ok but seriously
how to open PDF??
First, close VIM.
VIM doesn’t support PDFs?
I was joking, but it seems that it can: https://github.com/makerj/vim-pdf
:O
Why you’re asking me to reboot the computer?
I was asking you to buy a new computer, reboot isnt enough
And with the prevalence of cloud syncing nowadays make sure not to even connect the new computer to the internet or you will be back to square one.
I think I could achieve Bankai before I figured out how to close VIM.
Unexpected Bleach.
Let’s not ask the impossible, sir!

Judging by US politics nowadays and their behaviour in regards to both Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the average boomer would’ve sided with the Nazis.
That’s because they collectively have the political intelligence of a concussed pigeon.
They go on and on about freedoms and their freedoms and their freedoms to have guns and in the next sentence endorse Trump a man who if he had his way would invite fascism into the country. Presumably their guns would be taken off them at that point. Since fascism with an armed population rarely works out.
But none of them realize this because that’s like three steps down the line, and they’re still struggling to think about step one.
Concussed pigeon, HAHAHA!
a global generation that won’t be storming any beaches or cities would be a blessing for the world
imagine a generation in russia that just keeps doing what they do instead of listening to an old psychopath in Moscow who decides that it would be “good” to send hundreds of thousands to their deaths to bring death and destruction to millions of others
being peaceful is not a shame!
There is also no shame in fighting to demilitarize a dictatorship or tear down a theocracy, though. Tolerance ends with the Intolerant, I only hope that the Zoomers understand that at least as well as Millennials.
fight will end when everybody refuses to fight, not when people with their noble reasons find justifiable excuses to keep fighting
enemy is not detestable theocracies or sick dictators but thinking that there are enemies
we are one and we should act like one
There will always be someone who wants to fight
you don’t know, you assume
Nah bro, fascists, and theocrats are definitely the fucking enemy.
they are but they aren’t
If only one side chooses fight, then fight will end as well. With rivers flowing with blood of the innocents.
there are no “sides”, just a world full of people with fantasies of innocence and heroism :/
There are people being persecuted right now for no good reason, and if you’re not going to take their side then you’re my enemy.
you are your enemy
Good people can’t kill without shame.
Good people who watch others be killed have just as much if not more shame.
They absolutely do not.
They can think about that in great philosophical detail when it’s them on the chopping block next.
Why wait? They could think about it right now, in all the places it’s blatantly not true.

How much years unending
Slaughters inhumane
On children fall from sky
Bombs as bunch of anger
Tanks’ place is in museums
Let them quietly rust there
Body of mother is scarred
Warriors’ place is in romance
Wars are not glory
Groans in bloody mess
Tears, dirt on uniform
Wars don’t have a place in the world
Tanks’ place is in museums
Let them quietly rust there
In tales of old empires
People don’t belive anymore
“Homo homini lupus est” is what we said when
Voice of reason was silent in world and war raged everywhere
When lives were worthless, people were seen only as soldiers
And entire world was turning to burning hell
Why didn’t we become smarter Isn’t it’s time already
To understand as a matter of fact that more important
For hammer of war to stop clutter
Tanks’ place is in museums
Let them quietly rust there
Even as toys
Kids don’t need to know them
But being naive is sinful.
Yeah but… they seemed to not have realized that it would be THEM being used as cannon fodder. They thought they could just reap the benefits without having to lift a finger. It was going to be “repeal and then replace”, and then once they swallowed that line, it reeled them in when it was too late to pull back.
i.e. they were promised peace - the territorial expansion was only supposed to last 3 days and that hardly counted in their eyes - and did not realize that by having elected Putin, it was already too late.
nobody can imagine Boomers doing anything selfless, and neither can the Boomers
Tough guy posturing.
A lot of boomers dont realize they lost the Vietnam war.
My dad was shocked to learn that the communists won, when I told him a couple years ago.
My dad was shocked to learn that the communists won
Even that is distorted - the Vietnamese people won under incredible hardship. Simple farmers, hundreds of thousands simply refused to bow to imperialist rule. They were helped, but they did the fighting.
