Meme Thread... no politics

In reply to volvoclearinghouse :

Just up the road from Blackshear is Patterson. Check out the red pepper grill BBQ joint. Been there a few times and it's decent BBQ. Specifically, ask for the RPG salad, which is a salad in name only

Been there.  You are correct.  :-)

I've spent weeks in the greater Blackshear-Patterson-Waycross area.  I think I've eaten at every non-chain restaurant there.

"Z has done the math and realized there is no retirement. So they are going to enjoy something as they work themselves into a grave."

A 72 month note on an $80K truck works out to around $1300 per month.  If they could afford that payment every month, they could save $1.3 million in 30 years.

I've wanted to post this statement, but the one I found was illustrated with a photo of a contemporary and very high profile politician.

Ironically, this is actually something that A.I. algorithms are *really* good at. A Japanese bakery developed an algorithm to identify different pastries at checkout, and this program then got adapted to identify cancer cells.

Obligatory meme that reminds me of my current undetermined health issues:

A mid-20s Gen Z'er could easily have enough to retire by  mid-50s on that. And that's not counting any contributions from a spouse, employer, etc:

Obligatory meme:

"AI" should really stand for "Acquired Intelligence". There really isn't anything artificial about it. It's all scrapped from existing data

Side note and why (I believe) the AI boom will die sooner rather than later...a buddy who works in game development tells me their company just got sued because one of their developers used AI to generate a 5 story building with flowers in the windows. The resulting photo apparently used snippets of a copyrighted photo to make the flowers at each window without the permission of the copyright holder.

Alternatively, they are focused on the Olympics?

To be fair, Mick Jagger is old enough to be his grandfather, and the kid probably has not much interest in the Stones ot their music. 

At that age, I could have sat next to Benny Goodman and I probably would have neither known nor cared.

You're off your rocker if you think a Gen Zer making minimum wage qualifies for, let alone actually has, that kind of car payment. There's reasons why Gen Z is vastly behind even Millenials in driver's licenses and vehicle ownership, and 99 of them are money. 

In reply to DasAuto :

Someone making minimum wage is not financing an $80k truck. But not everyone makes minimum wage, even in the Gen Z cohort.

In reply to Keith Tanner :

I have three kids; 44, 42 and 40. None own cars now. One owned a car in college. But they all own their own homes.

Imagine going somewhere and seeing someone famous and leaving them the hell alone because they are there for the same reason you are there.
