Sex
As
A
Service
Literally the oldest profession.
For just $19.99/mo the sex can be yours. Upgrade to our $29.99 package and you won’t have commercials.
No way, that'd be too convenient. They'll probably make that illegal as soon as they find out someone thought of it.
I can barely afford rent at 40; how the fuck am I going to afford to raise a kid?
puts hand on shoulder son, we've got to talk about your avocado toast
Don't forget all the Starbucks coffee!
Instead of buying that latte, why don't you instead buy some bootstraps and pull on them
For those who don't know, this phrase has come full circle.

It started as something literally impossible. Then people started using it to say they did it anyway. Expecting what is supposed to be impossible out of people is insane.
It's literally a joke rich people use to show how stupid poor people are.
Then just walk in, demand to see the Big Boss, say Good Morning Sir, and ask for the job!
That phrase is just something the rich tell the poor to get them to bend over.
The media really gave me unrealistic expectations about how much money my dislike of avocado was going to save me.
"There's never going to be a good time for it. We didn't have a lot of money when I had mine. You just learn to sacrifice for them."
Motherfucker, I just ate ramen for dinner.
And the rich are even buying up trailer parks to squeeze money out of the people there, so even becoming trailer park trash with kids is unaffordable.
Who said anything about raising it? You just need to have the kid, and then the orphan crushing machine will take over from there
I just straight up wouldn’t want to be born so why would I do that to someone?
Microplastics are stored in the balls.
So the next generation's children will be GI Joes and Barbies. No thank you, I'd rather not have any Mattel products for kids.
Downloading cum is so easy, come on be realistic
As a boomer-adjacent 60-year-old, with an adult son living at home, it's the economy, stupid.
But, more than that, the world has gone to shit. And, no, that's not the boomer generation's fault. It's the fault of the billionaires and the ignorant people of all generations who have voted for conservatives over the past 50 years.
Millennials were not voting 50 years ago.
Over the last 50 years includes 0 years, 1 years, even 2 and 3 up to 4 or 5 years ago. Probably even more who knows.
Sure but they were alive and voted sometime over the past 50 years. And some of them deffo voted for shit politicians. I’m really not sure what your comment is trying to say.
Their comment is rightfully pointing out the lions share of responsibility Boomers have for the state of American politics.
And I’m trying to point out that generations are a spook meant to divide us instead of us focussing on the actual problem, billionaires.
No war but class war.
No war but class war.
Tell that to the boomers. 🤷♂️
"And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
Yeah it comes down to the fact that the boomers were the largest generation for 54 years, their reign ending in 2019. So they played a large role in getting us to this fucked up place. And now Millennials are the largest generation, and we need to figure out how to unfuck it.
As an Australian looking at the US political system, it is fucked in a way that voting can never fix. It simply isn't a democracy in anything other than name.
Over here I can vote for someone other than the two major parties and my vote will actually count for something. In the USA you're basically throwing your vote in the bin unless you vote for horrible party A or slightly less horrible party B.
Australia is basically a exstension of the US, if you vote in anyone who isn't what the US wants the CIA will make sure they get removed.
You’re right about America but your country is on the same exact path which means your generation is making the same mistakes of not doing anything about it.
Basically I think the Australia can be saved by the people voting but I don't think the USA system can. We have some problem with gerrymandering in the lower and upper houses, voting is not exactly proportional because of that, but there are actually minor parties and independents sitting in parliament and holding the balance of power. Just this last week the governing Labor party is trying to pass budget and tax reform, which they can only do by getting the leftist Greens party to vote with them. This tax reform shifts taxation away from income and onto assets such as property and shares to make things more equitable.
We have our problems, sure, but an unchallenged head of state and a failing democracy is not one of them. If conservatives or centrists are in government here it's because the Australian people voted for them, and every person's vote counted via preference flows if their #1 choice didn't make it in. If conservatives or centrists are in government in the USA it's because there was literally nobody else to vote for.
