The White male suicide rate in the United States is higher right now than it was during the Great Depression…
The reason nobody talks about it is because it’s part of the plan.

GOG wants to bring physical PC games back. The idea is to let players buy boxed versions of games directly from their GOG library and have them delivered to their homes.
“We need to think about logistics. We need to think about storage,”
The company would also need approval from publishers to produce and sell physical copies.
GOG has been discussing the idea for years, but there are still plenty of challenges to overcome.
“I really hope that at some point we will be able to do it,”

BOOMER: “Why are young people still renting? Just buy a house.”
ME: “The house costs $420,000.”
BOOMER: “Then save for a down payment.”
ME: “After rent, bills, groceries, and student loans, I can save maybe $400 a month.”
BOOMER: “You need to stop wasting money.”
ME: “You bought your first house for $75,000 when you were making $30,000 a year.”
BOOMER: “We worked hard for everything we had.”
ME: “So are we. The difference is that the math has changed.”
And that’s what makes this conversation so frustrating.
Young people aren’t necessarily avoiding responsibility. Many are working full-time, saving what they can, and still watching homeownership move further out of reach.
YOU CAN’T KEEP TELLING AN ENTIRE GENERATION TO FOLLOW THE SAME PLAYBOOK WHEN THE PRICE OF ENTRY HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED.

I asked 50 Japanese people, ages 9 to 91, one question.
"What do you admire most about Americans?"
Here are the top answers.
10. "They clap when the plane lands." (Office worker, 34)
9. "They say 'I love you' every time they hang up the phone. Even men. Even to other men." (Taxi driver, 61)
8. "A stranger told me she liked my shoes. Then she just walked away. She didn't want anything." (High school girl, 16)
7. "They thank the bus driver when they get off." (Bus driver, 55. He got emotional saying this.)
6. "They tell you their whole life story in the grocery line. I know about one man's divorce, his boat, and his knee surgery. We knew each other for four minutes." (My mother, 64)
5. "They stand for the anthem at a children's baseball game." (Little League coach, 47)
4. "When they lose, they shake hands and say 'good game.' And they mean it." (Sota, 12)
3. "They fly the flag on a regular Tuesday. No holiday. Just because." (Nurse, 28)
2. "They help a stranger push a car out of the snow, then leave without saying their name." (My cousin's husband, 52, who got stuck in Colorado once)
And the number one answer came from the oldest person I asked. My grandfather. He's 91.
He thought about it for a long time.
Then he said:
"They still believe tomorrow will be better than today."
I asked him what he meant.
"In 1946, we had nothing," he said. "The American soldiers I met were young and far from home. But they acted like the future was coming, and it was going to be good. After a while, we started to believe them."
I asked him if he thought Americans still believe that.
He nodded slowly.
"Tell them," he said, "not to stop."
