Farewell, Millennial Lifestyle Subsidyquote:A few years ago, while on a work trip in Los Angeles, I hailed an Uber for a crosstown ride during rush hour. I knew it would be a long trip, and I steeled myself to fork over $60 or $70. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/08/technology/farewell-millennial-lifestyle-subsidy.html

Here’s a weird gen x era depiction of gay youth, “What if I’m Gay?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrpIdYmwZ8k I might possibly be in the background somewhere, they shot this after school special at my high school and I volunteered to be an extra.

AmbassadorofSodomy posted:Don't show them off to me because I don't give a gently caress. I like my friends’ weird and or dumb tattoos  why not?I’m reminded of when I took my 80 year old leftist dad to a dive bar. Some general talk about current events was going on and one of the old regulars goes “I’m 70 years old, and I don’t care” Then my dad says “well I’m 80 and I DO care!” It was pretty funny seeing the other guy backpedal and try not to seem like a selfish jerk E- obviously has nothing to do with tattoos or anything really, I’m old, just let me ramble

We were born Born in the fifties My mother cried When president Kennedy died She said it was the communists But I knew better Would they drop the bomb on us While we made love on the beach We were the class they couldn't teach 'Cause we knew better We were born Born in the fifties They screamed When the Beatles sang And they laughed when the King fell down the steps Oh they should've known better Oh we hated our Aunt Then we messed in our pants Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV Oh we should've known better We were born Born in the fifties We freeze like statues on the pages of history Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'s Oh you opened the door for us And then you turned to dust You don't understand us So don't reprimand us We're taking the future We don't need no teacher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFIPjjlGJmM

learnincurve posted:British boomers don’t so much go in for prime rib, for them it’s pork belly which is a huge slab of very fatty meat roasted or cut into slices. They can harp on about it for hours, and it’s much much worse than “steaks I got for cheap over the years” chat, because it’s a loving disgusting slab of fat to everyone else, because they don’t season it I could easily be wrong but I think it’s the opposite in the US and pork belly is more popular with younger people than old, it seems pretty trendy these days

NC Wyeth Death Cult posted:It's like only in the last couple decades that not being a dumb shithead about obliterating your body when you're in your 20s became a thing. In my work there’s lots of toxic materials that could easily be optional but using them is seen as the “right way” to do things. It’s considered the old school approach and I always hope that as younger people get into the industry that things will improve but I’m not seeing it. The younger people want to show off their skills which sadly means standing around in a toxic cloud much of the time. I wish I could find a way to get them to help change things but when I suggest that people be less self destructive it ends up sounding to them like I’m asking them to be amateurish or something. People literally believe that they’ve built up an immunity to carcinogens.

CPL593H posted:The main point of every shingles story I've ever heard is what absolute horror it is. I've never heard of someone just getting a minor case of the shingles and then being over it by the weekend. I'm absolutely terrified of ever getting shingles It’s me, the mild shingles haver. If you see any warning signs of shingles make sure you get on whatever antiviral medication it takes to treat it asap, it makes a huge difference.

SpartanIvy posted:Boomer on nextdoor wrote an entire manifesto against a local diner because he was charged $4 for his side roll that was supposed to be included with his meals cost. Not sure if it’s a generational thing but I notice in lots of reviews on Seamless people say things like “3 out of 5 stars. Usually I love this place but this time the noodles were cold.” Like their rating shouldn’t be based on their average experience, it’s about the last minor thing that pissed them off.
