also it’s probably the only restaurant worth going to palo alto for, the hummus and pita is really loving good and everything else in palo alto has a terrible price to quality ratio

easier if you get paid in palo alto prices
printer's cafe on cal ave is pretty good for the money, again by palo alto standards
lots of good chinese food that's pretty affordable

that vegan chinese restaurant is way better than any vegan chinese restaurant has any right to be

i also just want to take a second to verify: folks aren't legitimately defending wikipedia, right? sometimes the ol irony meter gets thrown off

per the us census bureau, the first boomers turned 65 in 2011 which would mean that the oldest ones in 1980 would be 34

speaking of racist bar owner dress codes, i live right near the previous location of Hogan's on the Beach, a hulk hogan-themed bar, which had some fun dress code rules:

no do-rags or bandanas at hulk hogan's bar :allears:

Half of the bars in Arizona have a "no plain white t-shirts" policy, which I was confused about for a really long time until someone told me that plain white t-shirts are perceived to be a Mexican gang thing

I wouldn't have made that connection but I guess I'm insufficiently racist

hogan basically turned himself into a massive license whore because he's a pro wrestler with poor fiduciary skills and got divorced (see flair, ric)

don't think he actually did run it unless jimmy hart was involved (but hart isn't an actual manager, just his wrestling manager/hypeman)

so it really was just a licensing thing as opposed to scott steiner who actually bought a shoney's

also they always played edm even when hogan was there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXSHI02oQdk

100% positive jimmy hart was involved because he used to hang out there sometimes, my friends got a picture with him cuz they'd go there for lunch

e: according to a TBT article it's owned by the guy who owns the adjacent hotel, so i guess it is just a licensing thing, but i swear jimmy hart did legit hang out there a lot for some weird reason

quote:

United Continental Holdings Inc. is overhauling an incentive program to give employees a chance to win $100,000, a luxury car or a swanky vacation. One union leader says his membership would rather have a shot at bonuses that are far, far smaller — but also a much surer thing.

Under the new approach, one lucky winner will take home the six-figure cash prize every quarter, with as many as 10 people getting Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedans or $40,000 each, President Scott Kirby said in a memo to employees Friday. The program includes smaller awards as well. Workers need perfect attendance to participate. And the airline has to hit its performance targets.

lol the contractor company my dad worked for before nasa just employed him directly had a bullshit "instead of actually paying you more how about these swell gifts!!" program where you earned rewards points that you could spend on incredibly cheap plastic poo poo

he saved em' up (because who cares) and then got the one not-poo poo thing, a carpet cleaner, and now my parents have the cleanest carpets ever because they have to make it worth it :colbert:

Your conditions were "majority of baby boomers were 40 or older in the 80s"

The baby boom starts in 46, so what's your alternative end date that allows for the group to be majority over 40 by 1989?

fishmech, i know it's hard for you to accept that generation x and millennials are very bad but the worst part is you don't have to believe me, the truth will out in the years to come

if having a rhetorical victory will make you feel better about it, i'd suggest adjusting your priorities

the conventional understanding of generations is the stupidest loving poo poo

the boomer definition is just insanely broad. americans who grew up in the 50s / early 60s have a lot in common with each other: early cold war, early mass culture, post-war economic boom, strong labor, vietnam war, counterculture and reaction. people who were born in the late 50s / early 60s came of age in an almost totally world: the economic boom had slipped into recession, mass culture was fracturing, the cold war and viet nam seemed like they'd never end, and there was just this pervasively corrupt and cynical sheen to everything. somehow these people are grouped together because some of them might have had the same parents

the standard definition of millenials is literally based around 2000AD just to make the name seem better. a more sensible definition would be the people who were teenagers in that late-80s to early-00s late/post-cold-war but pre-mass-social-media era, kids who've probably grown up with video games or computers, suburb fatigue, prolonged american peace (gulf war aside), economic stability, and a sort of resurgence of mass culture (that dates a bit earlier but what can you do). these are people for whom 9/11 and the iraq war and eventually the financial crisis felt like a reversal, like the quiet sense of progress had come apart in some significant way. but again that group gets thrown in with a bunch of kids who've basically known nothing else and who've grown up in a world where an online social life is just this tremendously important thing
