    I honestly think this talking point is so dumb anyway. The whole concept of generations is actually stupid. They’re just younger people dealing with their own flavor of the bullshit we all had to deal with. Their lives wouldn’t magically be enhanced if they were latchkey kids that struggled to install a hard drive without the internet. I thought we wanted them to have better and easier lives? Isn’t that the whole point? Why would we want them to struggle with our bullshit AND all the new stuff in the world that they’re dealing with now? Plop them in one semester of a beginner computer/programming course and they’ll know as much (if not more) as the average millennial it’s not that deep.

    It’s wild that every generation gets dunked on by the ones that came before and so many people still grow up and repeat the cycle. Why? Just be kind to your kids and educate them if you think they’re lacking important knowledge ffs. I’m especially disappointed in millennial parents doing this shit. We’re still getting blamed for idiotic things to this day. Be better than them.
