I saw you identify as gen X then assign responsibility to the successor of gen X, this does not appear to have been the intended meaning, if generations raging on each other is bullshit then im not sure why generations were brought up at all. our culture is in its death throes, did you want that to happen a bit less confrontationally? it is rankling to watch older people milling about discussing the freedom of choice they love, while their successors are unavoidably forced into the opposite - subscriptions, social media, doom scrolling, ai, these choice deprivations are the default option now and avoiding them in favor of reality is extremely difficult for the avg joe. honestly you remind me of parents in your generation and how they ask their kids things instead of telling them things. for the record I'm also a nobody and I have plans to unfuck the youth even though the pursuit is likely futile thanks to global warming + the butterfly effect, u could come up with some plans too if u wanted ...

I said:

> I'm an elder millennial (Xenial, really)

I’m a millennial. I could have left it at “elder millennial” I suppose. “Xenial” is a micro-generation, which is a searchable term.

> if generations raging on each other is bullshit then im not sure why generations were brought up at all

Because the original user, Huarache1, that you were responding to that prompted my response brought them up.

> u could come up with some plans too if u wanted ...

At this point it seems you have decided you just don’t like me and are looking for reasons to continue not to like me. That’s fine, you are a stranger on the internet, though odd because we’re fighting the same fight. And for the record, I really like your anger.

Also for the record, I told you what I’m currently doing, never insinuated that I had ever stopped thinking of things to do, and asked if you had any ideas yourself which you threw back in my face (in two different ways at that), so this is a pretty futile conversation.

A truly sincere good luck to you, though!


I think you have been a bit hurt by my words, this was not my intention, if you wanted to fight you'd be fighting not asking about it, may we one day battle side by side


Not hurt, just confused, lol. Though reading back, I can pinpoint the spots where we misunderstood each other. But there is little point in revisiting at this stage!

In any event, peace!
