@VlynnQ@KeruboSk Man Gen x were fucken bad asses...where are you guys in politics? we need you guys to fight the bullshit, come on man...you guys went through the grudge era....
Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.
@VlynnQ@Polocaust_deny@KeruboSk The only flaw of Gen X is that they're so void of giving a fuck that they deferred their time in power- and so the boomers never had to give it up
@KeruboSk Gen X hand-wrote the same essay in a black and white marbled notebook on the way to school the day it was due and got an A. We invented spell check for y’all. You’re welcome.
@itsqail 1. Baby blue Honda Odyssey: every single one has defective blinkers.
2. Subaru Outback with eleventy three million haphazardly placed social justice stickers and a dreamcatcher hanging from the rear view mirror
3. Anything with a dancing bear sticker
4. All the other minivans.
Worst drivers u can encounter on the road:
1. Teslas (all clueless)
2. Beat up Honda Civic/accord (suicidal drivers)
3. Any BMW (a different kind of douchebag/entitled)
4. Angry F-150 guys (no explanation necessary/they need therapy)
In 20 years, a good chunk of Gen X will be gone too. How the hell old do you think Baby Boomers are? My parents are approaching 80. In 20 years, I’ll be in my 70s. Gen X was a very small generation (The Pill, Roe v Wade). Lots of Gen X were childless too. I know I’m not inheriting a damn thing. I don’t have kids. So, my home is going to be sold by me to pay for my twilight years.
@MrsMassacre@JerrySalsita I worked in Glacier Park in the summers during college. I tried SO hard to find a job in MT to stay there. You are definitely my people.
Montana and Wyoming are sister states and you're not welcome in either one of them. Why? Because if you weren't raised here, you will never fit into our world. Here's the annual machine gun and cannon shoot. You're not ready for our culture.
@FilmNewsNos@frankiemuniz@kevinbacon@CodyLinley@realCaitWachs@HarryConnickJR@Dogskip Fun fact: that toilet is inside my in-laws house. The movie was filmed using their house. The poster with all of your signatures and paw print is on the wall in the sunroom. I ♥️ this movie. My MIL is so proud of her “My Dog Skip” historical marker sign outside.
How to navigate in the wild. How to escape. How to maim or kill an attacker. How to improvise. How to triage and treat wounds. How (and when) to stand my ground. To trust my gut instinct. Situational awareness. Self defense. Safety.
He was military. I am a small woman. He wanted me to have the grit to fight like hell to live if I ever found myself in a bad situation.
I thought I wrote this for a second. Dude, you have to press charges. That is the only way to resolve it. I have lived this more times than I can count. In my case, we are different genders, so that helped. Our first, last, and middle names are the same initials and are very similar in spelling and pronunciation. Lifetime of crap he has put me through.
Just when you think you’re addict Brother can’t stoop any lower, he steals your identity to avoid getting arrested during a traffic stop. Now Im having to file police reports, so I don’t get arrested. Would you press charges?
@TaraBull Precious little. I had a C3-T1 fusion with five laminectomies the last week of January 2020. Total misery. Shaved head, halo, and 27 staples from base of skull to middle shoulders. I got SO lucky. Out of the hospital to recover at home when the world shut down.
Ask the girl! Scars are proof that you have really lived. I have a lot of gnarly scars. My head has been shaved twice for major surgery. I am a woman and that is tough on my self confidence. I learned to hold my head up and soldier on. Confidence (even if you’re faking it) is magnetic. So… ask the girl!
I’ve been dealing with skin cancer, off and on, since coming home from Iraq in 2010. Not the fairly safe kind, but the metastasizing kind. I go tomorrow morning to have 2 more lumps removed. I don’t talk about it much, because people have it way worse than I do. I am truly blessed. I’m not in fear for my life, because I’ve been good at staying on top of it, but it has been a thorn in my side for 16 years. I shouldn’t let it, but it completely destroys my self confidence. In public, I think it’s all people can see when they look at me. Especially since I’ve sobered up, I want to start actually living my life again, instead of just surviving it. There’s even a girl I want to ask out. I always pray that the next time is the last time I have to see the dermatologist. It may seem trivial to you, but it’s a big deal to me. So, again, I pray that tomorrow is the last time.
I am not Ivy League educated. Just a State School educated engineer with almost three decades of experience. I. Am. Tired. Corporate rat race crap has destroyed my soul. I would love to “teach” real world engineering. No traditional schools though. I hate bureaucracy as much as corporate BS.
You know what I really want to do in life, but am unsure of? I would love to pull up my roots and go move to the midwest somewhere and teach or offer a school to train the next generation of scientists and engineers. I have to use my ivy league credentials somewhere and why not find that one kid who really wants it and teach them how to get there. With enough good people in the workforce I can drive out the idiot bosses who don't deserve their titles and I am truly worried about the direction of education where students cannot read or write or do even basic math. You won't have decent engineers and scientists with young folks with no basic life skills.
On Monday, I will resign from my job as an IT executive.
I’ve led a large team for several years. Soon after arriving, I realized the role was not what I expected and the environment was unhealthy.
Instead of leaving, I chose to view the situation as a challenge.
Over time, I shifted from trying to improve the situation to focusing on supporting my employees as best I could, often at my own expense.
Last week, however, I found myself unable to protect them any longer.
That moment came when I had to lay off an employee and friend of 25 years, with no involvement in the decision. I lost any sense of purpose.
So on Monday, I will walk in and resign.
I expect that over the next several months, many more will follow, though I realize the company may not care unless it impacts the bottom line.
But my wife and family, my purpose, will care.
I had a similar neighbor, only they were peeping in my window, taking pictures, and trying to kill my dogs. The police told me to get a cheap spiral bound notebook and journal everything. Date, time, people, events, weather, you name it. Immediately after the incident. I had five before we moved. Made reporting easier. Also made it easy to deny their false claims. And cameras help too.
filed a police report against my insane neighbor for creeping around my backyard this morning. i deeply resent that she is turning me into this kind of person, but it feels like i really need to establish a formal record of her behavior.
