              I think this meme isn’t talking about the horny kind of gooning or the social kind of boss, I think it’s about like classic cartoon goons, like how batman would go foil the plans of The Penguin and his goons every saterday morning, and in these types of shows the goons would always just talk to the villain in short sentences like “ok boss” or “you can count on me boss”

          The impossible is possible at Zombocom.

          Used to load Zombocom on every computer in the lab back in high school. Except the one computer that faced away from the teacher that was used to play Ass Hunter on ebaumsworld. Unfortunately, that computer also faces the door to the class, so it was risky, and ultimately became a problem.

        It’s pretty wild how much they’ll deface themselves to attempt to hold onto their youth, esp when they’ll look much better if they avoided it in the first place.

        Oh fuck off. Actors who are famous for their faces have no good path forward. They will be criticized regardless, either for “letting themselves go” or “getting work done.”

        “Age gracefully” means “get work done that I can’t clock, because it hurts my feelings to acknowledge that faces change in aesthetically displeasing ways as people age.”

        I’m really sick of this pseudo-feminist policing of aging women’s faces.

          Right. I’ve never seen an old person without immediately recoiling in horror, because I was raised in an under-30 only creche on a remote island without internet.

          Your strawman has some bearing in hollywood circles where image is everything, but as several aging celebrities have shown us – you can literally disappear from the public whenever you want.

            We are talking about actors, specifically Courtney Cox. Your weird island idea is the straw man in this conversation.

            The idea that she should age in a way that continues your “crush” on her or else “disappear from the public” is continuing the policing of women’s bodies that I am referring to.

              I’m not claiming agency over her like a fawning stalker… I expressed a small crush on a public figure and lamented that she had to turn to drastic surgery to remain in the limelight, when she could have just disappeared from the public consciousness altogether.

      Gen-x, as is their nature, simultaneously doesn’t care and complains endlessly about everything equally, even the stuff they like, especially the stuff they like.

      To put it in a perspective that this audience will understand; boomers are superintendent Chalmers. Millenials are Principal Skinner. Gen-x is Comic Book Guy.

      These aren’t radically new forms of celebrity so much as new methods of circulating a fad. Thirty years ago we had Pewdiepie and Mr. Beast, they were just Talk Radio shock jocks and daytime TV game show hosts. The names and faces change, but the gimmicks are all the same.

      “Oh, you don’t know who Octomom is? Oh, you haven’t heard about the Macarena? You don’t know all the call-lines to Rocky Horror Picture Show? I guess you’re not cool.” shrug These things come and go. You can follow them or not. But pretending the height of socialization is knowing the current crop of Mouseketeers-turned-pop-idols isn’t going to make you less of a Boomer than your great-grandparents.

          They mean the equivalents of them. Mr Beast got big almost 10 years, and Pewdiepie was relevant almost 20 years ago. 10 years before that, you had Oprah Winfrey and Rush Limbaugh.

At some point he said he’s 32, and i could not believe that i met that man from the begone area, that looked so young. In fact i was so amused by that fact that i paraded him around and showed him off to my friends. “Hey, guess his age.” WRONG, he’s 3 2 years old, van you believe that? He’s just like us.

        I think about that guy about once a week and remember when i was 32… 7 years ago.

            And it really ramps up the older you get. I always thought i’ll never be out of touch, because i grew up with the internet and i play video games with often younger people i assume. But then i worked with 3 electricians for example. They were super far behind because they sat on their phones a lot (not just, but it didn’t help.) i didn’t want to be that guy so i just let them be. It was quite surreal to me to see a bunch of guys playing fortnite on their break. The problem was that i look really young, so they often think i’m one of them. So i pulled one of them aside and told them that they are like 2 weeks behind and need to be finished in a week and they really need to get their shit together. He dabbed at me, said okay and went to work. I thought this is some “i think you should leave” skit.
