I think this is the answer. I’ve seen similarly conspicuous altruism from Juggalos.

Nope, you’re thinking of the Lost Generation, nope Silents were called that because like Gen X, they were fewer in number than the post-war Boomers, and becuase they were generally known for being cautious and thrifty, having grown up in the shadow of WWII but too young to fight in it.

I think it’s more about easy portability than discretion.
- Comment on Personally, I never travel anywhere without it 1 week ago:
Not sure if you’re implying it but the Silent generation was sandwiched between the Greatest and the Boomers.

Even gay folks had a much harder time in the 90s, it’s hard to even imagine now but its like night and day.

I’ll pee sitting down sometimes in my own home but peeing sitting down with a penis in a public restroom is gross. Regardless of whether your dick aims at the water or the side of the bowl that’s a lot of fine spray of toilet microbiota landing on your junk and undercarriage. Better to just piss everywhere all over the seat and stay pure

Its food for the new poor. The generationally poor were eating chicken wings back in the 80s for $0.19 a pound and loving them. Now, after the dreadful gentrification of wings post-9/11 we’ve got ways to stretch a dollar you’ll never learn unless you marry in.

Les pieds de raccoon, such a delicacy

This is a decade or two past the true ideal. Not pictured: the 5-inch sliding control that mechanically adjusted between recirculated and exterior air and the drivers and passengers pull-knob by the feet that let exterior air flow in directly. A heavenly touring experience.Image
Also on the one pictured in your post, I find those lit press to toggle ac and def buttons with indicator lights wore out over time and required a ton of force to switch on the cars I’ve had with them.

Are they actual cut crinkle fries from a potato or are they like, formed potato matter because I could see the first one being pretty good. I will miss the straight cut with the potato skin on it from before though, yum.

Strange Aeons’ take on it was also entertaining.
- Comment on I ate: Arby's Steak Nuggets 5 weeks ago:
The arby’s near us closed years ago, am I to understand they have discontinued their straight-cut fries in favor of crinkle cut???

- Comment on Wear your seatbelt 1 month ago:
My laundry is not going to cause any danger with in-town driving, and the basket is too broad to put a belt around. It’s a stupid feature, but hey I’d be willing to get rid of airbags too so I imagine we are on opposite sides of the safety spectrum.
Read just now that seat occupancy sensors are required in new vehicles, disgusting. Never buying a newer car, will be repairing my current one til it turns to dust.
- Comment on Wear your seatbelt 1 month ago:
What if you have something heavy that you’ve put on the passenger seat and the car won’t shut up about it? Another useless safety feature that adds to the price of cars.

- Comment on The level of discourse in the US right now 2 months ago:
What if people are naturally bi/pan and either learned or chosen aversion to one sex or another makes them either gay or straight? In a hypothetical world free of antigay bigotry couldn’t a person be dared to kiss or otherwise get close to someone of the same gender and realize it turned them on?
I dont know but isn’t “born gay” or “born straight” kind of similar to gender essentialism?
I’m all for a world where people have as much opportunity to choose as possible, but I also realize people put a lot of stock in what they’ve already chosen. Perhaps it’s like a long term relationship where someone feels their partner is the “only one” for them, following a breakup they often find there are other partners they’d be happy with too.
Just my thoughts, no offense intended. Not really looking to share my own experiences here but they sort of make more sense in the theory I’m explaining here.

- Comment on What percentage of the world population ages 30+ do you suppose is capable of financially supporting themselves & living & thriving independently? 2 months ago:
Vanishingly close to 0%. People are social creatures and rely on each other to survive. Without the intricate web of interreliance that society relies on only a few extremely healthy and resourceful, profoundly insane people would survive as truly independent entities, a tiny number of these might “thrive.” Probably numbered in the hundreds or thousands worldwide.

- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 2 months ago:
I remember when my friend visited Arizona and they came back with a full color newspaper-style police publication with hundreds of mugshots and the crimes they were accused of, these were published weekly and widely available. Pretty fun to browse through, wish my state did that.

Wasnt there a documentary on PBS in the 90s about fermat’s last theorem where this was a plot point?
