I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.

LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they're so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won't ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don't give a fuck.

Have you seen the Futurama movies? I didn't even know they existed until this year and I'm trying to decide whether I should see the movies before starting the new season.

I'm going through TOS (nearing the end of season 2) and have been wondering whether I should watch the animated series, leaning on skipping it entirely, is it worth watching? I'm all for animation, but tbh a lot of american animation has left me disappointed.

I tried to read Asimov (by recommendation of my grandpa) as a kid and even though I was big into really heavy, dry philosophy and philosophical books I couldn't get through any of his books - if you watch Foundation without expecting a great adaptation of the books (which in and of itself would be quite an achievement which I doubt we'll ever see) it is a pretty great scifi show in my opinion. Certainly piqued my interest in finally reading the books even if it's nothing like the show, but then again I don't expect adaptations to be exact replicas of the original work and find that very difference enjoyable.

My folks had a stove with two (electric) heat elements in the same way I assume OP has, to use both, you had to go 360° all the way to a full circle where it "clicked", then go back to where you wanted it at. Much easier and sensible IMO than whatever the hell this headache is.

Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo The Residents - Commercial Album or Animal Lover or Mark of the Mole or God in Three Persons

Lol obviously, brainfart on my behalf. Is there a word for those kinds of sarcastic (for lack of a better word) quotes where it's not just quoted, but implied to cast doubt on the original text/quote?

Look at you telling on yourself putting "it" in "air quotes" and all.

Exactly.

"Owning the [insert taste of the month]".

It's the same exact shit as "how can you tell someone's vegan? - THEY'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT!!!, yet in my entire 30+ years of life I've never heard anyone ever say they're vegan or vegetarian or anything unless asked about, but I have a feeling I won't stop hearing someone announce that they eat meat AND MEAT ONLY or some shit like that until I die.

Shit got tired before it even started, because it's just the same old shit in a different wrapper.
