  • my guess is its about the seemingly congressional act stopped by an individual. Of course you sorta have to ignore that it was tik tok that shut itself down given the legislation was about us app store providing it. I give a certain amount of slack for the cartoon given its sorta a common man outlook. It is not exactly anything im worried about when it comes to trump outside of the whole way he has made an untraceable bribe pipeline for himself which might have been utilized even though theoretically he should not have any power as president to effect the congressional act outside of bully pulpit. Although that bully pulpit is plenty powerful especially given the current congressional makeup and that way that party works.


  • It is funny to me the amount of folks that talk about other social media here. Its like, dudes, I came here to get away from that crap. I have more than enough unfortunate engagement in it due to family/career that I keep as minimal as possible. I did post this comic though which is talking about tic toc. Although I have never been on tic tock myself but I have seen it on youtube and the news.





  • This gave me a bit of a chuckle the first time I saw it expressed on the internet as a notion. It is annoying though as I like to hang out in the internet like I might at a friends basement in high school but others want it to be like we are actual members of congress trying to get something done. Or at least act like we might like them to act to seriously do their job.








  • Your still limited in your distribution and there are tradeoffs. So you will not be able to do 20 stat checks for all stats and you will not have access to level 20 perks but its a pretty small amount of stuff. So its possible but its not like the generalist can do everything a min maxer can do in their maxed stats. Its pretty generous though so if you have the dlc you can max 3 out of 5 stats and off the two that are left you can nearly max one of those so even min maxing is really just a matter of identifying a dump stat. I like the generalist build though. I find I can do any playstyle really with 15 in each stat rather than 20 and again its just missing a level 20 checks (with the dlc one stat can even still be 20) and perks that I kinda consider to be overkill in most cases.



  • X as a population is a birth low like the silent generation and since both are adjacent to the baby boom, which is one of the largest generations, their relative pull during their time is muted. basically the silent generation was sorta crowded out by the large incoming one and Xers were to small to effect the new crowd size much. Then also millenials are technically a boom but really just a drop in the bucket compared to the baby boom before. They are the little peak in the early 90’s in this graph where the orange is the boom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boom#/media/File:US_Birth_Rates.svg . Combined with this is that X was known as the slackers and they were not big joiners. Don’t get me wrong im in the gen and I know plenty of folks that do things in their lives like reduce, reuse, recycle but not many part of an org or something around it (not all good things btw of course but im giving the perspective of my crowd). It still sorta cracks me up as I live near my high school and they put all the accomplishments along the fence and it starts in like the 60’s. Newer ones are in the school but as new ones come in the old ones are hung on the outside fence. Well there is this big gap in the 80’s. literally stuff into the late 70’s and then suddenly stuff from the early 90’s. No club or sport or anything got any significant win or award or whatevr in the 80’s.
