How many of us have never owned a brand new car?

I've never been able to afford a brand new car. i'm in my early 40s and prior generations used to buy brand new cars all the time at that age. I was saving for a good down payment but now the prices have doubled and it makes my savings feel like nothing. 10 year old cars are going for 15K now.

For American Xennial - Did you think Monty Python was the height of comedy?

I grew up with British shows thanks to PBS and Masterpiece Theatre, etc... My dad was a huge fan of Doctor Who, I used to watch 'Yes, Minister', 'Are You Being Served?' and I watched shows like Coupling through DVD imports when I was older.

I recall huge swaths of my friend in college were massive Monty Python fans and considered British humour above American humour, even though it was the 90's and Monty Python was from the 70's.

Our sense of humor is special.

I believe that Gen X has the best quality: we appreciate dark humor.

We went through grammar school telling dead baby jokes, we watched TV telling us we’re gonna die from AIDS, or drugs, or nukes. We watched 7 astronauts literally die on live TV. We had relatives who served in Viet Nam and came back fucked up!

So I think we appreciate applying levity in generous portions when things are truly horrible.

But kids these day (and I’m lumping Millennials and Gen Z into this) are sooo fucking sensitive. I post a joke about a tragedy, and I’m downvoted all to hell. Fine. Then the comments. “you’re terrible” or “that’s so hurtful” or “how would you feel if that was your family.”

When my father was on his deathbed from lung cancer, we joked about it. Cuz fuck it.

Maybe because we didn’t have “safe spaces” or “mercy rules” we had to deal with shit and learn that life goes on.

Anyone else appreciate a truly morbid sense of humor?

How many Boomer family members or co-workers do you know who have LOST THEIR MINDS?

Whether it be from locked in old thinking and living in delusion, trying to exist with the culture future shock of being technologically illiterate, bad diets which caused strokes, still burnt out acid hippies, senility, etc.?
