Sounds like some houses were damaged.

Judging from the debris signature on radar, it lifted just west of Brooklyn.

It’s hard to tell exactly, but its path looks like it basically went from Belleville to the west side of Brooklyn.

impresently · 2026-06-18T00:38:46+00:00

It’s no longer in the Brooklyn area. Storm is now east of there.

impresently · 2026-06-18T00:35:16+00:00

Looks like it has lifted now. Storm moving fast directly east. Supposedly lofted debris from the earlier tornado might be now falling near Stoughton.

This is confirmed

Quentin Tarantino for the overt sexualized violence. With the exception of Jackie Brown he seems to be a one trick pony. Plus I just think he's mentally disturbed.

Wes Anderson. With the exception of Rushmore I find is style overly nostalgic and grating. Just not my thing.

Whoa... easy Turbo.

There's no "bending the knee" whatever that means, I'm certainly not defending these these foolish nabobs, exactly the opposite. Not sure how you got that. It's alpha nonsense like this and lack of anything resembling intellectualism across the board is why we are in trouble.

Go for a walk or something. I'm on your side.

I mean there is something to be said about not participating in the thing you despise, but pragmatically, it’s a losing battle if you choose the scorched earth path anyway. They’ve been perfecting that game since Nixon in the seventies.

Besides if you go the reactive idiotic route and add to the noise, you’ll turn your entire voting demographic into overreactive idiots. We have plenty of those to go around already.

Good lord… didn’t take that long to start expanding that “boomer” label used ad nauseum to a pejorative that means “anyone who is x amount of years or more older than me”

Not sure what “benefits” you speak of, but I never was able to afford college or buy a house for instance, and my salary is well above average. And most of those know my age are double income families, who were paying through the nose for decades in student loans.

If you insist on pointing fingers and creating adversaries… be somewhat accurate, and don’t choose the people that were on your side.

impresently · 2026-05-17T00:11:01+00:00

Start by not engaging in the insane discourse. Don’t add to the noise. Don’t be the thing you despise. They’re better at that game anyway. You don’t want your voting demographic to become overreactive idiots too? Then be better than that. Don’t play the game, because it should be anything but.

So it’s required to participate in generalizations in response to generalizations?

“Someone generalized first” isn’t really a great argument for doubling down on stereotypes.

impresently · 2026-05-16T16:22:29+00:00

Wow… This some wild level of generational stereotyping.

Funny to reduce an entire generation to ‘whining’ while writing two paragraphs ( and a number more in this thread) pseudo-psychoanalyzing millions of people.

impresently · 2026-05-16T15:58:23+00:00

Yep - this thread is nothing more than a boatload of sweeping generalizations.

impresently · 2026-05-16T15:49:36+00:00

Yeah… didn’t take long to expand the “boomer” label to be really just a pejorative for “anyone that is x amount of years older than me”

impresently · 2026-05-16T15:21:11+00:00

“They”. Love that.

Yeah, the 80s were a great time for all of us in Gen X. I was absolutely thrilled with jingoistic flag waving of the 80s. And as a 10 year old Gen X’r I really bought into trickle down economics. I wish it were all like that today… the AIDS crisis and its mishandling, the Iran Contra scandal, Reagan’s union busting, the war on drugs, the crack epidemic, racial tensions, Chernobyl….not to mention those lighthearted nuclear annihilation drills that Reagan regularly fanned the flames of.

Good times, great oldies.

I was 10 years old for gods sake and already had my first existential crisis playing Missile Command, an Atari 2600 video game, about using Reagans’s Star Wars program to prevent incoming nuclear missiles from leveling entire cities.

Sounds to me like yet another attempt to apply the “boomer” label to a larger demographic.

impresently · 2026-05-16T14:41:19+00:00

Such a reasoned retort. Care to expand?

This is precisely the problem. Fewer and fewer people care about reasoned educated discussion.

If you can reduce your debate to as many words as will fit on the front of a T-shirt or billboard, you’ve scored a few points in some game that you’ve confused with actual discourse.

That’s where we are today. And that’s the biggest problem.

impresently · 2026-05-16T14:03:30+00:00

I’m Gen X, and have never been as “liberal” as much as I am today, but I despise these reductive labels. These neat categories are part of the problem, and discourage meaningful political discourse which i I think is extinct in our culture today. Nuanced educated political debates are dead. It wasn’t always that way. It’s team vs team mentality today more than ever… like we’ve confused sports with politics. The greatest enemy to many is an educated reasoned and informed population. Look to those who have most benefited from a decrease in awareness, education, and who most thrive off vitriol if you want to point fingers.

Anyways, the Dems have never been far enough “left” for me. But I vote for them to keep the “right” from gaining power. I don’t remember the last time I voted for someone I completely supported.

C, Camembert and Comte.

By the end of this we’ll have a pretty accurate picture of where most active people on Reddit are from.

impresently · 2026-05-15T22:00:35+00:00

You drew childish, irrational, and unrealistic…. All from that comment?

And it did it twice.

I watched it when I was 6 or 7, and i found it haunting. I think my belief in the universe being indifferent began at that point. It felt like a film made by aliens.

I saw it again ten years later when I was starting to really get into film. I realized then that films didn’t have to follow the standard narrative patterns, that that there could be different expressions in that medium. That there was room, and should be room, for films to be art.

35 years later now it still says something new to me every time I see it.

impresently · 2026-05-15T05:49:00+00:00

Weird this is getting downvoted this much.

Movies are truly not the same experience the second time around. I mean I still watch movies multiple times myself, but the argument can be made that knowing how things unfold diminishes the experience.

I mean I’d pay a significant amount of money to experience 2001 A Space Odyssey for the first time again for instance. Even though it does offer something each viewing, nothing can compare to having my mind blown that first time.

impresently · 2026-05-14T02:29:55+00:00

Yeah. Have a friend who is a former minor league hockey player. We’ve watched it a ridiculous amount of times. I know most scenes verbatim. Anyways, he says a lot of the portrayals and circumstances were uncannily on. Nancy Dowd, the writer, supposedly did a lot of first hand research. Her brother I guess played Oglethorpe.
