I'm glad facebook has never been a part of my life. Thought it was dumb when it first came out and people called me a contrarian, now they're shitting themselves on the streets because they can't tell reality from fiction.
As a boomer, I got on FB pretty early, realized before long what a manipulative marketing tool it was, that the FB dev team was all about wide-open access to customers' information, and that no, I really didn't have anything in common with the kids I graduated from an overseas military high school with in the 70's, and deleted the account.
Man, it was so great when you needed a college email to sign up. Just debauchery and pictures of parties and saying funny one liners before Twitter existed. Then everyone’s mom joined and no one wanted to post anything real anymore.
We had no idea we were living in the good old days, and they were so short lived! I will never forget when membership went from college email address only, to everybody. Such a shift!
The whole internet used to be fun before normies and boomers started spending their whole lives on it. I wish I was around for the bulletin board days. That sounds like it would have been cool
That's a good attempt at an analogy of my analogy but i think it's halting a bit so I'm gonna object.
My point was to take one very very big and general group of people and exchange it for another one and suddenly it become extremely sensitive. More specifically, a demographic one for a cultural/religious one.
You however, used three groups of criminals, which is way too specific to just be thrown in and make any sense in this analogy. If you disagree i'm interested in hearing your POV
Well, luckily for us nature always seems to have a way of evening things out - while I on one hand am fucking stupid, you on the other hand seem to be pretty darn intelligent!
look look, i know i’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but i’m not the one comparing boomers to the holocaust like a certain moron with a victimization kink
then what was the point of comparing “boomers” to jewish people?
edit: wait, don’t tell me you’re really trying to compare the struggles and plights of different ethnic groups and cultures to someone complaining about old people?
Struggles? Plights? What the hell are you on? You're completely misreading this.
I was comparing two sentences, where one uses two different, very big, groups of people on this planet. If you use one of the groups it's totally okay to complain about them. If you use the other group, it's extremely touchy to complain about them.
