CHAT THREAD 60: Posted From Stolen Land

[Deacsfan27]

As someone w/mild astigmatism, I fucking get it lol. There are some really weirdly lit sections of 85 that are pretty terrible to drive at night.

We're driving to Winston tonight and I also have issues with (what I guess is) an astigmatism. I didn't ever think about it, but like 5 years ago I was telling somebody about how terrible it was to drive at night because every light looks like it's split in four directions and blurry, and they were like "bro what are you talking about, that's not normal".

I always thought that was just what driving at night was.

first i heard that; i feel like i've read lots of think pieces using "millennials and gen Y" but i'm always wrong about lots of things

TYPICAL MILLENIAL BS!!!

man RJ was such a turd. Dropping millennial as a peak insult, like stop it you are embarrassing

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

alpha how though?

 

[Kory]

I've read the first quarter or so of Gravity's Rainbow like 4 separate times I think

 

[DeaconSoDear]

We separate older/younger millennials for a lot of our reporting. But also combine millennial and gen z for other stuff. Just gotta fit the narrative.

I really like the Xenniel designation as a micro generation between Gen x and millennials born in the late 70s and early 80s.

who bought you GR? @RedSoxFaithful

yeah i kinda thought Millennial was like 81-89 and Y was 90-99

I bought it myself! you kept talking about Pynchon and it sounded cool so I grabbed it on a whim

 

[deachus]

if I am trying to get back into reading after not doing it for a few years i should pick up gravity's rainbow too, right?

 

[WindyCityDeac]

X really has gotten a lot of work in the last couple of decades. There was no Gen W - we just jumped in at X, then Y, then Z, now Alpha.

let's name them after hurricanes. this is generation ALBERTO

Superlike

Why is it that the lower FM stations are exclusively scratchy hard to hear classical music? I wonder who listens to that.

i use apple classical now, but i haver certainly tuned into WDAV 89.9 in the past

Stonehill hosts the ARMED FORCES tonight. Only a 35 minute drive for me to get down there to what appears to be the shittiest D1 gym I've ever seen. We will not be attending.

I had to look up a photo of this place and I'm 99% certain my high school's gym is bigger

I can barely see shit driving at night because of my astigmatism. Just a bunch of blurry ass stars crowding the roads

this week's episode is sponsored by kory's turn tabling circus of mayhem

Two turn tables and a microphallis?

 

[deaconson]

probably has something to do with FCC frequency management from the 20s onward
