Maybe old people should start being more likable?

I was at a nursing home and a fairly friendly guy was like "well as long as those nwords dont win the elections"

Like wtf die already with that shit

I think a lot of this could be solved if old people weren't so stuck with NEEDING their space to be exactly their space. A lot of them are so inflexible about who they live with. I've known so many who live alone in a 3 bedroom house, and they feel lonely, but also refuse to live with anyone else.
