Moving into fil's house after he passes, CON: I would have to go upstairs to poop, PRO: Iggy can have a lil yard

You're welcome.

18 years today. I tell him I hate him as often as I tell him I love him; he knows they mean the same thing.

I keep thinking at 3am that I have so much to do but I don't want to wake anybody up. What is the solution? Oh, being a human being with a sleep schedule that makes sense? Forget it then.

Do they? Partner is French but dgaf about Pokemon.

I don't know how and you can't make me learn! I mean, I know how, I just refuse to acknowledge that I do.

My TEXTILES.

Also spring-load my body so I pop out and scare people.

I love weird puppy-demons.

I don't understand people who don't like pizza. What's not to like? Bread-good. Sauce of some sort-good. Gooey element -gooooooood.

Make it two.

Mexican or Chinese.

I hate how the corners are cut.

Five stars, would order small snacks from cream corn noodle again.

I think I'm in my Dude Love era.

Don't do my boy Hook like that. But yeah, Weshausen is on.

What is this, a wrestling dump? Stick to dogs, idiot! ("I'm from Winnipeg, idiot!")

This was me last week but replace jncos with oversized yoga pants and rain with freezing rain.

Half the visitor's spots are full of snowbank. I would be pissed if I ever invited people over.

Every time my partner puts on a true crime video, me: "oh this one is crazy, you're going to like it!" Him: immediately loses interest

Anyone know if it's correct? Would make a cool tattoo if so.

I mean, I still can't drive, but that's my brain's fault.

Sounds lonely.

Especially when Iggy wakes me up by treading my herniated disc.

Am I a fake cheese harlot if I'm not into bleu?

I was happy being vegan until my mom needed catering help. I ate like 35 wings in the car and have felt like garbage ever since. But man. Wings.

I forgot what having a young dog was like.

Young spine terror in question aka Iggy tax.

I mean, the only way I’ll buy a house is thanks to be married and our combined incomes but that’s still an improbable thing. And the reason I’d buy a house is not to have a landlord.

#1 is super accurate. I only want a house so my dog has a yard. Otherwise I would be pretty happy in an apartment. Would also like to have a decent size living room. Can't really have more than like 4 people in here at a time.

I got a puppy for the 2nd time ever recently. I was 14 when I got Isla, a literal cartoon of a Golden Retriever; then Archie, the smartest, sneakiest little black labradoodle a few months ago. Turned 40 a couple weeks back. He's so bouncy. He was barking at the storm Isha over here in Scotland last night. He's such a little character. So yes, I completely understand how we've forgotten what raising a puppy entails. My poor shag carpet...

#1 I feel like the geezers have forgotten how old millennials are. There's a reason a generation approaching their 40's are not buying homes with the plan of having children.

2 years ago | Likes 45 Dislikes 0

Elder Millennial/Xennial here. I turned 40 on the 6th there. I own my home, but that's thanks to my folks buying it and renting it to me like a very affordable fixed mortgage on it which the banks would NEVER do. I'll have it paid off in about 7 years now. Lucky lucky guy, I know and appreciate it. And I'm quite happy raising and training and loving my little dog(who's rapidly becoming a big dog) and I furnished the whole thing myself. Didn't mean to brag, I just feel very grateful.

Elder Millenial here (42). I have owned homes/land in the past, and have a hefty amount in savings. But I'm enjoying now living in a city and renting because the cost of a place in the city to own is far too much, and public transit means we don't have to own cars. I live in Montreal, where rent is quite nice if you look around for long enough: I've got a 3 bedroom apartment for $1150/month CAD, which is $854 USD. My kids are teens, so they barely leave their rooms anyway.

The best French name for something is not from Pokémon, but… In French, they call sour patch kids “very bad kids”. Not the French words for very bad kids, like tres mauvais enfants. Just the English words “very bad kids” on the package.

Most regions have different names. Pikachu is always Pikachu though. Charmander is ヒトカゲ (Hitokage) which comes from 火蜥蜴 which is basically "fire lizard"

No no, I meant the English names. Charmander was still called Charmander in the Canadian French version (vs Salamèche in the France French version).

They kept the English names for one or two seasons so the kids would recognize them, as games translated in French did not yet reach North America.

#1 people don’t want to live in concrete boxes in towers. They want some space around them, preferably with living stuff in it. Just because apartments are there doesn’t mean everyone wants to live in one.

Fun fact, those concrete boxes devoid of beauty and growing things are actually REALLY bad for mental health, they fuck you up, people need green space to frolic in. Makes sense 'cause when you get down to it, we're just animals that min-maxed for intelligence.

We're not even min-maxed for int. We have the "complex communication (language)" talent and eventually the "written communication" talent. Boy does that do wonders for general societal growth. Get a few humans in there with high int and they can permanently record their int-based discoveries for others to learn from.

The phrase in #11 reads like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Latin which Google probably can't cope with quite right. Dunno if that answers @OP's question or not though.

It's been a LONG time since I studied Latin but, besides the poor sentence structure in this and the literal word-for-word google translate alternative in another comment, "gorgiamus" probably is dog Latin (as suggested). The rest weirdly can be translated like... "Thus we [verb] the tossed-up big toes now"....... 😬

2 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

A less literal translation, keeping the spirit of the (quite possibly made up) gorgiamus, might in fact be... "So let's slobber those upturned big toes now." If you shoot for the Addams Family moon and miss, you'll still land amongst the foot lovers stars. Get the tattoo!

Actually, around here they are building nice middle-upper housing developments asshole-to-elbow next to the neighbors with almost no front or rear yards because (according to my real estate friends) "nobody wants to deal with lawns anymore".

I certainly don't want a yard anymore. I've had one and it sucked up way too much of my free time, energy, and money. A deck for grilling and a hot tub, sure. But a yard I'd have to take care of? No thanks.

Most "Millennials" own a house of some kind now. They got there slower than past generations, but have largely caught up to where Boomers were at the same age (last I checked).

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 21

Maybe where you're from, but all the boomers I know had paid off at least half their mortgage (for a 5-bedroom house on 1000m^2) by my age, and had it fully paid off well before they were 50. With current loan payments and cost of living, I'll be able to pay a 2-bedroom apartment off by about the age of 70 if I'm lucky.

2 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

Data check: this is not true. Millennials have been consistently lagging behind by 5-7% at "same age" of previous generations. In current ownership numbers, approx 50% of millenials own homes, this is nowhere close to "most." (For comparison, it's 70% for Gen X and 80% for Boomers). Conditions are getting worse for younger generations because entry level homes are far less available, cost of living to income ratios are terrible, and median house prices are astronomically higher and *rising*.

I'd read elsewhere that the gap with previous generations had been closing, but maybe I was mistaken there. On a separate note (and I'm really not trying to be pedantic here), "approx 50% of millenials" literally means "close to most" of them.
