They are dismissing them because boomers are presuming to lecture them for trying to fix a problem the boomers largely created.

My mom had a brown Maxima wagon when I was small. I think these were only available in the 2nd gen mid to late 80s? Sadly, it was totaled in a flood. (Houston gets a lot of rain in hurricane season). Nice car.

Silence was excellent

The difficulty can be a barrier for DS, but the atmosphere/mood is just so great. Strange and melancholy, kind of like Shadow of the Colossus or Ico, it sticks with you.

I generally agree with him, but his point about the shared experience in the theater doesn’t really hold up, I think.

There are a lot of situations where your brain is half-engaged in a couple things. Like if you’re cooking or something.

Yeah he’s a real whack-ass buster

‘Misnamer’ is a nice touch.

Yeah, formal has a specific meaning. Also, don’t wear a tux during the day. Everyone seems to do this at weddings, and it’s always an ill-fitting rental from, like, Men’s Wearhouse or something. Either wear the correct formal/semi-formal clothing, or just put on a decent suit.

Your best source is a janky out-of-print book from 20 years ago? Make your argument and cite some actual data, not some Reagan-era crank.

The author is discussing what he did in his role as governor. Mentioning his party seems pretty relevant to me.

I get what they’re going for with the Element, but it strikes me as a practical, reliable car that actually has a kind of distinctive style. Basically, all the reasons they describe it as a sadness car seem to me to just be sensible. Honestly, it’s got more character than a late model BMW X5 or something.

I think Latino, since you’re presumably referring to men and women working in these restaurants.

How old were you potty trained?! You remember it?

I think he’s getting at neutral reporting vs. sensationalizing.

He’s pretty good in Mississippi Grind, with minimal wisecrackery.

I had Geico for my motorcycle. They can’t be beat for that.

Sounds like a certain seaman’s jealous, Commodore.

Is your Crunch Berries always mixed as poorly as mine? I eat about 2 boxes per week, and the top of a new bag is like 80% berry. By the bottom, you might as well be eating regular Cap’n Crunch. It’s hard to shake it up, too.
