That era of Internet history was wild. Between weird sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.

I think you're absolutely wrong (anecdote incoming after my question), but let's assume for a second that you're correct. Why were the millennials as children blamed when they're not at trophy shops buying their own trophies?

Anecdote, as promised: I grew up in a very small, very conservative town. They love Supply Side Jesus and the Prosperity Gospel, and they hate the welfare queens that they were sure stole every dime of their tax money. In the 90s they got way into making sure THEIR kid got trophies while simultaneously complaining that all kids got trophies.

I don't believe the millennials, who were children in the 90s, bought their own trophies. I don't believe it was only progressives thinking their children were snowflakes. I also don't think you'll care because it doesn't square with your beliefs and you don't seem like the kind of person that's intelligent enough to process any new information that isn't about Jesus getting tougher on crime.

I remember when I was a kid I used to pretend the weirdest stuff. Once I was sitting on a picnic table behind the school and I pretended I was loved and safe.

I did stop pretending like that pretty early though because I was afraid of being seen as weird.

I think it's wild that he's more qualified than most politicians (BA in political science from Harvard in case anyone doesn't know) to speak about politics but politicians want him to keep the politics out of his music.

I've made it two decades in IT and related fields by searching for answers using Google. I accidentally took my laziness, love of automation, and ability to Google and became an SRE. Then I accidentally became a senior software engineer because the director on that side of the house liked my initiative and was sure my skills would translate. I protested but got a substantial bump to do it.

I'm failing upwards by abusing stack overflow and search engines.

It was probably tainted.

D.A.R.E. raised my awareness of drugs. I only used them for wholesome purposes.

She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn't dying early. It sure isn't dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.

This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.

I didn't say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you're feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it's showing more about you than about me.

Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don't have to be here to see the fallout.

Like 6 years ago, but she served in the Senate until September 29th.

It's my fault. I signed up for it before I realized it was a pro China instance and the other day I said I'm not a Communist.
