  1. Got as far as "Batavia woman" Nope.
  2. Your generation was/is a plague on America. To argue otherwise belies a complete lack of self-awareness that (guess who) only a boomer could possibly show. Ridiculous national debt? Check. Completely pillaged the best economy America's ever seen? Check. Mortgaged the future so they could live in excess in the present? Check. Don't even get me started on Obamacare, a program that your generation overwhelmingly supports because, surprise surprise, you don't have to pay for it. The cost of the ACA rests squarely on the shoulders of my generation because your generation drank and smoked and screwed and ate their way into massively expensive health problems in their 60's and 70's. Your generation has this ridiculous perception of gratitude. When they were handed the reins, they were the reins to the unparalleled, unquestionable world economic superpower. Now they're handing it off to us, acting like it's the same damn thing. In reality, it's a crumbling has-been. Everyone in the world sees that but them. And they all act like they taught the damn world to sing and we should be grateful for the house with peeled paint and four mortgages they're handing us. Most of the Boomers I know don't fit the stereotypes I tend to toss around about them, but it's really hard not to look at the size of voting blocs by age and the political changes that came and went over the last 40 years or so. Those changes have pretty clear impacts that obviously benefit those of certain ages when those changes occurred, and don't benefit other groups the same way. The mentality was all about "me me me right now" which is the epitome of spoiled.
  3. Hey, I do my job, and I do it well. And I do what my boss says to do. Spent a summer shoveling rocks a few years ago. Least fun job I had but got a great reference from my supervisor
  4. Love it when a boomer tries to tell me that I'm spoiled
  5. I got the flu shot back in October because it was free for me. And I've spent most of this week in bed with the flu. !@#$in' typical.
  6. I don't tip baristas/counter girls/etc. unless they've gone out of their way for me somehow.
  7. The film adaptation is very good as well. Dubliners by James Joyce. It's a collection of short stories, much more readable than Ulysses. The Brothers Karamazov, the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, by Dostoyevsky. Invitation to a Beheading by Nabokov. Naive. Super by Erlend Loe. The Manual of Detection by Jedediah Berry.
  8. Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo
  9. Yeah, I get where you're coming from. But the idea is probably to help protect inmates against surprise buttsecks. Inmates who rape other inmates can't claim that it was consensual, then. That's my theory. Haven't done any looking into it at all.
  10. Inmates, like minors, are unable to consent to sex.
  11. Yeah, in Europe there are very specific limitations on free speech. Holocaust denial, anti-semitism, racism, etc. are banned in many countries.
  12. Huey Lewis in American Psycho Hey, Paul!
  13. Got another one. Lifetime bands. Like Rex's lapband. Stays in for life.
  14. Good luck pinning this one on the hoodie.
  15. Sede vacante, there is no Pope.
  16. Knee-jerk reactions the day of said hire, obviously. Haven't you been here before?
  17. Sweep his legs? I'm down for that.
  18. Is it weird that I kinda believe him?
  19. I'm willing a beer a few miles north to CP. Is it working? HFBD, Gug
  20. The Flying Chicken in Troy, NY has the best fried chicken and waffles. There's some real good eats on 4th Street in Troy if any of y'all are ever in the capital district.
  21. I've never found anything you've said or done insulting.
