    This is why I cannot dislike the 67 meme. I don’t actively like it or anything but we have our own funny number and there were 42 as well and 21 for a while.

    There are definitely things to criticize about the new generation, I am not denying that, but finding a number amusing is too inoffensive for me to care.

    As a dad who tries to connect with his kids, I made a 67 reference last week. Their response: “Oh Dad, 67 is old now.” Kids these days can’t even commit to the bit. 🤣

    There is a point where random noises become a song. Disposability of culture is, to my eye, a novelty that hasn’t yet reached the point of becoming a song. It’s just random noises, and I want to silence them with a heavy pipe to the throat

    Could say the same for:

    Politics.

    Religion.

    Ethnic groups.

    Sport teams.

    Cola preference.

    Cutting some bits off your genitals or not.

    Operaring systems.

    Humans are a hoot, huh?

      Politics at its root is ideals about how to structure society though. It does, however, devolve into a team sports mentality in a lot of cases, which is I think what you’re getting at.

        Yea, several of those things have actual qualitative and quantitative measurements on which they can be compared, but far be it from the common dingdong to think in such lofty terms…

      Wait, who the hell is pro genital mutilation!?

      … Oh wait, Jews do circumcision… siiiiigghhhh

      (I’m also aware some areas of India/middle east do FGM too, but I don’t remember if it’s for anything close to religous reasons)
