This is the last thing I'm gonna say about the current ragebait debate. I am 32. I was a teenager less than 15 years ago. Survival was obtainable and enjoyable. Stop letting them tell you this hellscape is normal, I will fight with you that it is not.
It’s very simple, if the next Xbox continues to support physical media and they continue to print discs for new release games, I will buy the next Xbox.
Hillary Clinton: "I had meetings in some of Saddam Hussein's palaces. It is reminiscent of what we are seeing at the WH. It's insane. It's sad, it's so tackied up. It's a reflection of his narcissistic personality. This is a man whose mind goes to where can I add gold instead of how can I get out of Iran without looking like the loser that I am."
Once upon a time there was a cloud gaming service called Google Stadia, it literally died 3 years ago because the infrastructure and the concept of streaming games is, was and always will be god awful.
AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins
BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."
YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."
BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"
YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."
BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."
YOU: "That's the whole point."
BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."
YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."
BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."
YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."
BOOMER: "That was normal back then."
YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."
BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"
YOU: "I want what was normal."
BOOMER: *silent*
You didn't outwork us.
You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.
The yacht of Mark Zuckerberg allegedly refused repeated calls by US Coast Guard looking for ships available to rescue a small boat with 2 women, a kid and a dog.

My husband makes a good living. We are comfortable. Even I am pissed off that my grocery costs have gone up 30% over the last 6 years. We rarely dine out. Pizza night on Fridays and fast food on road trips is just about it, and I tell you what, the $40.98 for 3 burgers, 3 medium fries, and 2 drinks at Whataburger for lunch on the way home from the lake has me ready to pack an ice chest and make picnic lunches again. I cook at home. I shop sales. I buy cheap cuts and make them taste good. So, from the bottom of my heart, fuck all of y’all making light of the $20 burrito. It’s a symbol, and you’d better take note because a dinner plate will change hearts and minds faster than any of your lofty bootstrap ideals.
if I was a young person being told that the best our economic system can ever offer me is working longer and longer hours to live with more and more roommates and eat worse and worse food, I might start getting this crazy idea that we need a new economic system
Paying a subscription fee in order to watch marketing in advance is a new kind of greed I never knew could be possible.
Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Netflix. And fuck Sony.
And fuck anyone who subscribes to watch this.
Hey, fuck you, Dan.
Gas was $0.85 a gallon. Textbooks weren’t $1,000. The college education we mandate every young person get just to have a shot at an entry level data entry job hadn’t gone up in price by 1,000%. The four roommate situation worked because the rent on your four bedroom house was $800 a month, not $4,000.
Boomers, and half of my generation, Gen X, are completely disconnected from the realities of today’s economy. The economy we allowed, and the incentive structures we permitted through our own negligent voting, are ravaging younger generations.
Anyone my age or older who doesn’t see that is a disconnected old hag.
