of all the polls that need basic filter questions up front, this one’s near the top, and you can probably guess whether they asked them lol

And I guess the 35 to 54 bracket was not statistically significant? Or is there just an underlying trend of leaving gen x'ers out of these Fox polls?

3 posted:same with planetes since one of its major themes is the spaceborne nations accelerating exploitation of non-spaceborne nations in order to develop new resource bases and the radicals actually win their demands against space-nato at the end calling for more equal distribution of space resources; likewise debris collection being necessary for future space development but since there's no profit margin no one wants to actually do it The context for this image is that this guy comes from a South American country that's being invaded by the UN for some reason or other, and the factory where his "budget" spaceship that's basically just an upscaled spacesuit just got blown up by a tank. Planetes is the most Third Worldist anime ever. The Global North isn't just hoarding all the gains of space development, they're actively keeping the third world underdeveloped. Letting space be developed according to the sociopathic logic of capitalism leads to nightmarish situations. Characters introduced earlier in the show dreaming of living in space end up as virtual slave labor in the slums of the Moon while working on the Jupiter exploration vessel.

 bernie's inheritance was of an amount that pooling it with their savings, it allowed for he, his wife, and his brother to together buy a piece of undeveloped woodland to camp in for $2,500, equivalent of $20,000 in 2019 dollars.

But hey Oregon Trail is a great game.

It's literally just a marketing term. Your generation has nothing to do with who you are as a person. It doesn't have to define your identity. It's a mess because it literally doesn't matter in the slightest. To use a relevant generational cultural reference, you are not your generation for the same reason you are your loving khakis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPSblh7osjU The I day I first associate myself with any marketing slogan dreamed up to sell energy drinks is the day I put myself out of my misery.

It makes sense in retrospect how Tyler Durden would become popular with CHUDs, when his solution to neoliberal dystopia was founding gay communes where nobody fucks.

I just assume Jordan Peterson recycles Fight Club quotes and restates the themes but I will never be able to confirm this theory as I will never under any circumstance read anything he has ever written or ever listen to anything he has said.   I admit I don't understand much about identity politics. I don't relate very strongly with any of the identities I have been assigned since birth. But I am especially puzzled to see the way people embrace identities based around arbitrary year delimiters designated by cellphone salespersons to facilitate the creation of targeted advertising. I usually tell myself nobody is so shallow as to actually relate with these caricatures of a social group, but sometimes I have nagging doubts

Chard posted:tribalism is a sonuvabitch and we all buy into external identities all the time whether we realize it or not (nearly?) all personal markers of identity are defined retaliative to humanity as a whole or have socially defined definitions that lack most meaning outside of context even something as benign as "i like apples" only makes sense relative to the standards of your peers; in a society where everyone is fanatically devoted to apple consumption, our standards for "liking apples" would be akin to hating it, or would be so alien a concept to lack any meaning

A lot of the generational politics, mostly on the younger end, exist as much because people of certain age cohorts are finding they have a lot of problems in common, and can be a rebellion against capitalist atomisation of the individual's problems.

Filthy Hans posted:if you were raised by apes you'd still probably have an opinion on apples and everything else you eat probably a stronger point would be that even if you were "raised" alone, deserted on an (apple bearing) island you'd have an opinion on apples; but more to point, it wouldn't really be a thing you thought of as a means of personal identity. we don't tell other people that we don't like eating plastic because thats just totally normal and expected and really can't be used to define you either as an individual or a member of a group. sure, if pressed, you'd go "yeah I don't like eating plastic" but its kind of a weird thing to remark upon, like "i enjoy breathing air". even if you enjoyed apples more than anything, would it really be something you'd find remarkable enough to notice if you totally lacked any social context to place it? tbf it was an intentional rhetorical overreach on my part but its for real kind of hard to fathom what it'd be like to actually have no social context for even basic things like opinions on food. identities are weird; im not sold on the idea that its so much tribalism as something ingrained with how we define everything in the world that bleeds into our social spheres. even calling yourself "totally average and normal" only has a means of defining you as distinct from those that have distinction. there are "objective" ways to measure and quantify stuff but when we lack relative standards for understanding things it starts to get very difficult to get a bead on things; people can intuitively grasp the difference between one and one hundred, but its inexplicably harder when its a million and a billion. just something about the human mental process or something that drives us to define based on comparisons and distinctions, but idk, im a pontificating fuckhead

I'm pretty sure animals can and do have favourite foods, ask any pet owner. Though in that specific case I wonder if it's because eating is a very social activity for humans in particular.

I usually tell myself nobody is so shallow as to actually relate with these caricatures of a social group, but sometimes I have nagging doubts You're confused because these aren't "identities" that people embrace, but demographics which can be measured and which have material interests that can be plotted and advertised to. Bridging the gap between a consumptive demographic and an identity based around that consumption is what the cultivation of nerd culture is all about. You can't relate with that infographic because you're not in a position to buy a house or buy a car. It's not meant for people to relate to, it's meant for advertising goblins.

I guess you could say a "favorite" food is favorite relative to other things but I guess its also not that remarkable of an idea that basically all measurements and means of ordering/sorting data have to done via comparisons and relative relationships to something else. But if the favorite food is unusual, we like to use it as a marker to define our pet's uniqueness. Here have something ghastly instead of me babbling
