Mom & Dad were present in kids’ lives. Really there, in the moment, with and for the family. I had Mom who did not work.

If reduce value to me / siblings, and subsequently to our kids / their grandkids in terms of their presence also in their lives, family stability, great memories, etc…

$100 million

This is the present value for your future generations in your family line of family bond, real presence and putting one another as priority in life.

Maybe more.

And wished all manor of evil on any DJ who had the audacity to talk over the last few bars of the song

Great job guys!


And those are the weaklings that took the brunt of being pelted in dirt clod fights and excessively tackled in smear the queer. You can only bully the weak tards that ended up becoming Democrats for so long.

I was watching a smosh video with my niece and nephew (I let them pick the channel) and they were talking about how they are all crippled by anxiety and how weird it is to be around someone who functions normally. They noted that their grandfathers didn't seem bothered by anxiety. I think it's because their grandparents weren't pussies. Everyone has anxious moments but you get over it instead of pandering to it.

Or we can acknowledge that we are absolutely overloading children with stimulation, primarily through “screens”, when their brains are the least prepared to deal with it, and that is having profound, lifelong effects.

I’m not sure I understand what that means, but I don’t think so?

This actually happened to me... Hit a telephone post while riding my bike... I was lying half in the street, my mom comes outside and screams at me to get out the street, no response, my mom then stomps her foot and yells louder. My friend tells my mom, he's been laying here for the last five minutes... My mom was like oh shite,

Nah, Gen X is kinda lame. We just think it’s silly being lumped in with people born in the mid 90s who don’t remember a world without pervasive home internet and barely remember a world without the smartphone.

lol, doesn’t feel like it. Apathy isn’t emotional durability.

Also known as discerning pillars of society.

Sorry for our cynicism: keeping society running while watching you pussies fail at everything you do has that effect on us.

If you don't know that the best tasting water comes from a hose, I don't know what to tell you.

Millennials were born in the early 80s, depending on who you ask, anywhere from 80-84 were the first Millennials
