Date: July 6th, 2026 11:26 AM Author: Bronze doctorate I thought this was one of those AI-generated clickbaits, but it's a quality media brand clickbait instead.
The generational problem with Gen X is that America turned into an Asian striver culture while they were in their late 20s and 30s, when it was too late for them to Asian-ify their resumes and educational histories. |

Date: July 6th, 2026 1:57 PM Author: mauve community account roommate It seemed like the vibe pre-ITE was that a Normal Bro could just be Normal and not fall into peril. Like the long tail of institutional boomerism. There were people on the internet who argued that your major in college “doesn’t matter,” in earnest. I can’t even imagine that world now. Now it seems like you’re shut out of society if you don’t ace OCI. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5880028&forum_id=2ГѓЖ’#49981780) |

Date: July 6th, 2026 7:00 PM Author: Bronze doctorate That was precisely it. Their TV growing up was all blue collar types, or non-STEM white collars, with houses and families. Only two races: black and white. Anyone else was portrayed as a weird mysterious old man. If the economy got bad you might get laid off and have to live off of unemployment for an unpleasant 6-8 weeks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5880028&forum_id=2ГѓЖ’#49982422) |

Specifically Speedy Gonzalez and when Bugs Bunny would dress up as Chiquita Banana. Boomers censored all the Bugs nips the Nips content from the 40s, unfortunately or they might’ve been more knowledgeable about Asians.

But now I'm looking at a non c level gig that is largely autonomous and auto pilot level of difficulty for me. So maybe my squishy gen allocation properties is letting loserdom catch up and grab me |
