  • My father’s genealogy efforts have brought him into contact with more family, most of which he never would have found without. It has had no effect on his immediate family, and he is a great Dad. Maybe you just coincidentally know people who use it as a crutch to replace their broken family relationships.

    Edit: Do I upvote this because I don’t agree with it?











  • Any steps toward reducing waste should be applauded, even if it’s a drop in the bucket compared to spent jet/container ship fuel. But the bartenders in this article seem to be missing the forest for the trees here. If you’re so hell bent on reducing waste that you don’t want a lemon wedge on your cocktail glass, but still eat beef multiple times a week for instance (the article doesn’t mention what the bartenders diet choices are, but their restaurant employers serve a meat heavy menu), it seems a little hypocritical.




  • I definitely don’t see gen X as anywhere close to boomers. Especially on the Internet. Gen X is much more technically literate than their predecessors.

    Side note: writing the vague generalized names for entire generations makes me want to vomit. Although the majority of boomers definitely do seem to adhere to the “I got mine fuck you and yours” mentality that completely disregards the context that different generations live and grow up in, there were awesome boomers who were anti war, anti capitalist, and down with free love and expression. Just like on the flip side there are shitty right wing millennials and even gen Zers now out there trolling and even believing the vile shit that gets spewed onto social media.
