I'm 65 and the country is essentially fucked for the remainder of my lifetime. The judiciary, federal appointments, cabinet secretaries, SCOTUS... We're screwed

30 or 40 years ago he would've been laughed out of politics the moment he came down his gold escalator.

Still better to end up with the lesser of the two weevils

I'm in my mid 60s and know a few people that never even heard the term "browser extension" before. How they tolerate using the web with no ad blocking is beyond me.

The only options I want are Girl Scout thin mints or peanut butter cookies

Even with an ad blocker, it gets more unusable every year that goes by

Because of the electoral college, my vote doesn't mean much of anything in a presidential election because I live in a very blue state, not a swing state. I still vote, though.

I do that because I used to work in grocery stores and can noticed even small, incremental price changes on many items. Most consumers don't do that and hardly notice 3 cents more on this and 2 ounces short on that. We are already accustomed to toilet paper and laundry detergent mega-size and "concentrated" bullshit.

The only reason I remember that I'm 64 is that I will be 65 on my next birthday. That's kind of a milestone for a number of reasons and it's easy to remember. The same was true when I was about to turn 50. Other than that, anything after 30 is kind of blurry

I don't stream much but being disabled, I can't get to the store so I do order stuff from Amazon. What I've seen in the last few years is an influx of Chinese sellers with tons and tons of garbage and all of the reviews are completely worthless, of course.

I'm Bernie Sanders left and wish I had a gas stove and could buy more steak.

I've been using an 8 GB MP3 player I got 6 years ago for 30 bucks and a full charge still lasts for hours and hours.
