I’ll defer to @whotookkarl 's comment as they put it best. No one “wants” those jobs.

I mean, sure, I’m not there employee either, but I’m also not going to be snarky with a similar response.

Sure, I’m not saying it’s exclusively a boomer complaint, just that boomers tend to complain about it more from my perspective.

I’m all for getting out of there as fast as possible. If I’m in line at self checkout and a cashier says “I can get you here”, I’m over there.

But generally, I prefer self checkout.

I agree 100%.

To me, this has always been more of a boomer complaint.

“to protect taxpayers from shouldering the cost of federal student loans”

What fucking costs are the taxpayers shouldering from student loans???

Good thing our governor is trying to disband the department that responds to wildfires.

I still use my first email (Hotmail) circa ~1997 as a sort of catch all. I have several others for various professional purposes.

I know her from several things (I didn’t watch Buffy), but Harriet the Spy is also my first thought. I will always think of that movie when I see those damn black and white journals too.

NASA vs NSA makes this more apparent too. For example:

Well to me, this meme reads like someone assuming Internet was needed to 100% a game, while, at least for me personally and the games I played growing up, 100% just wasn’t really a thing. I either beat the game, i.e. beat the final boss/level, or I didn’t.

I even remembered hating achievements and was somewhat let down when they added trophies in a PS3 patch. I never liked the idea of ‘achievement hunting’ as I felt it detracted from the fun of the game. I find myself doing some of this still today, though I can’t help but feel like if they didn’t exist, I’d be happier.

Though to be fair, I never grew up with a Nintendo or anything beyond a Gameboy Color, not did I play many RPGs, including FF. The closest I can think of is collecting all the Pokemon in the first gen games (never owned any others). But of course, that required multiple versions of the game and multiple Gameboys and/or friends.

Today however, RPGs are some of my favorites and games are an entirely different experience.

You can tell this meme was made by a Gen Z/Alpha gamer because games generally didn’t used to measure ‘completeness’ since that’s primarily measured today by trophies/achievements.

Sure, some games might have shown a percentage on your save file and of course you could find/complete everything in a strategy guide, but even those might not have shown absolutely everything including but not limited to Easter Eggs.

Edit: I grew up with a Sega Genesis, Gameboy, and eventually PlayStations.

That’s probably the second “save game” lol

"I don’t think I have trust issues. Why do you ask?

I remember one of the first objectives was cleaning up the museum. I just thought to myself, “really?”

That and Bloom. I hate Bloom.

Funny because Microsoft also recently dropped support for Firefox for Xbox GamePass Cloud Gaming on Android. I say “dropped support” but really they stopped letting you use the purpose built app and are now forcing you to use browser but the only “supported” browsers are Chrome and Edge. Firefox works, but they forcefully disconnected me after 5 minutes so it’s not a matter of compatibility. They just want that traffic going through Edge ideally but they do still support Chrome, for now.

If it’s anything like Truth Social, it won’t accept voip numbers. I know because I tried so I could watch the shit show first-hand. Noped out at that point though.
