baby boomers are also the generation that cares deeply about what bathroom people pee and poop in.

Nobody cares about this but the Ecuadorian election is being challenged. There were a lot of irregularities and Lasso is demanding a recount. There are protests on various cities.

psydude posted:Disagree. Baby boomers are the worst. Their parents literally saved the world from Nazis, and the boomers celebrated by demanding an expansion of government-funded benefits that they could take advantage of while destroying the economy and pulling the ladder up after them, leaving their kids to pay into systems that will no longer exist by the time they can theoretically benefit. They experienced Vietnam, and then subsequently elected three presidents who dodged the draft. One of these presidents went on to start two wars that did nothing but get their kids liquefied by IEDs. They completely destroyed the power of unions (conveniently after their pensions had already fully vested) and then forced everyone to go to college before they hired them, all the while defunding subsidies to public universities, resulting in an unprecedented debt to income ratio among college graduates. Truly the worst. It's incredibly infuriating to get lectured by some smug retired boomer about how worthless the Millennials are. They've been so successful at it that half of Millennials try and disassociate themselves with the term.

Something weird in the water down there. This and the Venezuela shenanigans. I wonder if we're looking at World War 2: Part 3, The Fascist and the Furious?

psydude posted:Millennials fall into the middle/end of the baby boomers and the beginning of generation X. There isn't really a 1 to 1 mapping between a generation and its parents; generations are defined by the contemporary culture in which they grow up. I mean, I grew up whith BBSs and cassette tapes. My first computer was a commodore 64. Just trying hard to find reasons I'm not millenial.

Unless you are an OAP, chances are you get thrown in the Millenial category by Baby Boomers.

My dad had an XT clone when I was a kid that I remember playing some SEGA game on, I learned to type on an Apple II and used them (and original Macs) extensively through middle school. Hell, I even had to learn about typing on an electric typewriter in high school in the late 90s. Other than that I remember dialing into a BBS once or twice and mostly growing up on AOL circa 1995. The earliest newsworthy event I remember is Desert Shield/Storm, so I suppose that puts me solidly in the older Millennial camp.

Gonna bring something that was somehow in the drunk thread over because I liked it, re: more "why did Clinton lose" posts:Capn Beeb posted:I remember a sit down between John Oliver and Stephen Colbert where they leaned kinda heavily towards the idea that the both of them as well as well as other similar folks normalizing this garbage under the guise of comedy played a not-insignificant role of getting Trump elected. from the sidebar links quote:It also touched off the 34,998th relitigation of the 2016 Democratic primaries and, frankly, I am sick of all these people. I am sick of the useless posturing, the vain heckling, the shined-up counter-narratives that have nothing to do with the damage that is being done now, at this moment, all over the government, to every progressive accomplishment back to the turn of the last century.

My dad was in Saudi for Desert Shield, home before the business kicked off. That was the only time I ever saw the tv-esque "put all the families on the flightline to welcome them home" thing IRL.

as for vpns, I've been using mudfish for awhile it is a silly korean one and charges by the gigabyte but uh I've spent like 10 bucks on it over the years and it still has money https://mudfish.net/ it is mainly for games but still works for browsing. 8 gigs is about 1 dollar and I guess they got a subscription plan that I never looked at http://wiki.mudfish.net/Data%20Plans

14000 baud, motherfuckers. Dial your buddy up in Warcraft II and play that poo poo over your modem (what's Battle.net?). Bonus points if you have Through the Dark Portal. Better hope your mom doesn't pick up the phone in the middle of your paladin rush, though.

Third season premiere of rick and morty is running again on adult swim. Warcraft 2 was awesome, but I somehow missed it until about a year before warcraft 3 came out, and never bothered playing it beyond that year or so. I got hooked on simcity 2000 at a young age.

My parents just bought a brand new Acer Aspire with Windows 95. It's fast enough to play Dark Forces! Anyway, we're about to sign up for Bell Atlantic's internet service (also switching to MCI for long distance). I'll give you a collect call when I'm on my way back from the arcade (I lost my phone card) and we can fire up a game of Red Alert. Also, I finally beat the latest Commander Keen. I'll tell you all about it on AIM.

Just lol if you didn't try downloading the Starcraft demo to a floppy disk because you were like 8 and your parents yelled at you for using too much memory on the computer. All of those games are using all of our memory, the Windows told us we were out of it! Better delete some stuff from our hard drive!
