I’m glad you’re here to tell us these things!

Guess what? This user has been avidly online since the BBS days and really … posters such as yourself were very annoying back then, too.

It does. My friend just got back from Tel Aviv last week and he had some pictures of ACAB graffiti on buildings there.

I used to be a huge Stephen King junkie, read every novel within a few weeks of each release (started young by reading Salem’s Lot way too young). Then he started getting really repetitive in the mid-90s.

So I was reluctant to bother with 11/22/63 but I picked it up because the premise was totally different for King. And I was blown away - I consider it his best, by far.

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)

The most unpleasant thing about that novel was that fixing things made it infinitely worse.

Holy shit, you are right….and I can remember that shift vividly.

This happened to me literally every single session at this one particular gym.

The worst offender was the dude who suddenly plopped down next to me (which was startling) while I was on the floor doing ab work and just started jabbering away. I just pointed to my ear bud and motioned him away.

Mother fucker, I’m here to work on my fitness, not talk to every rando that decides to chat me up.

I cancelled my membership that morning.

(Note that I am a woman)

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

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