This fact alone has no significant bearing on it.

That’s a good point. My wife has an extensive audio CD collection. There’s something to be said for “owning” that music. But if she does, I will be keeping that collection on some other long-lived media instead that consumes less physical space.
I’m skeptical any time one of these “oldest person” claims comes up. But in this case they would have had to have had her daughter’s birth wrong too, since Elizabeth was unlikely to have had her at much younger than 19.
Refreshing to read a post about someone with friends for a change.
I don’t know if you realize it, but each “generation” is actually a group of diverse individuals with their own character traits and behaviors. Demographers strain to lump them together with some attributes that are more common for them than for other groups. That certainly doesn’t make them a monolith.
Tarring all members of a group as the same, especially when their membership in that group is due to an accident of birth, would be considered bigotry in enlightened circles. Wishing them dead is much worse.

My parents went through this when their parents died in the early 2000s. This is an old people vs young people thing. Let’s see what millennials accumulate as they go senile.
That’s all fine and good until someone comes along with a 9mm cube.
Out here asking the real questions…
If I have a personal item only, then I will board last or last of my group. I’ll have plenty of time in that airplane seat during the flight.
The cause of line-cutting is limited overhead space and charges for checked bags. No one wants to cram into economy class seats early. They want to beat out the other cattle for overhead space. They need the space because they have a giant carry-on with their clothes for a week to avoid checked bag fees.
The airlines used to load the back of the plane first, but now they sell the rights to get on the plane early to frequent flyers and business class.
They’re also primarily targeting non-military vessels.
Archimedes was better known for bath thoughts.
¿Por qué no los dos?
I fulfill various contracts put out for my industry. They pay very well but involve great risk and can be taxing on the soul. I just keep telling myself these were bad guys, and if I didn’t get to them, someone else would’ve eventually. And I draw the line at women and children.
Yes, his name is Trump.
There are lots of good answers in the comments from people on your block list, OP.
That’s cute. Hezbollah has been raining rockets down on Israel periodically for years, but this escalated after Oct 7. Israel is attacking Lebanon because of Hezbollah’s actions, not Hamas.
No, that can’t be right, because half the comments here say it’s due to racism. So if a Puerto Rican moves to a US state, they still can’t vote, right?
