I’ve googled “how to make friends in your late 20s” more times than I care to admit. Though I’ve stayed put, 99% of my college friends have either moved or moved on so I feel like a stranger in a new city. Most of the time, I don’t know how to break the ice or where to go to meet people.
The caffeine content is unreal. I work in manufacturing and had to crank out 12 hour days during the week of Christmas shut down – machine maintenance and the like. Death Wish made those shifts tolerable. I took a whole thermos full just to have but always had leftover because 2 cups was enough to keep me going (and by cup, I mean a large Tervis). Also fwiw, I have a high caffeine tolerance.
I’ve yet to meet anyone who has changed their opinions/beliefs based on a meme. I’ll admit to my biases and convictions, but that’s also why I started a side blog and shared it with maybe 3 people. Overall, no one gives a shit.
You’re looking at at least $200k gross household income. Assuming typical movement upward through the ranks of a company – particularly with STEM and management – a couple can reach that number by their 40s. If this factors in investments, IRAs, and other wealth development, ease of access to that magical number gets easier. The hatred for the “1%” is usually for the “0.1%” – your hedge fund managers, corporate cronies, Warren Buffets, etc. That shit doesn’t happen through honest market interactions. Laws have to be passed in your favor. The stuff that everyone knows happens but CNN won’t talk about it.
Maybe it’s more about avoiding conflict than actual addiction. No one wants to hear that their choice of conversation is boring/annoying/etc. And no one enjoys bringing that up to another person. No, it’s not the end of the world but it’s sure as fuck uncomfortable to talk about. So the easy way out is being busy scrolling through a feed or taking a call (or pretending to). I’ll admit I’m guilty of it.
“She adjusted herself in bed to avoid having a double-chin in case Caroline took a screenshot and Instagrammed it with the caption, ‘hot mess express.'”
That level of vanity in the midst of a hangover is Grade A sociopathy. Even Patrick Bateman would tell her to get help.

Solid, much needed article, Duda.

My life is too boring to justify having an Instagram. PGP

¯_(ツ)_/¯ Just my $0.02
If Tyler Durden ever asked me who I would want to fight, it would be this chode.
If this queso is good enough to justify stabbing a muhfugga for wasting a few drops, I’m gonna need a recipe.
Just sayin…
Personal attire: cleared for criticism
Opinion on dogs: off limits
Gotcha. Thanks!
No, your Instagram stinks because you hate dogs.

If this is speaking from experience, you have high maintenance friends.
