We Gen x have been practicing taking a back seat our entire lives. As a generation we still don’t outnumber the boomers. Or we just crossed them on the graph. Pre covid we were supposed to finally cross around 2027. Covid might have skewed the projections. Kind of explains why we are the way we are. Never could do fuck all unless the boomers also wanted it.

And now the millennials are the largest group. Yall got the numbers. Use ‘em.

Girl = I think that trans mass shooter a wee while back. Deadname Audrey something iirc. Don’t remember the post trans name regrettably.

Thoughtful, thank you

Legit question: if Israel shouldn’t be doing what they are doing, what is the alternative that enhances their security? I sure don’t know what the alternate is that actually achieves a peaceful existence. Compromise of any sort seems repugnant to both Israelis and Palestinians.

Yeah if those dudes were rescuers they would have a) given her a blanket (or the shirt off their own back, how about?) for modesty and to help prevent shock for the obviously broken leg, and b) wouldn’t have been yanking her head around by the dreadlocks.

Those men in the truck and on that street, shouting “allahu akbar”, revolt other humans and make atheism the only worthy belief system.

Nothing in there about promoting work from home, I see. Best part of the lockdowns was the empty roads. More wfh the easier commutes get

Lost muscle memory and lost productivity. I didn’t really need to move the mouse much while using word programs, especially Excel. I think Microsoft stated during the transition the top end excel users lost something like 15-20% of their use speed? Something like that.

I actually miss the pop down menus that used to be accessible with the Alt key. Every single functional used to be listed there, albeit some things were sub functions, but the display had both icon and description. Icons alone are kind of annoying.

Ah! The other thing that pisses me off about the ribbon is that some parts of it are not visible until the use initiates a certain work type. Like picture functions are only visible if a picture is selected. What other hidden command groupings exist? A user can go poking around to discover what all Excel can do. Got to stumble into the magic combination of clicks to find what isn’t immediately visible.

Probably a good thing. As long as Gen X isn’t de facto lumped into boomers :-) I’m happy being forgotten in these inter generational wars.

I love new tech and I’m gen X. I’ve learned new tech all my life. What will fuck me going forward is bad UI. At some point graphic designers decided a dark gray font was better than black. All the keyboard shortcuts I used were changed by Microsoft and I’m still butt hurt about it. Still use MS office but grumpy with the Ribbon.

The sun is directly towards my window shield, if I back in. I can put a Sun visor in the windshield and the car is much more tolerable temperature-wise in the summer. But only if I back into my parking spot.
