There is a lot going on there, Nick.
What worries me...every time I go out, it seems like there's more younger people around. ??? ??? ???
Cauliflower rice? Fuck no. Almond milk? Fuck no. Avocado toast? What the fuck is wrong with you. And quinoa. And poke. Seriously. Fuck you All. Just go back to whatever planet you came from.

I just absolutely despise Millennials. Despise them. And they seem to be increasingly taking a leading role in the world. Cauliflower rice? Fuck no. Almond milk? Fuck no. Avocado toast?

Oi! As probably the oldest Millennial member here, I must resent that generalisation! We aren't all vegan hipsters who complain about the world going to shit...well, I'll admit most of us complain about the world going to shit, but the ways and reasons vary wildly. But each of us are as different as you older guys. So maybe take a seat and chat to us sometime.What worries me...every time I go out, it seems like there's more younger people around. ??? ??? ???

Hey, I don’t despise any Millennials *here*. I went to work for a younger law firm a few years ago. They were awful. Unprofessional, mercenary, materialistic, and didn’t give a shit about anyone, including the clients. When I quit, I took all my clients with me, and we ended up getting into a lawsuit, then two, then three… By the time it was over we had seven lawsuits in five different Jurisdictions. They were having illegal (ex parte) communications with the courts; filing things they didn’t serve on me. Even trying to have hearings without providing notice. In the end we got it resolved, for less money than I offered in the very first place. But it really soured me on that entire generation. Because I don’t see good things coming out of them. At least not the ones I know.Hm. Sounds like you came across a team of Ben Shapiros. Traitors to modernity, they are.
So don’t take anything I say personally. I’m just butthurt.
Yeah us milennials sure are the worst with our, uh... quinoa.
So sorry to all the Boomers and GenXers, who just care too much about others. Food for thought for the future, when I'm still renting in my 40s and moving inland to avoid rising sea levels in my 60s.
Either way, it's true that the boomers spent about a decade talking, complaining, singing, and ranting about the state of the country and the world.
Meanwhile, we're actually trying to do something about it.

Hmmm? Let's see? The boomers marched for civil rights legislation and for that, major civil rights legislation was passed. The boomers protested long and hard to end the Vietnam War, even those boomers who fought in it. I am sure there are a few more noble accomplishments the boomer generation helped bring about. ;D ;D

FYI, the white boomers began matching for civil rights in number after 1964, when the Civil Rights Act was passed. But it's true that they marched in support of the rights that that landmark piece of legislation guaranteed.
While I loathe the whole "ok boomer" thing, it's worth pointing out that boomers in their day complained about the generation gap, and warned us about trusting older people.
Well, the shoe's now on the other foot...
I think parents who are boomers were less strict with their children then their parents were. And the children of boomers who are now parents are less strict then they were. In some ways, that is good. In other ways, not.
No unsupervised play, indoors or out.Okay, I grew up outside of town, so indoor and outdoor play were not an issue. That said, I wouldn't be suprised if they were a little paranoid about me playing outside in my early years. And their concerns would be sort of justified, since they lost their oldest son in a drowning accident before I was born.
Irrational fear of strangers and/or kidnapping.I wouldn't quite call it irrational. Exaggerated, maybe, at most, but certainly not irrational. Reading that line immediately made me think of the disappearance of the Beaumont children, and many other cases since.
Strollers, play pens, and car seats until the kids are old enough to drive themselves.Okay, this one does get my goat, and that's because our nice Government made it a law for kids to be in booster seats until they're either seven years old, or 140cm tall! Madness, I tell ya!
Doing the kids’ homework, and then going to campus to argue with the teachers about grades.Another thing that, as a tutor, gets my goat. But also the flipside gets me too, those who really push their child past the point of sanity to have their kid achieve "the best marks they are capable of" (i.e. straight A's in every subject they tell them to take). Please let your kids be kids!
Now, I'm sorry you had the police called on you for such a trivial thing. In all truthfulness, we are fucking terrified sometimes, when shit gets very real. But we are trying, and generally making good decisions, even if a few of us seem more incompetant than I sometimes make myself out to be. (Long story there...)
What nobody ever told me is that it would hurt, literally hurt, for a moment every time I got up or stood up. Then I’m fine, but jeezy crackers! What’s the point of that?
