I'm 65 and the country is essentially fucked for the remainder of my lifetime. The judiciary, federal appointments, cabinet secretaries, SCOTUS... We're screwed

I'm in my mid 60s and know a few people that never even heard the term "browser extension" before. How they tolerate using the web with no ad blocking is beyond me.

I do that because I used to work in grocery stores and can noticed even small, incremental price changes on many items. Most consumers don't do that and hardly notice 3 cents more on this and 2 ounces short on that. We are already accustomed to toilet paper and laundry detergent mega-size and "concentrated" bullshit.

The only reason I remember that I'm 64 is that I will be 65 on my next birthday. That's kind of a milestone for a number of reasons and it's easy to remember. The same was true when I was about to turn 50. Other than that, anything after 30 is kind of blurry
