For everyone melting down in the comments, just look at Schill's posts from the last 24 hours. His USC posts have 10X the engagement of anything else, which is my point. Your reading comprehension is making my Leisure Studies degree look way more valuable than it is haha

Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%. I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.
heretical lakeloon@loonlake55

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!

If you homeschool your kids, you should be exempt from the portion of your property taxes that goes to the local schools.

If anyone looked right beneath the surface, they’d be able to see that Red Lobster’s real downfall was not offering endless shrimp — it was private equity’s endless greed.

Guy who is convinced that the social media popularity of Taylor Swift and LeBron was astroturfed but that Gunther Eagleman and Catturd are now the most engaged accounts by sole merit.
Dispropaganda@Dispropoganda

These were the top 20 Twitter accounts with the most engagement in 2021. They were mostly either democrats, or celebrities pushing democrat talking points. Not a single conservative or Republican account among them.

My high school dropout boomer parents got married at 18 and 17 and lived in a cold water (no hot water) flat in the core city of St. Louis. They had three kids and rented apartments for 17 years before they bought their first modest home. They both worked multiple jobs and drove beater cars or took the city bus. AND they were thankful because they didn't have to do all of that during the depression which was worse. This was the common experience of most of our neighbors as well. That's why they were called working class. You are so spoiled and pampered you have no idea. Sit down and shut up You can complain and blame others or you can work your rear off for decades with no vacation.

It’s insane how little compassion so many boomers have for young people.

I’m serious about paid leave. Yeah, it’s fine for the public sector when the taxpayer pays the bill and most of the work is fake. How do people think it works in the private sector? You have a team of six people. One person goes AWOL for six months. What do you think happens to the other five people?

I’m sorry, I used to think the “conspiracy theorists” were just nutters. This week I’ve decided we were conned. Hear me out. That 1969 spacecraft I watched on my black and white TV had less computing power than your wristwatch, less than some thermostatic controllers I have on my walls. This week NASA sent a $93billion spacecraft to *orbit* the moon, just orbit, in preparation for an actual moon landing in a few years time. Why on earth would it take us 57 years, and a $93b test flight, with the compute power and comms facilities we have today, if we’d already done it successfully, once before, with so little, 57 years ago. Nah, I’m now with the conspiracy theorists.

Who among us watched man’s first walk on the moon? Sunday, July 20, 1969.

Research is clear: the most effective way to reduce chronic absenteeism is simple—contact parents immediately, every time a student is absent. Yet too few schools do it. Why?

I will never understand this attempted dunk because even if it’s true, it changes nothing. I genuinely, don’t understand—do you think this would change my mind? Do you think this would make me stop and say “woah there, I guess he’s NOT the Son of God and DIDN’T die for our sins!”

Just a reminder for Christian's celebrating Easter this week. Jesus looked like the guy in the first picture - not the second.
