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

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 22 points 2 years ago

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

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)

[–] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] abraxas@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years 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

Haha ok this meme was good.

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

[–] cvozbosher@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years 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.

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

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

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

It's not them. It's the super rich 0.1% who have screwed this generation.

[–] LoveSausage@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They didn't , same class did it same class is doing it. Fuck this stupid fake generation shit

[–] Balderdash@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Both are true. Boomers as a bloc have consistently voted for cutting social programs that they benefited from in favor of lower taxes, moreso than preceding and succeeding generations. The wealthy indeed shape the bills and reap the benefits, but it wouldn't happen without boomer support.

[–] clanginator@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you. Millennials and Gen Z are the same mindless consumers that boomers were, by and large. It wasn't their generation, it was the bourgeoisie.

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but if we blame the boomers we never have to take any responsibility and we can just continue mindlessly fucking the world up

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And that's why you always leave a note!

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] devious@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

They played the long game.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It can be four things.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Too real for me irl

[–] thatonedude1210@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago

Well they weren’t lying

[–] shalva97@lemmy.sdfeu.org 5 points 2 years ago

That's a plot twist
