US Civil war vets who lived to be 90 married little girls at the end of their life. Usually it was an arrangement. The little girls would then be eligible for the pension and it transferred to them when the veteran died. Some of these girls themselves lived to their 90s, hence you had state governments still pay civil war annuities in the era of TikTok.
+1 Singapore. Good food, I don't stand out in a crowd, future city.
In my state, getting at least 2% of the vote for either Governor or President in a general election keeps the Party on the ballot for the next election.
Without hitting that 2% threshold, the party loses its official status and has to go back to petitioning status, which means resources are tied up both canvassing for tens of thousands of signatures and fighting in courts to get reinstated. So it's a perpetual ground game and prevents the party from taking off.
The Libertarian Party has remained above that threshold for about a decade now, the only third party to do so consistently, and that's pretty scary.
JC Penney decided to show the actual price on clothing instead of what clothing retailers usually do, which is a grossly inflated price and then a slash through it and another sticker that reads like 30% off and bullshit events like "store credit" and discount sales every weekend. It was called "Fair and Square Pricing" and was quite competitive price wise with other retailers.
It nearly bankrupted them because nobody wanted to shop at a place where they weren't getting a deal.

Zen browser does that.
Sisko was killed in TNG's universe. Sisko survived in DS9's universe due to the prophets saving him. The Trek universe diverged at Wolf 359.
The Dominion War has drastically different outcomes. Existential crisis in one universe where Sisko does a lot of meddling; barely mentioned in the other.
The biggest change to the cast is that Worf marries Jadzia Dax and becomes Ambassador to the Klingon Empire in one universe; in the other universe, he does a brief inconsequential stint at DS9 (without Sisko), never marries, then returns to the Enterprise E as pretty much the same character from TNG, and at some later point, he gets the Enterprise E destroyed.
The Picard timeline is set in the universe where Sisko died at Wolf 359.
The movie Hackers.
I just don't understand it. I see some people with $1000 car payments and nothing toward retirement. What ever happened to looking for good deals? We had a kind of "rugged ingenuity" thing growing up where you respected people who took care of their older stuff, and I guess that still holds true today. $1000 car payments, I would have paid off my car in under a year.
Honestly, I'm scared to spend. Which I guess is okay because I'm comfortable with how we live and sometimes you have to spend on life events out of your control.
Yeah, thanks. Between ThinkPads and system76 and Fairphone, it's pretty easy to maintain. Monitor is a Dell U3014. It was over a thousand dollars new but these days it's under $200 used and I've replaced the mainboard in it twice for about $145 each time. Everything was purchased slightly used so that saves a lot.
