  • Something that fight club didn’t mention pertaining to this working generation is that even if you work hard and get promotions, you’re likely to just keep up to the cost of living. I started with when a beer was $1 a bottle at the grocery store. 10 years later, I can be making double from 3 or so promotions and beer is now $2 a bottle. Working harder for the same purchasing power. It feels so hopeless and yet, I feel lucky to be in this position considering I have so many friends who are much worse off.


  • Man, fuck that. Kids who are young enough to not know any better becomes everyone’s problem. Every year when I fly trans-Pacific, I end up sitting next to sick kids. They’re too young to practice even polite coughing. It’s just open-mouthed germ spreading the entire flight. I’ve gotten sick every single time. The last time, I ended up coughing so hard that I herniated a disk. Why do I have to be considerate to them and the same consideration isn’t afforded to me? If your kid isn’t old enough to be in society, don’t take them on planes.


  • It’s so common though. At least in America it is. I once walked into a restaurant and there were two kids play-screaming in the back. Parents didn’t give a shit. We walked out.

    On airplanes, some parents let their kids roam free. This is why iPad parenting is so effective. Shuts them up, even if it eats away at their future.
