There is currently a completely understandable sentiment among gen z that millennials, collectively speaking, hate their parents and blame them for a lot of stuff. This was not at all the case in the 90s and even early 2000s. What gen z is witnessing is the result of the growing animosity that millennials have had toward boomers starting around the financial crisis in the late 2000s.

The 90s was extremely respectful and grateful towards boomer culture. Grunge music was basically a revival of the 60s hippie era, just with less hopeless idealism an naivety. Gen Z grew up thinking that big music festivals were always a thing, while they did exist in the post woodstock era, they saw a major resurgence in the 90s with woodstock 94/99, which people for some reason now think were disasters but I remember very clearly at the time were thought of pretty highly. There were the expected issues people had with the commercialization of the festival, but the only people that seemed to focus entirely on the destruction and sexual assaults was the media. The whole "woodstock 94/99 were disasters" thing is total historical revisionism.

The whole "ok boomer" thing was not even remotely a big cultural thing back then. People obviously had issues with their parents as they always do, but it was not in any way this big cultural thing. Climate change was only really talked about in educated circles, there was significant economic prosperity with the dot com boom, there was like 1 noteworthy mass shooting, the crime wave of the crack epidemic began to significantly decline, the gulf war was a major military victory, no one ever talked about israel...... no one was really sitting around blaming boomers in any serious capacity for anything. Gen x thought they were lame and out of touch, but that's all it was they didn't villianize them to any serious degree.

then came the financial crisis, inaction on the debt, the climate change debate, skyrocketing cost of housing and cost of living comparative to wages... all sorts of shit.

so don't do the "LOL everyone hates their parents", the record is very clear and documented that this has been a recent thing

does virginia have a strong kung fu culture?

The ages kind of match up, my father was born in 1952 and Steven was born in 1948. My father was originally from Claremont New Hampshire, and apparently they hung out at Sunapee or something together. I don't think they were close friends, more like acquaintances or whatever.

What I can say definitively is that myself I grew up with Martin Johnson from "boys like girls" and wasn't friends with him, but we were in the same grade from elementary school to high school graduation. Taylor swift according to some reports wrote "love story" about him.. which is all kinds of weird if it is true.

So if the first part is true, in some very infinitely small "butterfly effect" way Aerosmith personally influenced Taylor Swift's career. Thank you for your time.

It seems like there is little to no difference between gen z and alpha based on the limited amount I know about gen alpha.

I think what may be happening is that the whole "new generation exactly every 10-15 years" thing is proven to be complete bullshit

Boomers 1946-1955

Gen X 1960-1980

Millennials as kind of an offshoot of Gen X 1980-1990

Gen Z 1995-2030s

Unless your parents make over 200k a year you don't have to pay for a lot of elite colleges nowadays.

With the rise of the alt right online and the obsession by certain groups with IQ, I've done a lot of thinking about the SAT.

I just had a major epiphany after reading a bunch of sample questions. It basically explains why I scored almost 300 points higher after taking a SAT prep course (and not really even paying attention) vs the first time I took the test.

The SAT is so awkwardly written you literally need to train yourself to read it properly.

In defense of the test though, they often need to cram an incredible amount of information in a very small character limit. I actually think that goes for most tests actually now that I think about it.

Rank 2 and 1 procs for the 2 different rank bouquets:

RANK 2 HERB BOQ XX0XXXXXXX0X0XXX0X0XX0XX0XX000XX0X0X0XXXXXXXXXXX00XX0X

RANK 1 HERB BOQ XXX0XX00X00XX0X00XX00X0000000XXX0X0X0000

proc chance of at least 1 rank 2 herb

• Rank 2 bouquet: 38/54 = 70.37%
• Rank 1 bouquet: 17/40 = 42.50%

Seems reasonably conclusive to me at this point.

original thread where I got flamed for my obviously incorrect assumption:

https://www.reddit.com/r/woweconomy/comments/1vo6klf/im_pretty_sure_rank_2_bouquet_of_herbs_gives_more/

Since Blizzard likes even numbers, I think it's possible it's a 75% proc chance for rank 2 bouquets and a 50% for rank 1..

Honest question. Please keep the communism to a minimum in this thread thank you.

Would we have medicare for all and a minimum wage above $0.10 an hour? Would it be illegal for your boss to whip you for insubordination? Would the average person be able to afford a non bug based diet?

Honestly the thought it is so ludicrous I'm having difficulty imagining it.

don't believe anything you've read or heard the following is the truth

-neanderthals are a hoax and pseudoscience

-everyone in the past wasn't a dwarf, humans 200,000 years ago were the same height as they are now for the most part

-the ideal human height for everything but literally apple picking is average height

-the body best performs athletically at average height or close to it

-body systems do not scale well with taller heights, including the hormonal systems that control genitalia size. Meaning very tall guys actually statistically have smaller dongs because there is less test/body size ratio

-apex predators are never the tallest lankiest animals

-the average height for special forces is average height

-the best NFL running backs are all average height or shorter, It's impossible to be a good running back at the NFL level and taller than 6'3"

"this says a lot about average height" people will say. What I'm saying is that if you are 5'4" you are like 10% off the ideal height not 25% People are under the delusion that guys over 6' have better genes. They don't. The body performs worse at literally every meaningful metric the taller you get beyond average height.

So are short guys at a disadvantage? Yeah but it's not really a significant disadvantage except for in the minds of idiots..

selling decor at the lowest price on any server, the going price for lumber is consistently about 150-200ish gold per unit of lumber with most decor items

when you add that value of lumber to gathering it's competitive gph with most other activities

all blizzard has done is removed gathering as a defacto raw gold farm
