Only another 120k to go!

They suggest a 30+ for everyone nearly everywhere if you don't want to look like a leather sack at 70.

Naw. She's 40. Some people just don't have reflexes for driving and know it. Some people do it anyway and those are the people you see who get 30 fender benders. Also by not driving she saves us probably 10 grand a year in insurance, gas, and auto maintenance. We live in a small town anyway, so driving is pretty much unimportant.

My dad did say that I would be a taxi for the rest of my life when I told him she didn't drive, but also he married someone 30 years younger than him to be his nurse maid for the rest of his life, so he's a bit of a hypocrite.

Yeah my best friend literally just bummed rides off us till he came back from college.

It is known that Millennials hate driving. Half of my younger peers growing up didn't even bother. They just made their parents or boyfriends drive them around. This is now me, driving my SO around.

That's probably when they started forcing usage too on all new windows installs. And even with that, 90% of the time edge is opened so you can download Chrome, Brave, or Firefox.

Poor impulse control leads to weight gain, I've always figured. But do the parents also have poor impulse control?

Ah, the woodlands jerk shack. Classic.

That's what she said

They can fire you for refusing to come back from a strike. But you can also quit and find a new job that respects you. hah, I kid.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Yeah I don't think you can fine or arrest people who quit.

Aww, now you have to pay him unemployment!

Couldn't they just like... still not go to work? I don't understand people.

Sadly a lot of studies have found that Mars doesn't have enough gravity to actually hold an atmosphere.

I mean if they can launch missiles from hundreds of miles off shore, I don't see why they would ever become obsolete unless combat moves entirely off planet or somehow we all declare permanent peace. (space fighting is more likely sigh)

Then goes back to work after he pays 45% taxes on it.

Innocent by virtue of stupidity your honor!

Ask him when he's going to replace your old position.

But sadly, the old adage comes back into play. "The reward for a job well done is more work"

Wow that was removed fast. I don't believe this post existed!

Yeah, and demand for fresh potable water is only likely to grow.

However thawing meltwaters from glaciers and icepacks may counter out some of that salinity. I'm not quite up on the ocean science for that though at present.

I hope I live long enough to get sent off to a space retirement community. AI overlords bless.

Somehow google was able to find this for me after I spouted out a random garble of " that book about the nuclear bombs and spaceships and alien invasions..."

AI has come for the job of the bookstore owner who people used to ask dumb questions to.

He is pretty cringe

It honestly might work. But it's not being developed by him, a lot smarter people are thinking about it. If you accelerate smoothly you wouldn't even feel it.
