    It’s funny ain’t it? I know those older Gen Xers said the same shit about me and my generation, and here I am. I try to remind myself that. But sometimes the stupidity of these kids exceeds my abilities.

      You’re absolutely right, but sometimes I think back to my own stupidity as I came of age and am just incredibly thankful that the internet was such a different place. As such, society was more forgiving and our dumbassery faded into the anonymity of time.

      That said, some things are really encouraging about the younger generations. They seem, as a whole, much more socially and environmentally conscious than I think many of us were. I meant my original comment in a “get off my lawn” kind of way (which I think you also understood and echoed), so as a more serious counterpoint to my original snark, “the kids are alright” if not all right.
