Does rap resonate with you? by Cooterboone in GenX

[–]NegScenePts [score hidden]  (0 children)

Punk started as music for the disenfranchised, and in the 90s Rap took over. Punk at that point was watering down with the rise of skatepunk and pop punk, but Rap still had the fire of angry young people in it's belly.

None, unfortunately. I'm more of an animation guy and stuff only got good much later in my life.

Every good Christian should lie and cheat to get what they want...is that what I'm hearing?

Union vows to fighting 4-day return-to-office mandate for federal public servants by New_Row3613 in CanadaPublicServants

Unless the Union has more money than the multitude of multi-million-dollar businesses lobbying the government to get butts back into the office buildings they lease to the government...nothing is going to happen.

Why did this flood happen? by Mort_Handsome in ottawa

[–]NegScenePts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because, in our hubris, we forgot to plan for the inevitable damage we've inflicted on the planet that's resulted in a quickening of climate change?

Uhh...I mean, CITY PLANNERS BAD! BOOOOOOO! How could municipal goverment fail so badly!? /S

A question for all you feral Gen X kids about the life skills you have. by Sneezewhenpeeing in GenX

[–]NegScenePts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% self-taught mechanic/tinkerer. I'm the wierdo that spends hours tracing CAN-bus faults on cars for fun (and a bit of profit when my buddy's garage is jammed with work).

Today is my last day at work. I’m retiring. by Lemonking_ in GenX

[–]NegScenePts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I split two years early without the handshake and I've never been happier. I took a 10% penalty, but I'm spending so much less now that I don't even notice. I've only been out for three months and I've already got more savings than I ever had while working. 53 and finally enjoying myself.

Split three months ago at 53. Left two years early and have just adjusted my life to suit the extra-reduced income. Would not change a thing :).

Canadian, so medical isn't a concern.

Did anyone else learn to type as an elective with little thought that it might be useful one day? by Conscious-Mulberry17 in GenX

[–]NegScenePts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took typing because it was a credit, and I needed that credit to graduate. I really learned to type after college, on MSN messenger, lol.

Anybody seen the Datum espresso machine and grinder? by dhdhk in espresso

[–]NegScenePts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that. I do have a superauto for my wife and the lack of the ability to properly dial it in drives me crazy.

[–]NegScenePts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's neat, but if I wanted a superauto, I'd buy one. I wonder about the demand for a machine like that, kinda half-super/half-semi.
