Here’s another thing that pisses me off. All these Gen-Zers who always love to complain about Gen-X and Millennials. Like I’m sorry, what the fuck have you people done besides eat Tide pods, make TikTok videos, and do stupid YouTube challenges? What have y’all done besides being glued to your phone? I know there’s exceptions to every rule. There’s some good Gen-Z people. And there are problematic Gen-X people. And speaking of Gen X, they should stop complaining too. Because as a millennial, I knew at least some peace before the constant tragedies, the wars, the tech that’s invaded our lives, the lack of privacy that we have since 9/11. We literally went through more shit than any of you ever will. Save for maybe the “greatest generation” with their TWO World Wars and most of them are gone. At least Gen-X had a decade, maybe more of a peaceful life before we came along. Gen-Z never knew what true peace was like as they literally were born into this post 9/11 mess. So they’re used to it. So as far as I’m concerned, both of those generations can go fuck themselves. How’s that for the “Gen-X vs. Gen-Z” debate?

There were more "world war" than jsut these two. We just don't give them these names now.

who made it "official"?

I wonder... The term "world war 1" was given retroactively to "the great war" after world war 2 happened... So I guess whoever gave it that "official" name did it after it had a different name for many many years, and did it after world war 2... Sure a short query in Google gives a semi accurate answer to this.

Most "stand-up comedians" are just in fact above-average looking people with an average sense of humour banking on their pretty privilege.

Are you talking about women comedians? Because if so I agree, I've seen very very few women who are funny.

But when it comes to men, come on, Louis CK, Stavros Halkias, Patrice O'Neal, Gilbert Gottfried, Larry the cable guy (I don't think he's funny but he is or was very popular) made it on looks alone? I don't think you sell a single ticket on looks as a guy (I'm not sure women do either). Most comedians aren't good looking.

Not sure why but that feels like an unpopular opinion around here.

I get that. Back when Angry Birds, Candy Crush, and other mobile games were becoming the new Gold Rush, people like myself had mixed emotions. On the one hand, more people were playing economic, accessible games. On the other hand, they weren't as challenging as, say, Devil May Cry.

Beginning in the Wii/360/PS3 era, modern games ended up evoking similar feelings, with waypoints, aggressive autosaving, lowered difficulty, collectathon open worlds, and QTE's.

Since I rarely play modern games, I've held onto those mixed feelings, but I'm sure there's worthy games that have come out in the last 15 years or so.

I guess those that grew up with the NES have very different expectations for games than those that grew up with the Wii.

Can definitely say that for indie games as I have four indie games that are both in progress and have been completed waiting to play as well as Nintendo still holding up better than the other companies. Sega I lost hope for however (outside of Sonic Racing Crossworlds)

I have an unpopular opinion about that, I don't think what he did was that bad... It wasn't good, but from what I understand he asked if he could jerk off in front of those ladies.

Ok, I think the range from ugly to ordinary looking... Do you think they sell tickets on looks?

Who the fuck approaches a woman and cold asks, "can I jack off in front of you?"

It's an easy question to answer though. These were adults (which by celebrity standards almost qualifies him for sainthood 🤪) they've been turning down advances for at least a decade. I don't really get why it was a problem this time... This was just as #metoo started and he got lumped in with terrible people who drugged and raped women.

To me this doesn't sound that bad, now if they thought they were going to get raped while this was going on then that's a scary situation, it's not easy to know what the victims went through, but it seems very easy to say no.

I live in Sweden, I see non good looking people everyday. I just don't know, I watch a lot of standup comedy, and has for a long time. I can think of about five guys that look good in the profession (that's living or dead). I just don't think that's a factor of who makes it.
