"Being 35 and called a boomer."
"There are a lot of younger people who seem to think that they are the ones who have discovered all the injustices in the world.
I think every generation is like that, though. The young become aware of the bad things in the world, wonder why life is that way, and then blame the older generations for not doing anything about it, without recognizing how hard the older generations had to fight just to get things to this point (from much worse situations).
They don’t realize that real social change takes a considerable amount of effort from a lot of people over time. Nothing changes overnight."
"“You’re gaslighting me!”
No, I just disagree with your interpretation of events. Disagreement isn’t abuse."
"What I find most frustrating is that younger people, especially on social media, especially on Twitter, are aware of the bad things in the world, but don’t yet have an understanding of the history behind why those things are bad, or of the issues as they currently stand, or of adjacent politics that are intertwined with these problems at a basic level.
And if you point out the potential downsides that a solution could bring, or that an issue is more complex and systematic than “why doesn’t Jeff Bezos just buy everyone’s food?”, you must be on the Other Side of the issue."
"Referring to any and everything as a “hack.” Never figured out how to properly use something until someone on YouTube showed you? That’s not a f@#king hack. That’s called learning and using something as it’s intended. Found a faster/better way to scramble eggs with your egg beater? That’s not a f@#king hack. That’s called technique."
"Pseudo-psychological mumbo jumbo.
No, that person you dislike probably doesn’t have narcissistic personality disorder.
You’re not an empath because you think someone sitting alone at a restaurant crying is sad.
There’s no such thing as an ambivert – it’s called having a normal range of human emotions."
"They’ve never been in a problem-solving role. No management positions, no business-building, etc.
There’s nothing that gives as much a sense of perspective, or a kick in the @$$, like trying to actually do something and realizing it’s more complicated and difficult than you ever dreamed it could be, much less how complicated you thought it actually was.
Making a sculpture seems like just chiseling until you try and do it. Surprise! It’s hard."
"Honestly, the fact that every good deed done has to be filmed and posted for likes. Just because you APPEAR to be a kind person. Doesn’t mean your intentions are kind."
"I find a lot of it has to do with the younger generation’s obsession with labels. They aren’t comfortable with “they’re just an @$$hole” they need a reason for them to be an @$$hole.
Once you stop needing those labels and reasons life becomes a lot more freeing and peaceful."
"From my own generation, I hate how having “no filter” and “being a b#tch” are considered okay these days. If someone is a rude POS people aren’t going to want to be around them. But then they blame you for that like your job is to be in their presence so they can criticize and berate you for the most ridiculous things."
"That anything you disagree with is “violence”
If this is your view, you have no idea what violence is."
"Lots of younger people complain about school failing them by not teaching them every little thing in life.
I’ve seen people use that as an excuse for not being able to cook, do laundry or taxes.
You literally have the entire world’s information in your pocket, but somehow can’t put “how to cook pasta” on youtube?"
"That anything and everything is toxic. Grow up. Nobody asked to be here, we’re all just working it out."
"Stuff about older generations not understanding technology. cellphones when I was in elementary school were the huge brick things that only REALLY wealthy people had. and then by the time I was 16 I had one myself.
Hotmail and gmail being “free for anyone” email was revolutionary. I remember splitting some allowance off in middle school to pay for my own Email address.
I was around for floppy drives, the rise of CDs, to now when everything is broadcasted via internet.
I know I can’t keep up with technology at this pace forever, let alone when the inevitable creep in pace continues.
Be nice when your parents call you for tech support people."
"GenX here – we weren’t automatically issued a house and money and a spouse and kids at age 25."
"All the “self-diagnosing”
Posting a meme about being an empath and 20 people responding “omg this is so me, I’ve always been an empath”. Yeah no."
"I’m tired of being ignored because I’m over 25. I’m tired of younger people not even saying hello and introducing themselves when they are in my house. They just stare and sometimes even roll their eyes. I have younger roommates and they leave their belongings everywhere and their friends just come over and take over the space. Never once thinking to say “hello, I’m ______, how are you?” It is unnerving."
"That everyone and every piece of media pre-2000 is problematic.
Morals shift, in 20-40 years everything from 2000 to now will be seen as problematic. Don’t be so hard on those who came before and have shifted too, or you will be judged similarly by those to come."
"Honestly tired of everyone getting offended by everything. I mean, people will have different opinions than you. I shouldn’t have to support something you believe if I don’t believe it."

You're racist because you've found out "the truth" that everyone not of your skin colour is somehow an evil criminal?
Have you gotten your life experience in the KKK by any chance?
You're exactly the problem. Karen. That's an extreme evaluation of happy's comment.
No. He is saying he was so far anti racist that he was on a watch list which is a pretty unbelievable thing in itself but ok.
And now he says he became a racist because of his "life experience".
Being a racist means that you believe your race is somehow the best and people of other races are somehow all dumber, more criminal, and more evil than you. Which is idiotic and pretty narcissistic.
You only get that kind of "life experience" by hanging around with people that are racist too and point out these, often not well thought out, points how they are constantly the victim.
It's pretty logical that someone growing up in a household with racist parents turns you in that as well.
And most "karens" are more like, well,.. you.
Are you sure you're not mixing prejudice with racism? They are not the same.
The tag is used for almost any reason nowadays. Then, when it has been applied, the woketards can associate you with the KKK and cry "CANCEL".
"If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” -old Chinese proverb
True but like you said, it depends why you put it on social media. A pic of you and some friends having cleaned up trash for example could inspire others to do the same.
Okay, Karen.
Makes zero sense. A Karen would never do a good deed. Not even for Internet points.
And was my example and reason not logical?
A good person is someone that does the right thing when no one is watching.
I know that's an old platitude - but it's true.
Giving names to perceived personality types is the epitome of stereotyping, and extremely ostracizing to anyone who happens to have that particular name. It's bigotry without the race or religion. (Except "Karen," who's described specifically as being white. ...but that's not racism, right? You know, because it's against a white person?)
Kids complain all the time about being offended, then they turn around and create a brand new way to literally be as offensive as possible. Hypocritical morons...
I saw Adolphus say almost exactly the same thing in the funny picdump up there...
Sooo, did you forget you changed devices or something?
Why do you define Karen as a white person. It is not always about race. A Karen is someone of a type of personality.
Would you like to speak to a manager?
Andrew,
Kids and teenagers have contradicted themselves since teenagers existed. You surely did the same when you were of that age. Just chill my friend. Try not to be so worked up about life. Do your best and love by example. You got this.
Hahaha. "Just chill"? You didn't seem so chill when read my comments judging on your replies.
"Love by example"? After you literally defended a racist, someone that hates up there?
Ok, karen...
