No more useful than the paper covers for toilet seats.

Everyone does this. We just don’t agree on what “bullshit” means.

What we need is for people to specifically first recognize and then reject the polarizing bullshit spewing from the billionaire class.

She didn’t say “boomers”, fucking Fortune added that. And they reported this specifically to stir the bogus generational conflict.

AOC should not have mentioned generations at all, she’s supposed to be uniting us against the billionaire class, and here she is quoted in a billionaire rag about this. I hope she does better, and soon.

After reading so many of the comments:

My god, people! It’s the fucking billionaires, stupid!

AOC fucked up by mentioning a generational conflict. I thought she knew better. Bernie needs to take her back to school.

Everyone isn’t the problem, just the billionaires.

And, yet we’re all in the same shit. Stop pointing fingers at your class, and focus on the true enemy in our midst. Tear down the walls the billionaires have erected among us.

Fortunately, we’re not alone. We’re all in this together, it’s a class war. We need to stop framing it as a generational war, and build bridges between the generations not shore up the walls the billionaires have built.

In my experience, it’s a class war, not a generational war.

True to form, people still framing the class war as a generational war.

Entire generations are not in power, only a few corrupt examples of them. All we’ve done, all we’ve ever done, is vote for the “lesser of two evils”. That’s how we got here. We were all duped, and are still being duped, as the voting record will show.

As it’s a class war, we’re all on the same side, opposite the billionaires. We just need to recognize that simple fact.

So, she didn’t say “boomer”. But she did frame it as a generational issue.

It really has nothing to do with age. In fact that’s backwards. It’s about people who have been in power too long, and are coincidentally old. They aren’t corrupt because they’re old, they’re corrupt because they’re in power, and they’re old because they’ve been in power a long time. Too long. Bernie is rare because he’s avoided becoming corrupt, his age is coincidental.

We need term limits for Congress. That won’t stop the corruption but it will mitigate the damage they can do, and help prevent them from becoming entrenched and forming damaging long-term alliances with other corrupt politicians and billionaires.

You might say, “voting is the term limit”, but voters are notoriously terrible at spotting corruption, and of course, the politicians do everything they can to hide it.

I’m old and late to the neurodivergent thing. It’s been interesting and a little comforting to realize that I’m not as weird and alone as I once thought. I’ve struggled most of my life, not greatly, but still a struggle, to “fit in” with extroverts, because that’s all I’ve seen.Those who are more extrovert are loud and insistent and everywhere it seems, so it’s hard to see the rest of us, sometimes, in spite of apparently making up 30% or likely more of the population.

It would have been nice to come to this understanding when I was a teenager when I was really struggling, but that can’t be changed.

To the extroverts: you’re not superior, you’re just different, the same way introverts are not superior, or inferior, just different. I’d wager that the more introverted among us have made much of what we take for granted possible. We’re the scientists and engineers, and a bit ironically the ones who are more curious and thoughtful about the world.

introverts were struggling too I’m sure

Well, you’d be wrong about that.

You called it a “skill”, it’s not a skill.

Also, as so many people lie somewhere a long the spectrum, and most in the middle, introversion is clearly a useful " skill" as well, or it would have been selected out of the gene pool long, long ago.

So, what are you trying to say again?

Plenty of Nazi mods for Fallout 4.

Ugh, my now-ex-wife used to try to guess the plot. She’d watch intently, then blurt out “I know what’s going to happen!” Then, tell me. She was wrong more than she was right, but the times she got it right prompted her to keep doing it.

It’s not the reason she’s my ex-wife, but I don’t miss it.

My mom used to do this, it would infuriate my dad, but he’d say nothing.

I suspect you’re being purposely obtuse and ignoring the pose.

They fear ONLY for their personal well-being, they don’t even care about their own kids.

Slightly better than switching to paper straws is not buying from Amazon. I know it doesn’t make a real difference because they’ll never lose enough customers to notice, but at least YOU aren’t supporting them. Also, yes, I know that AWS is a bigger part of the business, and literally unavoidable on the internet. I did say “slightly”.
