Well I admit not going on as many dates as my peers did. Also had a crazy friend convince me to not pay my taxes for a few years. BUT I'm currently married with kids and paid all my (back and current) taxes, probably more than these idiots have in this administration.

I'm sorry RFK, but please don't talk about autism anymore, not sure what makes us autistic but that brain worm definitely decreased your grey matter and filled it with shit lies.

Hold the home button down and that usually wakes up my switch with both my pro controllers

My Ring doorbell like this does connect to my existing power supply for a 'dumb' doorbell. This version shown is a wireless model aimed more at apartments which don't have existing wiring or for a tenant who wants a removable version to take when they move.

I am not not associated with Ring, just a customer.

What this government is showing me is that there already a third party and they're in control. They gave us the two party system so we can point fingers at each other and get tired trying to bring about change.

There is only one rule to follow these days and that's FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Gen 'Xer here too. Most, if not all of my social circle are voting for Trump too. I am mirroring you in saying that I also shared the same life experience as them. What I'm noticing with all social media which is a major part of all our lives is that its a giant echo camber for both sides. Here on lemmy and reddit (yes I know, but I still check in there) we are all leaning left and denouncing him. Meanwhile on the Meta and Twitter I see everyone clamoring about him bring their savior and how evil and wretched Harris and the libs are. Both sides are surprised how close this race is. I see the media profiting on all this chaos and nonsense. We need to fight to get the media out of the control of all these oligarchs, be-it US or foreign interference centers. I think and hope that more and more people are realizing this and this is going to be the start of class warfare. Sad thing is they got all us have-nots battling each other instead of them. So hard to talk with the cultists and veer them away from the Kool aid going around. It's sad and it's going to get dark one way or another.

Anyway preach on and don't give up.

No I'm subscribed to Tom Scott and Project Farm in fact! Unfortunately I feel useful stuff like that is in the minority on YouTube. Try looking at the top videos on a guest account. That's all the crap I'm referring to. A lot of mindless drivel

No I would like to disagree, they went to college for the opportunity to gain more knowledge. Some of them partied, some of them are idiots but in the end college itself doesn't give you experience needed to guarantee it being worthwhile like it used to be 20 years ago. I say this as a guy who got a BS in electrical engineering and no one wanted to hire me out of school since I had no experience except for the college experience of in itself.

Looking at my friends kids who have completed college in the last ten years, I can safely say that 70% of them are worst off than if they didn't go. How did I come to that conclusion? Well they are so riddled with debt it's going to take them at least 10 years, if not more to dig themselves out of that due to the college experience. Are they more educated? I would say yes but their outlook on life is so grim compared to the other kids who didn't go to college and jumped directly working into trades. Those kids I see are happier and doing better in life. Again, this is just from my experiences. True it all depends on the degrees and the person itself but still doesn't change my opinion on thinking college is overrated now.

It seems to rise to the top of YouTube, you have to be a crazed sociopath or just plain idiotic to engage enough people to be able to afford a house. I think college is overrated but still think those that try are better off. Youtubers are not in anyway contributing to the betterment of our world. It's sad how crap content is the driving force for getting monetized.

I had this album when it came out, got into all that trendy chant type of mysic. Delirium being another big one.

What I associate this song with is one of my college professors saying how this album was his go to sex soundtrack with his wife. I stopped listening to the album thereafter.

Amen to that! Described my first ever relationship that ended up with me being celebate for 6 years. I thought that was normal couple behavior at the time and I didn't want a part of that.
