That’s what I’m hearing that’s diff. Before, old guys w/ means would talk about fixing the GOP, or the economy, or holding out….now their sphere of interest has contracted.

It’s now about THEIR family. Their people, surviving in a tiny bubble of safety that they have to make with their own means

ON the upside a whole lot of normies are figuring out the score. It’s been blowing me away lately, seeing accelerationist, exclusionary, preparatory language coming from regular, working, busy people with no interest in politics.

It’s promising in a way that previous “awakenings” were not

like uh…..what? why did you give this nobody fight so many panels, huh Ban? Oh……I get it

Love it when one of my fave artists gets work on a manga, but wow is this one a strange fit.

(MC was scrawny and beaten up in life, so he adores muscles for their protective strength, bunch of beefy tomboy huntresses and milf-vampires {who unfortunately turn masochist when they try to develop sunlight resistance})

Also looking forward to bellmonde, I think the monkey vampire monster girl will be cool

oh yeah THIS is dangerous but when I slap a tesla logo on the front you’re all excited

(forgot this vid was loading, diff. poast)

I got a big batch of used cells the other day and I cannot find them.

Bugging me, need them

There’s a big issue w/ people expecting real launch starts these days, all it takes is one dumbass kid striking lucky and ruining the curve, so everyone’s parents are asking “why can’t you be more like HIM?!? His business took off! He just bought a house and he’s only 24!!!”

Expectations are skewed for everybody

I will once again stump for boomers because I know far more good than bad:

The boomers I know are working into their retirement years to:

1: put their ingrate kids/grandkids through college (dumb idea, but good luck dissuading them from that esp. when they didn’t go themselves and perform labor in their 70’s),

2: take care of dementia/alzheimer’s patients in the family (nearly the norm today, people refuse to hand family to shitskins in scrubs

3: help to foster the grandchildren’s generation in an uncertain economy (I know 2 who ignore the damage they’re doing to themselves to help their grandchildren build a home, while the wife watches the kids, or they teach a trade to one of the kin)

Sure, the white collar ones are douchebags, but every week I see another good hearted old american doing his best and going above and beyond to help his people. In my experience, for every suburbanite bragging about spending their inheritance on cruises and fun, I’ve seen 2 boomers working themselves into an early grave to create a foothold for their family.

Chin up though. Having ZERO is a better point than having a lot at 24 and watching it become negative value around your neck. You have time at least, w/ work and a network that can become something wonderful

Yet we’re even more childish than that. At least living in college mode forever meant sex, networking, and parties. Ours is masturbation, vidya, and drugs. I get why, but I still don’t like how it’s our norm and we all pretend it’s okay wasting our lives.

It probably doesn’t help that my areas are pretty white, so most of our Genx cohort lived VERY blessed lives compared to the rest. They love to poormouth themselves and act like they had it rough, but even the pilots in the early 00’s that got furloughed all went into amazing careers around me.

One literally made a biz, sold it for millions, and then jumped right back in the cockpit to keep telling us horror stories about “you kids don’t know how fucking terrifying it is out there, when I was furloughed from delta I couldn’t find a job for a YEAR!!!!”

Also I”ve been meaning to hammer on this GEN soyrace shit after being inundated with “CHEECH AND CHONG HAVE NEW WEED GUMMIES” adverts every time I open my inbox. Gen Xers love pretending they’re the cool, laid back party folk their heroes were 30 years ago while bitching that kids now are stoned out of their minds and lazy as shit.

These guys are clients often enough, and I have to listen to them bemoan the downfall of customer service, quality, and utility on every consumer front while bragging about how they spent THEIR youth getting blazed and being lazy. They even do weed today now that it’s so widely available, but because they’re high up on the managerial/biz food chain nobody holds them accountable.

I’m just tired, I guess. We’re all boomers in the end. Millies are taking forever to grow up and leave childish lifestyles in the past, zoomers are approaching 30 while pretending they’re seventeen forever….. everyone refuses to look at the clock

It likely comes down to how lucky and harworking they were in life. Overall the most “boomer” people I see are the upper middle class, comfortable people telling their teenagers “just go out and get a job, go to costco, demand to see the manager, and don’t leave until he hires you at 17 yo!”

I was thinking about how carli rae jepsen was the last of her breed

(don’t really love boy singers)

This is a very GenX flavored post, considering the majority of the IRL boomer hate I hear is actually directed at them. The cohort born 20 years after the baby boom (“early” gen X, like 1960 and up) are usually the ones people hate the most.

The actual chronological baby boomers around me generally worked, have roles that give them a street level view of modern life for us….the gen X’ers are the ones who inherited, or managed their way into a comfy niche and now lecture you about how “ungrateful” you are for turning your nose up at $15/hr for work he made $35/hr for 35 years ago

They don’t, nobody does, it just refers to a literal word doc to follow step by step in order to open files “like a googol drive”

A nice day like today makes me wish they didn’t kill off that pop music subgenre of “everything is great and waking up is fun”

Yeah the fritz x was pretty effective.

If only they didn’t have that chuuni naming sense, then it wouldnt’ve been so easy for the brits to figure out how their stuff worked just by reading the secret project name
