Just over half of Americans over the age of 65 are earning under $30,000 a year, and it shows how stark the retirement crisis is

All these comments blaming poor boomers for having to work part-time minimum wage jobs shows that capitalistism's propaganda continues to work by getting us to believe there is a generational war when we're really in a class war. Most of us here will be in the same boat, unable to stop working in our elderly years and unable to get a job with a real wage.

c/unixsocks for more

One floor of my office building is a very well known gaming company. They've been remote since I started my job in 2021, but they have started coming into the office recently. I'd say 75% of the people I've seen get off at that floor have appeared to me to be LGBT+.

TIL that some people do not have an inner voice and think in different nonverbal ways.

The map would be tough. If someone showed me the map and said, go to the kitchen, I would try remember, turn left then right then its around to the left. I would remember it in words, not visually.

Brown and pink dog...in my mind I see a hazy face of a poodle with fluffy pink ears. I can't see the full dog. I can't walk around the image and explore it more. Its just a hazy partial visual that flashes in my mind for a moment.

Anyone else gradually stopped drinking alcohol?

My body stopped responding to alcohol like it once did. I was never a big drinker but through my 30s, I've slowly stopped feeling any sort of buzz and instead get anxiety and insomnia. I'm also having a harder time handling cannabis, a little bit can send my heart rate through the roof. I'm sure I've got some health issue contributing to these changes but haven't figured it out yet.

Second Life Concept: How Used Taycan Batteries Became An Energy Storage System for the Leipzig Plant

The Taycan has only been around a few years. Are these batteries that have been replaced or were the original cars tossed? I'm glad the batteries are getting additional use, I'm just afraid of how much other waste is being created. I know my boss leases a new Porsche every 3 years and it breaks my heart to think they aren't getting resold and are getting destroyed.
