I mean there is a thing going all the way back to the silent generation who had a taste of the depression and so had some knowledge of truly bad times. Even younger boomers had a decent chance of getting a job that you could raise a family with just a high school degree and older ones could be pretty successful. Having a pension was the usual. Losers who managed fast food could still afford a place of their own and a fixer upper car. I saw these things go away as an Xer but I know its still better than those after me. college loans for me was like a car loan. A very nice car, like luxury care, but still a car. So college was doable even for those whose parents could not help out. It was not long after I graduated that college loans became like mortgages for the millenials. You can have a car loan with no car and get by and you can’t be doing a mortgage with no shelter to show for it. All the while a college degree debased to where its basically the high school minimum needed for any shot. Its that much worse for gen Z and I don’t even want to imagine what gen alpha will have. Thats just economic. Then you take the giant fall back we had with environmental regulations with reagan. There was a lot of environmental consciousness in the 70’s and it essentailly evaporated in the 80’s with yuppies and greed is good. Granted this is mostly a republican effect but who were the reagan democrats? I get that many boomers are great and its not that the generations that follow are individually so great but the way its shaken out it just gets to be a more and more raw deal for each successive generation.

nope but destroying useful goverment infrastructure and moving the tax burden to regressive taxes taht hit me harder and deregulating things easy do that metaphorically.

I was actually just trying to make a peter sellers joke

I sorta miss this but I am far enough that I tend to only deal with IT people so im sorta insulated from this.

oh man I remember how hilary was going to win by such a large margin in those polls.

seems to just be age for me. I have been biking my whole life bit it was in my 30’s where when I do it especially a lot I would start to feel it. And yes I make sure my ride geometry does not allow for a deep knee bend. Anything really can set it off now and sometimes it just comes on its one. same with other aches and pains that have shown up over time. im not on the good side of 50 at this point though but it was in the thirties where the first things started showing up.

look i have had the choice for with or without lube for half a century now. Thing is saying I don’t want to get sodomized at all just results in the default of without lube. I hate it with lube but I really, really hate it without.

its an improvement because now for all you know it appears to uninstall the feature for now.

not thinking to much that annoying friday song

holy shit there is going to be a veep debate?! the last pres one was hilarious and awesome.

ouch. this hits to close.

I have had pizza hut in my lifetime im pretty sure but can’t remember when. I have had pizza hut in the last decade so I guess it would win. I do feel its better but both are not as good as real pizza.

some folks don’t like it and for some reason don’t just block it.

I can’t remember a time anymore where my knees would have pain out of no where.

My very first thought was they would lose so much business if they did that but yeah regionally I can see them getting away with.

I wish it talked more about the architecture. Im curious if the twist helps with wind.

well they did a very good job and managed to keep the joke going such that no one has outed them. The electronics they mess with though are very simple calculators and placed in the coil mostly. So even if it did work its at a range where its essentially useless.

yup. need to get like 70% of the vote for the majority to be heard.

I feel like one of those characters in a movie who is lowborn and some friend brings them to a high society ball or something and is explaining all the nuances.

thats a dangerous game as I take the amount of space a game is taking up when removing them from my steamdeck. I mean if I can remove one game to put on 3 or 4 more well. thats a no brainer.
