A millenial “boomer” meme
Mine just hit me and did the best they could out there. I don’t blame them just as I don’t call the latest generation lazy whiners. We’re all doing the best we can in our situation given the options we have.
Meanwhile you, as a kid, enjoyed the good life because of it.
This is such a shit take. You brought people into this world, you owe them, not the other way around.
The good life is the bare minimum a parent should provide their child.
My parents provided me with a good life. And they used the things that causes global warming to do so, as do you while posting the internet.
They brought me to school when it rained with their car. Bought a color tv, vcr and Nintendo to keep me entertained. We went on holidays during summer with the car or a plane. We went to see car races, went karting. We did boat trips. And I enjoyed every bit of it.
Everyone blaming that generation for global warming. While their survival chances were uplifted times 100 because of hygiene. Clean clothes, warm houses, safe and dry traveling. Electronicss for learning. 1/3 of the people complaining about them causing global warming wouldn’t even survived or be here to complain about it if that generation didn’t use the tools at their disposal.
Everyone thinking that generation caused it and they themselves did not benefit from it are just hypocrites.
That said, we should try and minimize global warming.

Come on, all of this existed before the shit generation was even born, you could argue that they distributed these wonders, but they did it while destroying the fucking planet for a economic gain. Mass producing these things while not fucking up WAS possible.
Nobody’s blaming previous generations for causing climate change before it became widely known that it was a problem. We blame them (or the ones a majority of them elected, to be precise) for fighting tooth and nail to avoid doing anything once it became clear how big of a problem it is.
I don’t have a problem with boomers admitting that they fucked up. But what I have a problem with is them still doubling down and tripling down with the same crap even though we know it’s not sustainable.
With that said, you can have a good quality of life without fucking up the planet. A good life can be had without a vcr, or streaming services or many of the modern amenities that we use everyday.
We could use a lot less and be happier, but this goes against the current capitalism system led by old men. So yeah, I blame that generation because they refuse to see the reality and change their ways.
Honestly this is the he worst way to make a child stop crying. Threats can cause scars.
I think the problem isn’t the “threat” but the implied “I couldn’t possibly care less why you’re crying”
Yes, it’s invalidation of feelings followed by the infliction of physical violence to make the abuser feel better.
“At least I never hit you!” “If I did that at your age I’d get beat.” “I got the belt for talking back”
Yeah I wish I had the validity of physical scars, nobody sees the ones words leave.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but soon the sting will pass
But names can dig so many graves, you won’t know where to stand.
I discovered a song searching your quote! Is that a common expression? I like it.
