Rewatching Enterprise and I can't help but laugh every time they refer to 'space boomers'.
I know it's meant to refer to people on cargo-ships, and I guess 'baby boomer' was a less common phrase in the early 2000s, but every time I hear it, I can't help thinking about the 'okay boomer' meme.

heyla! not trying to rant persay, but I've been really enjoying your take on political matters, they make a lot of sense to me (without putting you on a pedestal or anything like that) I got engaged politically in the 2016 election because of Sanders running, worked with my local Democratic Party structure for about three years and had a great time honestly. Have not-quite-but-almost soured on Sanders since then though, and your posts over the last couple of months since I started following have articulated some of that souring really well. I think I might be over him entirely though, got one of those mass emails from him this morning talking about why he didn't vote on the debt ceiling bill (which I wasn't aware he hadn't until then) but that email is just chock full of "I can't in good conscience" over and over again, and I just. I don't have the bandwidth to dig into the numbers, but the amount of pressure relieved from the system by simple virtue of having this problem kicked down the road PAST the next election ???? almost incalcuable not having the American economy lashed by the failure to pass it will probably do more good for those in the lowest sections of the economic ladder by virtue of... not having the American economy collapse, in comparison to the (relatively?) minor obstacles added in the form of higher age requirements for welfare-work programs and I wonder, as I type this out, how it would have gone if he'd somehow been required to be the tie-breaker vote for whether or not the deal would pass. if it isn't all bluster or if he'd really sink the ship over "in good conscience" ideological quibbles. allowing the perfect to be the enemy of good. beating dead choirs with horses and all that I'm sure but I guess the tl;dr is that I am appreciative of the time you take to expand on these issues despite the fact it draws creatures out of the woodworks.
Lmao. Oh Bernie. The most consistent and reliable disappointment when it comes to putting his money where his mouth is for what, three decades? Four?

The answer to the question in this headline is "no, but it's not that simple".
If you plant acres of the same kinds of trees - monocropping - with no thought about the natural ecology of the area where you're planting, you're not doing much good, and you're harming the local environment.
If you do even a tiny bit of research about the area where you're planting, you can do a small amount of good. Planting trees, even in the best way, is not going to solve the climate crisis, but it can contribute a little bit to addressing the problem.
This is an example of the media taking a slightly complicated issue and dumbing it down to the point of meaninglessness, then getting some famous fool to make a statement. Bill Gates is quoted here saying "I don't plant trees". Apparently, he isn't interested in spending 15 seconds thinking about whether or not reforestation is or can be beneficial. The problem with this is that Gates has an enormous amount of power. His inability, or refusal, to give any thought at all to the matter will have consequences.
Billionaires are not necessarily smart. The fact that somebody got rich on technology doesn't mean they know fuckall about the environment. The fact that Gates is dishing out this kind of thoughtless drivel is proof that he shouldn't be able to drive change. Tax this moron and fund programs that are run by people who are capable of understanding the issue.
And then Gates can get the fuck out of the way - move to a Margaritaville resort, listen to the White Album and smoke doobies with the rest of the rich Boomers. Or whatever.

If anyone ever talks to you about kids these days not being able to read cursive, tell them, "Kids these days can read cursive, they just can't read your cursive." Honestly I can read cursive but some of my relatives barely write English.

I know that I can be extremely sensitive about certain things, but there are certain scenes in “A Christmas Story” that are hard for me to watch because they portray child abuse, which is hard to watch even though I know it’s considered the “normal” way to treat children.
There is a scene where Ralphie is in trouble for saying “fuck” even though he learned it from his dad. His mom wouldn’t accept that as an answer so Ralphie is forced to blame a friend and the friend’s mom has to be told over the phone. Because apparently mom just won’t accept that the dad swears in front of the kid??? Or doesn’t care and won’t blame the dad for some reason??? You then hear the other kids mom hysterically screeching like a wild fucking BANSHEE and frantically BEATING the ever loving SHIT out of Ralphie’s poor friend over the phone. Also Ralphie has his mouth washed out with toxic soap.
It can be genuinely hard to watch when you are surrounded by republican boomers laughing about their childhood abuse stories and talking about how it’s so much better than the way kids are treated now (even though child abuse is still rampant and absolutely nothing at all has changed in the way kids are treated).
Im not advocating censorship of the film I’m just saying it can be hard to watch in a certain context with people who overtly agree with treating children that way for a non violent non criminal behavior like saying “fuck”

Do you think any of the students at Sky High have said "Okay, Boomer." to Coach Boomer at least ONCE?
Yes. Maj. ALL THE TIME.

I briefly logged onto TikTok at lunch, to see that my mother had posted 79 videos today. 90% of them are stitches that could have just been a "ha ha cool" comment.
Both my parents are retired, not necessarily by choice, and are barely coping - I thank Satan I'm not on Facebook to witness my father's meltdowns but good lord.
At this point I'm just morbidly curious to witness this spiral in real time. She won't listen if I say something to her so this dumpster fire is just going to burn until she gets banned again.

You know what I can’t fucking stand? 50+ year old men who have all of these experiences in life, years of potential self reflection and learned wisdom, but posses the mental and emotional capacity of a stunted 16 year old.
Like, I want to rip my hair out.
Bro, I’m like 30 years younger than you with ADHD and I can control my emotions better than you, chill the fuck out and stop banging your fists on the keyboard when your computer doesn’t do what you want it to do.

‘Young people today are so spoiled! When I was a child, I had to risk hypothermia hiking through fifty feet of snow to get to school, and then afterwards work for 18 hours in a steel mill until my fingers bled, just to provide for my mother and four younger siblings! I think that young people should be made to go through horrific, and even life-threatening, situations, like I did, to learn some humility, all for the horrible crime of being born in a different world than I was, and having slightly easier lives!
‘I did, and I turned out FINE!’

Some boomer got mad at me over the phone because I told her the motel's email adress has a dash in it, "yeah, I don't know what a dAsH is, because back in my day we called them HYPHENS. Ever heard of em?!?"
God help us, it's the end of the world, Gen Z has killed the "calling dashes hyphens" industry. How will she ever recover?
Does she have nothing else to pretend to be mad about? No kids to cut out of the will? No grandkids to misgender? No nurses to yell at because her family never visits her?
