Come on now, you're making soylent green sound so industrial and devoid of feeling.

They will!

It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks, and become one with all the people.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang

Boomers are starting to become homeless. Their kids the millennials will have it worse, as most millennials can't afford a starter home. Retirement will look like homelessness for many of them.

I had the full run of the The Office on video. I had video editing software. I had it all planned out, how I was going to edit out 90% the Jim scenes from The Office, so I could play the whole thing on loop without intro or outro or the worst parts of the last two seasons.

Then I stared in the mirror for a long time and I was like: wtf am I doing with my life? And I haven't watched The Office since.

Dwight is literally a fascist and usually only falls for Jim's pranks because of his fascism

To be fair basically every futurama character (except maybe Fry) is a bully

But I love watching it for some reason.

Futurama has good science and absurdists jokes, but there is a LOT on Futurama that has not aged well at all, especially from a gender and sexuality standpoint.

Hell yeah, based gramps.

I just hope that the current crisis in the US is a hallmark of the downfall of American capitalism and that the status quo can change long term. Remains to be seen if that’d be good or bad, though.

On top of the fact that you need to have saved money to pay to live in a retirement home.

Are... Are there people that sort of really hope to just go from their patents' basement to a retirement home?

Right?! I don't know any millennial whose retirement plan isn't just hitting a certain age and killing ourselves.

Hopefully the younger generations use our bones to build a better society.

Knowing people, they'll use them to bash each other in the face, more likely...

A major problem is that the demographics for Millennial retirement are a lot worse than for Boomers. Boomers at least had a decent number of millennials to help support them in retirement.

MTX so crazy in RS now (RS3) that you’ll likely have to pay to move every click by then

The older I get (40's now), the more I think about how I probably won't be able to fully enjoy video games like I thought i would. My vision which was always perfect is starting to show issues already, whenever I pick up a game I almost always nod off or fall asleep within an hour or 2 and almost nothing prevents it. My hands will sometimes lose sensation and I have to drop my hand down and stretch it to regain feeling... I feel like I'll be like that guy in the twilight zone who outlived everyone and was finally able to read all the books he ever wanted but then immediately stepped on his glasses.

Yeah smash destroys the hands of 30 years olds in the scene.

What I'm looking forward to in retirement is finally cracking into games like Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, and Caves of Qud

Fine, hearts of iron; all the survivors will be weird esoteric fascists by then anyway.

"Meh."

My Gen Z cousin had zero respect for me til they PvP'd me on an old-school Street Fighter arcade machine.

I'll be listening to Nirvana and playing Symphony of the Night in my room. You're welcome to come down the hall to hang out any time.

And not from the pent-up rage about the world in flames, somehow.

Apparently there are 13 different adaptations. I kinda like the Australian one.

I think you mean retirement LANs. I'm going to party like it's 1999.

I'll bring the glow sticks!

Yeah i am stoked to be dropping tabs and listening to MGMT when i am 70
