They used to have guides on building cool shit. It's worth it to look through the vintage ones, but I'll probably cancel my subscription because they have nothing to offer but fluff now.
Like everything else that used to be great, boomers ruined it.
Lmao
Boomers are pretty much irrelevant now
You should start blaming gen x for not having as many kids
>Boomers spent 13.4 percent less time with their kids than their parents did, and GenX spends 89 percent more time with their kids than their parents did.

They might have had less children, and generations after them even less, but Boomers were when child neglect hit its peak. What good is having more children if you ignore them
>"Observers of generational conflict say it is natural for younger generations to disparage older ones (and vice-versa), while most social scientists dismiss the idea of distinct “generations” altogether. Nevertheless....
"nevertheless, here's my illogical cope that ignores all that and seeks to deflect from my own failures by blaming a convenient boogeyman Ive been told to despise..."
Not hovering over your kids 24/7 because you are irrationally fearful and coddling them with constant and unrelenting attention that stifles individual growth and self realization and smothering them with inappropriate demands for emotional intimacy that reflect your lack of healthy adult relationships isn't "negligent" parenting, it's the exact opposite.
But how would you know, you're one of the poor saps who got raised that way, being encouraged to believe that you were special and that any normal issues you faced were the result of mean bad people and ideas that conspired to hold you back and steal what was yours for the asking.
Wahhhhhhhh.

Peak boomer
I have a feeling even after boomers die out people will be talking about boomers and making jokes about them like they still exist just because it’s imbedded in the culture now in this weird way.
I mean really though why have a paper book instead of a pdf in a practical sense. Don’t say SOVL and other emotional gaygorty. Also on the working with your hands thing it feels like every mid-late twenty year old I know has experience with cars but not other fields which is weird
'sovl' is having ineffable qualities not emotional shit
but in a practical sense a book is a self contained simple medium and it lends some physical footprint to the knowledge which would otherwise be just few minuscule megabytes in your terabytes of storage
>'sovl'
most irritating meme in memory
Naw, it's changing demographics. DIY'rs are minority now a days. It's millenials once again. Unless it uses a game controller or comes from Amazon, they aren't interested in fixing shit. Like the sheep they are, but deny, they argue why buy books when they can get it online. Thus mags like Pop Mech is grasping at topics to publish. Usually bizarre shit like anon earlier mentioned.. just a 10 min attention getter then into the trash it goes. Most of the authors are millenial hacks anyways.
millenials and zoomers ruin everything.
homosexual decadent consumerist 21th century hit us way too hard
stick your boomer obsession up your ass homosexual
on obscure science projects that have no bearing on the lives of ordinary people
like what
pop mech/pop sci has been dead for ages now. I used to read it in the early to mid 2000s but it was already starting to go downhill.
This boomer quit reading PM around 1980. No need.
