What has this generation ruined?

Pmsl yes, spelled correctly!🤣
When I'm texting Brit mates I use "arse" and you can hear the pronunciation difference to "ass" when I say it, but posting here I chose the US spelling to reflect the bigger demographic audience!🤪👍

Why do you old bastards blame everything of the time on one generation? Damnit I listen to skynard

In just ~2 years they've made UFOs boring, myocarditis mild, sudden death a mystery, women obsolete, Nazis cool, pedos misunderstood, Hollywood entrainment cesspool, mockery of Education system turned Marxist, Gestapo censorship, your immune system a phone battery, your face an obscenity, and TRUST. They also turned human rights into extremism, locusts into a delicacy, and travel into bedlam. The accelerationists have taken over the asylum...and soon will be installing a new system of governance.

It's been written, winter is coming.



Maybe the best short answer to What is even going on? is The greatest transfer of wealth, health and power in history. When the ruling class reaps such an obscene windfall there's no excuse for even an idiot to think they stumbled into it by accident.

HUMOR!

Nothing is ever allowed to be funny any more. It all has to be straight up serious and you absolutely had to intend it the way they experienced it.

I watched Archie Bunker and laughed my butt off.
I watched White Chics and laughed my butt off.

Both of those would be totally NOT PC today.

We called them 'butt packs'. Don't recall seeing them after the early 1980s.



Cheers

Which generation? The one that has the most people running this country? The ones in control of the media? The CEOs?

They have ruined life, I once lived going to the newsagent and grabbing a magizine, i love classic cars, I really enjoyed buying a magazine now it’s all on line.

I buy an online subscription though it feels like I don’t own anything physically.

It’s crap, we’re being forced to subscribe to, movies, music, books etc.

These gen yers are part of the problems of today’s society, they are undermining the foundations of life, trying to control and decide what you can and can’t see.

Look at recent blogs about how internet search engines are only displaying the same repeated searches page after page.

Used to enjoy sitting for hours in European cafés with a great coffee and a copy of the International Herald Tribune.

Scanning the bilge passing for news on internet devices is nowhere the same experience.

Cheers

Ive heard some great music, film, and comedy specials the past few years. Especially comedy.

Sure, there's alot more junk than in the past. But its easy to put on your nostalgia blinders and forget the past had TONS of bad movies, music and comedy.

The search engine stuff can be infuriating. Especially trying to uncover past news articles on a popular subject.
Everyone and their fuking mom has to write some half-wit piece about some news so you're forced to search through endless articles.

It was nice to physically open stuff. I liked magazines. Articles online arent just the same.Im not going to spend an hour reading every tid bit of news stories if its online. I already spend enough time on electronic devices.

But.. On the positive side.. its better for the trees.

I have a black leather one in my camping gear. A week ago I was organizing that stuff and thought about using it when I'm fishing. So will I be cool now if I do?

If you got nothing but chaps on with it you'd be super cool, but only at specific parties.

Dudette, they went after It's Pat. They cannot handle giggling anymore, it'll break their brittle little Nintendo Generation twig bones.

Nah, they can have the moniker, we're still Console OG & PC Master Race.

If a disc was never desperately polished
to try to mitigate scratches, and cartridges were never blown out with lung power & beat on the table, it's like anything past Hellraiser 3 - a cute try at entertainment

At least there are still some people not wishing to be PC

For those not in the UK, Postman Pat was a kids animated show.
Those in the UK of a certain age should appreciate this .....

They couldn’t handle the Diceman then…could you imagine now?

I'd be the party dressed like that. Does orange protective chaps used when chainsawing count? Will a cowboy hat and boots help?
