My aunt is a California transplant living in NY. She's been miserable the last two years with snow. This year she has to hide her glee and pretend to commiserate with the locals about how horrible this weather is.

What kills me is people buying new games when they haven't finished the one they're currently working on. Losing interest in something you've paid money for is wasteful and the start of a bad habit; having two unfinished games in one's collection and then they buy a third. Which leads to three unfinished games and then they buy a fourth. Et cetera et cetera.

Nova_C I put that in the same box as "I don't know anyone's phone number anymore" if anything that is just us keeping up with the times.

I was trying to think of any not retired porn stars and the only names I could remember were Chasey Lain and Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick and I'm like, "I think I'm getting old."

i will say my parents are both people who do not cotton to this idea that you can't figure out how to use the technology you have in your every day life
The day I ask a younger person for help with something technical is the day I put a bullet in my brain. I will never, ever fall behind and if I do, it's a clear sign I'm losing my mind.

Also, I have a new idea for streaming.
Get somebody on Skype, but don't share my screen. Tell them not to look at the stream.

I'd have to check.
But there's a bunch there that I've never even played.

Have you guys listened to the "still buffering" podcast? Just being on a site like this puts us in old man territory, how teens use the internet and social media is terrifying.
I guess if you're just talking about sportswriters and commentators then that's not true though, the fellatio of Tom Brady is endless.
yeah it's the media coverage where it's pretty starkly "black man doesn't respect game", "white man is golden god and also such nice teeth"
I don't really follow sportsball matches for the most part, but a lot of the 'this guy is too brash/cocky/aggressive' shit that gets talked about mostly black players stinks of how white america practically drooled at the idea of a white boxer bringing Ali down a notch or two. People really don't like watching massive negroes smash the shit out of white competitors, then gloat over how severely they fucked them up and how awesome it was
It's a long tradition. From my childhood, I can remember watching a few white basketball players be complete unsportsmanlike fuckteeth, while the whole world talked about Barkley being too rough or aggressive; Danny Ange being a complete abusive whiny jerk in a game against whatever team Barkley was on at the time springs to mind specifically
I remember, nearly ten years ago, listening to people enthusiastically rooting for Rampage Jackson to get beaten badly by a white fighter, because he was somehow a bigger asshole than all the creepy alpha male bro-machine neo-nazi-looking white competitors. Same with Silva. Chuck Liddell was a titanic, sloppy idiot fuckstick who never seemed to go out of his way to be 'humble' or sportsmanlike, but people just looooved him. Yet you get a couple of black dudes laying waste to white competitors, and they're assholes. Right.
And I've watched two Huge Friggin Deal white quarterbacks look like they're about to cry in the Superbowl. Nothing made out of that. Cam Newton gets actively pissed on the goal line, what a dick, right?
I don't really like to wave the racism flag, but this is definitely A Thing
No doubt. But there is also some selection bias at work here. If I were to go purely off of what I hear lip to ear I could assume that Cam Newton literally walks on water and that Tom Brady is the antichrist, and Bill Belicheck the devil incarnate.
And while I concede that you can generalize about what the sports talking heads are saying, I do not accept that you can generalize about what "everyone" or "the whole world" is saying (or "all white people" for that matter).

The great thing is that you won't even necessarily think anything of it. The dad in that comic did not first think of trying to do it himself, trying to look it up on Google, or even asking his son how to do it in a way that would inevitably involve his son just doing it. His first thought was to just have Dustin do it because of course that is what you do as soon as you have some sort of tech issue.

My university costs about 7-8k but it is not prestigious or hoity toity. I felt like a got a good education though. I guess if you want to live with crushing debt, more power to you.
a year, right?
so that bachelor's is still costing between $28000-$32000 + books and other expenses.
It's cheap, but you're still likely starting out with low five figures in debt.
Even if you finance the whole thing entirely through loans though it's still likely not a life-long debt. And the vast majority of my classmates worked, if not during the semester, then in the summer. Most of them were walking away relatively debt free. Certainly nothing like people here are experiencing.
private schools exist and some people think they're too good for state.
The day I ask a younger person for help with something technical is the day I put a bullet in my brain. I will never, ever fall behind and if I do, it's a clear sign I'm losing my mind.

My parents are usually pretty good at technology, sometimes they ask why the sound on the TV isn't working (it is because unless the HDMI input device is on before the TV the sound won't boot on the TV until you change sources)
There was an incident a little while ago, though, which made me wonder
I opened the door and saw mum on the phone, dad staring at the router, and she said, "I'm on with the ISP tech support, the router stopped working and hasn't come back for over an hour"
So I go over, look at the thing, see it has zero lights on at all
and then pull back the couch to reveal that the router has been unplugged from the wall somehow
I did not say anything

people get in heaps of student debt for a lot of reasons. most young people don't have complete information about the relative utility of degrees (either the major or the prestige of the university). many people don't pass all of their classes and have to retake things. some people have familial support and some don't.
