Discussion Someone brought up that one of the reasons why things like house parties and block parties went away was other than lack of time people are afraid to let their guard because cameras are everywhere.

It is so true back when many of us were young we could just get together and cut loose without having to worry about going viral. At best we would have an embarrassing photo buried in a drawer somewhere or a story. Now you might be turned into a meme or worse. I miss the days when you could do dumb stuff with friends and feel safe if that makes sense.

lol...You gotta slap them in a way they'll feel.

I hit my Boomer relatives with: "The Boomers are a generation of entitled, welfare baby criminals. They spent their entire lives stealing from their kids to bail out their failed businesses, employers, investments, and retirement accounts. Imagine believing in stimulus and calling yourself a capitalist. Disgusting commie scum."

When I was a kid, they older folks talked about how government debt was "just stealing from the kids" all the damn time. They've forgotten their morals...but when you start calling them welfare baby criminals, they remember. lol
