A minimun wage construction job? Someone is lying to you. Dad was probably working the glory hole at kwik-e-mart. No bank is going to give a house loan to someone making minimum wage.

I can't imagine why you don't have a ton of friends

Funny how it never occurs to the folks who espouse the virtues of socialism and communism that they should apply those same ideals to their own life. Acting collectively was the way my friends and I were able to move away from home.

Not me. I just paid off my second house.

So self pity it is

Haha I love it when kids tell me what my life was like.

Back to my original point. No, not everyone who worked 40 hours a week could afford a house.

You can wrap yourself in self pity or you can be resourceful, your choice.

A "measly construction job" is a good paying one. A person working at a McDonald's for 40 hours a week at that time would not be able to afford an apartment let alone a house. When your aunt bought her house interest rates were in the teens, today they are 7% and that's a record high. My parents bought a house in 1976 for $28,000 dad worked full time at a city job plus always had a second job or side hustle. Our family would strip copper to make ends meet. Mom cooked every meal, eating out was a rare treat. Never once did we even order pizza, Mom make it with powder dough. We didn't have cable. Got by on two junker cars sometimes one.

Every generation has it's challenges. This is the first to have a public circle jerk/pity party

Are people under the impression everyone who had a 40 hour a week job had their own house?

Maybe try not being such a whiny bitch and pay attention to what they are trying to tell you.

Just spitballing here. These grand ideas good/bad practical/or not are the beginning of mankind learning how to geo engineer planets or moons. I'll be long dead before I get proven right or wrong so it's easy to spitball

I too assumed they were talking about marijuana gummies even though I'm fully aware there are also gummy vitamins

They peaked with Jaws 3D. No other credits since. I wonder what Kit has been up to?

This man shits worthless click bait out of his mouth daily, why does media fall for it?

Accept the fact that no matter what choice you make there will always be times when you'll look back and think "what if?".

When I was a kid back in the 70's there was a woman with a spider monkey who lived in the same trailer park as my grandfather. She rode around on a bike with it on her shoulder and would stop when my sister and I were visiting. We were never allowed to pet it, we'd watch while the lady fed it clovers.

But what's his position on TikTok?

Look up cognitive dissonance. It's basically how people justify saying one thing and doing another. We're all prone to it, everyone has their price

That's happens to you guys too? Because it usually feels like I'm the only one who doesn't get the joke.

Long time American beer drinker here. The craft breweries here brew some strange stuff these days. There are sooo many breweries now it's hard to stand out brewing something as simple as a porter. Now it has to be chocolate pecan graham cracker infused porter.

There are old things that are new to some people. You can watch reruns on TV, rewatch movies you've seen before and listen to music that's 60 years old.
