counterpoint: never fly spirit OR southwest

The correct thing to do when life hands you lemons is to find someone to whom life gave vodka...and have a party!

You know, you might have had a point up til you started talking about how great Canada’s unis looked...those look like hipster douche trash sportcoats, not “we mean business suits”.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I think she would do a wonderful job!

I would like some coverage on Helen Clark’s bid for Secretary General of the UN. All the American election stuff is making my brain hurt.

My theory is that it’s about what you have to lose. Boomers are likely to think the won’t get caught and will escap punishment and can retire.

Also the risk of losing your job if they do testing; possibly getting arrested, jail, a record, etc. Jeff Spicoli was funny as hell but I have no desire to be him at 44.

I’m a Gen Xer (on the older side of, but within the spread), and it just seems immature to me. Plus, simple possession is still illegal where I live, so my SO, if s/he smoked pot, would have to never bring any into the house or car. ‘Cause I’m not being put at risk just because you wanna live like you’re fifteen.

I think that is it. As a 44 year old Gen-X with kids, husband, bills, job, responsibilities, etc., smoking weed or being with someone that does just doesn’t hold any appeal. Baby boomers are empty nesters that are either in or nearing retirement. I imagine the appeal for them is greater.

As a Gen Xer, my guess would be because many of us had stoner Boomer parents, so for us, weed is an uncool thing our try-hard loser parents did*. Millennials are more likely to have parents who didn’t smoke up, so they think weed is cool again (much like they invented everything, just ask them).

Why wouldn’t you want to date someone who sits on the couch all day, eating Cheetos and watching Spongebob?

That’s because Gen X’s gateway drug was cutting sarcasm and caffeine, before we moved onto bitter irony and heroin. Jesus. Kids today.

That’s what I think - so they asked a bunch of adults in their 30's and 40's if they want to date a pothead... as a Gen-xer my response would be “no thanks, been there, done that, grown out of it.”

Okay okay. We get that it’s 4/20 but enough with the weed stories. You do know that a woman pretty much secured the Presidency yesterday right? Can we get some more coverage on that when you get a chance?

And baby showers, which are one million times worse than weddings.

Your problem is that you have too many friends. I don’t know 26 people well enough to be invited to their weddings. It’s cheaper that way.

Yeah, you’re 33 now, we get it.
