  • They probably weren’t paying attention to their speed at all, and didn’t even accelerate on purpose. People often go faster when something starts passing them.

    My guess is they doesn’t realize what they did, and thought you had lost your mind. I mean, imagine how that looked to them if they doesn’t realize they sped up on you.

    On the other hand, I’ve had other drivers do things like that on purpose to screw with me before too, and while I could go into detail, it suffices to say the times I am thinking of were pretty clear cut. I haven’t found that behavior to be particularly common though.

    “Our expectations are so much higher today,” says Melissa Kearney, an economist at the University of Maryland whose research focuses on children and family. “Generations before us didn’t expect to have large houses where every kid had a bedroom and there were multiple vacations.”

    We just shouldn’t expect to have mansions for our many many kids? Fuck you.

That’s not even considering the lack of kids many of us have, because we can’t afford them.

    Fuck this out of touch shit. I’m so sick of these people who already got theirs telling the people who can’t do the same that it’s their own fault. This fucking article goes further than that suggesting it’s worse than our own fault because we’re better situated somehow.

    Avocado toast ass argument. This country needs more guillotines.
