Chaotic neutral

Humanity doesn't seem capable of embracing the good and letting the bad go. There is too much power in destruction and death, and so our thirst for power will end us all.

On a more positive note, we don't yet have the technology to completely eradicate life on Earth, so with any luck we'll just take ourselves out and a super race of cockroaches or ants or something will carry on

I clearly remember they were 68 grams when I was a kid, which always weighed on my mind when I had to choose between a Mars bar and the 78 gram Oh Henry

Seems to go that way Greatest was big, silent was small, boomer was big, X is small, millennials big, Z small, not sure where that leaves Alpha and Beta though, given the birth rates...

I managed to catch the dot com bubble within a year of getting a steady job, got laid off, worked overseas because there was no work where I lived, finally decided to move back and took the mortgage crisis straight in the nads. That was nearly a decade of my employment life that was interrupted/nerfed.

Make no mistake, Gen X has not been well served by the boomers. I'm sure there are greedy fucks in every generation, and the greedy Gen Xers probably got rich earlier and faster than Y and Z, but the systemic shit is a boomer badge to wear.

That's an interesting theory. I am still curious to see if any long term effects are encountered from very young kids not seeing people's faces, by and large, for about two years or so. There was a lot of talk about that, just not sure if it will amount to anything noteworthy
