first grade:

I thought the russkies were bombing us every time we did duck-n-cover bc no one told me that "drill" meant "practice; not real"


twelfth grade:

my friends & I sit through the calling of the numbers for the birthday lottery for the draft & a few of of us burst into tears when our friend's bf comes up no. 10 for Who Gets to Go to Vietnam?


but man, that clinton impeachment was what truly wrecked me.

yah, bc all of us boomers pulled a rip van winkle for the last 30 years & didn't live this poo poo ourselves too, as well as during the prior decades when it was hell to be a woman, a minority or a gay, lol.

Not all of you, no. For every Boomer that's self aware there are plenty who aren't.

for reals tho: the clinton impeachment showed me that second-wave feminism was as shallow as anything else having to do with liberals as steinem et al. showed a passion for smearing lewinsky that they never quite roused for anything else, like healthcare for everyone.

it'd take another decade, a few more thousand dollars in political contributions to dems, and a few more thousand volunteer hours for dems, but eventually I came to my senses.

That and the poo poo will keep happening across generations as long as capitalism continues existing. We can probably all agree on that, at least?

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC



Actually, the monsters should be called the silent & greatest generations' creation.

i had a family member buy that for me as a gift. it isn't that good. the quality is very low. if you have no ability to cook at all, or are hard pressed to measure and prep a recipe, then it could be okay. i know lots of people are really busy these days, but even then there are far cheaper solutions.
