In the case of many GenX folks: “our turn” will never arrive. The Boomers refused to fucking retire and make room for us, and younger generations conflate us with Boomers because “old is old”.

Meanwhile we are working our asses off helping our elderly parents navigate an increasingly hostile health system (yay, capitalism) while giving our adult children a place to live or money to survive an increasingly impossibly expensive society. Can’t afford to save for retirement either.

“Hooray”

(fyi - I also think that term limits are the way to go here - finish your terms, then gtfo. None of this waiting around for 20 years for “my turn” and certainly none of that “just wheel the old corpse in and tell her how to vote” bullshit either)

This is great!

And thank you for the reminder to dig around until I find that obscure forum post that had the wiring diagram and instructions on how to disable Starlink on Subarus.

This is very much my concern as well.

This was exactly my first thought.

And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.

He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC

Infidelity is somewhat common but I would say it’s not “normal” at all to openly discuss and laugh about it at dinner with a bunch of people that you haven’t seen for years.

Seriously- wtf is wrong with these people? That one person sounds especially horrible.

Also - don’t go to any more reunions. I’ve managed to avoid 40 years of that shit and I like to believe that I’m happier for it!

They will still figure out a way to blame Biden/Democrats/DEI/woke agenda tho … and people will swallow it.

Agreed…Lemmy slightly reminds me of the early days of Internet forums/chatrooms/etc.

Yes, I’m old.

Ok …. Your enthusiasm about the pdf ripping has won me over. I’m trying this shit asap

I beg to differ

I wonder how close they anticipate that vote being.

My bet is those 3 votes would have made a difference.

Oh shit….I need to go get that!

(Speaking of books …. time to go see if that fancy hardback edition of Cibola**Burn is ever going to get released.

edit: it’s not coming out any time soon 😤

They absolutely were.

Well, yes…and it’s been quite obvious for some time now.

I can’t have been the only person who noticed the weird sudden pattern of American Neo-Nazis with hot Russian wives a decade ago.

Damn…his people are spamming everyone, aren’t they? I got two of these this week (stop for both, obviously)

Her little face 🤣🤣🤣

Stubborn and creative!

I like it :)

These people are fucking monsters

Thinking back on how long and hard FWISD fought against desegregation, and the stupid “malicious compliance” games they would play to follow it when forced by the Federal Government - this is exactly what it all boils down to.

These assholes are angry that they’ve been forced to share “their” public spaces with black folks, and they have tried everything under the Sun for the last 50+ years to undo it.
