  • You’re right. Our grandparents where actually kinda cool when they where younger pushing free love, good drugs, and protesting against the war in Vietnam.

    Say what you will, but that’s the generation that got most of the civil rights movements really in gear. You dont get a Kent State without pissing off the powers that be. They did some cool shit, hell they did fucking stonewall.

    Unfortunately most of that generations soul got bought and sold some time in the 80’s.

    Gen X’s symbol of youthful rebellion, on the other hand, was a cable TV channel owned and operated by Viacom for the express purpose of advertising music which had been prepackaged by one of three major record labels.

    I honestly think Gen X’s rebellion was a fake one sold by their parents to keep any actual progress from being made. That’s why we didn’t see any big protests after the 70s until occupy wallstreet. Maybe the anti-war stuff during the early 00’s, but early mellenials where in college by then, so I think its safe to hand that to them too.

    Then again generational shit should be taken with a grain of salt and all that, but as an early Gen-Z cusper, would it be harsh to call you guys the poser generation?



  • “Fpv drones are for rich people”

    You can get into flying whoops for like $250, and if you wait it out you can spend that over the course of months:

    1. Radiomaster pocket and a free sim ($60)
    2. Cheap box goggles down the line to improve the sim and use once you get your qwad ($50 - $100)
    3. When you finally don’t suck you can get a mobula3 or whatever for like another $120, now you’re flying FPV

    FFS, one of the most prevalent YouTube fpv channels of all time started out while the guy running it was squatting out in a box car and dealing with serious substance abuse issues.

    I’ve spent far more money on old eBay servers and weed over the years. But no one calls you rich for smoking dope or playing with Linux on EoL hardware…
