I experienced a floppy disk, hard disk, AIL, and AI, Yo MTV raps Tupac conspiracy theories, 9/11 attacks, Rodney King, Oj Simpson, middle east wars, a pandemic, the elimination of encyclopedia Britannic’s, the dictionarys, and Newspapers and now AI conspiracies, something about a bunny during super-bowl how to wear progressive Lenses, dumb letters that apparently have a secret meaning something if spoken incorrectly, and something called a group chat (which is a thing and not a swingers club like i thought)

If that wasn’t enough, now im told i gotta “pick a side” cuz you can’t be just an independent person with brown skin and respectfully research and make a conclusion based on hard facts. I will politely return to my”cave, rock, shack, farm” now before I personally will ever in my life judge someone based entirely on someone’s skin color alone or talk trash about my military or who are doing thehob that many of us were too drunk, high, corrupt etc to get in and they are the real heroes.

I make decisions on what i feel are right for me and my family for a future of peace.☮️

Cuz THIS Gen X’er is confused and cant understand what half the stuff is yall arguing about right now im still trying to De Code the 9/11 “conspiracies” believing the US Patriot Act 2001

Doors swing both ways for a reason and im already 54 can yall just wait till the next Quinquennial before stuff get hyped up again 😬 or ar least some of us carch up to the know it generation cuz Im a Gen X’er some of us finally mastered that smart A comment “go look it up on YouTube it Mom that’s what you always told us” by which the ONLY thing i have a leg in THAT debate now is MY comment back:

“I NEVER said look it up on YouTube becausemy oldest daughter didn’t even have YouTube i said LOOK IT UP IN A BOOK a BOOK! Cause all three of yall know how to read and sound out the letters theres a difference”
I won this argument whether you know it or not my momma was a teacher and still corrected my spelling until 3 years ago and I said MOM sound it out with ME its HOLE there is no “w” sound silent whatever just cuz its silent its pronounced the same and my cell phone autocorrected me anyway so its still the same word

(Those that knew her know exactly what I mean) that’s my receipt same sound two separate meanings two entirely different words and yes I wrote this that’s why it’s on my website and on my page if you don’t write your own stuff and it’s suddenly discovered you actually didn’t write it,

I’m coming for a good LAUGH and make you close your eyes and spell that word or at LEAST give me a definition of that word you said without using electronics.

So excuse me while I return to reading my 1979 Readers Digest and look for my funny pages this Sunday in front of my 3 channel black and white TV with rotary knob. Or for you youngsters IDNCIYCUTSINMP

Go ahead and figure it out and sound it I’ll wait right here another 50 years boo!!!
