A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's traumatic for many. People start to realize that they actually age in their 30s and turn to weird shit because they don't know how to deal with trauma of aging.
Rampant discrimination against older people, especially women is crazy and something you don't fully notice until you or your peers are affected directly.
I hear old people talk about this, but then they run every government and large business, have most of the money, and get like the majority of government services as well.
That's why country clubs and those 55+ walled suburban enclaves are a thing, I guess lol.
Porque no los dos
Sure, maybe. I guess until it's us young people's turn, it'll be hard to know how much is real, and how much is directionless crankyness or early dementia.
And FWIW there's dumber things to build a hierarchy around. The very young understand little.
The fastest rise in homeless demographic are women over 50. GOP are directly putting your mothers and grandmothers on the street effectively murdering them
Now I want to know what demographic is second, and what demographics if any are shrinking. Do you have a link?
If the increase rates keep going like this, half the country will be homeless in ten years, the entire country in 25.
The shrinking demographics are children with families and veterans, (finally).
The second demographic that's rising is children. The third latino/Hispanic.
