The funny part is that if you are actually old enough to have the experience they ‘require’, and look like the distinguished gentleman in the meme, well, it turns out you are too old and feeble to be considered a good fit for the position what with all the health problems age brings…

Huge difference between your little ‘extravagances’ in your game collection and spending $700 on something you are going to flush down the toilet in a few hours. Yours is a tangible investment, the orher not so much.

47 here… I suppose im at the tail end of the people who still had a chance. We have a house that is half paid off but that needs a new roof, windows, and flooring that we cannot afford to take care of due to inflation screwing everything up. We have 2 cars but they are both 30+ years old and keeping them on the road is taking up most of what free time I have. When we got the mortgage it felt like we had finally ‘made it’ and that future pay increades would allow us to remodel and modernize our ‘fixer upper’ but the intervening 15 years has been an escalating shitshow that has us barely able to maintain what we have in its current state. It is starting to look tempting to liquidate the house and extraneous posessions and buy an old RV and become modern day nomads for our remaining years. The only thing really preventing this is that our 2 adult children are living with us still because there are no jobs that pay enough for them to move out on their own and we are not going to just dump them on the curb and say ‘figure it out’ like my parents did to me…

I have been using smartphones forever and have never had a plan that did not charge extra for this feature… Granted I have always used verizon, so maybe its a verizon thing?

Panel 4 could be replaced with the contents of a hot pocket fresh from the microwave.

I have one similar and it does work, granted the ambient humidity is less than around 50% I live in the desert in northern nevada and we cool our house with a huge one and I have a small desk size one I use in my room. Most of the time our ambient humidity is in the mid teens here so they work rather well.

I will say ‘I like my coffee like I like my women, black and strong’. My wife is a tiny white girl so I tend to get funny looks when I say it.

By the time lunchables showed up in the stores im our small town I was a Jr in high school and was driving over to burger king for $1 whoppers for lunch. Didnt have my first mobile phone until I was forced into getting one for work in 2005…

Worked in tech support for a major internet provider. We would constantly have major ouages in various locations due to overtaxed systems going down. Corporate refused to allow us to admit that there were problems on our end and forced the techs to troubleshoot the customer calls, even though we all knew that we could do nothing for the customer. Saw multiple techs releived of their job for telling the truth to the customers. So many hours wasted on both the customer and techs part.
