As a late GenX 90s kid: Fuck you for forgetting us AGAIN.
But this specifically is calling out getting the title of millennial, why would you expect gen X to be a part of the meme?
We were 90s kid first, we fucking founded the council.
I'm not trying to start shit, but wouldn't all people who were 90's kids start the council at the same time due to how time flows?
If we are adopting the 'media culture' view, then you need to at least be around 6 to start making the abstract connections necessary to make lasting memories about media.
So in 91, some '90's kids' are turning six and able to effectively even be cognizant of a council, whereas some 90s kids are yet to be born.
Or all generational cadres are made up arbitrary bullshit but if you watched Ducktales AND Rescue Rangers, and knew bugs bunny when he was still racist, then it is likely you and I will have a lot more in common than 90s kids who knew Spongebob and Blues Clues.
Okay boomer
Weaksauce, try harder.
Or maybe you are just bad at math, who knows?
It's a joke
For you maybe, for me that's fighting words.
NONE of you has had to deal with as many years of boomer bullshit as I have. NONE.
You think shit's bad for you now? Imagine turning 50 and being in the same economic position that all you millennials whine about. At least the economy has a chance to recover before you retire. None of my cadre have that kind of time left.
Some older GenX did make their wad before things got bad but literally the 3rd month of my IT career when the dotcom bubble burst.
If I could say to you what I really want to say, I'd get banned. If you're brave enough come to my sub and reply to what I'm about to post.
Then you are the source of most of your frustration.
I didnt say anything about anything.
Lol okay tough guy.
Chillout this is a meme thread. No one is talking shit about Boomers, Gen X, Millenials or Zoomers. It's a comically inoffensive meme.
No, and just writing pithy things doesn't make them true. Your life is a meme and you have forgotten how to communicate without them.
What the FUCK is with all of you shitbags assuming my gender? I thought we didn't do that here... Do I have to move over to Blahaj?
Look man, calm your balls down, nobody needs to deal with your bad attitude. Just lower the testosterone for two seconds.
You're acting silly over nothing, go for a walk.
Literally when in the history of humanity as telling an enraged person to calm down achieved that effect?
Most people are mature enough to realize they are being annoying and acting crazy when it's pointed out, and remove themselves from the situation to cool down.
Does your therapist tell you to stay in whatever situation that's enraging you and wallow in it? I'm guessing by now she just mostly sighs as she scribbles "narcissist" in big bold letters on her pad.
I'm not your mother, I don't have to coddle you. No one cares and no one wants to deal with your anger.
Go for a walk. If anything, it might help you lose weight (I'm assuming you're fat)
Exactly what a narcissist would say
Lmao, you can be autistic and other things including a narcissist. In any case, I doubt you've ever been diagnosed by anyone other than google.
Ya the economy is rough, and it's probably harder to keep a job when you're addicted to being a dick. It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?
Put yourself in other peoples shoes for once in your life and realize that your behavior is heavy and just drags people down and ruins their day. You refuse to acknowledge your problem in any real way and actively enable yourself.
Stop wallowing in your own filth and walk away from the computer when you start having an episode, it's literally that simple.
Directly from the article you just posted.
Have you been officially diagnosed? It's really easy to put autist next to your name and pretend, using it as an excuse to be a complete asshat.
I have friends with autism and it doesn't make any of them assholes. You are using it as an excuse as to blame anyone but yourself for your abrasive and draining personality.
You're poor because of the economy and no one like you because of your autism and blah blah blah. Grow the fuck up and find a way to deal with your problems without making it everyone else's problem around you, take some responsibility.
Your behavior is pathetic.
You know this conversation has been challenging to read. The guy you are talking to is clearly an arsehole through and through, and I have also had the displeasure of dealing with them. I do though think you have to be cognizant of the fact that most people with autism do not have full time employment, and is isn't all our fault. Some of the world does conspire against autistic people since we are a minority up to an including attempted genocide of us and other disabled people.
That being said you are 100% correct that autistic people can have personality disorders including narcissism. It's especially funny you managed to find evidence of that within their own source, and they have had to go back and delete the comment. I hope they go and reflex upon there behavior and that's it's not something serious like narcissism that's caused them to act like this. Narcissists do require some amount of sympathy as it's not their fault they ended up that way - it is primarily the products of psychological trauma and genetics after all.
I completely agree with you. I was essentially being as harsh as I could allow myself to be to drive my point across that outright and constant hostility makes for a poor community. My bad if it came off as insensitive, my goal doesn't really excuse how I went about it.
