G650

Good post as always. My main impetus in starting the thread in the first place, other than it's a serious subject and we had mentioned coming back to it after the election, is that I completely admit to being out of touch on most of this stuff, and with a son who is growing up, pretty concerned. I have felt alienated from mainstream America for quite some time, but with this subject it's not really alienation as just some for of bafflement as I feel like I really don't get the motivations of a lot of these kids. It's just completely foreign to me and my experiences. I guess one other thing is the younger guys I do know are not necessarily like this, the have good jobs, starting families etc..., so probably some self selecting deal going on with who I'm around. The one exception is my old neighbor's kid, who is probably 22 or so now, lives at home, not really any plans. But frankly the kid is an idiot so I don't use him as a data point on someone left behind. The internet thing is real for sure. I am astounded at some of the stories here. My son is very much monitored on the internet, and will be till he is grown. Giving a child free reign on the interwebs is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

Y'all haven't lived unless you knew how to decode the Spice channel with a remote on a Tocom box

In news that will surprise no one, their service sucks too.

Come again

I assumed we would slip under Trump, but I didn't expect grammar to go this fast I must confess.

I mean, it's not even that he is gay. You are right about the coastal liberal thing, but as much as a I think he is a good dude and qualified as hell, he is excruciatingly dorky. And I don't say that to hate on him in the least, but go watch that video from 2020 with him and his staff singing High Hopes and it't the most painfully white thing you will ever see.

When we moved last month, we asked my 8 year old son if we should call the new TV room "Den 2". Without missing a beat he said "No, Entertainment 720"

Holy shit

Would you guys quit engaging that wierdo.

Sadly

I mean, I think it's more the case of the 'liberals' will, and not the actual liberals, who have been pretty consistent. I certainly don't consider myself far left by any stretch, but personally I'm not a fan of killing scores of innocent civilians, so I have never had much of an appetite for what's going down as you know. This is even setting aside my antipathy for the Israeli state.

Over what?

Cmon man

Far be it from me to support anything GOP, but ol Ronnie's look is on point in that photo. Those socks and tie are perfect

Literally this. Everything else is just boogie man bullshit.

I read it on a lark as I didn't have much else in the queue, I'd rate it as aight. Didn't really change my thoughts on any of the Van Halen people one way or another.
