      Addiction’s still around, it just jumped to different things like screen time and gaming. Everything else is getting too expensive to maintain.

      Nah they always bitched. Addicted to the TV. Addicted to video games. Addicted to computers. Addicted to cell phones, etc. The irony being they’re all addicted to their iPads to browse Facebook.

    Marlboro’s didn’t lead us to Fascist takeover and destruction of American democracy. All young Democrats had to do was show up to vote, even after Trump had ripped away safe federally protected Abortions, and they simply could not be bothered. The jokes write themselves.

      I know 5 that have admitted they didn’t vote and I’m pretty sure a few were because they couldn’t vote for a woman as they never really seemed concerned about Palestine. And I don’t use social media so me knowing that many is surprising to me

        THEY DIDN’T FUCKING VOTE. You know who did, young republicans, and more latino and arab americans than have ever voted for a republican candidate in us history before, and they voted for Trump. yeah, i kinda am. free, fair, safe, elections, and Democrat youth couldn’t be bothered to cast a fucking vote. 2.3% made up the difference between saving american democracy and losing it all.

    At least in Germany, numbers are going down. One interpretation is that the kids are too busy with all the devices and have no free hand

    My grandma killed herself by smoking for 60 years. Got stage 4 lung cancer and relied on my mom for 24 hour care for a year before she finally kicked the bucket. I feel no pity for her and I wasn’t even sad when she died. She was an awful woman who used everyone around her until literally the day she died. Played the victim in situations she put herself in and expected others (my mom) to bail her out.
