There's a weird obsession in a lot of americanized Christianity with getting young adults married and then having kids. Because I guess they want to see more little Jesus babies and they think that's all a young adult woman needs to be doing.

I was pressured hardcore into getting married young and then having kids. Fortunately no kids happened and I got out of it all. But I saw so many older church folk at multiple churches push this on lots of young adults.

There's this weird "no sex no sex no sex no sex" obsession with sex they impress upon you as a teen, which has kind of a Streisand effect by the way. Then at age 18 it becomes endless "oh you two are so cute, when are you proposing, when is the wedding, when are the kids coming..." kind of shit.

Especially for girls. I knew one woman once who said it was (figuratively) like her parents were weirdly holding her legs closed for so long and obsessed with her "purity," and then one day it was almost like they were wanting to force her legs open for any Christian man they liked.

Reminds me when I saw "Gluten free" on plain raw bacon packages.

With the windows open and all the daylight.

Unless you're a young married Christian couple. Then it's all they fucking bring up at church.

My fav part of the 90s (in the US) is that the federal government introduced a law that would give significant raises to government employees to keep their compensation on par with other similar positions, however it has literally never been enacted since every single president since its inception has declared a national emergency to prevent it.

They also had RIFs in the 90s where they gutted half a million federal government employees. All while Alan Greenspan idiotically thought we'd never see a crash again (because markets did so well through the decade).

What I am saying is, at least in the US, everything is fucking made-up.

For anyone curious, I think this is that law.

Although FEPCA provides for an automatic formula to determine the annual pay raise, this formula has been ignored due to the cost of implementation. The President has authority under FEPCA to submit an "alternative" pay plan with a lower raise than that called for by the FEPCA formula (or none at all) "if because of national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare" [5 U.S.C. §5303(b)(1)].

Nintendo to increase prices on 13 year old tech released 8 years ago.

Maybe 1 or 2 of those friends is worth living next to. The rest are "friends" and make this a nightmare situation. You never wanted to be around them THAT much.

The PlayStation 5 continues to smash it

No. It doesn't. I've read lots of articles implying the rate of adoption was slow, and most ps5 owners were just playing a lot of ps4 games for a long time.

It was shocking to me how little I cared. After like 4 years I own maybe 3 PS5 games and finished none of them.

You know they passed a law dramatically reducing social services and driving up the national debt with tax breaks for the rich.

Par for the course. Thank a right-wing neighbor.