I think when dealing with these types of people being harsh is very much warranted. They earned a harsh response based on their general behavior on this forum. I could easily be as harsh or more if someone managed to piss me off. So you're tone was actually justified and you shouldn't be too harsh on yourself.
You do have to be very careful not to implicate anyone who isn't at fault, and that includes unemployed disabled people including autistic people. That also includes people with personality disorders who are regularly thrown under the bus in a world where the majority Them being unemployed or poor or what have you is as much the fault of society as it is their bad attitude - no one should be poor in an ideal world. That's all I wanted to make clear. That being said there are plenty of disabled people including autistic people who are just arse holes, and it's fine to call them that too.
I sincerely hope we find a way to effectively treat narcissism and other personality disorders one day. It causes as much suffering to the individual in question as it does the people around them.
You know nothing about me. Why are you raving like a lunatic?
You've gotten mad about the gender thing now in our short correspondence. I think you are just looking for a fight.
I don't know what group of "shitbags" you're referring to but you sound like an angry old man.
I have to admit, with a few years more practice you might have actually gotten under my skin.
Listen anon, I'm sure you were hot shit back on the chans but I was dealing with trolls before the internet had pictures.
Lick every single inch of my asshole and come back for seconds.
You're impressing no one. Enjoy being miserable.
You really don't understand the purpose of this sub. Also: autistic people generally aren't interested in impressing anyone. Why are your jabs so pitiful? I feel like you stopped putting effort it. It's fine, you can go take a nap and come back when you feel rested.
Dude, relax
Don't worry, it won't; the issue is not with what people associate with economy, that one is booming, just look at how the market is developing. But the wealth pools at the top and there's no political will to change that.
Which is why I advocate for 'Nourriture à base des riche', in minecraft, of course.
I will be voting blue, no doubt, but American Democrats are considered slighty right as compared to the rest of the world, so I have no illusions that will change anything.
Calm down, nerd.
We truly are the forgotten generation.
If you'd stop being the majority of conservative social media personalities we'd stop trying to forget you, you Charlie Kirk looking goofy motherfuckers.
Although it is fun to eat popcorn while the millennials and the boomers yell at each other.
I believe were called Xennials.
Bro stealing the remote from your little brother who was watching doug to watch MTV was not being a 90s kid. You had punk rock, give us something.
Yeah, but as a member of Gen X, we're the last to be able to own property.
Swings and roundabouts, innit?
Sure that's possible for older GenX.
Xennials like myself had barely a few years (in my case months) before the dotcom bubble ruined our one generational leg up.
If I had been smart and dumped IT and went back to school for writing, I'd probably have a house, but stupid autistic me wanted to fucking be a computer person...
Tech pays just fine. Maybe not as much as being a lawyer, but there are people who make £50-100k per year working in tech as programmers, engineers, or professors. That's a reasonable salary for most of the country. I know there are people in America making way more, though that does have to cover health care.
Not if you were caught in the middle of Florida when IBM and everyone else pulled out from the dotcom crash, flooding the entire state with thousands of career IT people WITH FUCKING IBM ON THEIR RESUMES and you are a naive little autist with literally zero support fresh out of college.
Sure there are parts of the world my experience would have landed me a living wage.
Not in florida in the 90s. I never broke the equivalent of £30k till I crawled out of that humid hellhole.
I never recovered and people never seem to tire of dismissing it all as my fault.
You're talking about things that happened in the 90s. If you are still struggling now 3 decades later because of that then I have to question if you are the problem. I know people about my age (I was born in 2001) getting mortgages working in tech without even a proper computer science degree, just doing desktop servicing and repair. There have been some rough times recently with people getting fired after the pandemic ended and with the AI boom. However there have also been new opportunities thanks to AI. I am getting funded to do a 3 year PhD with a 19K a year bursary thanks to AI hype. If there is an AI bust that just means more jobs for regular programmers as companies realize that replacing them with LLMs wasn't a good idea. If not then anyone who can make or work with AI models is quids in.
I have never worked in or been to America so I have no idea what has or hasn't happened in Florida before I was born, nor do I care. Given that was three decades ago you shouldn't really care either. If it's that big of problem can't you "move state" since America is supposed to be so big and diverse? For me to leave the UK which is much smaller I would need to go through immigration. There are booms and busts in all markets and always will be until we can overthrow capitalism.
Nice try troll, I hereby excise you from my internet experience forever.
I am not a troll. I am talking from my own personal experience. It is good though when the trash takes itself out.
I was in the same place experiencing the same thing, hell we probably ended up working together doing trivial jobs surrounded by people grossly overqualified. Things did end up better eventually for me, sorry to hear it didn't for you. We got the short end of the stick there for sure.
