...And yet again, Gen X has been forgotten.

Cool cool.

I kinda prefer it that way. Leave me the fuck out of this bullshit. I’m not stepping on necks the way Boomers did but I’m also old and tired enough that it’s not going to be me leading the charge for change. I’ll deal with my own PDFs.

Y'all are the ones that know how to make the printer work, which is wizardry to millennials and boomers alike

I wouldn't expect gen x to be as largely known for computer illiteracy as those two generations

One of which who first found computers as this strange new technology nobody's heard of, and the other entering adulthood while desktop computers are slowly becoming irrelevant for some if not most

So in my perslective I would've thought Gen X was right there with Millenials in the sweet spot

We always knew there weren't enough of us to matter. (At least, those of us on the younger end have always known. Maybe the older members of our generation didn't realize it for a while.)

I didn't expect that to play out with Boomers holding on to political power until GenXers were all old enough to retire, but it seems to be playing out that way.

Yep. Seeing that a lot today for some reason.

There is no place in the screenshot that specifies which generation is referred to that knows how to rotate PDFs. They could be Gen X and you just assumed otherwise...
