  • I honestly think this talking point is so dumb anyway. The whole concept of generations is actually stupid. They’re just younger people dealing with their own flavor of the bullshit we all had to deal with. Their lives wouldn’t magically be enhanced if they were latchkey kids that struggled to install a hard drive without the internet. I thought we wanted them to have better and easier lives? Isn’t that the whole point? Why would we want them to struggle with our bullshit AND all the new stuff in the world that they’re dealing with now? Plop them in one semester of a beginner computer/programming course and they’ll know as much (if not more) as the average millennial it’s not that deep.

    It’s wild that every generation gets dunked on by the ones that came before and so many people still grow up and repeat the cycle. Why? Just be kind to your kids and educate them if you think they’re lacking important knowledge ffs. I’m especially disappointed in millennial parents doing this shit. We’re still getting blamed for idiotic things to this day and you all didn’t even hesitate to pull the same bullshit on your kids. Do better.


  • No offense but I feel like as a parent theres a lot you could have done and can still do to mitigate that. Like, it’s reasonable to be mad at the exploitative reasons for tech being the way it is but you’re the parent and you’ve had a lot of control over those things for their entire lives. Not to mention that we’re the generation that embraced the easier tech as a whole. Kinda wild to blame the kids that are literally products of us and our actions.


  • I think you’re also basing your opinion on your limited world view. Morons have been anti vaccine since they were invented that’s absolutely not even remotely new. Honestly most of your complaints can been seen throughout history in various forms because it’s all just human stuff. I would caution you to try to avoid this thinking if possible because, frankly, it’s some boomer shit. You picking up a sense of superiority and dunking on “kids these days” is just following the same pattern of every generation before you with slightly updated complaints.

    I’d love to see humanity as a whole grow out of it and realize that the “kids these days” are just inexperienced people navigating the world exactly like we did. They have similar AND different challenges that they’re reacting to. Many of them behave exactly like you would if you were born in the same gen.
