I like how they're saying they're avoiding driving, and not that they can't afford it. Cash for clunkers did away with the old beater, and with supply chain constriction the used car market is inverted and there is like 4 models of car in the US below 20,000. Federal minimum wage hasn't budged.

there’s an article going around that summarizes a study that found kids aren’t loving or driving or anything anymore. i looked up the original study and it seems pretty obvious from this chart what happened

Early on they have an episode where a Republican-coded (by modern standards, at least) senator is trying to cut their funding. Which is probably the single most unrealistic thing in the science-fiction show about U.S. Air Force people going through portal rings to other planets to learn about other cultures and fight aliens.

To be fair if republicans found out they were learning about other cultures they would probably try to cut their funding

Q. Upset in Aisle 7: Recently my brother-in-law told a “joke” about how the local supermarket chain must think his dead grandmother has an incredible appetite for a 107-year-old because he still uses her discount card (technically he keys in her old phone number) when he goes shopping.

This may seem like a low-key issue, but it really bothers my partner. After high school, she was on her own and worked for this supermarket for years while putting herself through college. This job played a significant role in her growth into the person she is today. She considers many of her former coworkers like de facto family members. So, to this day, she remains fiercely loyal to this chain.

She says it’s considered fraud to use someone else’s discount card because it creates bad data for the supermarket’s marketing purposes, especially if someone else has been assigned that phone number and applied for a card. When she explained this to my brother-in-law, he dismissed her concern as unimportant. My sister also didn’t see why this was a big deal. I think the big deal is it bothers my partner. How hard is it to get your own discount card? It’s a small thing he could do out of concern for a family member. Am I wrong for being so miffed about this?

This was in 2013, so he was only in his mid-60s. Old, but the dude was a professional athlete.

My question is how the gently caress did Louie Anderson, who was in his late 50s at the time and not exactly known for being a paragon of health not loving die?

Meanwhile whenever I go to the grocery store and say I don't have the thing they have one taped to the cash register they scan instead so I still get the discount because who the gently caress cares.
