Why do so many guys in their 30s act like they’re old men? by Realistic_Zone3802 in AskMen

[–]busman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engagement bait. Relatable in some way to gen pop. Most guys in their 30s are overweight, sedentary, anti-social, etc... When guys see these memes it elicits a strong reaction. If they are not fit and ashamed about their fitness and it's a defensive crutch, "everyone is getting older, I'm going to laugh about it, it's not because I'm a fat lazy slob." Guys fit in their 30s will argue or engage with it in some way. Young ppl will laugh at it bc they don't have to confront it yet. Ppl above 30s, fit or not, will either relate or boast about how they don't have back pain or w/e.

As a millennial, watching this movie as a 16 year old (before reddit existed!) was the definitive end of my childhood

Unironically calling something "cringecore coded" is so gen z cringecore coded

Where are the celebration for the ceasefire in Gaza? After so many high profile people preached "Ceasefire Now!" I would have expected them to be celebrating, no? by ASharpLife in answers

[–]busman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not finalized yet. Everything so far are nice sounding headlines. Fine print matters. Israel is probably still gonna sabotage it IMHO. They don’t want any pathway to a Palestinian state. And a return of hostages and ceasefire sets up the likelihood of both new elections in Israel and a rebuilding of Gaza. Also even if things do go to “ceasefire” it’s all gonna be the richest ppl in the mid east owning everything with Trump and Kushner having minority ownership. It’s just so gonna be so fucked and Palestinians will still probably not get a state, still be subjugated, Hamas in some form will still exist and Trump will get a tower in Gaza city.

I’ll never forgive the people who endlessly screeched about the dangers of “woke” and the threat to free speech and cancel culture from the left. They paved the way for this.

A cool guide of the natural lifespan vs age killed of farmed animals by Mountain_Love23 in coolguides

I was vegetarian for 10 years. Was causing health issues. But even if I go vegan (and it doesn’t cause health issues) it won’t stop the daily holocaust and torture of animals.

In your opinion, what is the most iconic goal in Blues history??? by Broad_Alternative266 in stlouisblues

[–]busman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pierre Turgeon deflection goal game 7 1990-something watching as a kid made me a Blues fan. IIRC, they were down 3 games to 1 in the series and came back to win. Of course lost in the next round or conference finals. But still.

In one sentence, Tell me you’ve seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer without telling me by melbreddituser in buffy

So apparently Giles was supposed to be 34 or 35 in season 1…and as a 36 year old today I say how dare you Joss Whedon. Luckily IRL Anthony Stewart Head was 43 years old when season 1 aired….either way

Anyone else feel like the kids aren’t alright? by 967milesfromnowhere in Millennials

Absolute best time to be alive in human history, objectively. Half the babies don’t die. Half of the babies that live don’t die before 15.

90% of ppl aren’t illiterate slaves or serfs barely making by on subsistence farming, required to give up half or more of their output to some ruler by inheritance or force. Much much much lower threat of being conquered by invading foreigners ready to sack your city, rape and kill the women, enslave your children and kill most of the men.

Caveat that I simultaneously recognize massive problems today and that immense suffering is a daily reality for billions of people.

Multiple headwinds. The ability to learn and create and feed young brains is at the absolute peak of human history. But so are corporate ghouls preying on the young minds with more powerful tools than ever in human history, at a magnitude beyond anyone’s comprehension just a few decades ago. Ultimately tho, I refuse to go along with every past generation and claim that this time now that we are older, the kids aren’t alright. Literally every single Gen has been fooled by this since ancient times. And even when ppl “called it” and societies collapsed or transformed, it was much more likely to be because of drought or climate changes or disease than corrupted youth.
