    I don’t think I’ve ever seen my grandparents angry in my life.

    EDIT: Honestly, my in-person experience with people who are like…70+ is that they’ve been pretty mellow. Maybe they go off and rage in private or something, but hasn’t been where I see it.

      My grandparents were chill af too, even if my grandpa was a ‘serious’ man (just a sober and athletic family guy of virtue, which means I still have a long way to go, lol). But, while broke, they were also happily married, only death (shortly) separated them.

      • As an old woman myself, I’m sorry to you and your little cat too. Sounds like you got stuck with crappy old losers. I hope you meet other old people who treat you nicer.

        I am angry a lot, but it’s because as a kid I thought the world was getting better, more tolerant and caring etc. and instead it keeps getting worse, more fascistic and hateful and filthy and destroyed. Every time we take a step forward we get smacked down backwards about six. It’s exhausting. But we do still have to keep trying to take those positive steps every day.