But you can also argue that the US did “win” the war or at least their objectives. The objective was to stop the domino effect of socialism and they absolutely brutally devastated Vietnam for many decades. And that was their objective, to punish anyone who dares to redistribute wealth.
Nixon won
Ironically, Vietnam was Baby Boomers’ avocado toast. Their parents were happy to keep shipping their children off to die so that politicians wouldn’t look weak in front of the public. Remember that students were murdered at Kent State over daring to exercise their First Amendment rights.
Somehow those people STILL, as a generation, became gigantic shitbags who destroyed the world for their own personal gratification.
I thought the boomers avocado toast was shrimp cocktail
I actually think that it would be something they grew up with, along with aspic and jello salad.
aspic
Goes good with larks’ tongue
Heard a comedian crack a joke about that. Went something like, “well all the cool Boomers died of drugs or AIDS so now we’re stuck with the hall monitors of the generation.”
Hits a little to hard sometimes lol
A good point. We got stuck with the prudes. Seems to be a trend.

Today’s youth won’t have to land in Normandy to fight Nazis. The battle is raging much closer to home.
USA won, duh, just like they won the war on terror in Afghanistan!
The War Against Terror
We absolutely won the war on terror in Afghanistan.
Osama bin Laden tried to show that he was the scariest terrorist, and the US military took that personally and wasn’t willing to give up the crown. So, for a decade before his death, and a decade after, we spent trillions of dollars to make sure that a bunch of nice, lovely shepherds would shit themselves with fear if they’re at a wedding or funeral and hear the sound of an airplane in the distance.
The goal was to make the most terror right? Did I move the goalposts enough that the US still wins?
The goal was to make the most terror right?
One might even say we were the terrorest
And the war on drugs!
Today’s youth are fighting in Ukraine just fine. She probably thinks it’s character forming, having never once done anything remotely like that herself.
Why do people say zoomers are super liberal?
Look at music now; it’s materialistic and conformity. The punk scene is a minority, rap being about the struggles of life is a minority
Materialism and conformity. Hmm, where have I heard these as the basis of political theory before?
Oh right, Marxism.
wrong materialism
Tell me you don’t know what punk is without telling me you don’t know what punk is.
Explain
Well for one you said it’s a minority, as if that’s a bad thing. When that’s what punk is, a minority art movement that breaks the rules of the establishment. Until it becomes the establishment.
It’s also not just a bunch of kids plinking away at guitars. Look at the PC Music label and hyperpop in general, that’s punk.
Nor does it need to be filled with angst and lyrics with the subtlety of a brick to the bullocks.
Being anti-establishment was cool before, now it’s cool to spend too much money
Ironically that is the most superficial way you can look at things.
Zoomers lean more left than previous generations, in larger quantities and as a percentage, even including increased far-right zoomers as compared to previous generations.
Modern pop music being materialistic and conformist is just the music industry, there’s tons of anticapitalist modern punk if you look for it.
But the “leaning more to the left” comes from “you promised and didn’t deliver so fuck you” place. And it’s not only young people. We’ve been told for decades that “If you work hard you’ll succeed”, you have to defend your country so your country can help you when you need it" and shit like that. But those are lies the upper class tells everyone else.
Well, sure, but I’d say radicalization increasing on both ends is more because of the general decay of Capitalism. As Capitalism gets increasingly fucked, people seek answers, and while the general trend is to the left, there are also more fascists.
That’s actually now true, at least where I live. The girls tend to be more left leaning while the boys tend to be more right leaning.
The difference between genders on political affiliation is small, but present, yes, but overall the trend is to the left.
That’s not really what I mean.
Look I turned 40 a few months ago an a few weeks ago I got a newspaper subscription, somehow I turned into my father…
Anyway, a few days ago I was reading this article and it was about (Dutch) GenZ (I want to say kids but adults is probably also true).
The article was about how the GenZ girls are mostly left and pretty far left. Old people will probably describe them as woke.
But what was pretty interesting (and maybe scary) to me is that a lot of the GenZ boys are pretty conservative. Lots of them follow “alpha male” influencers and lots of them even really like Andrew Tate. They sort of believe in this alpha get money and girls mindset. They have some graphs about other countries, where in south Korea it had the biggest gap between boys on the right and girls on the left.
