It's p cool, you start to fall and they try to get under you. Failing they they lay next to you so you can plant your hands for them to help you up. a physical support animal

FMguru posted:palo alto wasnt always a tech buble billionaire playpen. its history is as a bohemian college town where eccentric academics lived and it was leavened with crunchy-granola bay area seventies ideology. the shopping district used to have lots of weird little cafes and used bookstores (theyve largely been gentrified into oblivion but there are still a few traces of them if you know where to look). raising chickens has probably been legal in palo alto for a long time. stanfords long-running official nickname was The Farm, after all. i had a prof who went to stanford during the stanford prison experiement and apparently the ones who weren't doing hosed up mind experiments were all eating acid and talking about marx

my favorite part is they only got so much scrutiny because soylent tries to sell itself as "replaces all food" instead of just "is a food".

When I lived in Bernal Heights for a minute the neighbor behind me got a rooster that would sleep in the tree outside my window. Every day at four thirty for like 45 minutes this loving thing cockadoodlin' out there joined by choruses of 'shut up you poo poo rooster'. It lasted like three weeks before somebody blasted it.

can't wait for gen x and millennials to make us pine for the days of "conservative" boomer politics even the most conservative boomers weren't literal nazis

nope, the kkk dwindled as their largely "greatest generation"/silent generation base died off they were virtually gone during the height of boomer politics in the 80s and 90s but lo and behold are on the upswing with gen x coming into power and rising as millennials join their ranks basically any time you are inclined to blame boomers for something, you are actually thinking of gen x because gen x is roughly in the same age bracket as you think boomers are

so gen-x is responsible for the late-60's early-70's college students who were actively trying to murder black kids when my mom was in school, ok sure

fishmech posted:in the 80s the boomers were still largely in the pre-voting ages under 35. hope this helps. only the absolutely youngest that still qualify as baby boomers, the vast majority were 40+ through that period which means they had the largest share of the vote they were in power throughout some of the most prosperous economic times since the end of wwii and saw that prosperity dwindle and shatter when gen x came into power and oversaw the financial crisis of the mid 00s and are directly responsible for the rise of ultra-conservative politics we see today the reason this isn't obvious to yosposters is that they are, by and large, gen x or millennials and are in denial

like i'm not saying gen-x and millennials aren't just as bad or worse, it's just odd that you pick the generation that grew up watching people throw death threats at little girls because they wanted to go to school as being somehow pure

no, they were of college age at the time or skewing slightly later since a lot of those generations didn't go to college until later in life on the gi bill after korea/vietnam

stymie they were mostly 18 to 24 year olds, like my mom, who was actually there, who helped make a human chain around the student union building to keep people from storming it and murdering all the black kids, and who can confirm with 100% certainty that your evaluation of boomers as somehow not also full of racists and nazis is wrong
