Ah! Nailed it.

Boomers for sure did, leaded gasoline began being used before Boomers were even born.

What likely leads to greater exposure is how many cars there were by the 70s and 80s. But lead exposure is cumulative over a lifetime. So I would be curious to see that research, as Boomers had roughly 40 years of exposure from 1950s to 1994. Gen X wouldn’t have that much by decades.

Yeah, their WWII PTSD really boosted the canned food craze. But the Boomers (no pun intended) ate it up, and carried it along and put it all in plastic.

“Ewww, Ubuntu? Honey, don’t touch it. We’re an Arch family.”

-No one ever

These people were obsessed with eating canned food. They thought that they could make it palatable with stuff like slathering it in mayonnaise or suspending it in jello.

Boomers are sociopaths. Years of leaded gas exposure gave them lifelong cognitive decline and propensity towards erratic behavior.

No, sorry, we can’t flirt. You are only allowed to send blast DMs calling yourself the Fediverse Chick/Dude/Person.

As someone that almost drown in a ripcurrent off of Ghana and Sao Tome very sober both times, it can happen very quickly, and you need help before you even understand what’s happening. In places where beaches aren’t huge and the shelf drops off quickly, you don’t realize you’re on the edge of a dangerous area because it’s unmarked.

You’re a baby made out of sugar? What an incredible job.

I guess that explains being the Gulf region, it doesn’t rain much there. Otherwise you’d melt.

A lead-in cut scene for a game like Half-Life or Portal that ostensibly takes place in a workplace, where the back story is just a bunch of reply-all emails, a passive aggressive birthday card message, and increasingly poor performance reviews.

“I’m not exactly sure how this started, other than on the Finance floor, and somehow having to do with bringing a pie to a birthday lunch and not cake. These people are sick. I don’t even know if I’m a good guy, or a bad guy. There’s a huge difference, but I can’t even tell.”

I only see the weird dog.

There’s a hippo?

lol, as if it’s all magic?

Does the sinkhole caused by slapdash construction feature on the map?

How about the shed where 4 people died during construction?

This should be in NotTheOnion

Project 2029? Even their strategy document name is cringe.

Totally shocking that LibreOffice would crash and be janky on Win 11, but works like a dream on OS X and Linux.

Hmm…why could that be…hmmm…

And just like that, 200 redneck women said in unison “huh, that’s a real pretty name. Schardonayegh. Ooooh, even better -Schardonayegh Lynn. I love it!”

It’s far far worse than American TV. TV commercials are a scattershot hope that you show the ad to 2 million people and 10,000 see it and buy your product.

With Google fingerprint tracking, advertisers are selling hyper-targeted ads so a company buys only ads to show to the right 10,000 people over and over. It’s a literal dream for advertisers. But it’s a fucking dystopian nightmare for us.

Praise be

Found the Canadian.

Yeah, but it is and it isn’t, right?

Companies will do all sorts of crazy stuff for mergers to work out. History is riddled with epic failures like this as well. Microsoft buying Nokia comes to mind. Mergers have sunk costs and emotional, ego-driven people at their core.

So when something is sooooo close to happening and needs and just ONE more thing, approval from the FCC. In an environment where what truly does amount to a $16 million bribe isn’t enough to get the last last last paper signed, Paramount will act irrational in the short term to get long term financial gains.

Personally, I think it’s a bluff. They’ll cancel a decently rated show in its 11th season, with nothing to replace it at all…next year? Well the merger should be fine sooner than that, allowing time for Paramount to undo the cancelation.

Has chocolate and hot peppers. 100% winning.
