"Jennifer Aniston says a ‘whole generation’ now finds ‘Friends’ offensive"

Ummmm....what?? I grew up watching "Friends", and I think it is one the greatest shows and I don't find it offensive at all.

I'm gonna go with the latter. As I have mentioned many times previously, society and the newer generations are becoming more degenerate and dysfunctional. This whole sense of entitlement/arrogance and "playing the victim" cards has to stop.

Social media is a powerful tool that has so much potential for the greater good (imagine if this existed during Larry Bird or Michael Jordan peak times - they were able to make a name for themselves worldwide without social media). Unfortunately, you have stupidity and dumb@$$es that use it to promote the wrong sh!t and you have the current society times and woes.

I never understood why people would want to engage in the challenges of TT. Remember the Tide pods? Or the licking of ice cream and putting it back in the freezer of the store?

Please also add common sense, reasoning/logic, and intelligence. I honestly think there would be more peace, love, and understanding if stupidity was eliminated.

It appears COVID19 has made society dumber by decreasing brain size, function, and capacity:

I think you summed it up so well. Remember when FB was about reconnecting with lost friends from HS and just connecting and what not - then it became an ‘echo chamber’ where ‘my beliefs trump your beliefs - and it become an we vs THEM’. All I can say is it had good intentions but in the end - it kinda ruined itself. At least that is how I interpreted your social media response. Haha

Legend has it that OP is still debating his options.

On a side note, now is a really bad time to buy and/or to get into unnecessary debt. Interest rates have gone up so borrowing will be alot more expensive and you would qualify for less of a loan (provided you qualify at all). Prices have gone up due to inflation AND due to global supply issues and shortages of supplies and parts needed to build (i.e. semiconductors). High rates + high prices = does not make any sense to make big purchases** in this current economic environment.

**The ONLY exception to this is if you are buying a home, in which case you are investing into something that will appreciate in value (esp. due to shortage in supply), rather than a car which will depreciate.
