Baby Boomers, Gen X, millennials

We’ve accepted that our daughter who is 12 will not leave unless she goes to university and even then it could’ve local and to keep costs down May stay at home (although that’s a huge miss on a massive part of Uni) or when she gets married or moves in with someone, we won’t have the ability to give her a deposit unless we inherit something ourself.
Tbh if you let her smoke pot, live on toast/instant noodles,come home whatever time she likes and get ploughed by a different bloke every week she'll still get the halls of residence experience and save a fortune.
 
This “generation whatever vs generation whatever” nonsense was never a thing until the last couple of years.

Another chapter in the culture wars shite to be filed alongside being woke vs being anti woke, whether people should put pronouns in email signatures or not and arguing whether trans people should be able to compete in sports, and other such bullshit that 99% of the population are sick of hearing about and couldn’t give a toss about either way.
 
True, but a lot harder for younger generation to understand the dangers of social media, the algorithms, the addiction, the peer pressure - also even logging into various sites, selling and buying etc often requires having a social media login. Its causing alot of mental health issues and leads to suicide for some. but yeh of course, they should just man up.

I’m a “millennial” and I’m very grateful to have grown up as the internet was emerging.

It was drummed into us at an early age to be wary of “strangers in chat rooms” and the like. That mindset gives us a healthy dose of skepticism not to believe any old shite we read on the internet.

Both older and younger generations are a lot more naive when it comes to social media and “fake news” etc.

Just more fuel for the idiot fire that thinks generations gone by were super great and the bestest ever and today's youth are all scum. Really helps society.
