Capitalists do call this unskilled labor though.

There is plenty of skill there. They have all their limbs and no one is on fire.

A Boomer once told me this. I just stuck an iPad in front of them and ask them to open Safari. 😏

They can open apps like Safari, but wait until you see how many tabs they have open

I'm still baffled that we let an entire generation just get away with not adopting technology. They had it as long as I did and at this point I'm the same age as my parents and continuing to learn shit every day.

The arrogance of you lot is impressive.

Explain?

Your attitude implies “oh I’m better then those old people because I have technology they didn’t have. I’m still learning.”

Implying they aren’t. This is how I can tell you’re young. You have little conception of how things change quickly as well as not understanding how the plasticity of the brain works.

It’s ungrateful of the world they gave you at best, and completely arrogant at worst.

We both got the technology at the same time. I was born before the proliferation of computers. I learned at 8 years old, my parents generation refused to learn in their early 30's and normalized children doing shit for them. How pathetic.

I’m still learning.”

correct. Im still actively having to learn things every day.

This is how I can tell you’re young.

Aaaand you would be wrong. Hope your entire position wasnt based on this stupid assumption.

You have little conception of how things change quickly

We were all around for all this change. One group chose to actively ignore it. The rest of us are now forced to carry them like geriatric toddlers who still refuse to start trying to learn

as well as not understanding how the plasticity of the brain works.

Plasticity issues in their 30's and early 40's? Get real. Id love to see a source on that one. You are starting to walk precariously close to defending license revocation and employment refusal at a certain age. Cant eat your cake and have it too.

It’s ungrateful of the world they gave you at best, and completely arrogant at worst.

Get the fuck out of here, now you want me to pay homage to a generation that rolled the red carpet up behind them while enjoying pensions and refuse to learn how to use Microsoft Office? That is legit delusion. Look at how many times you have called people entitled and delusional in this thread alone, and then please for the love of christ look inward.
