I’m all for hating the boomers. If you want to blame the disappearance of American manufacturing and the weakening of organized labor on Boomers, I’m all for that. They availability of higher education for the masses to the point where a college degree became a barrier to entry is something that came about thanks to the prosperity boom after WWII. Remember yuppies? Those fuckers were boomers enjoying the advantages their parents and socialist reforms laid at their feet.

So no. Boomers didn’t make college a barrier to entry, but they did milk their good fortune and left very little for those that came after them.

I never said that boomers did not benefit from it, I said that they didn’t set it up that way. They benefited, exploited, abused, and left nothing for those to come after, but they didn’t set it up themselves.

I don’t think boomers set it up that way. I think boomers were the first to grow up into a world where a college degree was almost required to get ahead.

For sure, but when you are driving cross-country you sometimes do not have a choice because there is nowhere to stop.

I drive a BMW i4 and one of the reasons I prefer it is because it still uses a number of mechanical options like physical buttons and an actual door handle. I never trusted that flush handle from Tesla, even back when I liked Tesla.

I have a Sprinter van with lane assist for cross country travel. As obnoxious as it is 99% of the time, it has come in clutch a few times when I started to get drowsy and drifted off my lane.

A friend of mine met her now husband and father of her child on the free tier of Plenty Of Fish. That was a decade ago though. I’m not sure if the service has degraded since.

It helps if you bomb a target based on actual intelligence rather than vibes.

EDIT: Not gonna lie, as a guy a sports bra type top might be ideal for me. Thicker, snug and dry material that covers and warms my chest and back, while keeping my mid-section cool sounds perfect.

I believe Dragonflies can also do this.

Chronic depression since a traumatic event trigger in 1989 here. They can shove those chips up their own arse.
