    This generational bullshit is all made up by marketing assholes. None of it is legit, it’s all a distraction from the class war we should all be waging.

      The whole generation thing gets so much funnier when you think how other countries exist.

      Imagine you experience a military coup at age of 10 and flee to North Iraq with your family where you live for a few years until your Asylum status gets processed and come to US.

      Because of how weird whole process is however you still have to stay in a migrant detention center for anywhere between 2 days to several months depending on your age and gender as they check your papers and luggage.
      (It looks like this btw.)

      Then some highschool teacher calls you overgrown toddler because “your generation is too sissy to drink from a hose.”

      Back in the day you could book computer time at the local library in my town. I would walk to the library by myself so I could play Oregon trail on an apple iie. Honestly I’m glad that kids have access to the equivalent of the Library of Alexandria in their pocket, but I do miss the days of pre social media and the 24 hour news cycle.

    I did this as a gen z kid after the new millennium. I did it with probably 40x contaminants than gen x ever had growing up. I apparently have a spoon weight in plastic in my brain by 25, let’s see if I can drink enough water that I can fit a Frisbee up there by 30. Lets speed run this shit

      They’ll he defined as a generation thay never got to be in charge.

      The youngest X-ers need colonoscopies, and the Boomers still fucking refuse to step back.

        I was going to make a pithy comment about Obama but nope turns out he’s a boomer. Boomer ages are roughly Trump at the old end and Obama at the young end. So yeah y’all lost your chance at having a potus with kamala. The silent generation may manage another though, because somehow they took power and barely ceded any to the boomers.

        Us millennials will get a solid decade or two of power and then you’ll see. You’ll all see! Who’s occupying wall street now?

    Have a sip of water that’s been solar heating in a rubber garden hose for a pavlovian blast from the past!
