That's what Gen-X said.

And the Boomers and Silent Gen faggots froze us out of politics to the point where we still aren't in power in most places and levels of government.

I wish you better luck than we had.

GenX is politically unviable because we consider every group larger than 3 people to be a cult.

We can help in other ways.

Idk, about that dude, but from first hand experience screening and interviewing candidates, the group that much under ~33 right now legit think typing with their thumbs and doing everything through an app, "in the cloud" on someone else's computer constitutes technological literacy.

What's a directory structure? SQL query? Zip a file? Text formatting? Oh! I have a web app I can upload the proprietary, federally regulated information to in order to format the text!

iTunes, Netflix, Steam sales and smartphones fuckin' murdered computer literacy.

100%. I’m still an idiot and barely know anything, but I read a book recently on how you get from logic gates to modern pcs and I felt like my third eye was opened. The computer may be the single most useful and powerful thing ever invented and every retard-friendly feature you accept gives that power away. Every ad you sit through instead of blocking it, every video you want to keep that the site tries to prevent you from downloading, every bit of privacy you give away without a vpn, every file you store on someone else’s server—often paying for the privilege. Just learn a single command line program instead of relying on whatever shitty tool you can dig up on the App Store and you will see what you are missing. Every user-friendly feature is there to make you forget you own a very powerful machine and you don’t have to cede that control to anyone else.

Sorry for sperging but I’ve become really passionate about it. Computers are awesome.

As a lesbian, I never really understood why Civil Unions specifically had to be changed to "Marriage". To me, marriage seems more like a religious concept, and a civil union (with all the legal benefits of a marriage) is no different. Forcing the state to define "Gay Marriage" as a thing, feels like the state interfering with religion, if that makes any sense?

CS Lewis made this point in the 50s, that what the world was calling "marriage" was becoming so different from marriage in the traditional religious sense that a making a clear distinction would be better for everybody.

however, even aside from the very, very basic cultural infrastructure reasons our Western system doesn't want to create new categories of association it must respect, it's just a huge pain in the ass. it's bureacratically easier to pervert and destroy marriage, it means way less paperwork.

All I'm saying is the farms isn't something to be pushed around. Calm your tits. Someone gave me a stupid hypothetical. I gave them the logical conclusion. I hope it doesn't happen and I don't think it would.

While you all are faffing about with the threat of communist muslim sharia takeover in New York, Bannon and Gaetz called for regime change in Israel.

thumbnail your shit

regime change in israel is a joke. who are you going to replace bibi with? Lapid is a retard, Bennet is a bigger hawk than Bibi, Gallant is a hawk, Gantz can't even hold his own party together, Smotrich/Ben Gvir are extremist hawks

this is something that sounds radical and smart to people who don't know anything about Israel, Netanyahu is the most moderate and patient player in Israel which is why he endured people calling him a pussy for 13 years for not striking Iran only to hit iran at the exact right moment

I am calling it now, she will have a nigger moment so large she will be forced to resigned. Her frequent courtroom interruptions, her wild takes that go beyond the other shitlib justices, unprofessional legal writings, and the fact other judges are calling her out. She will chimp out before Trump's term is over.

So, I guess i'm going to be the one getting the negative reacts.

Uhh.. what happens to the gay couples then? isn't it proven that conversion therapy rarely, if ever, works? their still going to be gay.

Maybe they're not doing it right. I suspect transcranial magnetic stimulation could be an effective cure for homosexuality and transsexuality.

There is a sweet spot age range that falls between mid Gen-X to mid Millennial where most people retain both the skill to figure things out on their own while being technologically literate and current enough to apply it to today's systems.

Too early, and you're a fucking retard on blood thinners. Too late, and you're a retard on Adderal and HRT.

This is so fuckin' real. The group that is between ~36-53 right now is going to basically be able to write their own ticket for the next 15 or so years, provided that they individually aren't a total fuck up.

Justice Kagan in 2022
“It just can’t be right,” Justice Elena Kagan said in remarks in 2022 at Northwestern University’s law school, “that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years that it takes to go through the normal process.”

Justice Kagan today:
Kagan expressed concerns about the government’s ability to ignore lower court decisions. She questioned Solicitor General John Sauer about the implications of losing multiple lower court cases and the potential for widespread harm without universal injunctions.
