@RobertFreundLaw Be that as it may.

@PintsForThePoor But they shouldn’t

Outside investors should never own any fraction of law firms.

@loonlake55 Boomers justifying what they ruined for everyone else. Just a bunch of selfish whiner cop-outs who sold the future and this country down the river without a thought about the generations to come. Your parent were right to be appalled.

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

@robertgraham It's not a policy. It's the fucking Constitution. It doesn't matter what people want as policy. I don't want everybody owning a gun. SCOTUS has decided that the Constitution provides otherwise. I still uphold the Constitution.

I'm a centrist, so I don't know the answer to this. Do Democrats actually want "birthright citizenship" as the actual policy? Or do they simply oppose Trump acting like a dictator toward his racist goals?

@Cycario @nut_history Because nothing explains America today better than people not wanting to know how something works. JFC dude. The explanation was the best part.

@nut_history Whatever success he had, he immediately killed it with a lengthy explanation.

This dude cracked the code on how to successfully slide into someone’s DMs. Happened last season Take a second to read this, you won’t be disappointed

@gregoryh325 @AlexanderMcCoy4 Well, hopefully he doesn't have a massive stroke just before the election.... Because before that Fetterman was liberal/progressive.

@AlexanderMcCoy4 Hope we are sure he's not the next John Fetterman.

At this point, any political analyst that doesn’t understand what’s going on here shouldn’t be cited for their analysis.

@VesperAegis @Thefactsdude @washghost1 Context has meaning. It doesn't provide an excuse but the way things got to this point provides meaning nonetheless.

@Thefactsdude @washghost1 When you begin searching for reasons to excuse immoral behavior, rather than looking at the deed in front of you that is morally wrong and clearly identifying it as such, that's when you know there is a divide in this country that is deeper than policies or ideas.

NEW: Marion County school resource officer strikes student athlete in head with stun gun during baseball game A School Resource Officer at Pee Dee Academy in Marion County, South Carolina, is under investigation after hitting a student athlete on the side of the head with a stun gun while trying to restrain him during a baseball game this week. The student was from the opposing team. Cell phone video and eyewitness accounts captured the incident amid multiple ongoing events at the game. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office has reassigned the deputy pending the outcome of the investigation, which has been turned over to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

@upright_leftist @Her_Nonymous_D Doesn’t really matter ultimately. Karma picks its own path.

@Her_Nonymous_D So, how did you conclude that the stroke was as a result of his encounter with the girl rather than a consequence of bad habits that affects the health of an individual?

There was a girl I knew growing up who changed almost overnight. She used to be lively, always around, but then she became withdrawn, quiet, like she was carrying something she couldn’t put down. Eventually, she opened up to a few of us. She told us she had been…

@JimMuessig @Acyn Do republicans think it doesn’t?

@Acyn Do the Dems and the media think this talking point actually works?

Trump: I used a mail in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States, I did a mail in ballot for Florida because I felt I should be here. Reporter: But you were in Palm Beach

@ChrisMartin1961 @2laurabone You asume that most boomers are like you. Most boomers are not. Also, if you're decade was the 70s then you definitely did it wrong.

@2laurabone I was born in 1961, later Boomer, look it up. By the 80’s I was a father and working, my decade was the 70’s.

I’m seeing, yet again, this surge of hatred for the Boomer generation. I’m a late season Boomer, born in 1961; I’ve worked for nearly 50 years, have been in the same profession for 37 years, I’ve routinely worked 45-60 hours a week. I don’t get why we are so vilified.

@Camp4 I think you are 100% discounting the 1992 Houston Republican Convention - it was evil, the rise of Newt Gingrich, and, Operation Rescue's 1988 (Atlanta) and 1993 (Wichita) anti-abortion protests.

One of my contrarian takes: Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since. It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies. “Excess meets innocence.” The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity. Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX. Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech: Mobile phones The internet Social media AI All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society. We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one. Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction. Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

@adam2392 @LIRR I’m shocked you still have a job since you never take the earlier train that will actually get you to your job in time. It’s a good thing you boss has just as little intelligence because clearly neither of you can adapt.

I take the @LIRR to work everyday and pay $250+ for a monthly “peak” ticket for over 1 year now. I have never had the train come on time a single time. Not a single time. You get to work at least 10-15 mins later than estimated on a daily basis. How has this become acceptable?

@CThomasGallery @JavierBlas Well, it sure ain't gonna be the Democrats.

@JavierBlas Many friends and acquaintances said that I (and others like me) were wrong about Trump or had TDS when I predicted that his reelection would be a catastrophe for us all. Sadly, this is all just beginning. Only God can save us now it seems.

BREAKING: Qatar says that its Ras Laffan industrial city, home to a massive LNG plan, was hit by Iranian missiles. "Emergency response teams were deployed immediately to contain the resulting fires, as extensive damage has been caused." Note the wording: "extensive damage"

@Hotshot_Movie To Kill A Mockingbird would like a word with you.

When I was working on Sideways (which was adapted from a book), I asked the director, Alexander if the book were any good. "No it sucks. You don't adapt great books. You adapt shitty books that have an interesting premise, or a kernel of something that you can exploit and improve. Good books don't make good movies. You have to build a screenplay from the ground up. And nobody is gonna be mad at me for changing the details of a Rex Pickett novel. But God help you if you try to change 2 words in the Lord of the Rings." Brilliant dude.

@PanasonicDX4500 Funny - I was just thinking that about Bugonia, Marty Supreme, and Frankenstein.

My one other Oscar take is that it's time we go back to five nominees for Best Picture. It's going to leave some good movies out but like that's the point. We do not need to keep living in a world where F1 and Train Dreams are Best Picture nominees.

@otheranthony @_adityasingh20 Don't forget Ange set it low first....

@_adityasingh20 Yep. He set the bar so low. That part was on him.

A big part of the reason why each & every Spurs player keeps making mistakes is that their confidence is rock bottom. And the entire blame for that goes to Thomas Frank.

@Don_Falcone2 So, are we blaming this on Ange, Franks, Tudor, Redknapp, Poch, Conte or who? I know - Levy.

We have the worst goal keeper in the premier league. In fact, we have 2 of the worst goals keepers in the premier league. We are going nowhere when we have Vicario as our number 1 dropping clangers every single game he plays. Absolute dog shit 💩

@Don_Falcone2 It's the Ange relegation match. He did such a sterling job at both clubs.

Forest look woeful don’t they? Can’t score for shit. They getting 3+ against us ain’t they?

@ASFleischman Claude is better.

One of the best uses of chat gpt is plugging your brief in and asking it to spot the typos before you submit.

@FinFreedom414 @Butterf29118560 Nice. Ask people to answer an either/or then crap on them when they choose the option you don't like. Uncool dude.

@Butterf29118560 Well, you were once kid.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?
