My millennial (or maybe gen x) roommate spends a lot of time on tiltok, so she's always teaching me (a gen z) new 'gen z' slang.

It's fun, but on the other hand she has a pretty skewed perception of young people. She's always watching engagement-bait content online, and she seems to think most people my age are complete idiots.

I mean don't get me wrong, we are idiots, but we're not a different species or anything lol.

Growing up is realizing your parents were idiots too.

Highly disorienting to realize that the world is run by idiots.

And also invented the atom bomb.

In the glim flickering light, a moth invents a lightbulb which outshines the sun.

I try not to think too hard about it, for optimistic reasons.

There are always pearls among the swine.

People who complain about younger people are the biggest idiots who forgot that other idiots said the same about them a long time ago. Same with those who complain about older people a little too much.
