  • boomer: 1946 - 1963
  • Gen X : 1964 - 1979
  • millenial: 1980 - 1994
  • Gen Z : 1995 - 2012
  • Gen Alpha: 2013 - 2025

being born in 1974, I'm Gen X. My parents born in 1947 & 1948 are baby boomers.

maybe it's just people who don't live near water? everyone here grows up near Lake Michigan and Lake Eerie their whole lives so learn pretty early on the water is the same color during a thunderstorm as a lovely day.

generation?

It's also possible that because people here where I live grow up with Lake Michigan and Lake Eerie their whole lives, 2 of the Great Lakes, they're not as ignorant about water? 🤷🏿‍♂️

who the fuck thinks water color is the "reflection of the sky"? 😂. In 49 years I have never heard a person say this, ever. The idea that a person could or would think that never crossed my mind. This post hit me like a brick of dumb.

Reply to comment by crystalGwolf in TIL residents of Tangier Island, 12 miles off the coast of Virginia, have remained so isolated they still speak a dialect similar to the original colonists from the 1700s by emily_9511

>with the nasally accent Americans do today

wait, you watch Avengers and think Samuel L Jackson, Robert Downey Jr, etc. somehow have "nasally" accents but Peggy Carter and the other Brits who don't pronounce their "R"s and whose air literally goes up into their nose when pronouncing an A or H don't? crazy. You have heard King Charles speak, yes?

no, people in their 40s physically attracted to 18-20 year old adults are attracted to them because of their physical beauty that has not diminished with age, all their parts are still firm and in the proper place. This goes for both men and cougars checking out the muscled college boys with 6-pack abs alike. They are much more attractive than their 40 year old counterparts with skin damage, joint pains, beer guts, sagging breasts (on both men & women), stretch marks, saddlebags and wrinkles. The eyes you have at 20 you still have at 40. You can still distinguish that Jenna Ortega at 20 years old is still more attractive than 99.999% of 40 year old women you will see. You can see this at 20 years old and 40 years old all the same.

You're kind of a weirdo to associate attraction to adults at the peak of their physical beauty with sexual kinks, power issues, etc. People are physically attracted to what they find pleasing to the eye.

If someone were to pursue relationships with these much younger people, you may have some kind of point as being far past our primes of physical beauty all we really have to offer is money, etc. creating a power dynamic. That's not what you said though. Your post seems to be about your delusion that you suddenly begin finding belly fat, cellulite, skin damage, wrinkles and sagging body parts attractive as you get older and it's somehow weird that men and women don't.

Reply to 3 White Georgia jail guards arrested in violent assault of Black inmate by AudibleNod

This violent assault happened 2 months ago in a police station surrounded by police officers. Why were they not immediately arrested or arrested an hour later after their superior viewed the footage...or arrested the next day when the chief of police viewed the footage?

needs to be a lot more punishment doled out here to all the other police who refused to perform their duty and arrest these 3. If you're a police officer and you witness a violent felony assault it is your duty to arrest the perpetrator(s), even if it is your buddy.

cops were shot, right? Did they have bullets inside of them expelled from cartridges or were they full of buckshot or have a huge hole blown through them by a deer slug expelled from a shell? It's not like the ammo is interchangeable between the two.....

If you know what ammo someone is shot with you know what type of weapon they were shot with.
