Yessir, I'm aware. There are no baby boomers in my family, which is probably why I don't have angst against that generation. I think maybe some people are really just angry with their parents. So, when they seem irrationally upset with baby boomers, it could be what they're really saying is "I'm mad at you, daddy!"

There are no baby boomers in my family.

Stop the cap.

Pick one of the 4 all the same

They are the type to go on Facebook to complain about the service they received at McDonald's.

They're 90% of the idiots buying scratch offs.

They'll argue with a Walmart employee because the toaster they just bought didn't work.

They take cringy pictures where they're pointing a gun at their daughters prom date.

They think they're tough because they drove a stick shift when they were teens.

They can't meme, but try anyways.

And as they age they're becoming worse than boomers in every single way, there's just fewer of them thank God.

Not to mention they think playing outside is something exclusive to them. Absolute bozos

Stop the cap.

I know it's mind-blowing, but it's the truth.

Cap

Exactly. I make the distinction as follows:

• No internet
• You had to leave your home to access the internet
• You had access to the internet in your home
• You had access to the internet in your hand

You left out dial-up. "Don't pick up the phone, I'll lose my connection!"

Don't have a Facebook. Also, don't eat at McDonalds.

The lottery is a tax on people poor in math. Even I know that. Never bought a ticket.

They'll argue with a Walmart employee because the toaster they just bought didn't work.

Don't shop at WalMart.

<-- Not Brian Kemp. Coincidentally, daughter hasn't been to prom...yet.

They think they're tough because they drove a stick shift when they were teens.

I do think I am tough, but it is not because I drove a stick shift when I was in my teens.

They can't meme, but try anyways.

That would fall under the third bullet point of having an internet connection in your home. As tech evolved we had dial up, then DSL, and ultimately cable. But it was in our house. We didn't have to go to a school or a library to use it.

You gen Xers can be worse than boomers.

Too bad we don't care.
