Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:loving Ask the new EV plant that's opening up on the outskirts of Savannah, creating jobs. Ask the studios in GA where a lot of movies and streaming shows are being made. Does she go outside of her own district? Does she talk to anyone beyond her own reflection in the mirror? (That's metaphorical, because I think she'd attack her own reflection like a parakeet.)

If you ever need to prove to anyone that Donald Trump is a cult leader, ask yourself if anyone on January 6 would've been there if their pastor asked them to do it.

Dementropy posted:Ask the new EV plant that's opening up on the outskirts of Savannah, creating jobs. *shrug* It's the Sartre quote again. The words being used are hollow, meaningless vessels that will be changed out on a whim as soon as the direction of the conversation heads somewhere else. The only thing that matters to fascists is the emotional content of those hollow vessels. The hatred they contain, and the target they're shot at. LIBURALS BAD, HATE THEM. There, that's what she said. Any other interpretation is just chasing after your own shadow and giving in to the fascist framing of the conversation.

Gen X is a fake generation. The ones over 50 are boomers, the ones under 50 are geriatric millennials.

Aramis posted:It'd be nice if they just straight-up acknowledged that the brunt of military spending is economic stimulus and government employment dog medicine wrapped in jingoism-flavored cheese. When i'm bored i poke around on google maps and it's not only shocking how many military bases there are in rural america, It's clear it's the only thing keeping a lot of small towns alive. There's a navy base in Tennessee. It is the same size as the nearby town of Millington. Tennessee doesn't have a coastline. Also shocking just how many fighter jets there are just sitting around everywhere. Trillions of dollars worth of fighter jets with a total combined air-air combat count of 1 weather balloon.

kw0134 posted:You're basically selling the house in increments while you get to stay in it, so it's a product with a purpose, but it's so easy to abuse it, and at the same time it's marketed to a particularly vulnerable population so it's just sketchy all aroubd. It really is the final "gently caress you" the boomers can give to posterity: a posthumous FYGM that leaves nothing real behind. TrashMammal posted:ain’t nothing ever been stopping you from punching back aside from your own cowardice "As long as you don't kill 'em or something it's fine, we don't care." - a paraphrase of a truancy officer when talking about getting a kid 10-15 back into school through the use of violence. There was a lot of heinous poo poo at the hands of lead-addled boomers during the 80s and into the 90s that victimized then-underage cohorts to the point of legislation, which the younger generations benefited from before being born. It's not an excuse, but it's hard to translate a whole life experience simply. Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:loving  Protect Georgia from what?

There were never enough of us relative to other generations to have our own identity, and this division splits right down my family. My oldest sibling is a total boomer, whereas I identify with the millennials.

I find zoomers to be more fun to talk to as they usually have the same cynicism and nihilism as people in my age range (late 40s). And we can both rip on millennials.

I currently help feed and care for my grandfather, 96 and grandmother, 95, a couple times a week. I love them but they have been absolutely poisoned politically by my aunt and her husband, who are giant maga idiots. It pains me, but I hope one or both kick it before the election. They will absolutely vote trump because of my aunt and uncle. When my reasonable side of the family cares for them, we talk about what they need, what the weather is doing, what's going on with the house, what do they want to eat this week, pleasant things that let them think things through and engage them. When my aunt is over there, it's literally about how Biden is the antichrist and how trump is a holy man and he's fighting for them while Biden is trying to take everything away from them. I would not doubt for a second that if they were to die close to election time, there would be mail in ballots in their names for trump.

My oldest sibling is a total boomer, whereas I identify with the millennials. Yeah, I’m 45, and my life experience definitely feels like the Millennials, except maybe I lived with a rotary dial phones and TV antennas a bit longer than most of them. I’ve seen the transitional years referred to as the Oregon Trail generation, but at that point it seems like you’re narrowing things down way too much.
