Oh no!

Anyway…

Oh, I never said I would play it well.

I would buy this album.

And I’ll play the harmonica.

Many, many things are what’s called a “perishable skill.” If you don’t use the skill, or a language for that matter, it will atrophy and you will forget how to do it.

Always in exactly 2 minutes early. 5 minutes early always forces me to have awkward small talk with someone, usually the organizer.

2 minutes is great. 30 seconds to get in, 1 minute for mic/sound check, 30 seconds left not long enough to have more small talk than hellos.

According to my research, and a random comment from someone else, we need to clone Harambe.

And then shoot him.

Again.

For the children.

Ah, yes, Republika Srbska. The most dangerous game.

Wait…

It’s beautiful.

It’s horrible.

It’s all of us, and we are ate.

The Linux version of “I went to college ^outside of^ Boston”

No worries, and to be fair, I didn’t know the UN had its own standalone definition that ended at 24 until you mentioned it. So maybe we both learned about the grey area that caught us both up.

Oh, no thank you. I’m good as is.

No, really.

No.

NO!

NOoooooo! Stahp it!

The claim was based on me attending “national youth day” activities with a bunch of guys that seemed way too old, and wondering why, then the same day the radio told me included people to to age 35, “according to the UN.” So the data point stuck like that.

Which makes sense as this was a southern African nation that likely took their definition from South Africa. Which uses the age of 35.

And the UN does recognize variance in the definition of “youth” in local contexts.

So either we’re both wrong, or both right. You pick.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The hardest part of life is the problems you can’t just decapitate with a sword.

I think the UN also counts anyone under 35 as “youth” as well. So there’s a lot of statistics-related terminology to deal with here.

I recently tried using the Google Translate image translator. Totally locked up now, requiring Play Store and Google App. Still didn’t work, but is was seriously just “if you don’t give us everything now, we won’t do basic shit for you.”

Just curious.

It’s not really incorrect, it’s just that it’s only the START of the “Millennial” generation, not the whole thing.

Most people generally consider 1980 as the start (so most 1980 babies are 19 years old on Jan 1, 2000) of the Millennial generation. I’ve seen it as early as 79, and as late as 83 as the start year. No idea why sources vary on this, or why they pick those years instead of 1980. Anyone born in that range might also be called a Xennial, so it’s sort of like if one thing considers you a Millennial, but you have strong Gen X energy, then you can be a Xennial if you feel like it. But No Xennial would want that because we don’t fuck with Gen X like that.

I prefer calling the Xennials the “Oregon Trail” generation, as it implies we all risked having dysentery to survive.

Why is that, anyway?

This is not new, and not because WhatsApp is somehow “untrustworthy.” It’s been banned from most govt desktops for years.

It’s end-to-end encrypted, so it bypasses malware filters. A House staffer can easily be sent a malicious file and spread it around to others before anyone learns the file is malicious.

Yeah, but the other person said the “Harambe Event” so my brain defaulted to Star Wars style use of the Battle of Yavin as the dividing line.

So we could call it Before/After Harambe Event, being the date in May 2016.
