Pat Riot

And the thread goes off into the sunset of a Saloon ricochet…

Police are required to render aid. Civilians are not. Perhaps I am cynical, but I think the requirement to render aid is one of three things: 1. Preserve the life of a potential taxpayer. 2. Preserve the life of a person that could potentially help justify jobs in the areas of justice and law enforcement. 3. Liability - It shows that the police tried to do the right thing in the hopes of staving off lawsuits. As for me, it would completely depend on the situation. I would definitely call for police and EMS. I may or may not render aid myself.

They name the generations for psychological and social study. They look at trends and characteristics of the groups in general.

I can recall a lesson on generations back in middle school and our teacher telling us that we were “Baby Boomers”. I was surprised that Baby Boomers consisted of the longest span of time. It was like that until I saw that site I posted above.

I worked with people from all over the world for over 30 years. Many tried really hard to understand and speak American English properly and many did not. Of those that didn’t it almost seemed like they got to a point where they spoke and understood just enough to get by. Most of these people were Vietnamese or Chinese, but many were also Eastern Europeans. One of the biggest pitfalls for people learning American English was Slang. Another thing that baffled them was Sarcasm and mannerisms in our communication. This was especially hard for Germans and Eastern Europeans I have known. Many of the Asians I worked with often did not register confusion but wouldn’t say anything. If they were confused or didn’t understand they wouldn’t say anything. I had to learn to not use slang but more importantly I learned to ask them if they understood what I wanted or needed. Nearly all of the younger, under 30, people I dealt with who came from another country were eager to learn slang, mannerisms and even sarcasm. Most over 30 did not.

@Rye Miles #13621 When I read the title my first thought was “Da**it! Someone shot Keanu Reeves?” Yes, he is a very good shooter. I watched a couple videos of him at 3 Gun matches.

I was messing around looking for memes when I came across this description of the generations. In this description it mentions that there are 2 different “Boomer” generations, Boomers 1 and Boomers 2. I have never heard of this. Has anyone else? https://www.brandvm.com/post/generations-by-year-2025 Personally, I never fell into the description of “Boomer”. I still don’t. It’s just another label.

I did.

Exactly.

I have tattoos. They’re my tattoos. They’re not for you or your judgment. Shove your judgment. Not kidding. @Alpo here’s a pain chart for you. image from: https://acidcow.com/pics/169812-useful-survival-tips-23-pics.html

I want one…

I can think of some other plagues that need eradication.

Please don’t make this political. Jees!

Perhaps the episodes with sword play were lost in space. I’ll show myself out now…

More perks of the fine system provided. You’ll get used to it.

It’s hard to find a reliable safe because of what I said above. They don’t do it as a public service. They do it to make money on YouTube.
