Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.
\\ Hello future essay writers, I hope you have accrued enough credits to keep your crate cool tonight!\\
If I am not dead in fifty years I dread to imagine what a 75 year old me would be like. I would prefer not to get to that stage though, I'm cool with dying before I'm 40.
Also future essay writers I fucked your grandmother's.
Most of GenX did not expect to live long enough to collect SS.
It's an aspiration, also I kind expect for a civil conflict of some type to kick off sooner or later where I will probably bleed out in an irrigation ditch or something.
I think this civil conflict will look more like the Irish troubles, and that it's already begun.
My money is on troubles then something akin to the break up of Yugoslavia and the following wars.
Or the long period of guerrilla activity that preceded the Civil War.
If I don't go down in a hail of gunfire long before then, allow me to say, include me in the screenshot. In this case, include me in the academic citation as well.
You: "I'm cool with dying before I'm 40."
Genie: Done! You're wish is granted.
You: But nothing's changed?
Genie: Correct.
Lots of people think that but they usually change their mind when they grow a bit older.
It's called passive suicidality, I want to die but am overridden from killing myself by my instincts and pride.
Release the IKEA list!
