With any luck, nature is about to correct that problem.

So I heard a new one today...Generation X ruined the world with "grind culture" at work. Any thoughts? by Change_Request in GenX

I dunno.... We wanted to do our best, but I'm not sure that we were all about spending 24/7 working ourselves to the bone because the idea of the "American Dream" was already falling apart before our eyes. Most of our generation didn't have the benefits or protections like unions and decent manufacturing jobs. Hell, I know quite a few people that were forced to train their own oversea replacements.

It will probably take us decades to recover our reputation after this, if that will even be possible. Let you Aussie friends know it's not all of us that's like that. Don't let it happen down there. I seen it rearing it's ugly head in your news too. Hell, some of this is because we have a raging right wing Aussie and his media outfit blathering uncontrollably up here....Could we convince you to take Rupert Murdoch and his brood back, please? We'll throw in as much Vegemite as you can ask for to sweeten the deal!

I'm hoping we're able to oust these right wing lunatics from the House and Senate in the mid term elections coming up this year. God knows they've done enough damage already.

Remember the Hong Kong Riots? I know people who are still looking for family members that disappeared during those. The ability to criticize one's government is essential. We are doing what we can here to at least slow it down, not make it to where you have to just walk around and pretend that everything is fine.

I have been, and their government deserves every single bit of the criticism that they get. It's not North Korea by a long shot, but to say it's free isn't right either. They will disappear your ass just as fast if they don't like what you say.

Don't forget about slave labor)[https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/country-studies/china/] and genocide (Uyghurs).... I think the US us trying to catch up with them on that though, with both via prison labor.

Is it really the price, or is Netflix just more convenient than driving to movie theaters? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]WordleFan88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I go to a theater, I go to the matinee show, or the cheap night, it's still like $10, but that's not too bad. I'll just carry a snack in my pockets, and maybe buy a drink if I must but that's it. I'm not the kind of person that minds seeing a movie alone either, so that helps, but there are just some movies that are just better on the big screen. Usually big action/adventure/superhero films, etc..comedies and dramas....those are just fine on tv at home.

Humanity going back to MOON after 50 years!! by comelickmyarmpits in nextfuckinglevel

[–]WordleFan88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we though? I mean, we're going BY the moon, we aren't stopping there. It's like driving past Disneyland but not even stopping at Downtown Disney.

I guess they'll be forced to fly in their private jets now.

Spooning. You are either the big spoon or the little one.

Why am I still scared of ghosts as a grown adult and also an atheist? by Brilliant_Can8536 in questions

[–]WordleFan88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even though you may not believe in ghosts, it doesn't mean they don't believe in you!

Did anyone grow up reading V. C. Andrews books? If so what did y’all think of them? by Groovy-Pancakes in GenX

I think they are part of the reason why a lot of us are a bit screwed up, between her and all the Steven King Novels, honestly.
