we could be looking at a trend here.

silent generation was pretty badass. two wars, a depression and they generated so much wealth they gave the baby boomers access to a lifestyle never experienced before.

then the boomers shat everywhere, ruined everything, gave nothing to gen-x and then wondered why gen-x complained.

gen-x has surved despite boomers taking everything from silent generation and giving nothing forward, and has created the millennial, a generation of tolerance and diversity.

and that generation sucks rear end.

makes you think.

boy columbine sucked for me. i was 11 at the time, and was basically a weirdo who liked computers and dungeons & dragons. so i would regularly have to go to the principal's office to explain that i was not, in fact, going to go on a school shooting

thinking back on it? if they were afraid of me doing something, u think they would have been nicer to me vOv

i feel bad for the millenials, because the next few decades are just going to be rehashing everything from the 80s and 90s over and over again with sequels and remakes, because why make things that appeal to children so they make their parents buy them things when the parents are still mental children themselves who will happily drop money on the things you made to appeal to children 30 years ago

i can't imagine the hell that is growing up in a world where half the stuff in the movie theater on any given day is poo poo your dad thought was cool when he was a kid

all the boomer hate is really hilarious because once the boomers cease to be a significant voting bloc, gen x is going to really show the world what it's like to live in a right wing nightmare state

i have never met a single boomer that is as vocally and actively reactionary as a gen xer

remember, even up to 2000, many even middlin tier jobs annual bonuses were salary+

hark back to natl lampoons xmas vacation where clark griswold being presented with a jam of the month club as a bonus was scripted as absurd comedy

i work for a marketing agency. once a client asked the design/graphics guy to make the kitchen in an image more ethnic, but not specific to any given ethnicity.

he put a bowl of peppers on the counter. the client was pleased.
