I used to work with a woman who loved to travel, early 60s, she said when they went on vacation her husband would always hole up in the hotel room and watch TV and she'd bring food back to him from whatever Applebees'esque place she could find.

What a miserable loving existence, the boomers' affluence was entirely wasted on them.

for overwhelmingly fat pieces of barely intelligent garbage, the average american is really bad at enjoying the possibility of new foods

yeah there's that whole "traveling to other cultures increases empathy and understanding" idea but it doesn't really work if you have no actual interest in how other people live, then you're just traveling to look at old piles of stone or buy a rolex tax free

my only experience with mainland china tourists was in hong kong and I was mostly just gawking at how lovely the hkers were to them

I do know they banned photography in a whole neighborhood of kyoto because huge busloads of chinese tourists were harassing people and trampling stuff to get a selfie with a real live geiko/geisha

Everyone's an rear end in a top hat in every major city, because there's so many people around you get way more than your recommended daily intake of crazy giving people a chance and listening to them.

I had a work study job at ucsc and that clause threw me for a loop, especially since I was one of the founders of the spartacist league club at my high school so I guess I lied that I never advocated the violent overthrowing of the us government :shrug:

FCC announced that it will now cost $35 to get your ham license and people are LOSING THEIR poo poo over it. We've got a new thing to point the finger at for "why ham radio is dying" for the next fifteen years

WELL IF THEY HADN'T OF ADDED THAT FEE we'd have hundreds of thousands of new hams <checks notes> arguing about chemtrails and fake news with a bunch of 70 year olds !!!!

statistically speaking, what’s the ham population drop looking like over the next decade

and what’s the optimal point for young socialists to start joining the conversations to outnumber what graybeards with ailments remain
