I would really like a “Where are they now?” update on this guy. He constantly dunked on recent college grads after the job and economy crashes (and never recovered) for being crushed by student loan debt because clearly it was their fault for picking an useless degree unlike him, a very smart conservative, who would have no issue getting a well paying job because he was a law student at a low ranking law school

Apparently he's swung somewhat to the left; judging by his Twitter feed he's pretty disgusted with Trump and thinks the alt-right are idiots, and spends most of his effort on being a Good Christian (and distancing himself from evangelicals). He even retweeted someone saying something positive about AOC.

If you're curious about my Internet Detectiving, I googled "Ralph and Chuck" and the twitter feed for his comic has his personal account linked in the bio.

Americans, for like the whole of the 20th century, have been DEEPLY CONCERNED with demonstrating that, actually, they're quite wealthy and do wealthy people things.

Example: Literally Everything About Weddings

Well to be fair there are a whole lot of people who actively cultivate that concern so that they can sell things.

The explosion in the complexity of silver service and tableware sets is pretty much a direct result of the Comstock mine being found in Nevada and silversmiths trying to find ways to keep people buying after everyone with any money had a full standard set. For fucks sake they made spoons specifically for berries and some spoons designed for people with mustaches.

Modern wedding example - how many cakes are we up to now, 5? Bachelorette, Bachelor, Reception, Groom, and Wedding/Bride?

One nice thing that my mother is doing is trying to dispose of all that life time of stuff that she's accumulated before she dies. She remembered hating dealing with the stuff from her parents when they died so she's trying to avoid it happening to her kids. She has some fancy glassware, but it's keepsakes from relatives she remembers and she knows that it means absolute nothing to us. There will still be a lot of stuff to deal with when she passes, that's just the way of the world, but it's a lot less than it was a few years ago.

I'm done with generational wars for now (see you in 20 years) but I'm mad at avocado toast just because avocados are too mushy, not because of who likes it or when they were born. I can provide receipts from 1985 that say "no guac" to prove this if you'd like.

The reason there is so much china around is that at one point it was very common to get a set as a wedding present. Then that china is handed down through generations. Nobody wants it any more. A couple years back my parents pulled theirs out of storage and I told them I would take a shot at selling it for them; I received no interest at any price. Use it for target practice.

Are you literally Ben Garrison, didn't he do this where someone asked about weird poo poo in his cartoon and he thought they didn't know the subject matter instead of understanding it was a dig on his stupid labels? If you're not making fun of that and you think by me asking that question I have never heard of the sirens, that's really something.

If you've heard of the sirens then why the gently caress were you asking about hostages

Millenials carry around $1000 phones that they switch out regularly so they have the proper phone and collect vinyl and cassette editions of albums that were nearly worthless a decade ago (as easy examples). Those are wealth signifiers and explaining them away as "doing it for fun" is invalid because boomers will also say that they bought golden boxer dog statues "just for fun" too.

I'm only saying this as a GenX person who spent way too much time justifying bullshit by claiming to do it ironically. Don't repeat our mistake (you will). Claiming to not do something or justifying that thing doesn't actually undo it.

To continue this derail, I don't know a single person, including myself, who can afford to drop a $1000 for a phone. The average person has nothing to do with these culture wars. The wealthiest 10-20% boomers are writing bitchy articles about the wealthiest 10-20% millenials while the average person wonders what the gently caress.

To clarify, the wealthiest millenials are still poor as gently caress.

Anyway I kinda wonder how much of this "the kids don't want to inherit my China" type stuff is a white people thing, considering how racism and discrimination was used to keep people of color from benefiting from the explosion of suburban opulence post-WW2 that let white boomers build up their smaug-piles of unused but jealously guarded possessions.

I think the other thing about Jacob Wohl that adds to his particular broth of unpleasantness is he tries to be Mr. "Very Serious Journalist Man" but he looks like a 13-year-old in a suit going to the 8th grade dance.

I'm not saying it's his fault he has a baby face, but when you add all his garbage conspiracy theories together with his whiny/entitled personality and aforementioned baby face looks and it's no wonder basically nobody takes him seriously.

Maybe it's just my lovely economic status, but I have never in my life met a millennial who could justify a $1000 phone or one who thought replacing their phone regularly was worth the hassle. The closest is my unreachably successful ex-girlfriend buying a $400 phone when her cheap and being uncomfortable about it.
My phone cost $180, on Black Friday, like four years ago. I do not have the money to replace it if it breaks.

I also don't know anyone my age who collects records, but my Mom and uncles all do and I used to know some people in college who probably do now.
