Great guy know is an actual boomer, grew up in Canada and then London after the war (dad was an MP). That dude took a passenger ship from Canada to UK and then back.
Was in Jolly ol' England at the right to see the Beatles before they were the Beatles.
He was doing things with palm pilots and computers that no senior citizen should have been doing if this ageist shit was in anyway accurate

The meh generation
Nah, they’re the last “boomer” generation. Fed a diet of TV and no internet growing up, but just in time to secure the last slice of normal with owning a home and having a family on a decent income.

You're using that word again. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Boomer-ass comment

What in the utter fuck is this dog shit take???? lol. Dude, Boomers INVENTED fucking computers. GenX, grow up along side them. We pretty all had a vic 20, Commadore 64, or Spectrum 48k/128k, or Amstrad CPC464. And later on an amiga, or an ST. The list is fucking endless, and thats before you get to to the Apple II, the trs80 and Commadore PET and later 386 PCs.
We grew up with ham radios, VCRs, TVs that only played games on one channel. We had Nintendo and Sega battling it out in the 80s, then Sony, nintendo, panasonic, Sega, NEC, SNK, Philips, Atari, Casio(who created a console exclusively for girls for some reason), Bandi, apple, and fuck knows how many others battling in the 90s. The idea that all these things were invented by/or used by boomer and genx, and you can sit there thinking we dont know how to use shit... We're the fucking figure it out generation, son. If something broke, we had to learn to fix it ourselves. And without youtube videos and FAQs to hold our hands.
Millennials, absolute kings of the terrible takes and pulling information out of their arse.

These days everyone has advanced electronic devices. Eveeeeryone.
You really came out swinging for no reason there, eh?

We're burned out. It's time to pass the soldering iron.

I tried to get into the whole Arduino thing as a Gen Xer. I couldn't believe the complexity and back story you need to know before getting started. Totally baffled by the whole thing. Just give me a processor, some memory and a serial port. Why do I need an IDE, drivers, a bootloader, fifteen different kinds of whatevers I don't understand, yes, I am burned out, where are the Doritos?

They’re too tired for that too. They’re more of a “blow in the hole and jiggle it” people.

Good damn it they forgot about us again. This is exactly why they call us Generation X!

Tribalism: a strong, sometimes prejudiced, loyalty to a group or tribe, often leading to negative attitudes towards outsiders.
For example:
Millennials are supposed to be the generation that ends the capitalist age tribalism propaganda

I dunno, I've spent enough time in online communities that I'd rather not start fights over things that can simply be talked through. I'm happy to hear Bennyboy's response too if they still disagree with me and believe me to be mistaken, but there's certainly no reason for hostility!

And as for "coming out swinging", youre god damn right. Cos you people are either ignoring us, or just making up dog shit about us. And now youre giving the shocked Pikachu face, cos someone got sick of the bullshit lies? Dude... I guess that another thing your generation love to do. Make it look like the bullied person standing up for themself is the asshole. Fuck, how you lot love to do that.
