Some valid points that have nothing to do with audio:
- I think I grew up with one of those Sunbeam toasters. I guess the toaster "oven" was the technological advance that displaced them. Oh, how we grieve over the things that made this country great.
- Facebook is a cesspool. And for those that read the Facebook "News feed": you have been compromised.
- The Great Wealth Transfer is the largest wealth transfer in history and is the here and now, although in this case it may be simply because this young gentleman exceeded his own expectations.
- For the record, I asked A.I. ... Older people may dislike younger people due to perceptions of entitlement, a perceived lack of work ethic, and disrespect. Other reasons include value differences between generations (Women are important. Kinda. Not really), a disconnect created by social skills lacking in young people (Usually cannot follow simple directions!), and an unconscious bias from older individuals who romanticize their own past (Sunbeam toasters) and view the present through a lens of comparison. Psychological factors like flawed memory (Wait, what?), authoritarian tendencies (Fake! Hoax!), and even jealousy of opportunities (When do we all get Burmester's?) can contribute to this negative generational outlook. (Doesn't that sum it up? Great job A.I.!)
- Lying on social media has been trending up since the MySpace days.
For the record, I am the one that advised this young man on what to buy. And I did not get offered a bottle of wine for it. Rather would just have a stray cable he may have laying around though. I have a home AND an address!
I have been diligently researching streamers so I can be there for him when he needs me, so I am on call! You go Ramaswamy!
