You're the one who brought it up with your idiotic fallacy about anti-patriotism being a fad.

I second this, some the best episodes and most iconic Community moments are in seasons 5 and 6.

They have production details on the characters... and though they never say Shirley's age in the show, the prod details state she was born in 71, so she'd be 38 or 39 when the show began.

About would seem like the difference between early thirties and mid thirties. Jeff is around 31-32 Shirley 35-36. She seemed a few years older when they were kids in the foosball episode.

Doesn't Shirley tell Jeff at one point, "We're about the same age." I don't think she's older than him.

There are actually a couple episodes about the characters' ages in the future, so I don't want to be too specific.
So age SPOILERS for anyone that cares
Their approximate ages in season 1:
Annie - 18
Troy - late teens
Jeff - early/mid 30s
Pierce - 60s
Britta - late 20s
Shirley - late 30s/early 40s
Abed - Unsure, but assumed early 20s

Ah, unasked for political advice. Well since you presumed, so will I.
It is political strategy 101 to label your opponents as ultra or extreme of far this or far that or to pretend that "people use that word differently now" (what people where?). It marginalizes them and allows your "side" to easily dismiss anything they say. The logical fallacy of Attack the Messenger is built in to the equation. This applies to both sides of the aisle (a ridiculous phrase).
And before you ask, no I don't support the new Texas law that was discussed. It's based on a religious outlook and I'm an atheist. Religions are superstitious nonsense.
Finally, I hate this topic and try to avoid it when I can. One way is to watch fun reaction channels like this one. Which is why I was so disappointed to find it here too.

Patriotism is fine, even commendable. However, the people that use that word today (as in the past several decades), and claim to be a Patriot, have mangled the meaning so badly that it almost sounds like a slur now.
It's not a fad though... this is the nature of language. Words begin with a neutral meaning, but take on positive or negative connotations as they are used. Once a word begins to have the negative connotation, it rarely, if ever, comes back around to its neutral meaning.
The words used to name people with Dwarfism is an easy example. They've gone through several different appropriate name changes, but that only happens once the first name begins to be used offensively/insultingly. Then the word gains new meaning.
idk why i just went into that rant

I don’t necessarily think patriots or patriotism is bad. I just think that the word has been taken into the aesthetic of ultra nationalists so it’s got fascism cooties that it caught in the 80s more or less.

Gillian Jacobs (Britta) and Allison Brie (Annie) were both born in 1982.

The 49's were gold prospectors, not miners, in the gold rush of 1849. And thinking poorly of "patriots" is trendy at the moment but like all fads, it will pass.

I hope you end up watching the whole series. Season 4 is just seen as bad due to circumstances that arent the shows fault, but 5 and 6 are good again.
