This has been discussed ad infinitum on these very boards, and it typically devolves, quickly.

The main reason why Boomers receive such animosity from younger generations is largely because the world Boomers had vs the worlds that Xers, Millennials, and Zoomers have, are fundamentally different, and the rules are entirely rewritten. When younger generations call this out, and say that the game's rules are rewritten on the fly (largely at Xers/Millennials' expense), Boomers tend to say that younger generations just don't work hard enough, or something about avocado toast.

And it falls apart from there, and degenerates into name calling, etc.

I think there would greater cooperation and mutual care for each other if Boomers had some level of understanding for the current world, and if Xers/Millennials released some envy and frustration to the older cohort. Both sides have something to learn from each other.


You're correctly illuminating the fact the world has changed a TON over the relevant course of time which covers this topic.
Game 4 was an interesting study in the "let them play" vs. "dare ya to breathe wrong on them" dichotomy. :rolleyes:
We came out flat and the Spurs were literally fighting for their lives.

We need everyone back & healthy
Where did they find that busted can of biscuits ?
It’s sometimes hard to not take SGA for granted, like he’s going to make the right pass and hit ridiculously clutch shots but he makes it look routine. But then you see the slow-mo replay and his eyes are huge like he’s jacked with adrenaline. He’s so unique. then add the points you highlighted about the success produced by his unselfishness.. the dude is a legit freak.
So many thoughts..

The game-to-game adjustments have been superb. Daignault doing work.

Our bench depth really stood out in this game.

Their t-shirt color scheme was god awful.

Going up 15-0 to start the game then getting their asses kicked in routine fashion, that's a massive gut punch.

Running Fox out there with a high ankle sprain. Shameful.

Dort took one shot the entire game. There must be some kind of strategy there. I'll wager a bet: the first game back in OKC, he takes 16 shots.

Jared McCain. LOL @ the 76'ers front office.

If you're going to foul Wemby, FOUL HIM. JORDAN RULES.

Can we get a Gentleman's Sweep??
Fair point, I saw that one too and it didn't register :cheers:

the modern ones align with the growth of drones.


Just for discussion purposes: are there any small spherical drones which can travel at fast speeds (how fast is tbd) way out over the middle of the ocean with no exhaust heat and nothing or nobody around to control it? :dunno:
A couple seem like they could be explainable. The one moving through a cloud seems like a weather balloon to me. Most of the others are the small 'orb' variety. A couple others, to me, correlate with what the 4chan guy described as a 'hammer shape.'

Regardless, there's definitely some weird, unexplainable shite flying around. The new one posted of some craft going in and out of the ocean at a high clip.. weird stuff

It is hard to determine speed over the ocean, but someone more patient than me could gauge the speed of them while flying over land in a perfect straight line.
Dude it is not as bad as you feel right now. After about 35 years of age, I was always about 15-20 Lbs. overweight. Enough to bother me, but not enough to do anything about it. I go to Japan several times per year for work. On one particular trip years ago, I knew what I weighed before I left home. I ate like a madman in Japan that week so when I got back, I weighed to see the damage.. but I had lost 7 pounds. Why? No highly processed and high-carb foods, and 30-minute brisk walks 2 or 3 times per day. My point is that no matter how down you feel about this right now, a couple new habits WILL set you on the right track.

Hell we have parking cops putting tickets on cars in driveways if they are blocking the sidewalks (city law.)
Thanks, I am about halfway through this and despite my cynical nature, the hair on the back of my neck is standing up

The Denver metro might as well be the Bay Area. Very very similar types of folks.
