I looked through their comments because I was curious if they're actually a piece of shit, or if they're just having a bad take or a bad day. No, that's actually what they believe. They have some fascinating opinions on how zoomers and gen alpha are effectively inferior to millennials.
Ask a Gen Z or Boomer to boot up in safe mode for their computers. Shits wild how uninformed these generations on average are. It’s sad that I sit with nephews and try and inform them. But they have no interest in understanding how their Roblox machine operates. Just like how I deal with my elders who scream at their iPad because they split the screen between two tabs on the browser app. It’s sad. They really are just that dumb. How many of them can even rotate a pdf?
You see how you sound? You have knowledge that you needed and wanted. Just like boomers needed and wanted to understand how cars worked. Kids don't need to debug or reformat or rotate PDFs, and so they don't know how. It's a skill, it's not intelligence.
So, with all that said...
OK Boomer.
Ask a millennial to hook up a horse to a carriage, or to iron a shirt. Shits wild on how uniformed these generations on average are.
Don't mistake your competency with the technology of your generation with superiority.
“I know a computer word so I’m smarter than an entire generation of people”.
Did you not realize that the younger you are, the worse you are going to be screwed by Traitorapist Trump on: nuclear proliferation from Trump's new world disorder, global warming, spread of Fascism, massive debt on tax cuts for billionaires, gutting of government infrastructure and services, new victimless crimes, etc? The Boomers aren't going to be the ones who pay the worst price for Treason Trump's massive enshitification program.
Sir, this is a Lemmy. Our computers don't have that, they have ~~GRUB~~ idk,
systemd-bootor some shit.EDIT: Of course it's a real thing.
lol. You mean the two generations who have been radicalized by alpha bros pushing supplements on their podcasts? I at least have voted against Trump three times. I know who I support and will help. I just have given up fighting the tariffs. I’ve saved up enough money to weather the storm. For now. But I’m lucky enough to live near super farms that grow hundreds of different local crops year round. I grew up in the poorest region in the country. I’ve seen hardships up close. Those people will still get through this. But those MAGA finance bros looking for quick rich schemes. They will suffer from their own hubris. And I’m all for it. Just hope the rest of you make it out ok. You don’t deserve this. But it’s medicine to kill the cancer.
