The Lonely Birthday…

I originally posted this a year ago, as I was approaching my 34th. My 3 1/2 decades is quickly approaching. I mocked this “Happy Birthday to Yourself”  from an “autism parent” from the mid 2010s who posted a still photo of their autistic daughter alone on a birthday. If an autism parent can do it, why can I since I have the condition?

L&R Hour: Steven Does a Live Reaction to an apparent pro-male feminist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwcEZKqnyJ0&t

A frequent caller had dropped the name Liz Plank into Steven’s brain on the November 30th episode. Steven had only little knowledge of that individual to much of his chagrin was pretty shocking to his views of himself. Steven missed her “progressive” views in midst of this cut down edit. Cuts used was an appearance on The Rising in 2019, a TEDx appearance, as well as a piece for Bloomberg digital platform. Also the Media Composer was a diva so there is more jump cuts in this clip.

I admit… I misunderstood Generation X

Knowing a lot of people even though I am quirky… years later I am now confessing how I misread Generation X. My executive summary of said generation was for many years…

The stereotypical “latchkey generation” the generation of toughness, resiliency, throw the toys literally upon turning 18, but get rebellious in their 20s, return to adulthood by the 30s. Massive consumption of MTV when it aired music. They related to their real-personas when The Real World aired on the same said network. They created the first wave of the dot-coms and the related technologies.

 

Now I stand corrected and now my executive summary is this:

These people, roughly 50 to 60 million Americans live in the past, 1980s and their Silent Generation parents from the 1950s. They believed in the spirit of civil rights, but assumed we lived in a post divided culture. Despite said generation being the creators of the first wave of the Web and related technologies, they are in the minority, many GenXers are scared of technology, they are scared of science, history and other skillsets because many didn’t go or finish college. As they age, they brag about their pride of simplicity, admiring it as if it’s the present. They are “raw” in personality and language over being “real”.  They insult Millennials of acting immature, but Gen X are the most commonly aged people known as having “Karen moments” that makes for good YouTube porn. They have entitlements their kids are going to be happy and healthy, and when they don’t, they blame Big Pharma and refuse to accept neurological differences of their autistic children. They refuse to admit they are overprotecting their offsprings to such an obscene level. Gen Z is blamed for everything second to Millennials, but whose the real grown up?

Lastly I would end with

People of Generation X age appeared to be the average groups of people creating criminal acts on the 6th day after the New Year at The Capital basically canceling out maturity, emotional intelligence and extreme, but malignant narcissism – an extreme that can’t be defined in the Boomers and Millennials combined.

This is going to be long 40 to 50 years as the loudest minority continue to make ruckus to civic engagement. You want to rather live under a rock instead.

Is Gen Z’s At Fault for Feeling Isolated by Culture and Tech?

Gen Z (the folks born after 1995) are totally connected than any other generation before, even if they are not technically ept in terms of the components of computing, networking etc.

This is also the same generation that has a higher suicide rate than previous generations, and despite their parents (the infamous GenXers whose pride was adulting at an earlier age); GenZers are not driving or getting a car right at 16.

GenZers are also exposed to the same GenXers, the same parents who are the Karen-types; and this generation are extremely overprotective. These people are anti-progressives, they are anti maskers, anti vaxxers, anti science, and anti anything after 1989.

Post-Strange-States Election Day

There was some state level elections yesterday in states who think they can be like cities and run local elections on odd ears. Regardless I know what’s going on, and I carry on. It reminds me of 2010 when the Tea Party made their first rounds in politics. As I recall those days, anyone who felt they could get involved, even if they weren’t even qualified to be in office, could get elected. Thank you Ted Cruz and other airheads who from that era started to not make “a revolution” but a serious regression of trivializing politics to become a high school clique network.

That is the lone reason why I do not give The Tea Party any respect, not because they are “racists”, because they got elected on single-policies, with empty results. 

While at the same time the start of 2021, CRT may meant Cathode Ray Tube, though by September, it had a second meaning, Critical Race Theory. I am not going to go into specifics if CRT is good or bad, I think certain ideals should be taken several looks before reacting. The Karens (or should I say “Mama Bears”), and I am quoting ones who appeared on FNC! Loudion County is yet the epicenter of outrage from these mama and papa bears who are overprotecting their kid’s intelligence based on heresy and fear.  Yes, I’ve heard some of the books the mama bears want to ban, but I do not know the context, yes it’s provocative, but is it intended to be bad for the kids, or dare I say a teachable lesson with perverted acts that some see as such? 

It’s not a discussion, it’s just these Gen-Xers whining like children and wanting to get their way. They are “too busy” to take time out of their busy lives to go to their PTA (or in some places PTO) and get involved in that proper channel, they are abusing the channels to bitch about their narrowed-view.

Hey why don’t these parents take the time to meet their teacher than the board of directors of the school system? Isn’t this said generation to follow “chain of command”?

I cannot stress further that I am really disgusted on how public discourse and dialogue has gone so deep and shallow. This was what I feared if The Tea Party was going to rise, full frontal assault to local democracy. As many of you know Donald Trump did hostile takeover of The Tea Party, and dropped the “e” and “a” in “Tea” and made it indirectly the “T” Party, “T” for “Trump”. But Trump, the Donald, is on the level of the Tea Party, of if Joe the Truck Driver can run government the way he runs is one man band trucking company, then it’s that simple huh?

So why in the last decade The Tea Party members picking fights if they think it’s so easy? Apparently it’s not that easy and they aren’t doing the right thing by stepping down and letting someone else that can do the job. So much for being a libertarian!

From The Broken Desk of Steven…

I have written a bunch of works for several blogs and platforms over the last decade. As time has gone on, I have realized that there was several underlying things that collided, and are colliding, and is the reason of where I am today, at a point where I feel I being oppressed.

This should not come at a surprise to anyone. My written blog posts as well as recent forays into podcasts and livestreams have basically wrapped 3 different types of challenges that was documented and sadly will likely get worse before it gets better. The reason why I have (and still do) is just a verification of the Hey-I-Told-You-So… not that I want to be (always) right either.

The reason why I am not in an active relationship, the ability to have a meaningful work environment or hell the ability to have a casual social network, is either being blocked or being destroyed or worse I was engineered to fail!
