Remember kids: the higher the productivity graph climbs, the more proof there is that no one wants to work!

Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs

To be fair this does hit them first as they age

But also they just strike even by metabolizing their life savings / real estate to pay for this

Leaving us… with no inheritance and holding the bag

Just two years ago I thought they wouldn't see the effect of global warming and would die comfidently ignorant. I was wrong, but somehow it doesn't make things better.

And blame us for not having kids.

Mine just accused me of being gay via hearty use of homophobic slurs, because only women and gays cry, and i wasnt no woman.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

That's lame. Real men aren't afraid to cry, whether straight or otherwise.

That hurt to read, I'm so sorry

Everyone said I was disadvantaged by having a single parent, but I didn't have to live through any of that shit except for 1 year my mother married (and then left the guy because he was an ass)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

One good parents better than 30 shitty ones, mate, and sounds lik you had a good one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Ehhhhhhhh.... I wouldn't go that far. I had a not-terrible one, who only showed bad sides when I was in my 20s. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I had a similar situation. My dad was a toxic person who thought it was wrong when I cried (which I did a lot; I was a very emotional kiddo) and my mom did everything she could to protect me from that. They eventually separated the year I went into high school, and guess which one I still talk to now in my adult life.

Haha ok this meme was good.

I'm one of the parents. Sorry for my generation. :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (3 children)

We know it's not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.

We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they'll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we're able to dampen their greed and intolerance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Minor correction, boomers weren't the ones fighting for civil rights. Boomers would have been in kindergarten during the civil rights movement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure boomers didn't invent running.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh my god, that guy's arm just came off!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So....they did give us something to cry about.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

They played the long game.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It can be four things.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Well they weren’t lying

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago
