As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

My coworkers were talking about pensions today. They're a little closer to retirement (within the next 10 years). Cause I started later in life, they told me I'd probably be working 30 full years (until I'm well into my 60s). They wondered what I'd do about it all. I told em "does 2055 sound like it'll be good years going forward from that or bad." And that's probably the biggest difference between generations (as real as they are) lol. One hand you have something stable but you had to work for, the other feels like the end of a thread of an unraveling sweater
- Everyone in my generation speculates when the good/bad year divide was too, but in the other direction. 9/11, 2012? 1991?
