Sorry - I'm too old to understand. Is the controversy good or bad?

Like, how South Park would actively mock religions because they knew the news would give them more exposure?

Yeah but before, we could eat BBQ and blow off fireworks and pretend like America is going to fix itself.

Literally nobody I know is doing a cook out.

We have some scheduled on July 12th.

30yo kind of have their lives together.

Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.

From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I'm 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

I'm going to go against the grain and suggest finding people with like-minded life situations.

I had a friend who has a divorce at age 40. I did all I could as a friend, provide sympathy, check in. But he was extremely miserable, or just downright offensive.

Dating is hard at that age - I get it. I don't need to hear his opinion about why women of today aren't what he wants in every conversation.

I also cannot play his wingman. No, I'm not going to "pretend" to flirt with girls at a bar with him when I'm married.

But it became offensive. Like my niece turned into an adult and he asked: "Is she looking for a man?" Dude, you're twenty years older. WTF.

Joke or not, as a married man, that's not where I am in life. And yeah, I absolutely stopped hanging out with him because this version of him is hard to deal with.

I thought I was losing it because this app wanted to save things to a "downloads" folder. Only to find out it saves it in something like

documents/app name/downloads Instead of

Downloads/

As a kid, back before we had wikis and websites with all the information you want, I thought it was the funniest thing when I gave my Magikarp hyper beam.

brand new X-wing or lightsaber or landspeeder isn't all that different from one that was built 50 or even 100s of years ago.

If you want to get extremely weird... The Old Republic takes place 3600 years before the original trilogy.

Tech is mostly the same.

Compared to 3600 years in reality, we went from pooping in a hole to pooping into a magic toilet that sings you songs while spraying you with water.

Isn't there a community on Lemmy for this level of unhinged?

If not, we need one.

New TV show ideas: how far can you punt this animal.

Wait, people say "Jurassic Park Bullshit" dinosaurs?!

Even if they're inaccurate, they're my homies.

Also I'm referring to the 1990s Jurassic Park. I haven't kept up with modern versions.
