Is there such a thing as Indian Buffet for Dinner anymore? Havali in Tustin used to have it for dinner, but they closed a while back.

Plenty of lunch buffet. Looking for Dinner.

I’ll start

Potato Skins

Icee Jucee frozen triangle things

Push pops

Sloppy Joes

Reggie Candy Bar

Fruit Rolls

Salisbury Steak

Slush Puppy

Shrimp Louis Salad

Monte Cristo sandwiches

What is something that used to occur or that we did, that you told a younger generation and they were blown away? I’ll start

Happy hour gave out free food. You could go to any place and they would have free food for you during happy hour and they changed what they served every day.

I told a 20 something this and she must have asked for clarification 3 times, “You mean the food was free? “

I do not think SignalRGB can map the Corsair mouse buttons.

I really dont want to run iQue all the time. But is it really no nig deal to run it with Signal RGB? Can you turn off all the RGB functions so that it pretty "lightweight" when running and use it jsut to map the mouse buttons?

Are there alternatives that people have used like this

Anyone confirmed functionality?

Many Gen Xers are struggling with unemployment right now, and this retirement statistic hit me hard.

Gen X is generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980, which means the oldest Gen Xers are now around 60 and the youngest are in their mid-40s. Many of us are in that difficult window where we are considered “experienced,” but also know age can become a real factor in getting hired.

According to the 2026 EBRI Retirement Confidence Survey, nearly half of retirees, 46%, retired earlier than they planned. Of those, 76% said it was because of circumstances outside their control, such as health problems, layoffs, disability, or changes at work.

That matters for Gen X because many are planning to work longer to close retirement gaps. Transamerica found that fewer than 1 in 5 Gen X workers are very confident they will be able to fully retire comfortably, and 39% expect to retire at 70 or older or not retire at all.

So when people say, “Just work longer,” that may not be realistic for everyone. A lot of retirements are not fully voluntary. For many, the job market, health, or company decisions make the decision for them.

For those of you who are estranged from your parents, or have a strained relationship with them, do you think the way they raised us contributed to where things stand now?

Before I criticize my parents, I do want to give them credit. Because they left me alone so much while they were working, I learned how to be alone. I had to entertain myself, figure things out, and become self-reliant. They lived very frugally, and seeing that made me want a different life, which gave me drive. They also were not always supportive of everything I did. They pointed out flaws and made me aware of how others might react or perceive things. Some of that was hard, but I can see how it shaped me in useful ways.

At the same time, I look at a lot of parents today and see a very different approach. There seems to be so much more care, concern, and emotional support. Parents are much more willing to jump in, help, reassure, and make sure their kids feel accepted no matter what.

Recently, some Gen X friends of mine bought their adult sonin law and daughter an “average” house in Southern California. In that area, average is around $1 million. He has not been able to find work, and he isn't really skilled she does not work, and they recently had two kids. They are typical millennials with champagne tastes. They had moved out of state because there was no realistic way for them to afford living in Southern California. But she was calling every night crying about how much she hated being out of state, so the parents stepped in and bought them a house.

I am not expecting my parents to buy me a house or even give me money. That is not really the point. But I am unemployed right now, and there is no emotional support either. Like a lot of Gen Xers, I feel like I am completely on my own. I'll admit I'm a bit jealous and envious. I wish they were my parents. Just like we have traits as a group, our parents' generation may have common traits too?

So I guess what I am wondering is this: do you think the way our parents raised us, even if they did the best they could with the knowledge and resources they had at the time, carries over into our adult relationships with them? And do you think that lack of emotional support is part of why some of us feel distant from them now?

After most of my life with a great career, accomplishments, etc. I find myself unemployed and as a Senior Sales leader it’s been really difficult to find a job. It’s been months and I’ve never struggled like this. As a Gen X er, I remember always being tough, facing insurmountable odds, getting up when being knocked down.

As a Gen Xer I learned not to have a victim mentality. People try to tell me with advice but it rings hollow.

People say ageism is real. But I know plenty of people my age and older that are not unemployed.

When I don’t get a job after going 7 interviews because they pause the requisition, people say “that job wasn’t a good match and something better is waiting for you”. This is so hard to believe.

Yes, millions are unemployed, but exponentially more millions are not. It’s hard to not let this impact your self esteem.

The only thing that seems to counterbalance some of these platitude is that many who are employed say they are miserable, or living in fear waiting to be laid off or fired any day. Financial planners have also told me that upwards of 50 percent of their retired clients , didn’t choose it.

For those of you unemployed, I am so sorry. I really understand. I know what you are going through.

I've enjoyed this group and the friendship shown through the posts.

Are there other subreddits (groups on Reddit) you would recommend that you enjoy and have like minded people? By like minded I mean:

• Older people like us as Reddit seems to be dominated with younger people. This is probably the most important one. I don't mind younger people, but they seem to have more of an issue with older people.
• Not really looking to DM people as Its rare that people continue to do that and maintain friendships through that
• I enjoy engaging and seeing friendships evolve through posts
• Not looking to hookup with people and suspicious of people that post pictures or ask just to DM . I am wary that these are catfishing attempts.

Rather than DMing only or requesting friends, was hopeful be could share our stories and be friends here. Any of you have to “start over”. Are you better off now that you did? Anyone going through it now and not feeling good about it .

I’ve had high level career and always successful. Never worried about losing my job. Then it happened to me and it’s been horrible. Feel like I may never get my trajectory going and have to start over.

For those that use light points , it would,be nice if you would let people try a paid effect for 10 minutes or so. It’s hard to judge how they will look on your videos.

Also, being able to sort by release date would be great. And when you click on an effect and go back, you got to start all over again from the beginning as it doesn’t save where you were last.

I believe you would sell more effects if you made these simple changes. Also videos shorts on effects. Not just game integrations. Have someone describing it and the inspiration, etc.

I hear that "Ageism is real" so often. I know people are trying to be supportive when they say this.

Its difficult to for me to find comfort in this as I see and interact with a lot of people in my age group or even older that are employed. Unemployment statistics (which are not always accurate ) indicate that there is not a meaningful greater number of people in this group that are unemployed.

Its really difficult not turning this inward on yourself.

I find that in the USA, as you age you are treated worse and worse as you get older. Employers start thinking of ways to get rid of you, people start distancing themselves, younger people are more disrespectful.

Is it better in other countries? As you get older are you treated better and better? Or is this the same in every country?

If you have been laid off, and struggling to find work, especially if you were in leadership position, I would love to connect. It’s hard to find people who understand this. I feel like I am one of the only ones , so it would be nice to know that it’s not just me. Would love to start a group of people that can support each other.

Also wondering if it’s the men that take this harder than women?

Anyone have the 8.8 Universal Screen and using with Signal RGB? Can you send pictures or video of it in use. Trying to determine whether or not to get this device. Want to be inspired by you!

Anyone know the manufacturer and model number of the RGB device in the bottom left hand corner of the pc case. The screen and not the triangles. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1456465006519595
