Yup my parents generation wasn't afraid to tell me how lazy I was and that if I would cut my hair and shave, I might have a chance in life. Of course, I didn't trust anyone over 30.
That poor kid is probably going to be traumatized for life. I still remember when I was 4 years old and my uncle's tom turkey attacked me. Actually, I think he was trying to make love to me, but either way it was scary. Lucky for me, my older cousin was there to beat it with a stick.
For all you guys all hot under the collar about not being able to hunt sheep. My oldest daughter has a big fat one out in her pasture that I'm sure she would let you shoot for a very reasonable price.
We start teaching it in grade school with "school pride" Or school is better than all those "other" schools.
Or it may be evolutionary. I can see how it might be useful in a small band of hunter gatherers competing for limited resources with other bands.
It's too bad us boomers don't understand how hard inflation hits a young person stating out in life. When I graduated high school in 1972 the inflation rate was 3.76%. rose to 6.22% in 73, 12.34% in 74, down to 9.3% in 75, only 5.76% in 76, 6.5% in 77, 7.6% in 78, up to11.35% in 79, 13.5% in 80...
True story: I knew a married catholic woman who got pregnant by a man who was not her husband. When her sister asked her why she didn't at least use birth control while messing around. Her answer was "birth control is a sin."
We have a lot of bears with various shades of brown and black all mixed up together. We usually call them "dirty bear."
I have seen two that were blond with dark brown head and legs. We called them elk bear.
I saw three cinnamon bears with dark brown head and legs. They were all together and...
I am by no means a millionaire, but I am a hell of a lot closer than I ever thought I would be. But since most of my net worth is tied up in my home it sure doesn't feel like I'm worth much. In 2020 my house was assessed at $180,000. I owed $62,000. I refinanced at $100,000 to get money to do...
I know it's tough being a Gen Z type person but you're young. It was tough for us boomers when we were young. In that meme about boomers, it says, "homeowner at age 22" In reality a boomer born with a penis, at age 22 was more than likely just getting out of his mandatory military service where...
A lot of people in the trades did go to community college to get started. They have a huge advantage over someone with just a HS diploma walking onto a job site and asking for a job.
Funny thing is, I know a whole bunch of gen Z type people. Their struggles and difficulties look a whole lot like what we boomers went through at that age. From a distance I can sit and watch them slowly morphing into what we boomers are today.
The gen Zs I know don't complain about a 40-hour...
I guess Mr. Scott, If I may be so presumptuous to call him Mr. or him, thinks that us boomers were all making $30,000 at age 27. Personally, at 27, I was just three years out of doing my military duty, working full time, starting a family and going to college on my $8,000 a year. 40-hour work...
