because i was 18, a freshman in college, and just got dumped. i was all down about it and a friend offered me one and i thought, fuck it, why not.

then i bummed another a few days later and so on. bought my own pack within a week.

okay, but that made me laugh

sorry, but the notion that fear of men pushes them to be predators is absolute bullshit. that’s an argument that’s an insult to anyone who has been victimized by a man and an insult to men as well.

just because somebody typed this stuff and took a photo doesn’t mean that’s what they submitted.

i think there’s like a whole subculture around these shoes, no joke

edit - other people in thread explaining it better!

i remember the no smoking sign would go off, but i don’t remember people smoking on flights. but that might be because i had family members who were smokers and people still smoked in restaurants, so maybe i tuned it out.

nice to see another vxjunkie here

indeed, lots of people make poor decisions regardless of age. but statistically speaking, 24 year olds have resources (experience, development) which increase their capacity to make better decisions.

someone at 24 has several more years of experience in the adult world. someone at 24 has several more years of neurological development (which isn’t complete until around 25). in other words, at 24 someone has better context for decision-making and better decision-making ability than someone who is 18.

yeah, they really advanced environmentalism with this dumb shit. 🙄

or paint, that’s been a thing.

really pisses me off, environmentalists attacking art, of all things. random art didn’t cause environmental issues, and they’re undermining their own message with the sheer absurdity of it.

wow, that headline is a whole journey

is the insurance good enough to cover the cost of a knee and a hip for me? because that’s what i’m gonna need if they want me to take up running. at minimum.

this is not a bonus available to employees who can’t take up running, for whatever reason.

thank you for pointing it out, i had not noticed.

regardless, always good to consider how presentation influences our views.

supposedly. not at the local grocery chain, according to them. at the pharmacy chain i can get one, but my teens will only get them if they are covered by state health insurance, which they aren’t. my income from my new job stopped that instantly, but my coverage doesn’t start until november. they’re in limbo.

edit - so i’m just waiting. i guess i could get mine at least.

oh shit, this is me! i’m worried i’m about to tho, uninsured and can’t really fork over the money for a shot.

you might be overthinking it.

i’m late gen x (78), that’s more comfortable to me than being lumped with millennials. (the caveat being, i suppose, that we’re dissimilar in some respects from early gen x.)

internet was not widely available until about the time i started college, and gen x media defined popular culture at that time. i also relate to the notion of being the child of two working parents - the first generation of latchkey kids.

i tend to see millennials as people who were kids when i was in school - and they grew up with the internet.

i’m with you. late x’er here. my boomer parents’ promises never panned out, my retirement plan is work until i die or check out early if i can’t manage it.

getting lumped in with boomers when i have been served the same shit as the younger generations gets old, but the minds of people who never didn’t have internet is still a bit of a mystery to me.

funny how appropriate the x nomer and all it implies about our generation turned out to be.
