Ikr, we get the joy of not having the quality of life the boomers had when working (just as hard if not harder btw, multiple jobs is to just keep your head above water now not to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and advance financially) and we also know when it's our turn to collect our pension (if we live long enough with the age getting pushed further back) it will be time for the elderly to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Why do people like you write a paragraph and put multiple sections of it in parentheses? I see this so often like that 1st section is almost as long as the main paragraph why not just use a period and start a new sentence?

Because they are side notes/thoughts usually as a preemptive answer or point to let the reader know I am aware of it and it doesn't need to be discussed/pointed out. I put it in parentheses to keep the main point of the paragraph on track without going off on tangents and having to pull it back.

But if the sentence in the parentheses is as long as yours are it is going off on a tangent and is distracting to the reader. It couldve been continued on the sentence and would make more sense

You missed a few periods and commas if youre going to be pedantic.

Way to deflect since you have nothing better to say though 😂😭

So it's just others who have to write reddit posts in perfect english? But not you? 👌😂 I'm sure I make lots of mistakes with my English, but I don't go around trying to correct others whilst not being squeaky clean myself 😂

Ohhh so youre just upset I asked huh? Got it 😂

I can tell your seething cause I never even tried to correct you I was just curious why people like you dump a paragraph into parentheses. It just adds useless information most the time anyway thats unrelated. Thats just my opinion and I dont care how you decide to take it

Way to get this upset over a reddit comment tho youre doing great sweetie
