Because corporations need to own everything. Global food trade is split up almost entirely by ten corporations: https://ourfuture.org/20170105/oxfam-ten-multinational-corporations-control-most-food-brands
Have fun trying to find food items in a supermarket that ar not in any way related to any of these.
Error 404: Meme not found.
Because Medellin was not given as an example.
Their first years fell into relative wealth due to an economic boom in the 50s and 60s.
It was a side note giving a reason why the example you gave is not an option for me. Had you brought up a place in Russia, Saudi Arabia or the USA I'd have made a similar comment.
Plus again it is just a side note. You are the one who wants to focus on that topic now. You could have continued conversing on amy other part of my response.
Expressing disdain towards autocratic regimes in a short side note is perfectly normal.
I know about mountain climates. However, I grew up close to an ocean coast, I love the salty smell of the sea, mountains are nice for a vacation but bearing down in the long run. Also Kunming is in China (fuck the CCP) and due to me being pretty much not able to work I am still best where I am (for now at least. Too many rich asses working on dismantling welfare here).
I do agree partially to your line of thinking. When I as a young millenial was the age of today's young to middle gen Z (~late teens to early twenties) peak humor were ten hour long loops of Nyan Cat, Epic Sax Guy/Gandalf or Cantina Band with a side of Cheezburger Cat memes. Weird shit from a 30-something year old perspective.
My siblings and I are telling Dad Jokes to my niece at every opportunity and I can imagine those are your dominant form of humor when you have your own kids taking over your whole life.
However, there is another component to it, displayed by an oversimplified, slightly sarcastic analysis:
Boomer humor: I hate my wife.
Millenial humor: I hate my life.
GenZ humor: E
Of course, GenX is forgotten in this but from my experience, there is some credence to and a reason behind this.
Over time, relationships not lasting forever, divorces and marrying later in life has become more accepted socially, so elder folks might more often be stuck in unhappy relationship than younger people.
Meanwhile Boomers (and GenX) lived through Wirtschaftswunder, were less exposed to news and mostly had an overall more hopeful and positive expectations for life where Millennials grew up with the emergence of social media, more information available generally, being more exposed to crisis news and an increasing awareness about climate change and other threats to society.
This is not universal, there obviously was the Cold War and the looming nuclear destruction and this is mostly a western, often privileged white perspective, but still an influence on pop culture, memes, satire and humor.
I suffer physically during summer and mentally during winter. I 'd love for a long, extended spring time (because I have no allergies ruining it for me), but anthropogenic climate change is 86ing spring and autumn atm.
"Old school joke" = edgy, 30-something years old teenager who never became an adult.
Where meme?
