Every single social networking site is desperately chasing whatever the current high growth site is instead of just getting better at the unique niche thier specific site is in and the result is they all die because people join and go to that site for that niche. Like gently caress you Snapchat you are to share funny pictures and throwaway comments with my friends stop trying to trick me in to sharing everything publicly. gently caress you Facebook stop shoving reels down my throat and making it impossible to block the groups you constantly suggest. gently caress you linked in you are a resume site don’t try and make me make posts. And so on.

Ammanas posted:i mean I doubt thats true but its very common for men to retire and die soon after, its an interesting correlation between losing purpose and meaning (insanely sad), lacking structure to prevent turning into an unmoving potato/indulging in bad habits and retiring only when they're literally unable to keep working. I'm sure there's more to the story re: people who die a week later, sounds like a forced retirement for health reasons, but the general situation where people are so boring that they never recover from retiring is real, and horrifying. A lot of people are just so owned, and so lame, that when they stop receiving their Life Marching Orders via the two ways that happens (work and children) these people realize they are the universe's equivalent to a cup of stale coffee and haven't had an original or interesting thought of their own volition for 40 years because they've just been doing what they are forced to do and nothing else. Don't let things you Must do, become the only thing you Actually do. It happens to so, so many people. Life is so full of wonder and lols, the fact that so many people seem completely unable to interact with it unless they are forced to. It's so sad. Grow up, work a lovely job, have kids, retire and wait to die. Awesome work everyone Taima has issued a correction as of 15:32 on Mar 28, 2024 |

My father in law is going through that right now, retired four or five years ago and he’s become a ghost of himself. Used to talk about the little carpentry projects he was going to work on, now he just sits in the living room and stares at the TV all day.

Mr Hootington posted:The common sentiment for the bridge I'm seeing is people are getting "angry" that Biden is saying the government will pay to fix it but that is MY tax dollars and I think the insurance should pay for it. What I am seeing is people getting really angry about it because it could somehow make Biden look bad that a bridge fell down, so they are furiously telling people that NO BRIDGE could EVER survive the collision, lest anyone think that the bridge collapsing (or not being protected by the use of barriers) reflects badly upon Biden

i made my LinkedIn account back like ten years ago when it was kind of just a resume site. I reactivated my account recently after my company did layoffs and it is the most deranged thing I’ve seen on the internet. it’s truly a cursed place, my feed was filled with absolutely psychotic posting about value and leadership and a bunch of boomers posting selfies at sales conferences alongside quotes. filled me with dread

Used to talk about the little carpentry projects he was going to work on, now he just sits in the living room and stares at the TV all day. One of the better pieces of advice I've been given is to have more interests and hobbies than your time and money can support, and to become invested in them long before you have the energy to manage it. Which is definitely kind of its own brand of bullshit, but it also gets to the core point that "having hobbies" is not something you can just develop out of thin air one day. You're not going to do all those little carpentry projects after you retire if you're not already doing them before you retire.

Every boomer's plan for retirement was to buy an RV and go visit all the national parks and now RVs are ungodly expensive and the parks are all completely packed with people.

It's like a dark mirror of Facebook (where people only post their good pictures of the fun things they did and omit the tedium of their lives), except on LinkedIn it's like watching all the people you've ever worked with doing a macabe puppet dance where they compete to be named most cucked by management.

This was my parents plan. They bought a fifth-wheel and they did it for a little while, but pulling a fifth-wheel in an unknown state with all the traffic is stressful, and all the parks and camp grounds were booked solid people just like them so it could be hard to find a place to stay. Now they do the stay at home and stare at the TV/internet thing all day and the fifth-wheel sits in storage.

When it comes down to it, buying a fifth wheel and going to national parks is just the same poo poo: consume treat. Tourism isn't a hobby.

My dad has a vegetable garden and he enjoys tending to the yard, so he has that. My poor mom just watches foreign tv shows on Netflix and goes insane from politics on the internet. She thought about learning piano and I tried to encourage her, but she doesn't have the space for a keyboard she says. She did go on a diet and lose a bunch of weight, so I guess she hasn't fallen completely into the retirement depression spiral.

The RV thing is always a loving stupid plan because it's not a thing you want to do when you're old. The reason cruises are full of olds is that it's an entirely curated experience that doesn't require you to, you know, drive a loving massive vehicle for hours every day. It feels like half of my mom's friends had this exact same plan and the only one who actually managed to buy the RV never uses it.

My mother in law retired a couple years ago, and when she tried to volunteer at a charity fixing donated bikes to give to homeless folks, she got run off for bossing the paid employees around because “she could fix them better.” For reference, she is not a retired bicycle mechanic. so she graduated to blowing up her relationships and friendships as a hobby instead.

I think an RV to use to visit grandkids or to go tailgating at football games is probably a good time still. they look like hell to drive tho. they get passes by truckers which must suck

I spent three days with my folks last summer and realized they're the most miserable assholes I know. Whenever we watched TV, they complained about what we were watching. Whenever we drove somewhere, they complained about the radio. The only thing they enjoyed was going to restaurants. Just a totally joyless existence outside of treats.