I just looked it up (my newspaper also can be viewed digitally)
It’s in Dutch but its probably understandable (mannen are males, vrouwen are females).
This is the source but it’s dutch and behind a paywall
This is the head of the image translated
Political gap between young men and women has grown In many countries, young men (18-29) have become more conservative in recent years, while young women have become more progressive. Score: the percentage of progressive minus conservative young adults, based on various long-term studies.
South Korea is actually a pretty major anomaly. A combination of incredible misogyny and a rising incel population has forced women to be far more radical to protect themselves, it’s an extreme reactionary slant.
Overall, though, Gen Z is more to the left. The number of fascists is larger, but the number of moderate right wingers is lower, and the number of moderate left and leftists is higher.
Do you have a source on that? Like to know more
Speaking to Koreans myself, I have a lot of contact with Korean expats. However, this seems to be an okay source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/stark-gender-inequality-south-korea-hostility-feminism-growing-rcna59747
Gen Z more likely to deny climate change than millennials
Less likely to approve the of NFL protests
Same on gay and interracial marriage
The only thing they really differ on is pronouns which Zoomers always swing way conservative on with overwhelming approval
You’re just repeating what I said and misinterpreting the statistics. Gen Z is far more radical on both ends, but the median Gen Z person is more to the left than previous generations. Gen Z is not more conservative overall, just the fringe end is more fascist.
But the stats don’t put them further left than millennials
If we only focus on the left then we have 56 thinking it’s man made for millennials and 54 for Zoomers. So where do you get more left from?
If we say it’s margin of error and they are the same then where do you get more left from?
More radicalization on both ends, like I said. If the average conservative millenial isn’t as insane as the average conservative Gen Z, it can give you the illusion that there are more.
Easy enough.
I see
The Karen generation isn’t as liberal as people think???
Nah, people just hate you and your twisted view of the world. If a zoomer is a Karen then every other generation are Nazis.
LOL imagine calling the gentlest generation of people to be born in human history “Karens”.
Love, a Gen Xer who manages Zoomers and loves them.
More like the forgotten generation. “Gentle” is not the adjective id use.
Can you explain the poofy white afro half of them seem to have? Are there more kids being born with curly hair or are they going out and getting perms?
I really don’t want to see your answer, but as a rhetorical for your own purposes, you should have defined what a “Karen Generation” is. That will mean something different for everyone.
Is this like, taking the power out of the word or something?
More like asking what the heck they are talking about. They don’t specify, it’s just generalized anger.
They probably act like children because most of them are children.
I work with a Zoomer who’s 22. While I agree that 22 year olds are still children, they’re quickly becoming not-children, and a predilection to outrage is not a trait usually associated with children.
22 year olds are not children, this is utterly insane and needs to stop.
Predilection to outrage is not a trait usually associated with children.
Tell me you’ve never been around children without telling me you’ve never been around children before.
LMAO I have two of them.
Neither has anger issues.
Pretty much. Look at most countries around the world. In South East Asia, in the Philippines and Indonesia the Gen Z just reelected their dictators.
That’s because people figured out a formula to make the most widely accessible and profitable music possible. Its a process that isn’t exclusive to music or gen z, and I fail to see how its relevant.
Well we’re also seeing a trend of younger men falling for the manosphere type bullshit. It’s a weird divide. Lots of younger people in general are leaning more into socialism, too. But yeah sweeping generalizations either way aren’t representative of reality
Since when do musical lyrics irrevocably dictate political party affiliation?
This isn’t a binary choice.
By your standards those that listen to country music would actually give a shit about this country and their fellow person while driving trucks and drinking beer. They only get the last two.
They care, just you have different ideas of caring. They think “keeping the bloodlines pure” is caring
The military industrial complex won. People suspect it’s why JFK was assassinated. He was ready to go public with the conspiracy. Nowadays we just accept that the military industrial complex runs shit lol
Nationalize
Exactly. And this generational bullshit is just another stupid distraction.
Yeah, JFK, who started Vietnam and tried his best to provoke a war with the soviets during the Cuban missile crisis, was an enemy of the military industrial complex.
It doesn’t even have to be a conspiracy. It’s just a group of like minded people making a ton of money.
