Generalizations only work so well. Some millennials chastise Gen Z and some support them.

I am an Eldritch millennial and everyone that I know thinks Gen Z is pretty awesome. We’re just trying to hold the world together for them.

That cat is high AF.

I see Boomers saying that…usually calling the 20 year olds “millennials”.

Most millennials know they’ve been dealt an even shittier hand than we were.

You’d think people who want to live forever would care more about the environment. But I guess the worst consequences they’ll face is a shorter ski season.

Standard furniture kink, just in water? Sounds like fun. I’m curious about buoyancy though.

Etcetera knows what it did. 😤

I support gay rights but I LOVE gay wrongs.

Throughout history, a terrible number of people have died because some zealot thought they were doing the right thing.

If a police officer “knows” someone is guilty, what do you think about breaking the rules to ensure they are punished?

Most restaurants keep reservations in a $2.75 spiral notebook.

I doubt an online reservation calendar would be $10k for a single restaurant, but still…the only profit is marginal: the people who eat there who would have without the online calendar, and I doubt it would recoup the costs in a quarter or two. Especially considering that the wealth gap and tech gap mean that the number of people who want to schedule online is inversely related to the people who can afford to eat out a lot.

I’ve decided to believe that there was a grueling audition process and he ultimately had to go forward with his second choice.

This is just astoundingly out of touch. When I asked “why”, I was looking for evidence. What evidence do you have to support your supposition? Nothing.

To the contrary, polling says that only 10% of people cared about Gaza. The American people are largely tuned out of politics. Democrats’ first instinct is to always blame leftists, but the problem is that people don’t want to vote for more of the same.

Harems seem to seldom be consensual. It’s too bad really. But also one just doesn’t hear about consensual nonmonogamy much in the mainstream, so I suppose there probably are some.

It is on the candidate to inspire people. Yeah, the left was lukewarm to a candidate that was trying her best to court Republicans. How else could you expect that to play out?

Only 10% of the electorate even cared about Gaza. You’re giving the American people entirely too much credit.

You really think the 15 million people who voted for Biden but not Kamala was “misplaced sense of moral superiority”? Why?

Imagine thinking that billions of dollars in campaign funds were overturned by a picture posted on Lemmy.

The Left is a group so insignificant that we don’t need to cater to their positions at all, but so massive that they’re completely responsible any time we lose.

I’m not terribly bright, but I’ve never understood the original statement.

If I bash my right hand on a typewriter an infinite number of times, that will never turn into the complete works of Shakespeare. If we assume a monkey will enter one random letter at a time, that probably would, but that is a big assumption that a monkey would be actually random.

Having two different realities is not good. I’m not sure what is to be done about it though. Some people will always choose to believe the easy lie over the difficult truth.

Ignoring Fox and the crazies for a moment, how often have mainstream networks given equal time to climate change deniers and actual scientists, pretending there was a debate where there wasn’t one.

I want to push back a little on “we all agreed on what was and what was not reality.” When there were three TV stations, did any of them highlight police brutality? Overincarceration? The military industrial complex? Anything that would hurt their sponsor’s bottom lines?

The news networks we have today are all owned by large media conglomerates. They range from pro-corporate to pro-fascist. I’m glad that there are enough independent voices that we can hear from people who don’t profit off of the status quo. It’s unfortunate that right wing media is so prevalent and well funded, but if there is an answer to that, it’s not going back to the days when Walter Cronkite, CBS, and Gulf+Western would tell us “That’s the way it is”.

It is more difficult than a few years ago, especially if you don’t want to get sued or get a threatening letter from your ISP.

I would only torrent with a VPN and a private tracker. It’s certainly not difficult to learn, but absolutely requires some small amount of information to acquire.

I like my Halloween candy like I like my coffee: without a penis.
