What millennials pick on zoomers, where?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They don't know how to use the shift key to make capital letters. They are lost.

Jesus Christ, and when boomers say the same about you, you have the nerve to act like a victim

I don't have a problem with zoomers, but I will make fun of them for using TikTok. It's an unhealthy social environment. I know a zoomer who struggles with tiktok addiction and always does more poorly after using that app. They've been braver and kinder since they quit it.

So instead of building a better platform for them, you denigrate them for conforming to the world you left behind for them.

You are exactly the boomer you claim to hate

So if they're not going to save the world, nothing they ever do amounts to anything. Worse, the whole thing worked (the Zoomer quit Tiktok and they feel better now) so that was obviously bad.

And now, and please do mind that has nothing to do with age: Your argument is dumb and you should feel bad. In fact the first thing is Boomer talk, the shit they tried to get us with. Fuck that.

Feel free to waste your time beating up that strawman all you like; the rest of us have actual important shit to do.

At some point further down in your life you're going to look back, in regret, thinking "Why did I become the me version of Ben Shapiro".

And now the projection starts.

Tell you what. I'll just block you now and you waste my time again never.

I'm not a fan of the tiktok Insta influencer culture and communicating in 90% emojis but other than that it's all good.

Me, here.

Picking on younger generations is healthy and natural: They're still figuring stuff out and it's a good way to give some teachings while everyone has a chuckle. What's not healthy and natural is leaving them with neuroses where silent expectations, judgements, unwillingness to see their side etc. are the usual weapons: Don't carry a dagger behind your back, doubly so don't be unconscious of it, instead, open-carry a super soaker.

Said the dumbass craven bully who needs to pick on people weaker than themselves to feel better

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

So you wouldn't pick a snowball fight with a whole primary school because you're oh so moral, not because you're scared. Makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Unlike you I do not, in fact, fear five-year-olds. And it's not because of fear or principle. It is because I am not a craven, sadistic lunatic who feels the need to harm children to prove a point.

I shall look forward towards your experience report picking that snowball fight with a whole primary school, then. Also primary school is like 6-10, at least over here. They can throw.
