Even for casual conversations it's getting old. "How's your X day doing" "what made you happy?"

I'm less and less feeling like I relate to most of the things posted not only here but in the fedverse...

Are adults really not supposed to financially helps their old parents?
  • My father is unemployed and early 60s old. Good luck finding job like that in a bankrupt corrupt Latin country. And he grew up dirt poor, started working at age 8. From carrying bricks and making them, delivering food on foot made by his mom, to 2nd hand construction, to janitor to security - stewart in a casino, He's not lazy, is just his reality.

  • We are low class so I guess I can't understand your reality. We only all did middle school in the family and my parents only did jobs as janitors (mom) and my dad was a security in a mall/casino.

  • Same in Italy, my mom doesn't want to live here and get older here, her money is invested in our country and wants to retire there, even though Italy is a much safer and stable country (I mean is not, but it's almost good in comparison to Latin America)

  • I don't think the guy started as a "YouTuber" he's very old, just cashing on the podcast trend and the channel is highly followed and the comment section seems normal

  • I've seen clip of that financial advice show "The Ramsey show" on YouTube and the things that old man say are shocking to me. According to him I shouldn't give a single cent to my parents... That's so against my culture. I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.

    Hell I'm unemployed for like a year by now and still sent 200 euro a few months ago to my father that still lives in my home country that I haven't seen in 17 years.

    Are you really Americans like that? Don't get me wrong, I don't see it as cold hearted but I see it as unnatural, and I'M a "socialess" cold person in essence.

    Is "retard" a slur?
  • I miss when we could use it. I got called a retard, I called people retards, people called objects retarded. Nobody got offended or hurt. A lot of fun videos on YouTube got removed only because they had "retard" on the title which is fucking retard.

    Who else is an adult that still lives with their family?
  • I live in the middle of nowhere when rent is less expensive. The car is my uncles car, he can drive but he's buying a new one and here some immigrants drive without license probably because it's expensive and or don't have the documents or can't pass the theory exam.

    I'm not eligible for welfare.
