I hate to say it, Sigs, because I know it's a real sensitive issue to you. And I don't mean you personally because you and your husband both did what was expected of you and from what I know of you, you did it well enough to exceed most in your generation. And I know you have DD to worry about with all that work you're always doing tending to the house. So this isn't an attack on YOU, okay?
I think a real big part of the current seismic shift we're going through is because the oldest of the Boomer generation is starting to die off and/or go senile, and now it's Gen X rather unwillingly and/or uncaringly becoming the senior generation.
I think we're all just kind of sitting here like "oh... for fuck's sake. What are we going to do now? Our grandparents all died and things got way worse because our parents all kind of sucked and were huge disappointments. And now our parents are all dying off too... and we just sat back and let these dipshit Millennials get in line to take it all over 2 decades ago... And then we watched them speedrun everything from comics and movies to the economy and society in general into the fucking ground while the Boomer Politicians and Senior Management were too busy to babysit them, what with having their schedules full of stacking that cash with all that insider trading, selling the rest of us out and drooling on themselves.
And the Millennials weren't even our fucking kids man... They're our step/half brothers and sisters from our Boomer parents' second failed marriages.
It's like they raised two pretty awful generations of kids overall, but the 2nd experiment was just WAY worse than the first one was...
I would venture a guess that the Baby Boomer Generation in America held more power for longer than any other in the country ever has before them. That's one-third because of how fucking greedy and full of ambition Baby Boomers are, As A Group. It's one-third how self-centered and full of ambition Millennials are, as a group. And it's one-third because of how fucking lazy and/or disaffected and/or uninterested Generation X is in politics or saving the world, as a group. Nihilism was kind of our thing. I have half of a decent friend roster who never made it out of their 20's to back that up. I'd blame TV for it, but that would make me sound like a fucking Boomer.
I think Gen X is like "Fuck This". I was fine with not having to take any responsibility as long as the people who really wanted it were more or less doing right by us, even if they were fucking us over. Boomers fucked everybody, but they just had a gentler touch, and only pushed that envelope a little bit at a time, so subtle that most people didn't even really notice the glacial shift until it was way too late.
The Millennials got in there and said "LET'S BURN THIS MOTHERFUCKER DOWN AND REBUILD IT THE WAY WE WANT IT!"
But their only two problems were that none of them were in agreement about what the way they wanted it would look like, and even if they were, not a single one of them ever built anything beyond LEGO sets and haven't held a fucking hammer in their hands since their Boomer parents gave their Builder Bob plastic tool belt to Goodwill.
To this day, nobody ever talks about Gen X.
I've only rarely even heard murmurings from only a handful of sources even mentioning Gen X, and that didn't start until right after the election results were finally in.
Yanno... They raised us to not really bother going for a degree unless we were top of the class and gung-ho for going there. But they didn't bother teaching us any skills either. We weNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

Trump has repeatedly incited mob violence since his first campaign.
The Kirk killing is an excuse for more violence and intimidation. “We have radical left lunatics out there,” declared Trump, “and we just have to beat the hell out of them.” An utterly malign appeal to mob violence from a sitting president.

Why do you keep reposting this as if I should feel shame for it.
I stand by it 100%.
And GenX's awakening is one of the reasons that you and your party are so thoroughly fucked right now.
You've reposted it at least twice now. Might I suggest you try actually reading it now.

I don't believe that was the message. It's really just a valid explanation for why most people in my generation didn't get into politics, and didn't even really vote up until last November. I've obviously been an exception to that rule up until recently, but you've fucked up by making the rest of 'em finally care.
Read it again, dummy.
And think about it.... How many GenXers got into politics? Can you even name any without Googling it?
Ron Desantis is a Millennial.
GenX is taking over as the senior generation on the planet very soon, and we largely stayed out of politics up until now.
But you done fucked up and put them out for too long. Now we're coming for you.

Tariff-fueled price hikes have arrived — and hitting these items first
September 12, 2025 / 12:01 PM EDT

ion-coffee-autos-apparel-cpi/
Products from Brazil that are shipped to the U.S. now face a 50% tariff, according to the White House. Once those import taxes kicked in, U.S. consumers in August shelled out 21% more for beans than a year earlier, according to CPI data.
Clara Moore, 44, told CBS MoneyWatch she is seeing prices "rising all over the place." Her grocery bill has risen to about $250 per haul, from roughly $175 one year ago, she said.

You've said as much no less than 20 times now regarding this post today, all across the RWED.
But you've yet to prove that is what I was doing.
I was quite hard on and fair with Generation X in that post as well as the Boomers and Millenials.
There's a reason why we were the forgotten generation. A lot of that IS the Boomer's fault, but everyone has their own agency. We largely chose to stay out of all of it.
You pulled us right into it though.
And look around you now.
Can you say you're happy with the results so far?
SPOILER ALERT: It only gets worse for you from here on out. It will never get better for you. The world you thought you were living in died 8 months ago and will never return.

None of the obvious lessons of Star Trek were learned by Trumptards: failure will cause your death; fear must be overcome or else you die; a half-ass understanding of a problem will mean you die. In other words, it you fail the challenge, you die. America is not as unforgiving as outer space. When you fail in America, you don't immediately die like in outer space. Instead, you Trumptards can bitch that life is too hard for you and the safety net isn't soft enough and doesn't provide all your needs, but Trump will provide. He promised in exchange for your votes.

You've been saying that for years now and it's not even true. And you know it's not even true.
I've made plenty of mistakes for sure. More than my share of them, for sure. I have a very, very long post history here which (unlike you) I have never once gone back and deleted. Years of those posts were me hitting rock bottom with my drinking. And now I have health issues which although very likely have a hereditary element to them, could most likely have been easily avoided had I not become an alcoholic.
But I'm still in great shape for my age, especially when compared to most of my peers. I know how to do almost anything when it comes to fixing houses and repairing cars, and I learned most of that out of necessity. There is practically nothing I can't learn how to do outside of curing my diabetes just by watching YouTube videos.
I bought a house with cash at 32 years old for only $67,000. The previous owners had paid $160k for the house. Today, before I fought the property taxes, they were saying that my house is now valued at over $300k.
I have no debt. I have not held any debt since August of 2005. I haven't had a car note since July of 2001. I've gone 5 years without working a job because I don't need to.
I do what I want to, when I want to. Even if that's nothing.
You're just a little drone. An ant marching like all of the rest of them.
It is I who pity you.

'I don't want to talk about it': Trump warns US to pay trillions if he doesn't get his way
By Alexander Willis | September 12, 2025 9:39AM ET
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2673988949/
“Well, I don't want to talk about it,” Trump told Fox and Friends host Lawrence Jones, when asked what his administration would do if the Supreme Court ultimately upholds a lower court’s ruling that the tariffs are illegal. “I guess we'll find something, but it would be a very tough thing to lose that case.”
“That Supreme Court case is so important,” Trump said. “We should [win the tariff case] on the legal merits – [if we don’t], we would have to give back trillions of dollars! That case is one of the most important cases in the history of our country.”
