Don't forget we're hated by baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Z and younger.
We're also expected to keep everything working while also treated like we're the most entitled.
Hold up. I'm GenX. I only hate Boomers.
I got nothing against millennials or younger. I even like whatever they're calling the new generation with their 67 rotted brains. They're simple folk, but hilarious.
I'm glad to hear that. Boomers are the ones who destroyed everything for everyone else.
Who gives a shit what boomers think, genx literally are incapable of giving a shit about anything and genz are in their 20's, what the fuck you care what a 20-something thinks about you? That's the glory of your 40's: you're fat, old and don't give a crap
boomers are millenial parents. everyone cares what their parents think.
gen x are gen z parents.
Genx to boomer parents. No. I do not give a shit what my parents think. Chiefly because i am 48 years old.
Yeah well there is something wrong with you then. The vast majority of people care very much what their family thinks of them.
Do you regularly have 'wanting to please your parents' define your actions as an adult?
You're supposed to have your own moral scaffolding and motivation in place by then, it's a rather large part of growing up
My parents are dead. But pretty much everyone I have never known who has them be alive, very much considered how their actions will impact their parents admiration for them, yes.
No, you're not. You're supposed to inherent from your parents/culture/community. If you 'build your own scaffolding' you're a outlier and likely detached from your community.
Ah yes, who gives a shit that we're divided on fundamental levels like age?
What does it matter that young people hate older people on the simple basis of age? For that matter, why does it matter if someone is: racist, a misogynist, a misandrist, homophobic, transphobic? Who cares!

Mate you need to get off the outrage pipe and go outside.
A flippant comment about the subtle art of not giving a fuck or living your life under fear of how others perceive you did not warrant that response.
Because it's one more thing for millennials to whine about.
What? Why? Everyone seems to like me lol. You're telling me they actually secretly hate me?
So much this. It boggles my mind that I was considered an "essential worker" and had to work every single day of the COVID shutdown when everyone else was staying home and social distancing. But I never got a raise or a bonus. I'm treated like dogshit stuck to my boss's shoe. Collectively Millennials are the current backbone of the United States workforce and we are expected to keep society running but we are treated like shit and are paid a fraction of what our boomer parents were making at our current age.
I'm genx, same both wife and I worked extra jobs during COVID, never worked from home. My boomer parents lived 100x better than me even during their "poor"years. Now retired, they still make quadruple what I do. I make less than I did 25 years ago, and that's not even making adjustments for inflation. I also have no savings, can't save when you can't afford to live. This economy is fucked. We also lived through all of those market upheavals and also the one in the '90s. It's been straight downhill since the boomers gen.
I certainly don't feel hated by Z.
I did mention skibidi toilets and 6 7 in front of a group of gen alphas and they literally cringed at me though lmao
Yeah, but it's fun to make the Alphas cringe. Why would I want a bunch of teenagers to think I'm cool?
