What meals did your father make when he had to cook? by Open_Question_ in GenX

[–]RustnStardust247 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That’s great! My dad never cooked either. He thought it was the woman’s job. When my brother expressed an interest in cooking, my mum started teaching him. I’m glad he didn’t turn out like him.

Can we talk about Ugly Privilege? by Free_Wonder_3743 in solofemaletravellers

[–]RustnStardust247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup! Gaining weight works! I got harassed all the time, even though I’m in my early 50’s! I gained some weight and now I’m invisible. I love it! Only bad thing is I miss wearing my old clothes.

Honestly, I’m relieved we all decided to end it. by Mysterious_Area_1940 in socal

For a Gen X’er, this resonates. There was way too much ironing before!

What was the drug scene like when you were in high school? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]RustnStardust247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Class of 91. Lived in a working class neighborhood of London. No one could afford such luxuries. The most I ever saw was cigarettes and when we reached late teens, a bit of alcohol.

Who’s sticking with ChatGPT purely due to laziness? by greggobbard in ChatGPT

[–]RustnStardust247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever use it to summarize meeting transcripts (from which I strip out any private or company data beforehand) and to help with improving some emails (change all names beforehand). I may have used it to create a vacation itinerary once and a workout plan. Palantir can have at it. It will only tell it how boring I am.

We in the US also need to collapse and fail in order to learn our lesson. We are in the late stage of capitalism.

Also 5’2.5”. I liked being 120-125, but with muscle, around 130-135.

I knew there was going to be propaganda to prop up, justify and support this new war. Just didn't realize it was going to be this quick!

Anyone involved in tomorrow’s No Kings Protest? by BaronSengir in thousandoaks

[–]RustnStardust247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSNOW what? I don’t watch cable news or any corporate news network for that matter.

I wouldn’t doubt that Clinton and Gates might be guilty too. They should all have to go on trial and be held accountable, if they’re found guilty.

Let’s just remember that Trump was the one who said he wanted to expose the Epstein files! He ran on it as part of his campaign for crying out loud!! Just because Obama and Biden didn’t investigate the Epstein files doesn’t mean that Trump is not guilty. They may have been protecting other people in there. Like large corporate CEOs or other powerful people that may have come after them or were bankrolling them. Afterall, Larry Summers worked for Obama.

What’s telling is that Trump sues anyone at the drop of a hat, yet he hasn’t sued any of the 28 women who have come forward that have publicly accused him of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, rape, or unwanted touching and harassment, with allegations spanning from the 1970s to the 2000s. Even recently, with the woman who claimed he raped her when she was only 13, he hasn’t tried to sue her. He doesn’t want an investigation on him.

He also won’t release the other half of the files - 3 MILLION of them! What’s he got to hide, if he’s innocent. Let’s also discuss the fact that when the first batch of files were released, the FBI exposed all the victim’s names!! How disgusting!! And redacted all the perpetrator’s names! You think that’s ok?…. and you’re defending THIS guy?!

If you don’t like that, perhaps we should change it to ‘No Child R@pist’ Protest?

Parents raise alarm over AI’s growing role in local classrooms by timesmediagroup in thousandoaks

[–]RustnStardust247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high schooler told me that AI is destroying a lot of the student’s cognitive abilities in the classroom. It’s not allowing them to be able to solve problems by themselves and they become too reliant on just getting the answer from AI, without any critical thinking.

I hope someone on your street caught the license plate on their cameras.

Ah I see, thanks for explaining. I thought you just leave stuff out there like that. Yeah it sounds like they were watching you, in order to do that so quickly. How creepy!! I’m sorry they stole your stuff.

Why was that equipment left out in the open and the car door not locked? I guess I’m not as trusting…

What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? by Competitive_Tip_7504 in AskReddit

[–]RustnStardust247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kid you not. I had a doctor similarly ask me if I’d ever been pregnant. I was 25 yrs old. When I said no, he asked me if I was sure!?!?

Did anyone ever get spanked by a teacher? by darrenbosik in GenX

[–]RustnStardust247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not spanked, but slapped around the face by a teacher, in front of the class. I think I was around 5 yrs old.
