You went off to a different country and things are much different.

In the US, generally, parents by retirement age have paid for their homes by then, have retired with benefits from their employer that will give them some money every month, have social security that also pays them every month (both of these are taken out of each paycheck throughout their career lives) and don’t have many bills.

So by the time they’re old, if they were responsible and held ok jobs, they should need money less than you need it. Our US system is basically set up to make you work hard for 40 ish years and then you’re taken care of when you’re old, for the most part. If your parents need money and you have money to give, there’s nothing wrong or against it. It’s still a common thing. But ideally, doing that shouldn’t be needed.

Mario kart is still a thing. I absolutely hate the not actually random item drops, though. Getting punished for being in the lead is lame.

GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.

Then wait two weeks. I’m pretty sure Harris will beat trump pretty easily, and I think she’d beat Vance by even more.

Don’t worry, OP. Samsung makes absolute dog shit appliances, so you’ll be replacing that dishwasher sometime in the next 2 years anyways.

So long as I can still choose to skip breakfast when I want.

Yes, but no one dies if they get pushed back 2 weeks. Also, the cosmetic surgeries are first on the chopping block.

And again, it’s supply and demand. The hospitals want the profit. They don’t want to pay any overhead for the product.
