Kind of lost me when they started talking about the lead in the gas causing brain damage. Never any real proof except they used it as an excuse to explain why inner city kids were stupid. So they took the lead out and now they are even dumber.

if kids were drinking it or bathing in it then i don't think the lead in it was the issue in the first place.
Otherwise how would they of come in contact with leaded gas?
None of them owned cars at their age.

The leaded gas issue was more about atmospheric exposure than spilling it on their hands when refueling.

Also, lead is in the environment from 200 years of industrial production. There are many interesting studies that show hunters who eat game shot with lead at high frequency have equal and or lower lead levels than city dwellers due to atmospheric exposure. Its only in native populations where subsistence hunting is used and lead is ingested through game meat daily that they breach the recommended amount.

The Gen Z boomer hate is just a cope for their failure to launch. Most of them are free range raised and parents were their friends more than parents and they have hardly ever been told no. Almost every Gen Z and A smokes weed and vapes, they start young. 18 years old and you need an energy drink just to wake up, nicotine just to mentally function, and then weed to keep from having a panic attack over daily stress which is lower than it has ever been. They won't get jobs because they are "focusing on school" but their test scores are the lowest since they started testing. Most of them just want to chill with their friends and smoke weed or jerk off to porn all day. That's fine but when it becomes your daily routine and then you just fuk off all of the time and then one day you need to pay bills so you cry, and expect to be able to just jump on the job and start making experienced money. Making entry level work their whole career. Millenials as well as Gen A/Z were taught from a young age to blame everyone else so it all makes sense. Guess you're going to have to learn the hard way.

More like degenerate mumble rap glorify being a retard. Take out the facial piercings and don't tatt up your face. A little weed, not really a problem but when you are toking on it all of the time. Blew my mind but seeing how some people will just have a bong or pipe sitting around and take a couple hits off of it just like it's nothing, not to get high, just all of the time. There might be a few this doesn't apply to but most people who smoke a lot of weed, well they just are going nowhere. A gap year turns into a gap decade.

You are 18-21, people expect you to be a bit of a retard and irrisponsible, not know much, not have anything solid, so they let you learn. After say 23+ you need to have some solid qualities. 30+ you need to know what you are doing. 40+ you need to be advanced with solid processes. The problem is if you are 25+ and you are irrisponsible with no work ethic, people don't have much time for that. 30+ and you are a lost cause. 40+ nobody is going to tollerate it. Why are they going to invest in your training or tollerate you when you have proven you just aren't progressing?

20 years ago, fast food, grocery stores, were filled with teenagers working. Now you have 30-40 year olds making a career out of an entry level position.

Except its not close to being the same product as even 30 years ago let alone 50.

"Weed was significantly weaker in the 1970s. During that era, the average tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content was roughly 1% to 3%. In contrast, modern strains found in dispensaries routinely test between 20% and 30%.

If one smokes weed today, they are very likely addicted.

There are a lot more varieties these days too. A lot of people don’t like the strong stuff.

Making fun of boomers is mostly harmless fun. I enjoy it, but will also admit a lot of what Jaydubs wrote is correct. I don’t see it as my problem though. Fuck ‘em. They’ll figure something out just like the rest of us did. Things are going to change regardless.

Negative. 50 isn’t too far off though.

That’s still old as fuck, but haven’t gone full retard just yet. Soon.

And I have nothing against pickle ball, but I’m much more looking forward to bocce with the other dago’s down in Boca.

the reason city kids have concentrations of lead is because most of the city water supply pipes were lead and still are.