You also vote for the party here, not the prime minister, and the party can throw out their prime minister any time they want. Or the governor general can fire them. Both of these things have actually happened in recent times. As far as I'm aware, Nixon after watergate was the only president to actually lose office and he resigned rather than getting thrown out.
Greatest and silent generations laughing their asses off at the boomers taking all the heat for the state of the world. Previous generations would also be laughing if they weren't dead.
You really need to look at the size difference between Boomers and Silent generation to understand how ridiculous that claim is. Not to mention once Boomers started feeling represented their voting participation rates shot up. They have dominated the U.S. political landscape for well over four decades.
We could have turned out and stopped the boomers but we continued to let them vote us down and, eventually, rig it against us.
Hanging chads!
Who'd you vote for in the 2020 primaries?
I maxed out my donation to Bernie and voted for him. In the 40 years I've been voting, I've never voted for a conservative, or Republican, neither federal, state nor local. I've always voted as far left as I can.
Bernie pin:

Damn, you got me. I totally blanked on that primary. Bernie 2.0! Not OP, sorry.
I just ask because I was phone banking for that primary and occasionally I ended up on the phone with a registered Republican for whatever reason. They were cordial and I was able to tell them why I thought Bernie was the best candidate among the Democratic nominees.
You know who was vile though? Registered democratic boomers were furious with me and called Bernie "too radical".
So I don't buy it when people try to deflect blame away from boomers for the state of American politics. Registered democratic boomers fight leftists harder than they fight MAGA. 🤷♂️
Adult sons living at home is common in European countries where status quo is to the left of your Bernie. So it must be something else. I blame NIMBYs.
Italy is left of Bernie? I'm apparently ignorant, can you please tell me where is that intersection of "left of Bernie" and "adult children lives at home"?
Maybe I don't understand left of Bernie: Is he far right so left of him is still right?
I must admit I do not know Bernie's policies in great detail. What I wanted to say that is that countries with national healthcare, free schooling, paid maternity, sick time, vacation days and such being the law I would refer to being left of Bernie because the status quo in USA is so much to the right.
Even in countries where all of this is provided by the state, being able to afford roof over your head is still a big challenge.
One article pointed out it takes $200 for a date, while another points out Zoomers are just not having that much sex, nor are they into romantic relationships.
Maybe if you work a people too hard and give them no hope for a future; if they can't afford to have a life, they may not want to have kids.
No, no. We just have to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and stop being lazy.
it takes $200 for a date
tf? When I go on a first date with a girl, I take her to a funky bar. We typically have 1 or 2 drinks max. Typically, I buy first round and she buys the second - but even if I pay for the whole date, it's only $40 max. Including tip.
Then for subsequent dates, we're either meeting at one of our places to get straight down to business, or doing something free or nearly free, like going hiking or playing pickleball or cooking dinner together.
Zoomers are just not having that much sex
I can tell you that zoomers are plenty interested in sex. They just need to get over their social anxiety to get naked with someone else.
$200??? What am I Richie rich? Fuck me if I'm paying the most I'm spending is $50 then we going to the park
This is a funny headline if you want to complain but sneaking behind some bushes in the park is still free.
Wait, you guys are finding partners?
Personally I just don't like children, and am suspicious of people who claim to have them on purpose
Literally every ancestor of yours disagreed
I always thought this was a weird take. Like yeah I get being a parent is hard and with the world today it’s just not financially fair to a kid for most people to try.
But dude, kids are hilarious and fun m, if you know the right ones.
What this is, is the cascading effect of fewer not-shitty people (or decent people in shitty situations) having kids. Then, everyone sees this maladjusted children and even fewer people want to give it a go.
I mean it’s not anyone’s choice but theirs if they want to have em or even like em. But ironically it’s almost like accelerationism when we all collectively swear off trying.
Ngl the "hilarious and fun" part mainly comes from them being literal superhumans.
Funny? Hell yeah! But I would NOT trust myself to raise this thing lmao.
I love my niblings. My world is an immeasurably better place with them in it. They bring me a lot of joy
I do not want kids of my own and am very glad that i never had any
