The far-right ideological obsession in general by MAGAs and their typical knee-jerk right-wing outrage just frustrates me. Example: a white girl nursing student was unalived by some random dude with priors while jogging near the intramural fields at UGA in Athens Friday morning. Said dude was immediately revealed to be an undocumented Latino, so of course as soon as this happened the MAGAs immediately decided to play their favorite game of "pin the blame on the Biden administration's border policies" (complete with official outrage-feigning statements from Brian Kemp and a senator named Mike Collins). Had she been unalived by a black man they'd have been calling for a lynching mob. Had it been a man of her skin color, they would have simply shrugged their shoulders and skipped straight to the "thoughts and prayers"...
Did you just say “unalived”?
JFK dude.
I've seen other people use it. What's your problem with it?
The word is killed, murdered, dead etc…
How old are you?
Serious question.

It's usually used on social media platforms that will take down your video if you use suicide or murder. I've never heard it used IRL.

Also, cars and driving. Who cares as long as you get from A to B?
I have a driver's license, but the last time I drove was in 1997. I've always lived in a good location and have had no reason for a car. My girlfriend has a car and I could drive it, but have no interest. It doesn't Hurt my pride to sit in the passanger's seat either. Maybe I'll drive again one day.
Sounds almost like me, but I occasionally drive on vacations if we have a rental car. Once every 4-5 years.
Anyway, people who don't live in good locations have a reason to have and use cars, if only to get to the nearest supermarket.
It's the ones who love driving every day, talking about their cars etc I don't understand.
In Poland or the Balkans you're weird if you DON'T love cars and driving... go figure.

"Unalived" is so fucking stupid. Death, no matter the reason, is a part of life. If you're such a fucking pussy that you can't even hear the word "suicide," "murdered," "killed," etc, without breaking down, go unalive yourself. Everyone dies. It sucks. Suicide fucking sucks. But it's a thing. Get over it.

Anyway, I agree on both coffee and sports fanaticism. Also tattoos. People just can't fucking live unless they're scribbled all over the second they're legally able to be so.

Okay, I get it, guys. I just used that word because I thought it sounded a bit trendier and cooler than just “murdered”. I guess I was wrong.😑 Gotta stay hip and relevant for the younger generation, you know?

“Unstay”? That’s probably even more hip and relevant. I should use that one on the Manowar haters and tell them to unstay themselves from the hall!

I understand the nostalgia and the physical aspects, but not for me this time around.
so my son got me into vinyl and I'm slowly stocking my collection with catalogs from the Stones, Beatles, Hendrix, Doors, Petty, Fleetwood, Marley, Bowie, Cash, etc.... Get most albums for under $15 and I love putting an album on, hearing the crackle, and listening to it the way it was intended to be listened to. Also hearing deeper tracks that I never heard before, so totally introducing me to newer music from some of my favorite bands.

Yeah, my whole thing is just making myself appreciate music again. Once I had the history of recorded sound bouncing around in my pocket, it all became background music for driving.

"Cash drain" is probably the most accurate description for buying vinyl. :lol:

And it never ends. I like Bowie so I gotta get Ziggy Stardust. Okay, now I need Hunky Dory. Before long, I'm buying a European deluxe reissue of Never Let Me Down.

Or women with mostly monochromatic sleeves. Up close the detail can be really cool when you can discern it, but from more than five feet away it looks like they stuck their arm in an oil recycling drum.

A guy I used to work with had been a tattooist for years, variously part and full time. One of our younger colleagues asked him about getting a face tattoo. He said he'd never do them because he'd seen a lot but he didn't know anyone who hadn't regretted it in the end.

I have full sleeves on both arms. It's been 10-15 years since I've gotten a tattoo. I don't regret them. I also have a half dozen other tattoos that are typically not visible. I didn't get my first until close to 30 years old, so there was never this rebel-just-turned-18 thing involved. My "theme," if you will, are chapters of my life. It's my story and means something to me. I don't notice them when I see myself in the mirror they've been a part of me for so long, and I don't care what others think at this point in life.

I wish we had a subway system like NYC.
Every time I go to New York, the subway is the thing that enamors me the most! You can get anywhere in 10 or 15 minutes!
Why can't we get this in LA???

Julia Roberts. Every guy I know is in love with her but I always thought she was fug. Good hair that's it. Her lips gross me out no end. And I hate how every movie promo of hers shows her horsey laugh. Oh well, she neighing at me all the way to the bank.

Not understanding the water cup craze. Stanley, Yeti, whatever. Why would you want to lug around a big metal cup all day like its your binky? Water is very easy to come by if you're thirsty.

Expensive cosmetics. No one's going to know what brands you used when they see you. You're paying for the packaging which you can't wear.

Long ass fake nails. You can't do anything without having to be conscious of them. Something as simple as pulling out your credit card becomes an ordeal. Is it really worth the hassle? That's just one of the women's trend I think are dumb. Not a fan of fake eyelashes, over inflated lips or the ten pounds of makeup you see women on Tik Tok piling on. That can't look good IRL.

The overuse of technology, smartphones, K-pop, 99 cent pizza...

How about family life in general? Having a Peg Bundy at home, raising a bunch of kids that hate you, living in a house you don't like and having a job you can't stand just to support Peg and the brats and the house the misery built.

Somebody get me a beer and an Oxycontin. The old man is grumpy this morning.
