Problem: people are starving. Response: not a bug, actually a feature.

I imagine the disputes would get heated.

This is what those 2A advocates are always on about, right?

My players spending 30 minutes deciding who is going to carry the loot or checking an door for traps. I deeply regret the time I put two traps on a chest and they only found the first one.

GenX has never had nor will it ever have significant political power. Outnumbered by older and younger generations. Also, I doubt we’re very unified in our political beliefs and asperations since we tend to be pretty independent and mostly want to avoid attracting too much attention.

Gambling and the NBA, name a more iconic duo.

Time to deploy bioweapons to take care of the problem.

I have a single child and I regret bringing him into this hell hole planet. I strongly believe that we are on the verge of ecological ruin. The oceans are overfished and becoming dangerously acidic. Drinkable water is being depleted. Soil nutrients are declining. Fascism is rising rapidly. We’re on the wrong side of the Hubbert curve, so everything is going to get progressively more expensive. Food production will drop as we lose the inputs for the Haber Bosch process. The decline will not be linear and some of the tipping points are already in our rear view mirror.

The cost of housing is just one of many reasons why people might not want children, although normalcy bias hides the truth from many.

My friend who works for the government is having to get food from food banks because of the shutdown.

Can he just die already? Sick of Moscow Mitch.

From the same party that wants to charge minority children as adults if they misbehave. Actual adults are just kids though.

Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Now I’m picturing a T-rex doing a Naruto run. I’m not sure I will ever be able to take T-rex seriously again.

Except that vaccines partially work because of herd immunity. My kid is and was vaccinated against whooping cough, but enough fucktards here in Texas refuse vaccines that it is spreading and he caught it despite being vaccinated. He was ultimately fine because he was 14 with a good immune system, but pertussis can be fatal for some patients, especially those too young to get vaccinated.

You don’t sound like your smart enough to understand this explanation, but at least I tried.

Just wait until they are Gen X age. Decades of this beating, still no real political power, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. I can’t wait to lose my job to an AI that can’t actually do what I do, so that I can starve to death like some pathetic Dostoevsky character.

8,000 species of termites survived the flood, implying that Noah had them on his wooden boat. Of course, Noah is an idiot.

ICE guarding polling places. Fascists: I voted in 2026, if you didn’t, that’s on you.

A friend of mine’s Trump loving but half Mexican uncle (U.S. citizen born and raised) spent six weeks in ICE detention before ICE figured out he was a citizen. Dumb shit still loves trump. Including this annecote just so people understand that citizenship is irrelevant to whether ICE will detain you without habeas corpus.

Look Mexican and try to vote? Detention for you. I imagine the racist young Republicans have plenty of employment opportunities with ICE. You know normal people aren’t applying.

The best part is that the number sent to your phone doesn’t match and neither advances past the verification.

So much for free speech.

Pretty rich coming from a convicted felon who did not serve any prison time.

My solution to politics: if 50,000 people vote that we should execute you, we execute you. Pretty soon there would be no politicians left.

It will be worse than the movies because they don’t portray how every mundane thing will somehow be worse. Tech support? Worse. Customer service? Worse. Education? Worse. Insurance? Worse. Software? Worse. Health care? Worse. Mental health? Worse. Misinformation? Pervasive. Gaslighting? Pervasive.
