.

We are not going to have it any easier as disruptions become a regular way of life leaving billions poor, hungry and dumb. The society that will exist in 2100 will be unimaginable to us despite it only being a lifetime away.

yes, its based on the notion of younger people never having to scroll for their birth year and referring to adults in their 20's and up as 'Old'.

​

it did however used to be a good indicator of when you were an adult as lists always had 20+ years before you had to scroll. mobile layouts and better website design have changed that.

Oh I see, so you weren’t actually saying what you were saying. Sorry, it’s hard to tell sarcasm on the internet. So what you actually meant was that scrolling to find your birth year ISN’T actually a good indicator of knowing when you’re old

for some one making a sarcastic comment you really struggled to identify the sarcasm in my post. looks like you haven't had to scroll yet

I wonder if he even pays the elves anything. They should probably unionize, that is sweatshop-tier exploitation.

Over 20+ years, I you take 4% per year out while making 7-10% on average, your portfolio will grow with inflation. That's not guaranteed, but it pretty much works out that way.

Color coding. Cherry is already red, strawberry is pink even though strawberries are red, raspberries are blue for some weird reason, watermelon is a slightly different pink than strawberry, apple is green, lime is a yellow green, grape is purple even though green grapes exist.
