Damn never knew my man Canopus was such a LIB

Played this game so many times and I've never seen this dialogue! At least he's super useful and his unit is great - seriously one of the best recruits as is Gilbert that you need him to get. You can always headcannon it that you re-educate him through the magic of comradship

Reading Kenshi forums is literally the Gus Fringe meme

You enjoy Kenshi because you get to be part of a christo fascist faction and practice slavery

I enjoy Kenshi because i can destroy the Christo facsists with a band of rad lady ninjas and end slavery with robo John Brown

We are not the same

The modern concept of generations and labeling them is bullshit because its all taken from marketing. They're only profiling a specific cohort of these "generations" - the ones with disposable income to buy the products of their clients. So when things are written about them its generally about relatively wealthy people from similarly wealthy families.

Like I’m gen Z and I do not see baby boomers as my oppressor,

That's because unlike people my age who had to misfortune of being raised by boomers, you didn't have them as parents. Even though i know generations are bullshit, it feels good to hate on them after what many of us unfortunately experienced. Plus the current concept of "boomer" is more about a state of mind - a type of reactionary attitude that isn't exclusive to when someone was born, but does tend to be associated with them. So while "generational struggle" is bullshit, in my view, the boomers don't need anyone to defend them. No one needs to speak up and say "not all boomers" anymore than anyone shouod be saying "not all men" or "not all white people."

All of that being said, there are some material reasons for the differences. Its not inherent to "boomers" because of when they were born obviously, but because of the relative prosperity they lived in and ease many of them had accumulating wealth. Because of those conditions they tend to refuse to accept the present reality. They think their lives were "normal", when in fact they lived through a massive anamoly. They won the being born lottery. They got to live their whole lives fucking around, and will never have to find out (with the exception of their children rightly not speaking to them).

In short, its important to recognize that it's not generation but class, and the modetn coception of generations is bullshit anyway. But, there does tend to be a major divide for material, but not "generational," reasons

Its almost like its more about boomers trying to enforce their weird traditional gender and racial norms onto people rather than actually trying to make an healthy learning environment.

order-of-lenin Yup, its exactly like that.

Much like quieting quitting means just having a job, i think quiet vacationing just means like when you go home

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago

Quiet quitting = just doing a job

Quiet vacationing = whenever you're not at your job

I hate when libs try to pretend like Isreal is not just an extention of the US. Their view of geopolitics is the same as view of society. Its all just individual frictionless orbs floating in space
