    The math doesn’t work out.

    We should all remember that if the children are more like fatty, they too can experience wage growth which outstrips the rising cost of hamburgers and thereby achieve happiness.

    the thing I was making light of is that you did so while quoting a comment that contains obviously bullshit totally not objective data

    man I hope that one comes through. i'm frustrated for you on that process

    I think the American Professional II line is the modern successor to the old American Standard line. Here’s the AS strat my dad indulged 13 year old me with 26 years ago - do it

    are you under the impression that the cost of a burger relative to how much money you make personally over time is the conversation that we're having?

    I'd be interested in seeing the data on that. I'm sure you could slice it in a way to draw that conclusion but I doubt doing so would reflect an understanding of the data. For example, you could point to quickly rising wages at the bottom of the job market, but you would have to ignore the stagnation of those wages for the previous twenty years, and then use that to try and tell middle class people that they're spending less than ever on food? I don't believe it. Of course this is again sidestepping the core issues facing young people when it comes to getting an education and laying a foundation in their adult lives. *edit* - it is possible that I entirely misread your response to fatty. i read that as you suggesting that people are simple for *feeling* like things have gotten expensive when, as fatty seemingly suggests, relative to wage growth they have not

    Hard to pull the trigger when your fingers are covered in ranch and fry sauce

    Also wages have not gone up by 300% in 10 years - numbers can be tricky and deceptive

    The people who are mad about the price of a burger are dumb boomers. Housing, education, healthcare. Childcare. Housing.

    Also, while they were fucked up particularly and specifically by covid and while social media isn’t helping, the things that make them despair about the present and future are real and worthy of despair.

    Maybe we should dive into that in this thread.

    if $16 for a bag of shitty burgers is good does that mean the boomers were right?

    And the 1000 sf homes from the 50s are still out of reach

    The wedding thing is such a good example of a bad example. The wedding industrial complex is ridiculous but ultimately I don’t think anybody gives a shit, it’s not driving genZ sadness. Housing, healthcare, climate, income inequality, reproductive rights, the death of the American Dream, and the worst generation just won’t let go.

    Ok in spirit I’m with you but huh? Starts at 45k?

    Good dialog on the mental health stuff. The “depression isn’t real” and “back in my day” people need to shut the fuck up, but having a bad day isn’t a syndrome. There’s some mom stuff (i suppose dad stuff too although I’ve only seen it with moms) that borders on munchausen with this shit. “Neurospicy”.

    ok yeah that's for sure it, and wouldn't be the guitar I'm remembering staring at in 7th grade
  22. Celery Man
    I think I remember staring at it in the guitar center catalogs from the late 90s. Maybe a weird epiphone, or even… Ibanez?
  23. Celery Man
    What is this guitar

    The picture of him as a little kid with the Jackson is peak scene kid stuff, and is hilarious and awesome given what he is now

    I don’t know if it’s a term people still use for the modern incarnation of it, but generally kids who were all in with the hardcore, post hardcore, and emo subculture stuff in the 00s and early teens. Particularly the dyed hair, swoop haircuts, etc https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_(subculture) Or, every single kid at warped tour. Or, all of my old band’s fans.
