    Survivor bias… they incorrectly believe that because they lived that there was no actual danger. Truly, the selfish and self-absorbed generation. :(

      Well ya know I drank really really hard for 40 years, but I didn’t have liver failure.

      Guess there’s no consequences for alcoholism! Guess I can keep drinking forever! I am immortal!

      And THAT is what I imagine my still alcoholic boomer dad must think daily.

        I grew up when drunk driving was legal! I had a van, and was always the designated drunk driver! Cops would stop me and tell me to drive safer in case another cop was arsed to pull me over! Never got busted, and never died!!

        Woke snowflakes today, I tell ya’ !

    That was Gen X. And we have the scars and broken bones and dead friends to prove that it was dangerous. that’s why kids nowadays wear kneepads and helmets.

    You’re welcome

    TikTok and AI are bad for your brain.

        Why does someone who admits to be full of scars due to their stupidity has to insult random strangers by questioning their intelligence?

        I didn’t “admit” or question anything-- and I can’t help but be amused by the hypocrisy of your own comment

            just because you’ve framed false accusations as a question doesn’t validate them, and evading your own hypocrisy doesn’t validate that, either. it doesn’t work for Tucker Carlson, and it doesn’t work for you.

            and this isn’t Fox News
