      I’m at the point where what is ‘it’ is weird to me, but it isn’t scary yet.

      What amazes me is how much stuff I was “with” is still relevant to kids these days. I’m amazed at the staying power of Source Filmmaker for example.

    Fuck that. I’ll be too engrossed in my nursing home LAN parties to be talking to Gen B or C or K. Whichever it is when we’re all old.

    I don’t quite understand why it’s okay to pigeonhole people based on their age. It’s the same obtuse logic that racism works on: You ascribe all your prejudices to a imaginary group that is defined by nothing more than a single characteristic - be it age, race, gender or whatever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a millennial myself and I think this post is funny. Other might not.

    What I’m trying to say is that I can’t quite understand that with all the political correctness that is rightly emphasized these days, age discrimination seems to be excluded.

    I just don’t think this form of discrimination is particularly helpful to anybody, as it also pits one group against another - just like rasicsm does. So please don’t normalize that stuff just because it’s the only …ism left that is accepted in social media.

    And just to get that out of the way: Ok, boomer or millenial comments in response to this comment are not particularly original.
