He has ants in his eyes most of the time so he doesn’t see much.

No. The “Greatest Generation” (1901-1927) was the generation before the Silents who fought WWII. Silents are defined as starting in 1928 for this very reason - someone born in 1928 was too young to have fought in WWII. Also they were a rather small generation as the Great Depression and WWII were going on through most…

I used to be a space-miner like you. Then I took a space pickaxe in the knee.

until they make it personal by walking up to me and giving me no option but to see it

Yeah, she’s a hungry one.

Honestly, I was going to go longer but I’ve got a website timer for how long I can stay on the AV Club and it was about to run out.

Or, it’s a phrase they saw on Twitter and thought it sounded cool and edgy, so now they repeat it without any real deeper meaning or understanding.

I know, but this response is mandatory.  But my point stands about why my OP is relevant to the article.

I do. Which I would argue is largely melodramatic nonsense. Workers have protections today that those at the time the term was coined could have only dreamed of. No one falls into vats of processed meat at the plant and gets canned up as part of the product. Pre-COVID, wages were rising fastest in the lowest earnings…

Now that I can get behind.  It’s a new paradigm, in a pseudo post neocapitalist way.  You know?

I fully understand how shallow and superficial it is to say this, but I just cannot get past Meg Ryan’s botched plastic surgery. Her natural face would have aged so gracefully, I think.
