  There’s a 0% chance the tiktok generation avoids using nukes on itself.

  As much as we hate the ‘old guard’ and as much damage as they continue to do to the world, in a way they are protecting us.

  There is no way the tiktok/instagram/twitter generation has enough foresight and appreciation for human life to avoid pushing the nuclear button when they’re in control.

  Can you point out the parts that aren’t about generations? Because the first paragraph is a single sentence about “the Tok Tok generation”, the second paragraph is a single sentence about the “old guard” generation, and the last paragraph is, well, a single sentence about the “Tik Tok / Instagram / Twitter generation”.

  You’re correct, there are in fact other words in your post besides “generation”, but all three sentences are literally only about how the next generation is too XYZ compared to the previous one.

  Telling people to read your post again while giving zero additional context doesn’t make everyone else go, “wow that guy is so dumb for not understanding the clearly written post! OP is smart and cool!” it just kind of proves to everyone that you’re talking out of your ass and can’t explain your position.

    For bonus points, i dont think OP is understanding that time flows linearly and at some point they will become the ‘old guard’ themselves, thus completing the cycle of ‘generation hate/love’

    (Im aware that this is the point you were making. Im just restating it because its a solid point that got a response of ‘lol are you blind’)

    People have always sucked, people have always not sucked. Maturing should be realizing that it sucks to hate others blindly.

    You do not mature automatically as you age. Life experiences and growth are what mature you. Some people have too much maturing at a young age. Some people have not enough at an older age.

    Anyway this got a bit ‘yelling into the void’ I love all of you, drink water.

    Right? No shit.

    I’ll say it out loud, man I fucking hate working with these kids that are just entering the job market. They are lazy, OMFG are they lazy, don’t pay attention to a goddamn thing going on around them, nearly everything that comes out of their mouths is complete bullshit, hell some of it isn’t even real words.

    …

    … .

    . . .

    I can’t even begin to imagine what it was like putting up with me in my first few jobs. I’m certain that I was completely full of shit, spoke half in slang, tried like hell never to lift anything heavy, vanished when my help was needed. I was a fucking kid, just like the kids today. Everybody sucks at that age because everyone is still figuring shit out, realizing how little school prepared us for any damn thing, and literally still figuring out who they are.

    Well, as one of the old fucks, now, I too bitch about the kids some, but I try at least to remember that they are just like us at that age, and I try to remind the other old fucks that they were too

    The new slang is wack though.
