Re: Gen Z and food. 1.) Stop calling everybody old enough to grow facial hair a Boomer. It is making you confused. 2.) Actual Boomers are in their 70's and 80's, and did not grow up eating fast food every day. 3.) Gen X grew up when peak T.V. dinner was replaced by the invention of the Dollar Menu, and while we did eat tons of fast food by the time we got to the work force, most of us saw the Arby's Five for Five as some sort of miracle, and never forgot about ramen and hot dogs. The Dollar Menu was killed by covid and minimum wage, and it does suck. You do have it worse than Gen X did living in the 1$ McDouble era. Nevertheless, the solutions proposed by Actual Boomers are the valid solutions to your situation.

@owenjonesjourno Your reasoning is utterly deformed. Just like your heart.

If trans women use men’s toilets, they will be subjected to humiliation, abuse and violence. Anyone with any sense knows this. Which is why in practice trans women will not use men’s toilets, and will just increasingly be driven out of society.

@owenjonesjourno And what about these biological men entering women’s spaces? Why do women have to be subject to humiliation, abuse, and violence? Why do women have to affirm someone else’s fantasy life at the risk of their own safety and well-being?

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

In a way, learning to become a caregiver to a person who has lost his memory is learning to become a caregiver to our culture.

@raven_brah Fast food was a rare treat for our family. Because we had it only occasionally, it was special not “a normal, everyday expense” as you claim. It’s not about income but values. We ate meals at home around the supper table.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@justhere4fun87 @brianmcdowell22 @BenSatterthwai2 @EastonMooreIV @NolteNC It is important to be wise and conscientious with our resources. It would be better put money in a jar than spend it on DoorDash. An investment account would be even better. Good habits with money, like exercise, reap rewards over a lifetime.

@brianmcdowell22 @BenSatterthwai2 @EastonMooreIV @NolteNC No sir you are. If you truly think simply "cutting out coffee" will allow someone to own a home you're very out of touch. The median home price is 400k & only getting worse. You can save all you want doesn't matter if you don't make enough to cover the monthly mortgage.

Spent three decades working out of the house. Ate breakfast at home. Made coffee at work. Brown bagged lunch everyday. If there was no fridge at work, used a cooler. We ate out twice a month on payday. Our favorite Mexican place. $25 max. We still do this, 23 years later. Same place. Now it’s $35. Wife did the same and we paid off our 30 year mortgage in seven years. We haven’t had a mortgage since 2003.

My first home was a gut job way below the median... Make coffee at home. Brown bag lunch. Kill your DoorDash app. Put the money in an investment account and watch it grow. You'll also be healthier. Do this for yourself: Add up what you spend monthly eating out, DoorDashing, Starbucks, and the like... Then find a calculator online that figures out interest. Do the math over five years if you invested that money at a modest 6 percent.

Anyone who tells you a child needs to be in a classroom to be "socialized" has never watched a homeschooled twelve-year-old hold a real conversation with adults of every age.

It's day 5, and I when I awoke, men were still not women. I'm beginning to think that no judge, no lawyer, no surgeon, no psychiatrist, no magician can turn a man into a woman. Absolutely no one, including the Federal Court of Australia, has this ability. 🤷‍♀️

@CTVNews Women you stupid people. Women.

1 in 5 pregnant people in Ontario not screened properly for syphilis, new study says ctvnews.ca/health/article…

@Cernovich I pack my husband’s lunch every morning. I’m glad to. It’s simple to do, keeps costs down, and keeps his meals healthy. He eats well. We are not without means or common sense. We steward our resources rather than waste them. And yes, we’re boomers (though just barely).

Boomers and Gen X packed lunches. Not sure why this stuff enrages zoomers. Boomers lived frugally. Going out to lunch was a big deal. Most didn't have long lunch breaks, especially blue collar. You didn't DoorDash, dinners were made at home. I don't even DoorDash in 2026.

They are selling them for rape. Rape. Rape. Say it with me: Rape. These tiny little girls are going to be raped every day for the rest of their lives. Do not try and sugar coat it with that “marriage/domestic servitude” bullshit. If the old, crusty, disgusting Neanderthals they were being sold to just wanted someone to wash their windows or mow their lawns, they could sell their boys too. But they can’t sell the boys because the old, crusty, disgusting Neanderthals don’t want to rape the boys. And they wouldn’t sell the boys anyway because they see them as actual human beings, where the girls are just another form of livestock to be bought and sold as needed. There is nothing complex about this. It’s Afghan men doing what Afghan men have done (and fought for the “right” to do!!) since they crawled out of the caves they originated from.

@SarahTheHaider If the choice is indeed binary, choose starvation. Never, ever sell your child. Cultural practice?! Evil.

@actingliketommy @JoelWBerry I think you need help. Your life is not meaningful but it could be. Right now it’s built on hate. That’s not a good path to be on. Consider other options.

@JoelWBerry i think we'll wait until you maga motherfuckers throw us in concentration camps before we start eating like we're in one. you fucking ghoul.

A little-known hack: 2 slices of Aldi wheat bread: $0.17 3 oz of Aldi deli turkey: $0.86 1 slices Aldi cheddar: $0.15 1 condiment of your choice: $0.02 1 apple: $0.53 1 hard boiled egg: $0.14 5 carrot sticks: $0.17 Cold water from the tap: $0.01 Total: $2.05 You can do this.

@Architectolder No. It looks dated and depressing.

What do you think about this kitchen. Departing from my regular white cabinets.

@Space_Guy_e7g @rickygervais That’s why he’s funny. Life is annoying.

Genuinely how do people find Ricky Gervais funny he's so annoying

It is the day after #GigglevTickle and I haven’t woken up believing that men can be women. You can try & punish me for not believing it, but you can never make me believe it. Men cannot be women.

@georgejohnson @elonmusk @wholemars @FT @X @DOGE @grok Your ad hominem attacks debase you, not the one whom you are attacking.

@elonmusk @wholemars @FT Elon you will never go to Mars. @elonmusk You’re just like Trump. Another bullshit artist. It’s all one big performative grift just like @X is and @DOGE and all the things you failed at. @grok still thinks I’m black and can’t even make a simple graph. You’re worthless.

SpaceX is intending to guarantee Elon Musk cannot be fired and offering a trillion-dollar pay deal linked to building a colony on Mars. ft.trib.al/byv6y9T
