Grocery prices have gone up 25% to 30% since 2020. It has been at least three full years since the pandemic was declared over. And food prices have gone up at around 10% since then.

They don't need an excuse to add 10%, they're doing it anyway.

No, I don't think that is why. There have been much more depressing times in the past and those were just as colorful as any other time. I think the thing that has most influenced the color palette of millennials, or rather the lack of, is the rise of the internet and social media. People don't want to stand out and be mocked for being different. Especially in a climate where being different can actually cost you quite a bit. I believe this is especially true of interior decorators and designers who often set the trends for people to use.

There's also something to be said for an extreme backlash to the home makeover shows that were all the rage back in the late aughts. I think a lot of people still have trauma from the "experimental" bullshit that some of those designers did to their "clients" all in the name of chasing ratings.

Did millennials all just become color blind? It's all black, white, and grey with their color schemes.

I was born in the '70s. I grew up on those game shows. They do not hold a candle to the brazen contempt for humanity that Mr Beast videos have.

The speed with which the Fox News host tries to shut down the interview after he pulls that up is quite frankly fucking hilarious. Do their viewers even notice the absurd devotion to the pedophile elite that this media empire continues to practice?

No the horrible capitalistic systems we are living under right now are shaped and controlled by the 70 and 80 somethings that currently have a strangle hold on the government.

In other words the FUCKING BOOMERS!

They basically shifted all the research that they were doing through alpha fold to Isomorphic Labs.

Edit: there's a case to be made for the idea that they may have wanted to lower the public profile of the work they are doing in order to monetize it. Alpha fold was a non-profit endeavor, and switching it over to isomorphic labs may give them the opportunity to sell their research as a product instead of giving it away for free.

Go capitalism! 😒
