Last year Boomer here and oh my g*d yes. These old out of touch relics have no business running anything other than their own retirement. And it's not just one party, we've seen both Rep and Dem politicians who have clearly passed their "use by" date. Full retirement age is 67 and IMHO that's the last age that one should be able to run for office.

Um, I'm Gen X and I think that. More importantly, no Rep should serve more than 4-5 terms, and no senator more than 2 terms. Back before COVID there was an announcement about a Dem taking his 25,000th vote, then, a couple months later, a Repub. In both cases I'm yelling at the radio "this is a bad thing! No one should be in Congress that long."

I also hate that!!! With a passion! Especially because I was at a restaurant a couple of weeks back where they only had QR codes and their whole entire website was down! We had to wait 20 minutes just so we can check the menu and order........
Wild Cream 6 months ago
We have a local restaurant that changes most of its menu every week so they added QR code stickers to every table so patrons can view the menu on their phones. They also print paper copies just in case. I was talking to the manager and he said no one ever scans the QR code, they always ask for paper 😆 he can see the stats online of how many scans the QR codes get and he said it had been maybe 1 scan per week for months

While most researchers agree that Gen Z refers to Americans born between 1997 and 2012, some people have different opinions. For instance, the moderators in charge of the r/GenZ subreddit suggest that Gen Zers are those people born in the United States as early as 1996.
There’s also some overlap between people born on the cusp between Generation Y (aka Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996) and Generation Z. They’re referred to as Zillennials, and mostly include folks born between 1993 and 1998.

The same people bashing trans people (who have literally always existed) were the same kind of people bashing LGBTQ folks a few decades ago, and the same kind of people freaking out about Black folks using “white bathrooms” decades earlier. It’s always conservatives picking a boogeyman/scapegoat to spread fear and hate over, despite all evidence that those people are fine and normal human beings. It’s all I think about when I hear the trans panic coming from the right. It’s cruel and hateful for literally no reason.

Communism, Capitalism - That's how it looks on either side of the extreme. People seem to not being able to go for middle grounds anymore, like social markets - Capitalism paired with social security
Graham_Illegal 6 months ago
The so-called "communist" dictatorships did not offer a genuine economic alternative to capitalism. That is why, over the past 20 to 25 years, experts have instead referred to them as "bureaucratic state capitalism", to provide a more accurate definition. Therefore, these two examples represent only extreme forms of capitalism. Social democracy has proven to be its most livable form and can be seen as a feasible middle ground indeed.

Funny, it was not Gen Z but actually the early, young Millennials who thought that way, because that's what they were taught. They were called "digital natives" and it was widely assumed they had an almost magical, inborn ability with tech that no other generation would ever be able to grasp. I saw so many who came into the workplace expecting to be sling-shot up the ranks. Some were, for a time. It was sad when it was realized they weren't wizards after all. But Gen Z? I'd say they think the opposite--that success comes rarely or not at all. Gen Z gets criticized enough. Give them a break.

The problem is that it’s essentially the same school system we had 40 years ago — and even back then, it was already outdated.

As a result, they’re now largely dysfunctional, leading only to frustration, anxiety, and a growing disconnect between generations.

Not buffering necessarily, it used to be that video players let you buffer as much as you want to (you could pause it, then let it load the whole video, hit play watch the entire video without it having to buffer). But now if you pause a video, it only preloads (read: buffering) the next few min of video before it stops preloading. Meaning if you have a bad connection, you are forced into watching a bit of it, waiting for it to buffer, watch a bit, buffer, watch, buffer, etc.; as opposed to pausing it once at the beginning, letting it all preload, and then watching without having to wait on any more buffering. Super annoying, and hopefully it makes a comeback.

At least some of those conspiracy theories will turn out to be true. But it can take generations for that information to come out. It's not easy to see which ones are unhinged (like flat earth) and which ones are true. But Bored Panda, for one, is full of little snippets of til weirdness about things we now know the government did in previous generations that nobody would have credited at the time. Giving people venereal disease (Tuskegee study) or brainwashing them (look up MK Ultra), Unit 731, etc. It's amazing what can go on. But at the time I'm sure these were conspiracy theories and people were shunned if they brought them up.

I feel like this is all just superfluous navel-gazing. We already have perfectly good words for all this; there is literally no reason to talk like this other than to sound cool and to distinguish yourself as being such.

Thought This Was Funny Due To Recent Arguments I've Had On This Sub

If nothing else then just go and spoil your ballet paper. I don't know about elsewhere but in the UK political parties take spoilt papers seriously. If the numbers go up in an area they will investigate why the candidate they are putting forward isn't appealing. They want to solve that problem before anyone else. It can also inspire more independent candidates to put themselves forward with different agendas. At the very least it makes it loud and clear that things aren't good enough. Political parties regard non-voters as a lost cause and don't waste money trying to find out how they can get them to vote for their candidate.

GG = "good game". Used to be said by gamers at the end of a competitive game match where you play against other people (usually a first-person shooting game like Counter-Strike or Call of Duty) as a way of letting go any frustrations you may have felt during the match itself and just saying "good game" to your opponents, even if they won. IIRC nowadays it's usually used sarcastically/in a mean/cruel way, though XD But it used to be the gamer version of the handshake between two tennis players after a match - just a show of good sportsmanship.

There isn't an "Anti-woke" thought or opinion comming from the majority of people since the show isn't woke. It has a diverse cast with strong characters of different kinds. The word "woke" became a term for productions pushing political ideologies on the expense of entertainment value by displaying the gender or ethnicity of a character as only positive trait, degrading surrounding characters based on the such traits and/or to make the protagonist look better and usually are done to beat down on the opposition. An example in contrast to "Avatar" would be "Velma" (2023 - 24). Much like terms as ESG or DEI, woke became a negative word due to the useage of pesons and corporations branding their products with this word

Many people use "woke" as in: there are poc/queer characters in this thing and therefore i don't like it.

Extreme wealth inequality can make the economy seem better than it is when you average it out because the ultra-rich more than make up for the poor.

If i try to relax by doing nothing my neurodivergent brain will scream at me. I have to keep myself entertained, it doesn't matter if it's with a book or a screen.

Oh yes. I live with an older woman, and she occasionally verbally attacks me about being on my computer. What does she do? Sit outside staring at nothing all day. Now that is all good and fine, but what do you expect me to do? I do my work on my computer, and it's for entertainment. I don't really want to sit staring at nothing all day. I'm 37.
