The trend I find hilarious is when people come into these threads and start yelling at people about how wrong they are to generalize a generation, etc. Frankly, I can't imagine why people feel the need to defend others over this, it's weird--and I imagine that none of them complained when people complained about Millenials.

I don’t recall ever seeing anyone posting memes about how long before the millennials are all dead- and having everyone in the comments cheer it on.

But don’t let this get in the way of your strawman.

It's a start.

I kid, I kid, my parents are already dead, not everyone who was/is a boomer is horrid. But this generation has hung around power for too long, it's time to move on.

What kind of psycopath counts generation death as a good thing. All interesting humans dead and you take it as an achievement.

Stop crying on the past. Stop blaming past on generations. Start learning from past generation mistakes, and thank them for having you.

Because as a new generation we're going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations. And we shouldn't be blamed in the future.

Blaming the past generations and not learning from them is a childish response. Start doing something productive and useful to society, blaming is not helping.

Stop having tantrums and grow up. And thank you have past generations otherwise you would have to create all we have now from scratch.

It's like saying "Newton dumb" because his work is old and it doesn't work correctly for all physical frames, not like Einstein his work is much better. Both are as good because they lived at different times with different technology, knowledge, society, etc.

This feels like explaining basic life knowledge to a 3 year old tbh.

Yeah, not like boomers blame millenials or gen Z for everything. Oh wait.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
