I long for the day when they are just normal everywhere. Easily one of the best things to come out of the pandemic and those wild toilet paper shortages.

Prove your claim. What book? Where? Or are you just making this up or maybe repeating some bullshit some other moron said?

It’s not exactly that I’m buying into it disappearing is a foregone conclusion - just that if something doesn’t happen to proactively protect and improve the system, than yeah, it’s in big trouble in the next decade. And my personal bias puts my main concern on the people who rely on it for disability insurance since they are some of the most vulnerable. Of course I want what I paid into it myself later in life, but at least I can see it helping those close to me for some consolation if it doesn’t.

Millennial here and I have a few family members that rely on SSDI so I just like that my contributions support them. I’ll figure things out myself for retirement. But an estimated 7.8 million people rely on SSDI and taking that away from them could very well be death sentences. We have to do better.

I hope to see a bigger push across all tech for this. We can’t possibly do better in the fight to improve the climate if we keep using gadgets that have to be replaced every two years.

Reddit is Fun.

Agreed. Bluetooth wasn’t great at first but has been fine for years now.

I switch between swiping and typing. It works pretty well most of the time.

I think some people don’t even realize PhD and MD are different things.

You perfectly describe how it felt on Reddit to comment and what turned me into a lurker after the years went by. Doing my best to be more active on Lemmy to help get this thing growing!

It’s a good idea to check in on this every so often just to make sure your employers are paying their contributions too. I recall some horror stories when this this been posted before.

Smelling C-diff for the first time is something.

Definitely. I don’t plan on downloading the official Reddit app anytime soon and for years I have been more of a lurker on Reddit but I am trying to break that and participate more on Lemmy. Really enjoying it so far.
