Beating death is easy, just say he just lost The Game.

They see me rollin’, they hatin’

I think it’s also the younger users here don’t know/remember the time when all Boomers flipped their shit and thought Beanie Babies were THE ONE TRUE investment strategy. They didn’t watch their parents blow their entire retirement fund on a scam. Instead they were the ones that actually got to play with them, so naturally they look back on them fondly.

Sure, but millennials weren’t the generation that brought us things like this. They thought they could horde them to fund their kids college. I know firsthand, my mom spent hundreds of thousands on them claiming they would only go up. Now she’s got nothing. God forbid she buy a fucking savings bond.

Not a movie, but Konosuba. Yeah, the show is trash, but it’s my trash. I will ride Aqua until the day I die

I hear ya, but I gotta say, America ain’t nothing compared to Japan in that regards. They have actual standardized stock phrases for all types of interactions, at work and at home.

Everyone’s saying so the parents don’t have to worry, but there’s also an evolutionary / natural selection aspect to it.

Also, grandparents can help alleviate the burden of raising a child and allow parents to make even more kids

Unethical pro tip: write obviously wrong documentation, post it somewhere, and then wait for people to flame you while explaining the correct methods.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve done that a couple of times when I was completly ignored for straight up asking how to do something.

Counterpoint: Breaking Bad season 5

I get it, it’s internet hyperbole. But dude, if that happens please fight back. Protests, voting, or god forbid gunfire if need be. But don’t just give up and die, that’s what they want.

Yeah, it was very strong yesterday

Yeah, I totally get that. I figured it’d be “grass” or something, but I suppose it works.

Also here’s a pic of a plaque that was on the wall with some explanation text

I wish, but this seems specifically aimed at smartphones only. However, this could open the door for Nintendo to make their own eshop for Android or Apple, and I suspect that’s what the gov is going for because it would directly benefit Japanese companies at the expense of foreign ones.
