It's mid June, and now I'm getting to these questions. Which is better than usual, since usually I don't get to them.
I guess it depends a bit on what you consider an object? And whether I should limit it to things I have a realistic possibility of ever buying. Is a house an object? If so, I'd like a Victorian in a walkable neighborhood, please. If a house isn't, but a car is, I'd like a Hyundai Ioniq or Kia EV6. I'm under no misapprehension that electric cars are a real solution to climate change; we need to aim at eliminating cars almost entirely, in favor of universal quality public transit. While I'm waiting on that dream, I hate my current car. It gets much worse in-town gas mileage than I expected it to, and has been unexpectedly expensive to maintain. I don't have any foreseeable chance of buying either of those things, since electric cars are still priced as luxury items here in the US.
So, the MNT Pocket Reform is like $900. I don't need one, but I think it's a great design. I don't need one, but if a windfall dropped in my lap, I could imagine buying one.
The generation before me is the Boomers, so there's a *lot* they love that I don't understand. Cars being an obvious one. I have cars so much, and I hate having to have one. But even more than that, I don't get "classic rock". I just don't see anything interesting or enjoyable about it, or earlier rock, either. Punk and Metal, sure I get it. But otherwise, give me synths instead of guitars.
The generation after me is Millennials, and I'm not real sure that there's anything they love that I don't understand. I'm a mid-Xer, but pretty much everything about at least the older Millennial experience is pretty relatable to me.
So I'll talk about Zoomers. I don't get Zoomer humour, and in particular, I don't get YTP (YouTube Poop). To me it's just annoying and confusing. I don't dislike absurdity; I can generally enjoy Gen Z memes. But definitely not the video style. I also don't like video game streaming, and especially all those streamers who are effectively reality TV stars, except worse. Do Millennials like streaming, too? I don't know, I'm old.
Oh, an easy one! My state has "Confederate Memorial Day" as a state holiday. It exists because that was the compromise needed to get the white supremacists in our state legislature to let Martin Luther King Jr. Day be a state holiday. If we could defenestrate and/or trebuchet the 60% of our state legislature needed to replace it, the obvious choice would be Juneteenth, which is a federal holiday, but not a state holiday. Which means I have to work tomorrow.
A harder one. To me it would mean being recognized as having done the work needed to deserve forgiveness. I have never felt redeemed, and never hope to. One of my main breakthroughs in my mental health in the past few years is recognizing and accepting myself as a bad person, as the villain in other people's stories. It's amazingly freeing to be able to be able to let go of the need to see yourself as good; all the cognitive dissonance just melts away.
I do think other people have been redeemed, outside of fiction. Of my personal acquaintance, the late Tom Turnipseed. He went from an early career as a white supremacist politician and political strategist, to become a beloved antiracist and antiwar activist.
