      Ever talk to someone about politics only for them to come to a dead stop? They reached the end if their script. I’ve had so many unwilling conversations with right wingers regurgitating what they just heard without actually thinking about what they’re saying.

        I don’t think it’s just right wingers, I’ve seen people that just regurgitate information in most social groups I’ve been in, including lefty communities.

          Information is fine. A lot of people just regurgitate talking points and clearly have no idea what they mean. I call it bumper sticker politics, and both sides are guilty of it (“Go woke go broke!” “Corporations aren’t people!”). If your entire belief structure can be boiled down to one sentence that you don’t even understand, you are not helping.

      Sounds like something an NPC would say.

      What can you tell me about the mountains next to the village?

      I’d personally prefer the terms “cliche” or “basic” just due to the baggage npc has, but the meme does accurately describe 70% of my graduating class.

      Came here to roast on that, too. 😂 Attempting to make fun of someone who “can’t conversate” is just too rich.

      …and as a former business major…all I have to say is, you’re either going to be a business (of sorts) or work for a business. Hopefully, you will also be dealing with money. Knowing what makes businesses tick, and understanding money, isn’t a bad thing. 🙂

      Looking at present-day society & towards our future, I’d definitely steer more young men away from college & towards trade schools & the like.

    These people don’t stop existing after college, either.

    If you want the starter pack for their middle-aged evolution, exchange the hoodie for a thrift store blazer, give them an entry level Fiat 500, and witness how they manage to work their way into any conversation only to interject with “words of wisdom” from the last 200 page “How to fix your business” book they bought at a seminar they payed $200 to go to, but didn’t actually attend, because it was in Vegas and they spent all their time on comp’d drinks and nickel slots.

      Oy, don’t knock small cars! If a car is necessary, small electric vehicles are good choices.

        I want to take the turbine engine from an Abrams and put it in a smart car.

        Smart Car builds > every basic ass luxury car converted for “”“racing”“”
