Aw what's wrong? Are you not enjoying the vibecession anymore?

[archacovercosine]

vibecession when i'm not in power: whohooo, yippieee

vibecession when you're the sitting government: wait, this fucking sucks. what the fuck.

I mean, fir what it's worth it wasn't "vibecession" during Biden, and it's also not "vibecession" now. it's all very real!

and more specifically, the claim that people have more money now is just empiricallying false:

https://www.reuters.com/commentary/reuters-open-interest/us-consumers-savings-buffer-is-gone-now-what-2026-06-01/

The personal savings rate fell to a four-year low of 2.6% in April. It has halved in the past year and, excluding the single month of June 2022, is now the lowest since 2008.

Zoom out further, and one can see just how flimsy U.S. consumers' savings cushion really is. Aside from 20 months in the 2005-08 period, consumers' savings rate has never been lower since comparable records began in the 1950s.

I don't know how sincere either of the people in this threadwere about using the term "vibecession" so i'm being a lot nicer about this than I usually would be, but fwiw those are the facts of the matter.

So Rocky has a bunch of permanent carvings along his carapace like family crest, rulers and protractors, marriage symbol, etc. I assume thats normal for Eridians, but the possibility that it's socially equivalent to getting full body tattoos for humans is funny. Imagine seeing this super inked out dude, but you look closer and its just a bunch of tattoos like.

"I LOVE MY HUSBAND," "FAMILY MAN," "ENGINEERING4LYFE."

there was a bus driver in my town who had a tattoo of a bus with flames around it and the words "ALWAYS ON TIME" on his arm

i just can't convey the frustration and sorrow that it's been to grow up at first without the internet and then watching it bloom into this useful, fun, connecting force you sometimes spent time on, only for it to degrade into this constant oppressive waste of time and energy where people are constantly pumping out algorithmically designed content for max algorithmic appeal and even the most simple search generates either no results or an infinite abyss of ai generated slop none of which is usable or correct. we briefly had a library of alexandria and then fed it into a paper shredder so advertisers could sell a random mash of pulp back to us at a premium.

I'm old enough that I remember posting about Israeli concentration camps on this website and getting dogpiled for it. not by the weirdo right wingers who cling on here to troll people but by well-meaning Obama-voting mutuals in 2012. can you imagine.

[warningengine]

"why don't leftists ever talk about" we did, you were either not old enough or Biden was still in office and you hadn't become a "leftist" yet lol. thank you though we will circle back

[warningengine]

this is one of those moments where i remember I am old and have been a leftist for quite literally longer than some users on this website have been alive lol we did and nobody cared
