What is this "retirement" you speak of?

Oooh! The period where they put us all out on an ice flow when we become too old to work!
- You think we will still have ice?!
  
  Seriously! Someone’s failing their mental aptitude test!
  
  I always thought the "ice floes" was just figurative, but apparently there actually used to be ice there! TIL~!
- What is this "too old to work" you speak of?
  
  This is turning out to be a depressing thread...
- Might just be autocorrect landing on the more commonly-used word but if you're interested, a floe is a sheet of floating ice. Sounds the same as flow but they are different things.
  
  Til! Thanks
- Hah, you have a point.
- Too old to work under current technology? Don't worry your years on ice will not be in vain as we will awaken you as soon as the technology is available to get you back to work. You got to pay off that cryo stasis debt you didn't ask for after all.
"retirement"
- I thought we were just all working until we die to feed the stock market.
  
  Who do we call the enemy? My children, my children Who do we call the enemy? Who do we call the enemy? The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
  
  That or try taking roy off grid
I also like her other, similar comic which is about a dog.

(And she has a lot of other great comics too! https://sarahcandersen.com/)
- Yes, I love that one! She is great, love just browsing through her stuff.
Im hoping retirement homes will have lan parties
- If it happens, you guys are getting pwned
  
  xxGubussySlayerxx: Are you hacking or is that Parkinsons
  
  G-maCookieHacker: You must have cataracts if you think that was a hack.
- Yeah Ian's a fuckin animal, man
  
  Underrated joke
- Once I'm retired, maybe I can finally finish my backlog of 2000+ games on Steam
As a millennial this made me laugh far to much.
- As a millennial... too... me too
  
  I'm sorry, but not sorry
- This got me good.
- That moment when you laugh so hard you cry
Oh Lord he comin'.
- "She's hallucinating now"
  
  :nods sadly:
  
  "the end is close, I think"
- Lawd*
Mario and Smash Bros (millenials grew up with those, they’re currently 30-40) will be the new bingo
- Quake on LAN for me
  
  Ahh won't have the reflexes for that.. Maybe civ?
I am gone.
- Where'd u go
  
  Ootl
I call my car big chonk from time to time
When the doctor doesn't know anything about slang.
- No worries, by then Latin is replaced by Equally Dead Internet Language as a prerequisite to become a doctor.
  
  "I am a doctor, I have a PhD in ancient memeology"
  
  Ah! the good old cycle of replacing the old with a new thing! Only so we know who is hip like us. Only then can they be doctors like us 🧐 * gumball-sophisticated-laugh.wav *
Fucking love it
