People have never not been getting offended, because the world has always been a gently caress for nearly everybody

My ancient great grandma used to rant and raise hell if she ever saw a Japanese person on tv or in the newspaper. What a snowflake

I'm 33, and one of the things I'm afraid about being old is that the young people are going to hate us because we didn't do anything about climate change. Like the hate we have for boomers but way way way worse. And our defense which is "But but but we couldn't do anything, the horrible Boomers were in charge..." Is going to hold no weight with them.

Young people don't vote, are physically and mentally weak from smartphone usage and are generally unarmed. Who cares who they hate or why?

Yeah I don’t know, I think if we look at micro-fluctuations in barometer readings over the Pacific Ocean in the last month or two vs the last 5 years and compare that to almanac trends we could probably localize the source of global warming fairly easily.

The 2010's will be known as the decade in which SA gave me the warm fuzzies.





e: Thank you but I can't take credit for the av, I spent the longest time with av's turned off, then one day on a whim, I turned them on, and lo and behold, I have a cool avatar. Some wonderful goon did me a solid, and I have no idea who did it or when it happened other than sometime between mid 2007 and mid 2019. So if you're reading this, kind goon, thank you for the bitchin' av. (I love Aliens btw)

I usually vote presidential years at least. WA is deep blue, so my vote doesn’t matter much. I did vote James Harris for President in 2000, one of 2 people in my whole county who did so. That vote definitely did not matter.

Take a page from the greatest generation's playbook. It doesn't matter how much poo poo you gently caress up, or the post war suburban military prison industrial complex hellscape you create, as long as you beat Nazis, history will look upon you fondly.
