Counterpoint, Parenti is still alive and not cringe.

Could you blame us though? After years of "you'll understand when you're older and get more conservative" it starts to feel a little patronizing. I think there's some serious age-ism going on in the US and it isn't primarily pointed at older people. Younger people are almost entirely unrepresented in government and our interests are not being seen to. I'm not saying it's because they're old and their brains have shriveled or whatever, but their material conditions do not align them with young peoples' interests in a lot of cases.

Climate change and social program apathy are forms of ageism as far as I'm concerned. Where's that student debt bail out? I'm going to have negative wealth for some time, just because I decided to get an education and be a more effective worker.

Mullvad is only $5 a month just sayin'

I've noticed all my British shows have gone missing over the last couple years from the usual torrent sites. I'm kind of surprised because (I'm going to get my head bitten off for this take) the BBC is making better content than anything America has put out in the last few years.

Still on prime because I save more than I spend using it.

32GB of storage? Could I put my audiobooks on there and stream them directly to some headphones? Cause that would be sick.

You just hit a certain age and where you previously had zero repercussions for drinking, now anything more than two drinks fucks your shit up for days.

That's Todd Howard's fault for inventing micro transactions😔

After a road trip with my 11 year old brother where we listened to a lot of music I heard him singing "Colorado uber alles" data-laughing

I did the "it's almost like" trope just for you, Ulysses

Hey I liked Big Yud, and especially how he speedran to absurdity with his tech bro talking points. He was a great crash course for me in the way comfortable liberals defend their semi-intentional blind spots and how to clock a stem supremacist so I can disengage before I waste my time.

"AI can't be racist it's literally just a computer. It's only racism if it's on purpose and computers can't do racism on purpose so it's fine" < guy who spends half his waking hours thinking about how AI could accidentally on purpose humanity to death 🤔
Funny how he overlooked that. Almost like you need a sociologist in the room to keep you hinged.
