I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook.

I skipped those, but I’m about to ruin whatever new platform my kids get in to.

Implying we aren't mostly disgruntled boomers here.

I'm pretty sure we're mostly disgruntled Millennials and Gen-X'ers.

Anyhow, it looks like TikTok might finally be heading towards some sort of ban or regulation in the US, so maybe it'll get killed by the Boomers but in a different way.

Nah. If you started skipping trends already you are free. Just use what you like lol

Well I happen to like embarrassing my kids so…

💀
I hope that was not serious.

I'm told that the joy of embarrassing your children is the main upside of parenting, actually.

Like being Michael Scott/David Brent of The Office on purpose and they have to be the long-suffering employees of Dunder-Mifflin/Wernham Hogg.

Because no matter how much you play the oaf, some fool still allowed you to be in charge of something important 😁

I can't wait to log in to the newest gamer platform only to engage in trash talk with a select group of boys. Three of them, to be exact.

"I fucked your mom!"
"Dad, go away..."
