I'm in the same boat and dislike the thought that it's only downhill from here, my future is full of poo poo that would embarrass and mortify the poo poo out of present-day me.

Of course I'm also embarrassed and mortified by my past. So you know

With his numerous US government/defense contracts that could really gently caress him and I'm fairly certain he's not at all smart enough to know that.

Honestly by the time the next election really starts up I'm not sure twitter is going to be in healthy enough state for it to even sort of matter, and I think he's blown he's load with all the "twitter leaks" that no one gave a drat about.

Republicans want him running Twitter, they'll make it such a headache or give such a runaround for anyone who would try to give a poo poo to the point it will get dropped.

To be fair, this is really the root of most Boomerific stuff. It's fear of a changing world, when you're just too old to change your mind about anything.
I'm praying I manage to keep my mind flexible as I age, but I'm sure I'll do *something* entirely cringeworthy. Probably already have, since I'm already 50, and therefore practically dead.

I'm not keeping track of posters or the instances where its happening, but as some who has been on this site from their teens to now late twenties I'm definitely seeing more "argument" and/or discussion styles that I tend to associate with people in their late 45s to 50s, so its happening to this userbase too.

That’s exactly it, fear of a changing world, but you don’t need to be old, it’s why polarization works at any age

Desperate fearful people love to hang on to strong men who will save them, deliver them from darkness and who won’t make them think too much

Usually they pick strong powerful leaders like Donner Kebabs Trump (lol) and Elon Musk (lmao)

Goons are getting so old and out of touch that it's honestly kind of depressing. I only check in on a handful of threads these days but I'm considering dropping SA entirely because it really is becoming a nursing home for early internet posters.

I recently had the opposite happen. I work with this dude Colin. He's 87 years old, white, born in the south, wealthy af (just does this job to stay busy), so you can guess where his political/social leanings are at.

Last weekend he starts in with one of his rants about the Chinese balloon is full of COVID and various other Fox News crazy. He wraps up with "I just don't understand this world anymore, JD. [pause while I neutrally nod] And that Musk guy, he sure is a piece of work. Don't trust him, no ma'am."

After 2 years of cringing over whatever political subject du jour Colin would bring up, we finally found common ground!

If you’re a right winger and not a Twitter lover then Musk is just the guy that makes the cars that you like to roll coal on

I mean I'm 27 so I'm getting old, but a lot of goons were posting here when I was in kindergarten and a good chunk are probably old enough to be my dad, and you never want to hear from people old enough to be your dad.

Ask me about my STD collection!
I'm having a hard time finding the answer for something and thought maybe I'd ask here.

When you're looking at hybrid cars, is MPG the true MPG that the car actually gets, like the average? Or does it refer to the mileage only when consuming gas?

I was taking a look at the Volvo S60 and how it only gets 35 MPG as a hybrid and I can't help but think that just sucks? My combustion Mazda 3 gets that. Make it make sense?

I don't think it's actually standardised, but MPGe is usually the number cited when including electrical mileage - searching that model and MPGe pulls up a review saying the non-hybrid version gets 35MPG in the city while the hybrid is attributed 74MPGe.

If it's not a plug-in hybrid then that's what it is. Most cars that have some externally charged battery have an MPGe rating.

But MPGe is really annoying - there's basically an assumption baked in of how many kWh correspond to a gallon of gas and its an annoying and worthless stat. Cost per mile is usually what actually matters and is comparable for electric and gas components.
