Re: "boomer" as an insult.

Can you explain why younger, less experienced people look down on people who are older, experienced more, learned more, and have accumulated more wisdom? The simple fact that you can't comprehend older people might have learned more than kids have - only proves to amplify how ignorant you truly are. If you were only half as smart as you believe yourself to be, you'd be embarrassed.

Anyone been here before?

She seems well adjusted.

Over the years we had senior cats with kidney issues that required subcutaneous fluids twice a week. Vet sold us the lactated ringer bags with tubes attached. Just had switch / use clean needles each time. Was pretty simple and easy to do. For the most part they took it well. Poke them in the scruff and watch the big bubble form under the skin. Probably 6+ months of doing that per cat. During that period of treatment their activity was "normal" so I felt it was worth it and probably extended their lives with additional quality. Eventually they declined and had to be put down, but that was always expected. I think it gave us the extra 6 months and was only a minor inconvenience. Your miles may vary.

That's what they call "changing consumer habits" and why McDonald's is removing access to their drink machines.

The Harlem Globetrotters spent decades pioneering that entire style of athletic entertainment the ball handling tricks, the showmanship, the dancing, the crowd interaction, and turning the game into a full spectacle. That was Black creativity and excellence at its finest.

...for this clown show version. I’m not sure why there’s zero pushback on this.

Why was it "creative" and "excellent" when blacks did it - but now it's a "clown show" when whites do it? If you were honest, you'd say it was a "clown show" when blacks did it. Or you'd say it's "excellent" when whites do it.

Truth is, you're a racist.

When I think of a pocket knife, I picture my grandpa's Old Timer or something similar. I always generally think of something with a small blade under 2"

I agree with you, although I'm guessing we might be technically wrong. I'm sure that classifies as a "pocket knife" but my personal definition of a pocket knife is similar to yours. I carry something like this (same as my grandfather did):

Small enough to comfortably fit in the top pocket of a dress shirt. Enough to complete the small daily tasks like opening packages, etc. I wouldn't consider this a "weapon".

Larger knifes, like Karmelo's, I would consider potentially dangerous weapons. Still legal pocket knives though.
