@gordanstark @DrunkRepub Um….World War II? You seem to have conveniently forgotten that.

@DrunkRepub The Great Depression was followed by rapid economic growth that fueled a baby boom and a spike in marriage. Gen Z doesn’t see that on their horizon and that has to be devastating. Why attack them over it?

Gen Z is always bitching about how they can’t afford anything and I get it. They kinda got screwed. But every generation has its own downsides. My grandparents grew up during the f***ing Great Depression! I’m a Gen X kid. My dad taught me how to ride a bike by holding the seat at the top of a hill with sticker bushes at the bottom and said “when you turn away before the sticker bush you’ll be riding your bike.” He’d let go and face first I’d go into the bushes. Took 6 or 7 tries before I dodged them. No helmet, no nothing. Just pain. And in college we didn’t have DoorDash; we had to put on clothes, walk out into the elements, and actually drive to Wendy’s. HUNGOVER! Point is I agree you guys got screwed, but feeling sorry for yourself won’t fix anything. Time to put on your big boy pants and roll with the punches. Yes life isn’t fair, but at least you aren’t storming the beaches of Normandy. I mean in real life, not on Call of Duty.

@JamieMetzl They aren't "almost rooting" they are simply "rooting".

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies. But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

@mrmikeMTL No. That is the parents' job.

Do u think children should be taught cooking as part of the school curriculum?

@antoniospiezia Montrealers love to complain about the city, but the quality of life in Montreal is incredibly good. Great for 20 somethings...family friendly...even in the dead of winter. There is a reason my kids came here for uni and then stayed.

The Montreal Renaissance is real. The Habs are ridiculously good. The Expos spark is back. The food scene is booming. The coffee culture is top tier. The bagels...never better. The tech ecosystem is bouncing back. The animation scene is back (just won an Oscar) The history, unmatched. Bullish on this city.🚧

@3xpops @CoachLisle Dad wants you to fulfill his broken childhood dreams.

@CoachLisle Nonsense. People should stop being soft. Dad knows what you can be.

Parents: The ONLY thing that you should say to your child after a game is... "I love watching you play". Let them do any other talking

@TLNewmanMTL La Lune has been talked about a lot since even before it opened because of the ownership - it has quite a pedigree. I've heard it is very good though I haven't been.

@JackChambersGB The odd part is there is little to no foot traffic on the streets of downtown San Antonio. So Riverwalk feels more like part of a Disney theme park than part of the downtown of a major US city.

I don't care what anybody says, whether it's overrated or cliche, the San Antonio Riverwalk is a masterstroke of genius.

@Ang_Xrp @krassenstein Fairmont

@krassenstein Make sure you have some Saint Viateur bagels 🥯 and poutine when you are here!!

We have left the United States for Montreal. No corruption here.

@gingerdadman1 If I ever asked my mom for a cereal, she would buy several boxes if they were on sale and then refuse to buy any other cereal until we finished what we had. I still shake uncontrollably when I see Rice Krispies. 😂

@miles_commodore So you want the schools to parent your children? At some point, parents need to once again parent.

Every public high school in America should be teaching how credit cards work, how to get a mortgage, and what mutual funds are and how they function. 16th century English literature is great, but how about equipping our children with what they need in the REAL world.

@Concern70732755 Always. Or a pregnant woman. Or someone with a physical disability. It’s what we do in polite society.

Societal values question ?

@TheJoeySwoll As a coach at our local high school used to say: "you can't fix stupid"

It’s insane how many people don’t understand gyms are NOT public. You can’t just film people.

@w0rdgenerator Chose to live where walking is part of your life rather than being tethered to a car and an HOA

How unemployed do you have to be to hit 20k steps a day

@CoachSwit The problem is the parents foisting their unfulfilled dreams onto their children.

When did youth baseball get so serious? Exit velo. Radar guns. Rankings. Travel teams at 8 years old. What happened to just playing because it’s the greatest game ever invented? Sometimes it feels like we all forget it’s still a kid’s game. ⚾️

@TS_Secrets Ours was more around "will we need a car" plus how long would the drive be. My limit was probably around 14 hours....sort of what I could do in a single day.

Serious question for families… How many hours do you drive before you just fly? We drove 16 hours yesterday and I’m absolutely exhausted. Halfway through I was thinking: “Why didn’t we just book the flights?” My rule has always been: If it’s under 8 hours we drive. If it’s over 8 hours we fly. But flights for a family aren’t cheap and the TSA Deal worried me, so sometimes the road trip wins. The math in my head usually looks like this: Drive: • Gas 4 times • Snacks • A hotel sometimes • 2 full days of travel Fly: • Expensive tickets • Airport chaos • Rental car But you arrive in a few hours instead of two days. Yesterday reminded me… 16 hours in a car with kids feels like 40. Curious where everyone draws the line. What’s your rule? How many hours before you stop driving and start flying?

@SteveWiesnerSMB One year ago in Montreal we had a coffee and conversation about our kids and their futures. Hard to believe how much has changed in just that single year.

Amazing how old flexes are dropping like flies. Top tier MBA. Who cares? Comp sci degree. Sorry. PE gig. No carry. 500 employees. Can do it with 20. Swanky office. 😂

@TheJoeySwoll I never saw that until Montreal. I know always thank the bus driver - simple acts of kindness are the glue that holds our society together.

No, our parents raised us better than that. 💯

@SahilBloom I flew a lot in my career. My rule was “as long as the parents are trying “ that’s all we can ask.

On a flight and there’s a kid who’s been screaming for the last 15 minutes. Lots of passengers making faces at the parents. Before you do that, just remember, the parents are having a 100x worse time than you are. Guaranteed. Put in some headphones and relax.

@allie__voss We always made our living room the “family room” - television and table for playing board games. The family room was redundant.

One thing we noticed while house hunting is how few of the new builds had dining rooms We definitely use ours at holidays and when hosting, but it does seem to be one of those things that's a waste of space day to day for most people
