If this is the F word it's not very accurate. We don't have enough money to support a family.

I'm struggling a little to understand Biden's appeal unless you just love him sniffing Pepe The Frog or something.

Why do people like Guns N Roses? Because they already know about them.

Used to be. That's changing via the Internet.

Nah it's the smart phones, the use of social media, the alienation, the general lack of IRL social skills. Imo.

Nobody I know ever had to be financially stable to get laid. Maybe to find a long term mate and settle down. But again, that was the last thing on a 20 year olds mind when I was younger.

Don't forget TV and video games. Generations of kids who spent their time in front of a TV rather than socializing does not increase ****ability.

Nah, those stereotypes are not true.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

Not even talking about violent TV or video games. That's boomer fear mongering. Just the general trend of kids staying inside rather than being outside with other people. With many kids the effect might be minimal, but with kids who are prone to isolation I'm sure it's a multiplier.

It's all relevant but TV and video games have been around since before I was born. Yet when I was in high school you still mostly had to learn how to socialize irl. By the time I was 20 Myspace and Facebook were just new avenues to meet women but it wasn't like you learned how to socialize from these platforms. Now we're dealing with a generation that grows up in an era where face to face socializing is less common than the electronic form. So maybe they don't exactly know what to say or do irl approaching a girl. And things like tinder don't exactly help as a replacement.
