I retired a little younger than that. Got into IT in the dark ages when nobody knew what the hell was going on yet, and I was good at it. Timing and luck.

They have been institutionalized.

I saw so many people like that when I worked for a major telco. These people worked for the same company their whole lives and were brainwashed to hell and back. They weren't just drinking the Kool Aid, they were serving it to other employees. It was sad.

We do, it's called Social Security and the goons currently in charge are trying as hard as they can to dismantle it. Even then, it's barely enough to survive on for a lot of people since it's tied to how much income you made during your working life. And we all know the state of income inequality.

No idea man. I retired in January, about the same age as you. Have barely thought about work since. Don't miss it at all.

Screw that guy.

My high ass was like ‘wait they put tile on aircraft?’ and after accepting that I just assumed it messed with airflow or the Bernoulli effect.

Then I was like, ‘Oh’.

Sure, but they had to start somewhere. Reach is the 6th Halo game.

Green is the universal color of soldiers. The regular soldiers in Halo were wearing green. Master Chief's armor was green because he was a soldier. It made perfect sense to me.

Yeah, this. I have medications I need. When the pair of contacts in my eyes fall out eventually, I'm functionally blind. All that aside, I'd probably starve quickly since I don't know how to make weapons and other humans haven't made it to where I live yet in 1375 nevermind, I'm high. The humans that are there would probably kill me on sight though.

I'd probably look around for a couple days and then when I got super hungry just find a cliff to jump off.

You can name some upcoming events between 1375-1376 that would get you enough fame to make a living, off the top of your head?

It's white collar crime. They'll pay a fine which will mean nothing to them, and nobody will go to jail. That's how it works.

sudo = shut up dammit, obey!

He should know, he's the one that put a shotgun in its mouth over a decade ago.

Das ist schlecht.

You’ve got upper management written all over you.

We need a decent replacement for this, stat. Once they go into IPO mode it's gonna get real shitty, real fast.

Yes I know. Real sports have “motor” in front of them. lol

Counterpoint- all sports are silly. That’s why they are called games.

I don’t dunk on wrestling fans anymore because people are free to enjoy whatever they want. But it’s always been like this. It didn’t change - you did. Personal growth!

More useful than the original.
