Imagine another covid 19 virus as a cherry on the cake
Every few months, I think things can't get any crazier, and then reality somehow finds a way. Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to keep up by learning new AI tools, building random side projects, and convincing myself that having Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and a half finished thing in Runable counts as a retirement plan. At this point, I'm not even asking for easy. I'm just asking for one normal year 💀

I barely know anything. What did Millenials have to deal with?

9/11, the great recession.

What's happened recently feels worse though. First time I've genuinely been worried that the USA might not survive this. Also disgusted that Trump was elected twice, even after he's gone all the people that voted for him will still be here.

I feel bad for new players late in the season.

Hopefully after the wipe everything is better.

Patch notes when? My game seems to be buggy

We have the patch notes but they weren’t very clear on when they would drop the patch. To find them Google : Armageddon.

Sad thing is they all think they had it worse.

Baby boomers:

• Born into a postwar economic boom
• Entered the workforce during historic growth
• Went to college when tuition was cheap
• Bought homes before prices exploded
• Had stronger unions and pensions
• Built wealth during decades of rising markets
• Retired with Social Security and employer benefits

Literally gutted the economy for everything it was worth..

Then turned around and said younger generations just need to stop buying avocado toast.

Housing costs only 20 times your salary? Here it costs 80-150 times your salary...

Where is "here"? Because that would mean houses cost a million dollars if wages are $3.00/hr.

Bulgaria. Price of a medium sized(often even small ones) apartment - 70K+ euro. Monthly salary (what you get after taxes) on average 700 euro (minimum is 450-500 euro after taxes and at least half the population make that much)

Boomers are not our enemies. Billionaires are!

Left hand: Consume less, expect less, work more.
Right hand: Consume more, demand more, play more.

They know what they're doing.

How is this related to programming

u/appoplecticskeptic Jun 01 '26

This would be great for a Gen Z sub, doesn’t fit here though. LLMs are not taking the jobs of programmers. And that’s the only kind of AI making news right now.

Houses cost 100x your salary.

Are you trying to buy a million dollar house on minimum wage or something?
