Boy I'm getting super sick of these, "Millennials are doing this ____ , gen Zers are ruining that ____ , boomers are mad about ____" articles. Having one less thing to divide us as people would be nice right about now.

The only true generational division is lead poisoning induced aggression Vs micro plastic induced sterility.

Unfortunately, it’s accumulative. I’m fortunate enough to have experienced leaded gasoline as well as a nutsack full of microplastics.

3 more generational disasters to go before you can shout BINGO! Keep it up

I only need two. PFAS is the free square in the middle. Everyone gets that just for playing.

Sterility is good though.

Yeah man I hear you on this. One of my younger coworkers was like "OK boomer" when I told him something, I was like "dude, we are ALL fucking Americans, cut that shit out." There was a brief moment of lucidity in his eyes, and then it died. I don't think I got through to him.

I wonder when I'll be regarded as a person/adult.

Like the movie Jaws, "When do I get to be an islander?"

"Never, you're not born in the late 40s to mid 60s, you'll never be an adult."

We may as well call ourselves the Peter Pan generation.

Peter Pan generation

I'm actually okay with that. Growing up is stupid. Bills and politics and heartburn and hemorrhoids and shit.

You should read up on the Non-Disney version of Peter Pan and why the kids never grew up before you agree to that.
