Generational labels are stupid and do not define people's beliefs - that's really all you need to know

Gen X doesn't start in 61, it starts in 65. The Millennial generation started in 1981, 16 years later. Boomers started in 46 and ended in 64, which is 18 years, not 20... So, I have no clue what point you're trying to make since your start dates don't exist and there's no "side" to choose from.

He probably would have had more fun with the bogo t-shirt sale yesterday

Uhhhh... You don't unless there's "a lot" of 18 year olds born in '45 having kids in '64(for Boomers). And with Gen X, that's a 15 year span... so... how many Gen Xers had Gen X children? It would have had to have been by or before they were 15 if they were born in '65.

Why are you punishing the poor kid?

Gen-X is considered 1965-1980 iirc. There tends to be a 3-5 or so year “blend” in between generations, like, if you’re born in 1983 you may relate to Gen-X on some things and millennials on others.

Hit down on the dpad and select the fishing option.

I bet we’ll find out that the McRib cures COVID.

I want to follow up on this with clarity and expansion as to what I’m talking about: My fiancé’s nephew has to go to Mississippi every summer for a month to be with his crappy parents (he lives with his grandparents), he got back to PA the last week of August, given that my fiancé’s father has major heart issues, her mom wanted to get him tested for COVID shortly after returning since the parents think the pandemic is fake and this was when Mississippi was a major hotspot in the country. So, she tried to set-up a testing appointment to know if her husband should isolate from him, but was told that they won’t test kids under 18 unless they have “definitive symptoms” (wat?). Thankfully he never had it, but wtf. My fiancé’s sister went to either Maine or Vermont, I can’t remember which, for a 2-week trip in mid-August (they live in NJ) - whichever state it was required a negative COVID test before traveling there, however, they were told that kids under 16 didn’t need to be tested, just adults... wut? Lastly, my friend, her husband, and son, all got it in mid-September. Her kid was doing hybrid learning. They got the positive test on a Monday, his last day physically at school was Thursday. When she called the school to alert them, they asked when he was there last, after hearing it was Thursday they responded with something to the extent of “oh, good! If it’s over 72-hours we don’t need to inform anyone per state (or maybe county?) regulations”. My friend is a Republican and Trump supporter but was pretty “wtf?” about that considering the incubation and potential “spread” period. This is Mercer County NJ. My friend is ~36, her husband is ~38, her son is ~12: she couldn’t get out of bed for more than 10-15 minutes without starting to black out for over a week, her husband had a 104-105 fever for 10 straight days, and it dropped to the 101 range for another 7 or so thereafter... her son? Barely had a sore throat for 2-3 days: she told me if they all didn’t get it, she would have thought her son just had seasonal allergies for a couple days. Now, let’s discuss contact tracing, where I’m assuming this data is coming from... in Gov Murphy’s press conference yesterday, he stated and complained about over 70% of people not answering the phone nor returning calls from contact tracers. That’s not even getting into how few people probably have the state COVID app... and this is NJ where people have been mostly compliant, lord knows how much lower this probably is in the rest of the country. Moving on to gyms - it’s being said that they “haven’t been tracing it back to gyms” (not on this forum, that is coming from officials)... but, anecdotally, the majority of people even willing to go to gyms right now are likely those wearing masks begrudgingly and don’t think it’s “that big of a deal”, and, as such, are probably the same people refusing to cooperate with contact tracers - the same may be able to be said about the majority of those sending their kids to school physically. Again, completely anecdotal, but I’d argue those who lean left and are more willing to cooperate with contact tracers are more likely to go out to eat or have a couple friends come over as opposed to going to the gym or physically sending their child to school, thus, it looks like it’s only really spreading from indoor dining. This could be completely wrong, I could be overthinking it - but, from the information available, contact tracing has been politicized, and is potentially operating on incomplete data. I find it difficult to believe that it’s not spreading from/in schools, and that it’s not spreading within gyms.

There’s the not-so talked about issue of states not even testing children unless they have definitive symptoms on top of the fact that children tend to either be asymptotic or barely have symptoms when compared to adults; unless that changed since September.

I’d avoid hooking up an external right now. As @Keyser_Sozementioned, the issues people have been having seem to be centered around external HDDs, where the system either hard crashes or, upon booting out of rest mode, provides an error message that it needs to “rebuild the external drive’s database” (or something) with some people’s PS5’s bricking after the “repair” process completes.

1080p on your PC should be better than OG PS4

No, he’s saying he wants PSN cards, not PS+ cards. PSN cards are the digital currency, PS+ is the subscription for online play

Uhhh... this is actually really good.

Hold for the winter sale

I never watched Rebels or Clone Wars or whatever show she’s in, and I know nothing about the character except her name/look and that she was Anakin’s padawan or something. The episode was one of, if not the, best in the series so far.

Perhaps the people self-reflecting should be from the condescending ones? Perhaps it should be from those who scoffed at the idea that there would even be an attempt by Trump to change the results and name called other users for even having concerns? No? K.

People were screaming that “stupid phrase” because the phrase was really fucking stupid and was clearly wrong. There 100% is a mechanism, that should have never been in question: the question was/should have been “will Trump be able to successfully exploit the mechanisms available to him?” (and this wasn’t just the courts), and everyone who had worries was completely validated by his attempts - Trump not being successful is almost more to do with his and his team’s incompetence. Good faith and normalcies should not be the basis of elections and democracies.

What games do you guys recommend for an 11 year old? Looking at the BF sale, and limiting to $50 max, we were thinking Vader Immortal, Robo Recall Unplugged, and maybe like Thrill of the Fight or Fruit Ninja...? Could also nix two of those in favor of Moss ($30), however then he’ll just have two games to play. Also, we wanted to set it up for him (my fiancé’s nephew), but I know you need a Facebook account for Quest 2 and he doesn’t have one. If we create one for him (his mom said we could) is it going to get flagged as a burner account for Quest? The other option would be to tie it to his mom’s account. Lastly can you buy gift cards for the Oculus store? We don’t want our CCs on file since it’s not ours

I judged for him as the omnipresent Spork.

@SaysWho?could you put those in a spoiler tag so the thread isn’t clogged by it?
