  • For the number folks:

    The most respondents cited high inflation (54%), Social Security not providing as much financial support as they need (43%), and high taxes (43%). Boomers (61%) were more likely than millennials (56%) or Gen Xers (55%) to say high inflation contributed to their fear of running out of money.

    But this fear is more prominent among Gen Xers (70%) who are in their 40s and 50s and fast approaching retirement and millennials (66%) than boomers (61%) who are over 60 and many have already retired.

    Asian/Asian American respondents (34%) were more likely to have discussed this fear than white (22%), Black/African American (28%), and Hispanic (25%) respondents.

    Interestingly no mention of Gen Z, who I guess is just starting their careers so might be why?

    Though I’d imagine the doom and gloom is just as high for Gen Z if not more.







  • I dunno about cheaper tbh…

    Working there right now. I was originally going to work in cali but due to circumstances ended up here instead… Same company, different team, 30% pay cut pretax.

    No state tax, but sales tax is 10+%, and groceries here are slightly higher than cali. Rent and utilities are the exact same as when I was in LA. A 1bd goes for 1300 for a shitty studio with only 200sqft, no stovetop + only a minifridge. The next jump is an actual 1bd but at 1.6k. I got lucky and found a 2bd for 2.5k which im splitting with a roommate, but that’s not normally the case.

    I looked at house prices and they’re at 1.2m for most. Which is the same average prices I seen for both norcal and socal.










  • You shouldn’t be ok with doxing people even if they are not good people.

    It’s an all or nothing standpoint. If you are fine with people getting doxxed for some reason you believe to be evil, then you inadvertently say that doxxing as a whole is fine. Eventually someone innocent is going to get doxxed, whether it be by accident (no such list of doxxed people is 100% accurate) or by someone with different viewpoints than you.





  • I’m decently sure profanity became known as such because of either religious reasons or class division (along the lines of peasants vs nobles from early/medieval europe) and it just became commonplace.

    I would say profanity nowadays though is a lot less taboo. It’s been normalized in culture (hip hop, city culture, punk subculture) and a lot of people are less religious nowadays.
