Bloody love this. A bunch of old people living out the rest of their days in a hotel while refusing to speak to each other and silently judging each other’s clothes. Life goals 🙏 youtu.be/zgpK5YxqmDo?...

My friends mock me for liking "old people cars" but I am all about hybrid 50-60 MPG cars as the perfect balance between practical, environmental, and functional
Nah. Let’s make Wyoming the geriatric state, where old people go to die. That’s a better use of the state and its government.
its a closed system where old people are visiting a bunch of new countries in a short span of time and then all eating from/sneezing on the same self-serve buffet
