does every generation deal with the one that came before it, actively trying to bring about the end times?

Oh, I get it, and you are right. But my fundamentally illogical brain worries that whatever it is that makes me special, why and how I do the things I do, may have come from the coping mechanisms I've developed. I kinda like the atypical way I tend to look at things, and it's taken me far both personally and professionally. I struggle like mad every day but if that struggle is what makes me, me. I'll take it.
Honestly, the only reason I'd get diagnosed at this point is an explanation, I wouldn't likely change much about myself either way; so I don't bother. I also went through all the early 1980's ADD testing (before ADHD was even a thing) as a kid which came back negative (or at least that ritalin was ineffective for me); so I always just lived my life as I am who I am, no explanation needed.
I've known for a long time I should try to get a diagnosis but I'm afraid of changing now that I've spent 40+ years figuring out how to live.
I honestly am not pop culture literate enough to know if there is a genuine snub here or not, but I am socially aware enough that this is just so on the nose that it feels deliberate. Now, I'm not saying that it was, but come on academy, you had to be able to see this coming. In the end, these awards are subjective anyway, so a little self awareness might have been a good idea.
At least they broadcast their hypocrisy up front. 😐
A wee behind you (recently heard someone refer to my ‘generation’ as the Oregon Trail generation) but I’m with you.. if anything age has me not just leaning but charging headlong to the left.
And yet, somehow his supporters will see this as a sign of strength.
Been using it for years but now trapped in a constant state of trying to improve the organization. Every time I think I’ve got it structured logically, I find some way I could have done better.
“Minimizes diminished App Store revenue”
I am an Apple user and in the end I’m more comfortable with them having access to my data than google.. but man, they don’t even bother to pretend it’s a pro-consumer issue thing anymore.
Been noticing that a lot lately, corporate weasel language is dying as these companies grow more and more emboldened.
I may try to be cool, but I’ll never be Ernest in a DeLorean cool.
Omg, why did I have to be drinking coffee when I saw this.
I would rather go barefoot in shoes than wear socks twice in a row. Heck, I often change them when I get home from work.
I've long said, the first thing I'd do after winning the lottery is never wear the same pair of socks twice because my favorite of life's little unnoticed pleasures is the feeling of a new pair of socks.
