Why so many pictures of this feature? What is it?
I find it interesting that to me, an X-genner, this article is pretty clearly aimed at Boomers, but the majority of people who seem to be criticizing it seem to be Y-gens.... many of whom seem to have taken it as a critique of themselves.
Older generations tend to do that to younger regardless.... though I find it particularly funny when the Boomers do this as that they were the ones who coined (and killed) the phrase "Never Trust Anyone Over 30."
Names for generations are determined at random periods in their 'life cycle.' Boomers were named very early on, while the X gen was over half way through it's run before it got a name that stuck.
As an X Gen, I completely agree that Y Gen is not a good term to define your age cohorts. You are fundamentally different than my generation, and by no means in a bad way. Indeed, I respect a great deal of what makes your Gen it's own. Sadly, much like the national debt and the present state of the world, I fear…
Yeah... Radioheads too young for me too... but I'm still and X-gen.... Oh and by the way, I did try to change things. So did a lot of us(ever hear of Apartheid?) , we just didn't go tooting our own horns about it the way the Boomers did.
X Gen is the generation that immediately followed the Boomers... which ended in 1965... so X-gen begins in 1965 and thus by genealogical stands would normally end in 1985... but I wouldn't quibble over a three year difference.
They also began the house-as-investment policy that drove the price of housing so high that if you were going to own a home as an X-gen you probably couldn't afford anything more than a tiny little house while McMansion after McMansion was built by the Boomers.... AND they burned out the Social Security while whining…
As an X-gen (first of the breed indeed), I definately do not look down on the younger generations.
It was released as Road Warrior in the US, but at Mad Max 2 in some countries, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in others and... well you get the point.
oh I was going to add that one!
Snarky answers aside, it is called the Moon because all other satellites were named after it.
Out of curiosity, it is clearly a larger percentage, but is it a larger amount of money? I suspect 3% of the NFL's budget is higher than 15% of Komen's... which says a lot about society I suppose....
Actually, I'm surprised Toyota didn't suggest that this is why a couple years ago its cars suddenly accelerated out of control.
Oh god no. There are a lot easier ways of doing that!
For those of you who want to see a representation of how space warps... this is decent.
This convention began for several reasons. To start with, many of the classic movies about Rome were made in Britain. Fair enough right?
Uhhh... are you talking about the same Ghost In a Shell that I know? 'Cause I don't think that was supposed to be a nice view of the future.
