What has saved lives?

looks like we took a break from 85-2000. slacker generation.

baby boomers

Reaganomics kicked in.

...and any subsequent advancements have been via esoteric research that doesn't require any participation of society at large or investment of tax revenue.

I bet video games have saved lives by keeping a few complete nutjobs off the streets

hmmm... self driving cars and the internet of things? Not yet they haven't and will they count the Skynet bodies?

Alcohol and marijuana have saved more lives than lifeguards.

but... they have probably killed more than lifeguards too. Especially the former

Yeah, they've killed a lot of lifeguards. Wait wut?

This is a bright side thread people!

Just ignore the trash and empty beer bottles.

no trash here. Or empty beer bottles. Cans, mebbe, but only tonight's since Ilast stood up. Fucktons of books and paperwork. and craft things. And small things. And paperwork. And metal things. and books.

I'm getting kinda tired o' learning shit over here...

On the up side, you don't have to retain it, just say, no shit, every time you learn it. ;)
