It's amazing all our minds went right there.

It's a myth that all the boomers got theirs. Don't get me wrong, our deal is absolutely worse, but the rich have been fucking people for profit as long as there's been rich people.

It's not for us anymore, friend. They'll milk the franchises we love until they're just a husk, then dump it. Some upstart may revive it, but then it just gets put back into the cycle.

Welcome to pure greed capitalism; fuck you, pay me. Tomorrow is the next asshole's problem.

Not gonna fucking work anyhow. Prohibition doesn't work, it hasn't ever worked. If they can't browse phub, they'll find it somewhere else. You can find porn in fucking Roblox.

We don't just call everyone we don't like fascists. But uh, them folks are fascists.

As the parent of a 4.5 year old I gotta say, what a stupid fucking take.

No. You're misinterpreting everything I wrote to suit your own narrative rather than even attempting to have a good faith discussion. Either that or your comprehension is actually that poor.

Either way; not my problem or job. Hope you have a blessed life.

You said that it's liberal narrative, but somehow my liberal media is part of some bubble that reinforces the opposite?

NAFTA required better education to offset the jobs that would dissolve, the area I grew up in did invest in public schools and as a result I'm well educated and earn good money. I'll let you figure out which areas decided education wasn't an important investment.

You also missed me with the whole liberal thing, 100% independent. I've voted conservative, libertarian and liberal but in the past few election cycles a conservative vote equates to a reduction of freedom, rights, and general fucking sanity. Any vote for a conservative is a vote for team Trump at this point, and if you're cool with that; fuck yourself traitor.

This is just so bizarre to me. Like what devilish teat are you suckling to get this narrative? Who's saying this? I consume leftist media and this isn't a message I've taken away at all, like seriously 0%.

This sounds an awful lot like "hey bro I heard what they were saying about you, totally fucked up and you should be so mad!" As in, they're stirring the pot with cherry picked examples and rather than pulling your head out of their ass for a minute to get your bearing you've just inhaled smoke straight out of their buttholes and have fine to the conclusion the world smells like shit.

If it's the economics that have you fucked up, and you're not a 50+ year old furniture maker or coal miner; you've been fucked by the conservatives who've worked with moderate Dems to leave the middle class out to dry while crafting policy that only benefits corporations and the ultra wealthy.

I work in an industry where we use computers all day and this is painfully clear. I grew up with a mouse in my hand, shortcuts are hardwired into my brain. Watching someone right click them slowly move the cursor to copy, then right click and slowly move to paste, then slowly navigate to formulas then click refresh is brutal. It literally takes them 3-4x as long as it takes me to do the same task.

On the bright side, I only work about 20 hours a week and still outperform them, so thanks I guess?

lol my life is great, unlike those movies.

Nah, the new trilogy was just garbage. Not even garbage for Star wars, just bad movies in general. The inconsistent themes and storytelling of the first two left such a shit taste in my mouth I still haven't bothered to watch the third.
