More bachelor party news. It's in 2 weeks. I heard plans might change but it's doubtful.

Plus the cigar bar expects you to buy because this one you effectively rent out the place and the owner gives the groom a bottle of bourbon.

At least half of us don't smoke anything lmao.

Gen Zer at work came up to me, a near exact middle of Millenial age, and said  "hey youre a boomer right?"



FUUUUUCK

Every generation does it. It's pretty fucking annoying.

I sound like a broken record, but the whole "participation trophy" criticism of millenials completely dismisses that it's the fucking parents (boomers, mostly) pushing for those, not the kids.

The idea that each successive generation of youth is "softer" than the previous generation is hilarious. Don't most parents want their kids to have more opportunities, less struggle, and an easier path to success than they had? Why push the blame down?

Participation trophies have always existed throughout time. They didn't call them participation trophies though. They instead called them campaign medals and ribbons.

Participation trophies are excellent for encouraging engagement. For example, the year is 1999 and your parents spent thousands of dollars on soccer camps and equipment. The leagues wants your kids to sign up again so they give everyone something to take home after the tournament. The trophy has nothing to do with social justice or liberal weakness. The trophy is so the coaches can continue to make money and fuck soccer moms on the weekend.

I don't fully understand the gen z stare either. Ithink it might be an anxiety thing that most will grow out of. I admit about a year ago I totally flatlined when the assistant superintendent wanted to talk to me about baseball. I was wearing a Yankees baseball cap because that is my culture and all.

He actually wanted to talk about baseball and I was trying desperately to remember what I know about baseball (I don't know about baseball or the Yankees.) So I stumbled through that.

I made a mistake when I first started moving my girlfriend into her place in Pennsylvania. I wore the Yankees hat in the neighborhood which instantly told everyone I was a gentrifier from the NYC area.

So I bought an Eagles hat.

I don't know shit about football.
