A smart phone is basically a box with a button and you push the button and it releases dopamine. Adults can barely control their behavior on them.

Furnaceface posted:Arent boomers also the highest risk group for opioid overdose? If only because they more likely had decent insurance/medicare that paid for more expensive starter opioids when that was the thing to be prescribed for pain. As was the case for anyone of any generation with debilitating pain with decent coverage at the time. Looks like older folks in CA are the main customers in THC shoppes there though (despite how hosed up that bureaucratic system is), mostly to get off their opioid pain meds, so there's that. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/us/california-today-marijuana-consumers-by-the-numbers.html

Silly Burrito posted:Truth. 1978 here, and it's very weird to think of growing up now without cameras or social media everywhere. I think I remember hearing about Facebook in 2005 or 2006 and wondering what the hell it was. 1982 myself. I love every word of that article. And on more than one occasion my college friends and I have discussed how thankful we were that Facebook and smartphones weren't things when we were undergrads.

The term is clearly Elder Millennial. You get the natural resistance to most advertising (but not nostalgia) and are weak to Instagram based attacks.

It's all meaningless outside of some specific demographic contexts and everyone hates the label they end up with. Dumb poo poo like "Oregon Trail Generation" exists because some people really don't want to be called millennials, even though 1980+ was always solidly Not Gen X.

I mean, generational stuff is all dumb but I have very little in common with a kid who has lived their entire lives with high speed internet either. Not to mention whatever cultural and ethnic divides there are within generations. Yeah, it's meaningless. So is everything else, ultimately. Guess we'd better stop communicating.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:That is ummm interesting strategy In an era of fake news, I've wondered if this would be an effective attack tactic too. You know, rather than as self-destruct button for your campaign. Just accuse your opponent of supporting and opposing EVERYTHING. Doesn't matter what it is, just every single possible position on every single issue. Then run your campaign on just One Dumb Issue repeated ad nauseum with a simple slogan to remember it by. Even if people hate your position, at least they know SOMETHING about you. Your opponent is apparently a sprawling mass of contradictions, so you look better by default, right? Wait... Why does all of this sound eerily familiar? No, for real. Obviously sounds like 2016 poo poo, but I'm just dumb enough I can't draw the parallels accurately... if they actually exist.

"Hatshepsut was controversial for many reasons, which I won't go into here since you can look them up on Wikipedia. In short, she called herself 'king' and dressed like a male ruler, given that Egypt had essentially no concept of a female ruler at the time, and the general assumption was that any woman in power must have a figure controlling her, people put the blame for everything on her chief minister, Senemut." Dang upper Egyptians of a certain age.

Is it time for another reminder that generational warfare and arbitrary definitions is how the elite keep people arguing and fighting to avoid people focusing on the real enemies of all generations, the wealthy. Don't make me tap the sign.

I was born during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I do not remember the Kennedy assassination (although my wife does; she's 6-years older than me). My mother took me & my sisters on a march in Philadelphia when Dr. King was murdered. I remember Vietnam dominating the news, and everything after. I am a Boomer
