@Darberoom1954 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis have the worms gone full on The Last of Us cordyceps yet and control their every move or are they still in there somewhere? Has your friend started talking like someone ran a cheese grater over their vocal cord? I'm sorry, but it could be too late.

@Darberoom1954 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis it's ok, Tylenol is a great rememdy

@cazabon check out the podcasts Search Engine and Hard Fork. The hosts are friends/nerds and just did episodes about federated social media and they made the #forkiverse for listeners that wanted a wading pool to get their threads/X/Facebook/tiktok hating toes wet with Mastoverse juice #searchenginepodcast #hardfork

@hosford42 @FuturisticRobert @szczurtorebkowy @thordis there's always money in the banana stand chk-CHK

Edit - I should explain. I wasn't trying to be trite about your situation at all even though it looks like I clearly am in retrospect. That was more pointing out how generational wealth breeds the inability to notice others struggles. If you always have a banana stand in your family, you don't have to worry about the day-to-day of people without a banana stand

@syllopsium @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis cool

@hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis honestly I think naming generations in a fun and easily mocked way is like the 2-party system in the US, if you're playing the game you lose, the only winners are the ones controlling the refs

@imalcolm @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis it's not all your fault, you guys got the tail end of the lead paint just like mommy and daddy, they just had to breathe it at the same time from leaded gasoline fumes

@hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis ostensibly it's centered around us being born into a totally analog world that still played outside all day without supervision and movies and TV had production values still and there were Rolodexes, but then we were still young enough for the flip to a digital society to be able to implant itself in our lives in a way that the Lead Paint Generation and Gen X was just a little too old and inelastic for. Some of them could, but not overall.

@szczurtorebkowy @thordis also seen us called "the lucky ones" and "the Oregon Trail Generation"
