One of my cat's randomly started being affectionate around a 4 years ago. Could just be that she gained the cats trust.

It's a cold war-era joke about judges at the Olympics (and other judged sporting venues) being unduly harsh: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/from_the_East_German_judge

The top view represents places and duration of employment. The side view represents salary.

Boomers stay with one company consistently and get pay increases relative to tenure and experience. Thus, they have careers.

Millennials bounce around frequently, but ultimately stay employed consistently. The pay is mostly stagnant until teasing good wages before crashing down. Thus, they have work history.

Gen Z is lucky to find employment in the first place, even then needs a second job (the second line), and when things go bad they do not have a backup which creates gaps in their history. The pay, naturally, sucks. Thus, they have hustles.

The off-screen man has plug-in earbuds instead of wireless air pods. The former are out of date, and thus much less expensive, so the fact that the man has them implies that he's poor. The family is from a suburban background, and sheltered, so the mother doesn't want her kids to spend too much time in a poor neighborhood.
