I'd argue about the waste of oxygen thing, but my gen x coworker says she mostly identifies with boomers.

I don't think they are afraid of losing anything specific. It's ingrained at this point.

"If you made straight A's and someone else made straight F's, how would you feel if you both ended up with C's? That's fair right? No? Welcome to the Republican Party. Isn't everyone who doesn't agree with this an idiot? I'm glad we aren't idiots."

I grew up homeschooled and the Christian curriculum my parents used had similar feeling brainwashing tactics. "Scientists searched their whole lives to disprove the Bible, then ended up Christians instead!" Making you feel smart for not wasting your life like the other guy, you are already in the "good" group.

You're good on the age. Everyone is different. My wife was more mature than me at that age and was also around six years younger than me. Best decision ever for me to ask her out and eventually marry her. Been together 15 years now and just had our first child and couldn't be happier.

Which is awesome 😎.

Ceo sucks but he bought a business that makes great cars (once you make sure yours doesn't have the notorious panel gaps).

American History Tellers. I haven't listened to many other podcasts so I can't compare, but it feels like well researched and well told history. I feel like it is filling in the gaps of what was once my least favorite subject.

Probably should learn more world history, not just America, but I'm easing into the subject and America really has a colorful history for our short time so far.

Wasn't there some kind of pod in another country that just has you breathe a gas as you drift off to sleep and the company comes and gets the pod and your remains later?

As someone who recently was wondering what my alternatives to Reddit were, then stumbling here recently, I think what we need is a good personality to do a 3 minute YouTube tutorial that gets out on Reddit.

I still don't fully understand the difference between the two, but what I do know is encouraging. But it took effort to discover that difference. Reddit is apathetic. A three minute video may be short enough to get people to understand.

Just needs to show what it looks like (similar to Reddit with sync and I'm sure others), then a brief description of how it differs under the hood, and then how to set up an account and subscribe to a community.

I like to help support the production of new stuff to watch. This was great with Netflix for awhile, but I didn't really like their shows lately, so I canceled them and got an HBO account. It will take me awhile to get through the shows there I want to watch. Then I will cancel and do another, either hulu or paramount or Disney, depending on shows.

I feel like paying for one service is a fair amount still.

What? Is there a good alternative? If we could magically make the world 100% renewable+nuclear in only 14 years that would be amazing I think. It would not solve everything, but sometimes it takes a bit to stop the bleeding before healing can start (carbon capture and planting trees during nuclear construction maybe?)

Is there a faster way?
